The team's morale appears the highest ever, and its physical con dition is the beat that could be ex peeled. That there will be a barrage of passes in the game became evident after the work-out Friday. The Texas aerials will more than likely come from the hands of Gilly Da via, B&efus Bryan, and Wally Law son, who will be piiyipg his last game for the Orange had White Bible has been drilling the boys since the T.

Hard work, 1 * be said when asked what he intended to give his play ers from now until the game. He considers Hosier Norton’s Aggie team one of the strongest any where, but the Longhorns “will be ready for them."
