up his shoes.
In the only game that .he team has
' playQd this season Sam iitoml out far
ahead of the rest of th<; players.
Some may disagree witi this, but in
that game Sam was making himself
look hud because he wi s having to
wait on some of the oth>r hoys.
The other guard poni ion is being
filled by’ fHirwood Vartoer, another
junior, who was a aquadrtnn last year.
“Woi*dy” is going to have to im

Billy Joe Addifn M Mding down
one of the forward jobs while James
Carrigan is starting at the other.
Adams is If nquadman and ( arrignn
is a junior college transfer With
should
more experience, these men ■
ooitta* along fast. Both are six feet
three inches tall.
J. T. Lang, former XU^State man is
due to see lots of .sorvice at guhri.
Lang is 24 years ok! and has played
lots of baaicetball.
Jude Smith of Houston, a junio:
fair
college transfer, looked pretty
while he was In I the game Saturday
night. He might be one of the start
ing guards by the time the confer
ence competition comes along. j
It is lumored that Bob Folk will
play lots of ball this year, as will
Thom TmWr n Both of these nu-n art-
forwards. 1
Other men on the team are Harry
Holland, Adrian Eder, A1 Scarbor
ough.; Patti Woffoni,! Dan Jarriell.
"Cotton" Price, Bemhrd Richardson,
and C. D. Bwell.
The Aggies open their conference
nice against Rice at Cbllege Station
Jan. 6. Rice is mucht (stronger th's
year than they wowjlast. They de
feated Tulanc by a j|aiy large score
last Saturday. Aikef Rie? come* Bay
lor at College That last Baylor game
will be remembered a long time. The
cadets woit in an overtime game.
After Baylor the Aggies go t<>
Houston ddmott'ithp)| will meet the
Owls in their sicoind game. January i
20 will find A- k {Hfipj 1 ^ ort Worth

chance of winning the flag this trip.
On the 14th of that month the Cadets
will play Baylor in their second game
at Waco. AfUr this T. C. U. comes to
Collage on their southern swing and
will play here Fab. 17. S. M. U. will
pay us a visit on Feb. 20, before the
Aggies trip dp to tht Oxarks where
they play the' Raxorha. on the 24th
und 26th. i
Those boyf in Arkansas are still
as tall as every. I don’t think they
let a man ot^ the team them- who is
leas than aix feet tall. After McQuillan
and hia boys'get out of thair fracas
in Arkansas they will come back and
then step over to Austin where they
will end their season against Texas.
t
Several ga|ne* will be played with
strong non ^inference teams from
now till the first fray. The boys will
spend a 1st go part of their Christmas
h tliduys playing and practicing so
that they wilt be ready for Riee.
It ia hardi to say just where the
Cadets will finish in this race, but
we are williag to bet that they will
not be la Ust place. These is on*-
thing that wt- can say about the Car
dets end thpt is th^t they will be
fighting until the final second of
eveiy ball gdme.
There was not a single Aggie who
fouled out ofitheir first game. Daws m
Icokd to be k much smoother player
than he sms last year, but R is still a
good idea.not to fight too much with
him for the ball.
Arkanaas, > M. U. and Texas Uni
versity appedr to have the strongest
teams of the league and the ehampi in
ship will likdly go to one of them.
Texaa has! been strengthened a lot
by their transfers from John Tarle-
ton. a membpr school in the A. A M
system'.
