Dwyer, who is a junior. He is the

up bis shoes.
In the only game that the team hu*
jphiyeQ.'this season Sam stood out fMrj
ahead of the rest of the player*.
.Some may disagree with this, but in

The Aggies open their conference
race against Rice at College Station
Jan. 5. Rkf A ihueh stronger this
year than they wctO last. They de-
■feater! TulaSe by a Vyry large score
last Saturday. After Rik comes Bay
lor at College. That Inst Baylor game
will be remembered' * long time. The
cadets won in Ai overtime game.
After Baylor the Aggie* ; go to
Houston where they will meet the
Owls in their second game, January
20 will find A. A M. m Fort Worth
where they will tangle with the Frogs.
The next night they ’will play the
strong 8. M. U. Ponie* at Dallas. \ ’
Feb. 11 will find Jack Gray and
his yettoei ahirtad Texas Steer* here
chance of wgming the flag this trip.
On the 14th of that month the Cadets
will play Bailor in their second game
at Waco. A Mx f this T. C. U. comes to
College on Qieir southern swing and
will play here Feb. 17. 8. M. U. will
pay us a vis t on Feb. 20. before the
Aggie* trip up to tht Oxark* ^ where
they play the Raaorhaclrt on the 24th
and 25th.
Those boy* in Arkansas are still
as tall as every. I don’t think they
let a man oa the team there who i*
less than six feet tall. After McQuillan
snd his boy* get out of Uuir frues*
in Arkansas they will come back and
then step over to Austin where they
will end then season against Texas.
It is tumored that Bob Folk will
play lots of 'kail this year, a* will
Thom Tinker- Both of these imri^are
forwards. e | i •
Several, gape* will be played with
strong non-conference teams from
now till the first fray. The boys will
spend-a laigq part of their Christmas
holidays pluymg and practicing so
that they will be ready for Rice.
it is hard •’ to say just whore the
Cadet* will finish in this race, but
wo are willujg to bet that they will
not be ia luist place. TVere is one
thing that wE can say about the Ca
dets end Quit is that they will be
fighting
the final
ennd of
at College. Texas hjia.a very good system
evoty ball g^mc.
There was ;not a single Aggie who
fouled out of their first game- Daws >n
■ looks to be 4 much smoother player
than he was pst year, but K is still a
good idea not to fight too much with
hint for the t^all
Arkansas, $. M. U. and Texax Uni
versity appear to have the strongest
leaps of the league and the champion
ship will likely go to one of them.
Tbxas has been strengthened^ a lot
by their transfers from John Tarle-
ton. a member school in the A. A M.
