The Gaels led 20-0 going into the fourth. The Gaels scareely per mitted the Red Raiders to have the ball in the first half. In the second half the Raiders did not let the Gaels have the ball very much. But the magnificent jessing; of the chunky Tech halfback. Bubbles Barnett, wasn’t enough to catch the big claimants to the Pacific Coast co-championship. Until the wild fourth quarter the game, most successful of the Cot ton Bowl series at the box office, was a very sour affair for almost all of the customers. The rugged Gaelsbrought scarcely any supporters, save e half dosen poker-face# - sports writers. ' ' j 4 .The Gaels’ ground game was very sturdy thing.

Then California’s Chamber of commerce give birth U> an idea of selling that state to the nation with a football classi.: to be hdd 6n New Year’s day.; The winning West Coast team *ould play one of the strongest te*ns from the east side of the Rocky Mountains, V.

Evbn though many of the studenfc are disgusted with athletics hefe they should turn out to see their team and friends play.

Rice has a new coach, and two __Imphomores that are death at 0. , s b‘>wting for the basket. These’two sharpshooters are rather short men' and should be easy to guard. On" paper it seems that Rice and T. C.

The starting Aggie lineup will have Al Scarborough and James Csrrigsn at forwards, “Big Dog” Dawson at center, and Capt Sam Swyer snd J. T. Lang at guards Dwyer ii the only letterman on the squad. The first string fi- serves art Tinger, Wheelis, Tinker, Smith, and Adams.
