Ihfc line-up will present two sophomores. Hall and Cooley, two juniors, Hoars and Spears, aad one senior, Tata. A possible alteration to this line-up weald be the injec tion of W.

He also is one of Gray's most dependable defensive player* and sticks closer to his man than Scotchman to a nickel. Spears is not the offensive man his four other starting team-mates but he definitely is Teas’ best guard. His work to date has left nothing to be desired by the Longhorn coach.
