For the Agfiee, tt will preeeat a
flR*'set-up for an upeet victory
over the favored Longhorns; and

gardless of the potrntcy of the
Farmers, they aseer are cmche*
to be defeated ia their owa gym-
dam.
1 « - And a victory over the
Steers would be dear to the heart
of every Cadet, since it weald
probably tarn the University ang
ers into "also raas.”
KKGULARS START
lack Qmy, 1 Longhorn coat-h.
probably will start the same crew
against the Aggies that swept the
North Texas series with S. M. U.
and Texas Christian early this
warit: Captain WQlit Tata and
Thurman Hull, forwards; Denton
Cooley, center; and Oran Spear*
and Bouncing Bobby Moert, guards.
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. D. “Speedy” Houpt in
the center slot in place of Cooley,
and Elmer (Seahiseuit) Finley or
Chee (One Hen Gang) Gram lb-
in Hull’s forward post.
In ('oob>y, the Steers are fea
turing a story-hook athlete, for
the six-foot Houstonian, a med
iocre second-string Yearling last
year, has developed into one of
Gray’s most dependable scoring
bets. In his first foil-fledged game,
against St Edward’s Tigers, the
big blond lad damped thiru-* i
points through the basket
for high honors; against the high
flying Ponies last Monday ha loop
ed nine; then came back Tvenduy
to score four against the Frog*
for a mean average of eight points
per gnme.

The one man the Cadets nos
stop, however, is the Steers' India
Rubber Man, Bobby Moors. Moors
•beer aggressiveness sad competi
tive spirit has played a prominent
part in the Longhorn coax
His ball-hawking and hai
tamed S. M. U. from a great finish
team to a collection of jitterbug*
last Monday. Moert is eapabit of
aeoring a great number of points,
should he go on one of his sooring
sprees. 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. In the St Ed *
e, he held Ed Morris, one of
the nation’s best basque leers, to
two field goall, he blanketed Snip
er Norton of 8- M. U. and Ben Ab
ney of the Frogs mors effectively
than these gentlemen have bo< n
covered to date.
TATE PERKS UP
The fifth member of the starting
line-up, Captain Tate, has been off
his 19S7 and 19S8 form practically
all season. In the Pony and Chna
tion games, however, Thte indi-
d he was about ready to pick
ap where he left off last season,
when he was one of the leading
aoorers in the conference.

The job I have before me is one
that I always approach with fear
and trembling, for no matter what
I my or how tactful I ass, I get
into trouble over the views ex
pressed by this corner. Fee never
intended to net as publicity agent
for anyone, and I’vf always tried
to be as fair as possible. The job
I refer to is the oo« of sommenUng
i the intramoral standfag* of the
various organ!nations, and helping
to interpret the figures.
During the past week, complete
half-year standings in both Class
A and B were released for ail out*

In the Class A flag chase we find
three Field Artillery battel

pace for the rest of the pack. C

of Milner when an intramural team
is defeated. Not only is E Battery

words, every Field Artillery outfit
