A.&M. Hopes
Are Slim in
Two Hard Games
BY TOM DARROW
Way over in the Arkansas hills,
over where the Rasorback Hogs
arl the thickest, the Texas Aggies
are going to try and out-root the
Hogs tonight and agmfe tomorrow
night, in the tail-end of tho South-
west Conference basketball fag
chase.
The Aggiee have won two games,
both from the luckless T. C. U.
Frogs, while the Arkansas team
has lost only three games, to hold
down third place ia the loop stand
ing. A clean sweep of the series
for the Hogs, would give them a
fighting chance at th.» flag, while
an Aggie victory would not help
their sixth-pteae portion
With the Adams,
Arkansas's loading conference scor-
sr, in his usual form, the Cadets
chances for f win «u very slim,
and Capt Sammy Dwyer down for
the count from exams doesn’t help
things.
J. T. Lang, vetsatle Aggie soph
omore, ia acting as captain of the
team, and along with him **Big
I>og” Ifcwson at center. Tomrmo
Tinker and Smlkh as forwards, and
“Red Hess" Carrigan at the other
guard position, carry the Farmers’
hope for victory.
Following this excursion into the
Oaarkt, the Aggiee will wind up
their conference play in Austin,
whare they tackle the loop-leading
Steers. Whether they win, lose or
draw the rest of the games, the
Cadets are definitely in next to
last (dace, just above the T. C. U.
Frogs.
