Cowboys invade Waco for a two game aeries with the Bruin nine. The games will both be non-con ference affairs and will give the inexperienced Baylor performers a*etmnee to get in more playing time before they return to the loop play a week later against T. C. U. Although they dropped a couple of one-run defeats to the Texas Aggies last week, Coach Morley Jennings’ charges showed lota of promise in their opening confer ence games aad then came back strong in their third game of the week to hand the Rice Owls a 7 to 1 setback in Houston. Inexperience waa the thing that held the Bears back in their tilts with the Aggies as they seemed to lack the polished playing ability that would have enabled them to pull both games out of the fire in the late innings. The Baylor pitching, batting and fielding nil showed marked ira provement from one game to the next and indicated that the Okla homa Cowboys are going to ha lot of trouble in their twe-g series. re a TO THE CLASS of '40 THERE ARE M47 FOREIGN students attending V.
