Texas A. & M. and the University of Texas are in the title race for the flag and the question will be settled this weekend when the Steers invade Aggieland. Mel Deutsch, ace hurler for the Steers, is rumored to have a sore arm, but I imagine that the wing will be in shape for the big games Friday and Saturday.

College View Service Station East Gate - Dial 4-7424 Conference Spotlight Will Focus on Kyle Field Games 8,000 Fans to Witness* Heated Diamond Feud By Jack Hollimon In a clash for the conference lead Friday and Saturday after noons on Kyle Field, the first place Texas Longhorns cross bats with Texas A. & M. in runner-up posi tion, and the outcome will give the winner an excellent chance to go on to a championship. Texas has subdued conference teams nine times while being overwhelmed once, and the Aggies have six consecutive victories to two early defeats. These games hold the spotlight for Southwest conference sports during the weekend. A crowd of nearly 8,000 fans is expected to fill the stands on both afternoons, and in the event of two Texas victories, there will not be a third in Austin Monday and the Steers will be 1941 champions. However, should A. & M. come through, they need win only those three games to oust Texas as base ball champions. If they need to finish up, they will play Baylor a game washed out earlier in the season. Everything points to a battle worthy of much recognition be tween these ’ age-old rivals on the field of sports. No victory is so sweet to the Aggies as a thorough stomping of the Longhorns, while the Texans consider an A. & M. win a successful season. To urge their corps and players into a fren zy of yelling and backing-up of the team, the complete A. & M. band will be present along with the yell leaders. From the south stands, orange and white will be a color combination much disdain ed.

Main - Houston, Texas ’-Bumpers, Roy Peden, Billy Hen derson, and Charlie Stevenson. Bumpers and Peden are likely to start, with the other two used to quell a possible Texas uprising. Texas has ailing Melvin Deutsch back in top condition again and he is destined to get a call for one of the games with Udell Moore, overworked Steer, answering for the other. The Austin boys have not made such good showings as the spring grows older, and ex perts give A. & M. a better than even chance of passing them. If hustle and fight can do it, then, according to A. & M. coach Marty Karow, the Aggies will move into the number one place on the con ference statistician’s hit-parade. Game time Friday has been set for 3:30 o’clock, and the contest Saturday will get under way at 2:30. Both clubs will enter the fray at full strength and among those estimated 8,000 spectators will be A. & M. as represented by it’s mighty student body. * !
