Aggies, TCU, Fordham, Texas, and Rice
Picked to Come out on Top in Today’s Games
The conference teams had an easy time last week, but
the prospects of a cleanup today are slightly dark. In fact
it’s almost impossible as T. C. U. plays Arkansas in the first
conference game up in Fayetteville, and one of the two has
to give way.
We came out with a 1.000 average for last week, and
hope that the limb continues to hold strong. A peculiar thing
about our predictions of last Saturday . . . our scores for the
winning teams were only half right, meaning that three of
the victors finished the first half by the same margin that
we had predicted would exist at the end of the game. The
three teams were, A. & M., S. M. XL, and Baylor. This time,
however, we’ll double up.
Aggies Hope to Trample A&I Javelinas
A. & M.—A. & I The Aggies
exploded with a powerful attack
last week, and are due to follow
up with another one tonight. The
Javelinas' showed good form
against Tempe in their last game,
but do not have enough reserves
or power to cope with the cadets.
So it’s the Aggies by a 33-0 count.
T. C. U. - ARKANSAS ... As
customary, the first conference
game is again played between the
Hogs and the Frogs. The fact
that is being played in Fayette
ville should make this tilt a very
close one. Rated a tossup, but the
coin says T. C. U. by a 14-7 score.
S. M. U.—FORDHAM. ... The
toughest game of the day to pick.
The Rams are really out for re
venge after that Cotton Bowl set
back by A. & M. New Year’s day.
S. M. U. showed much power last
week but the fact that the game
is played in New York, should give
Fordham an incentive to win. We’ll
take the Rams, say, by a 12-7 score.
TEXAS - L. S. U. . . . The fact
that the Longhorns are one of the
strongest teams in the nation, and
the fact that L. S. U. suffered a
defeat at the hands of Holy Cross
last week, should give the Steers
a 26-7 win.
RICE - SAM HOUSTON ... The
Owls were surprised by the Bear-
kats a couple of years ago, but
that prospect is very dim tonight.
The Owls with lots to spare, 25-0.
In the other games over the
weekend . . . Notre Dame over In
diana by any margin they choose,
Stanford by a whisker over U. C.
L. A., Tennessee over Duke (a
good long shot), N. Y. U. over
Lafayette in a close one. Navy over
West Virginia, and Penn over Har
vard in a close tilt.
Sports Squibs From Here and There; Dick
Skarke Still Having Trouble With That Knee
Dick Skarke, one of the best
prospective blocking backs on the
team, is still having trouble with
that bruised knee .1 . . he should
be in top shape for the T. C. U.
game at any rate . . . DIDJA
KNOW . . . that the Aggies and
A. & I. first played in 1932, and
since then have met five times
with the Aggies winning four and
tying one . . . that the cadets play
their first Texas night game to
night in San Antonio . . . that in
the Aggie - A. & I. game last
year, there were three gentlemen
named Steinke, Smelley, and Pugh
. . . Whatta odor they must have
put up . . . Whew! . . . that T.C.U.
has had two undefeated and untied
teams in her football history—
1920 and 1938—and Dutch Meyer
had a part in both ... he played
end on the ’20 team, and coached
the ’38 champs.
U. S. Defense Plan
Began 82 Years Ago
Approximately 82 years ago, the
United States actually began prep
arations for defense against me
chanized warfare. It was no in
tentional undertaking, but when
Colonel Edwin L. Drake on August
27, 1859 brought in America’s first
commercially-drilled oil well, the
way actually was prepared for the
development by the United States
of the greatest defense armada of

To Win Saturday
Texas U Will Down
Louisiana State Today;
Rice Chosen Over SHSTC
By Paul B. Williamson
The Williamson System places
Texas A. & M. over Texas A. & L,
giving the Aggies a superiority
of over 12 percentage points.
Probably the greatest interse,c-
tional game of today is the fray
between the Mustangs of S. M. U.
and the Rams of Fordham in New
York. We will ride with the Mus
tangs.
The biggset games of the week
end are Duke vs. Tennessee, and
Pennsylvania vs. Harvard. Duke
and Tennessee are rated very close
ly but the System will pick Duke.
Harvard will take Penn.
The Marshall-Dayton clash will
be a humdinger and the game will
be very close. We take Marshall
to win. Alabama will beat Mis
sissippi State and will do better
than Georgetown did last week.
Yale will go down before the Vir
ginia Cavaliers.
Your rater picks Tulane to de
feat Auburn, his Alma Mater, in
a hard fought battle. In other big
Saturday games the System picks
T. C. U. over Arkansas, Cincin
nati over Boston university, Co
lumbia over Brown, Colgate over
Penn State, North Carolina over
Davidson, Wake Forest over Fur
man, Nebraska over Iowa State,
Washington of St. Louis over
Kansas, N. Y. U. over Lafayette
(by a shave), and Georgia over
South Carolina (but watch out!).
The Fighting Irish of Notre
Dame will take Indiana, and Pur
due is picked over Pittsburgh in
a close one. Continuing the Sat
urday games the System picks
Missouri over Colorado, Michigan
over Iowa, Northwestern over
Kansas State, Clemson over North
Carolina State, Navy over West
Virginia, Washington over Oregon

Oxford the intramural

is plenty of time between events

if a team is in a tight spot, and

Orchids of the week go to G Re-

“Water Duck” Burns, they played
by far the best game of water polo
that has been seen. Although they
tied with F Battery coast, the game
was one of the hardest fought
matches of the season. Goal keep
er Burks staved off seven attempts
of F Battery to score, and not
only that, the whole G Replacement
Center team showed hustle. Keep

Ernie Conway Elected
To Captain Swimmers
Coach Art Adamson’s swimmers
and water poloists met this week
and elected Ernie Conway, Gal
veston senior, to head the combin
ed teams this season which prom
ises to be one of the best in sev
eral years.
Ernie has been one of the main
stays on the water polo team for
the past two years and has held
down the tough job of being
goalie. So well did he do the job
that the Aggies lost but three
games in two years and those were
to athletic club teams in the
North, whose members have been
playing together for more time
than is allowed college perform
ers.
Since he has been guarding the
net, no water polo team in Texas
has got enough goals past him to
defeat the Aggies.
