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 Williamson Picks A & M, TCU, SMU 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 (See WILLIAMSON, Page 4) BATTALIONS— San Antonio Ready to Receive 36 Players and 2,000 of Cadet Corps (Continued from Page 1) spot, Gilbert Steinke at blocking OCTOBER 4, 1941 Page 3 airplanes, warships, tanks, trucks, and other vehicles that the world ever has seen. The output of Colonel Drake’s 6914-foot oil well near Titusville, Pa., was small, and the crude oil produced was refined in a small way by slow, inefficient methods.

Webster FB Price man to watch tonight. As a blocking back last year, Vargo gained a place on the all-confer ence eleven, and with Coach Mc- Oallum experimenting with the “T” formation frequently, he should have many additional duties. Game Time at 8:00 The game is slated to start at 8 o’clock, with a full crowd ex pected to attend. Last year, the Aggies inaugurated the new Alamo Stadium ' when they drubbed the Tulsa Hurricane 41-6 before a jammed up attendance. Officials for tonight’s fray in clude: Warren Davis (Southwest ern), referee; Jesse C. Kellam (San Marcos), umpire; Eddie Dyer darnels Leo “Lightning” Daniels, one of the best prospective sophomore backs on the Aggie team, is expected to see plenty of service against the A. & I. Javelinas in San Antonio tonight. He alternates at the tailback spot with Derace Moser. INTRAMDRALS By DUB OXFORD Membership in the forfeit dog house is decreasing. Today there are only two teams that are in “house” for failure to have a team on hand at the scheduled time. Texas A. & M. has the largest intramural ath letic participation of any school in the United States and there should not be any for feits. The way Oxford the intramural program has been arranged there is plenty of time between events for an organization to have a team ready for the next event. And if a team is in a tight spot, and has a good reason the game may be postponed. That is one of the fair est situations that I can think of. So lets' keep those forfeits down. If you don’t want to play a game don’t enter it.

Sparked by “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 your eyes on these boys.

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.
