Aggies, Mustangs, Bears, Longhorns, And
Frogs to Win; Rice Picked in Upset of the Day
The Texas Aggies take on the N. Y. U. Violets this
afternoon in a feature of four intersectional tilts, one classic
engagement, and a conference game. Again, we want to men
tion the fact that the game will be broadcast over N.B.C.
at 1 o’clock.
So far in the year, we’ve hit the 1.000 mark as far as
picking teams is concerned, but this week looks slightly
gloomy for all prognosticators. For two weeks, upsets have
been as infrequent as society women at Uncle Ed’s, but there
is something in the air today. So here goes at nothing.
A. & M. - N. Y. U. . . The Vio
lets looked might ragged in their
6-0 win over Lafayette last week,
and do not seem to have enough
power to withstand anything the
cadets have to offer. This one
should go to Coach Homer Norton's
boys, 21-0, to say the least.
RICE-TULANE . . . Any sensi
ble and orthodox person would
unhesitatingly pick the Greenies by
some 25 points, but in this case
the writer will be very unorthodox.
Yes, we’ll pick the Rice Owls in
the biggest upset of the day. Don’t
forget, Rice is supposed to be one
of the powers in this conference,
and even if they did look ragged
in beating Sam Houston last week,
we feel certain that Coach Jess
Neely will have his charges pre
pared for any eventuality. So
when the final gun barks the score
will read, RICE 19, TULANE 13.
TEXAS - OKLAHOMA ....
Here’s another good long shot to
take and make suckers out of the
“smart” boys. However, we won’t
bite this time. The Longhorns
are too strong and have too much
at stake to suffer a setback. Okla
homa showed an inconsistent at
tack in beating Oklahoma A. & M.,
but may be ready for Texas. Any
way it’s the Longhorns by a 20-7
score.
T.C.U. — INDIANA. . . . Coach
Dutch Meyer’s boys have shown
the best defense in the conference
and should take the Hoosiers in
stride. However, watch for a close
game, as Indiana looked promis-

BAYLOR-ARKANSAS ... The
Razorbacks disappointed many of
their fans last week against T. C.

Aggies After Third Win Against NYU
Cadets Due To
Fire Aerials At
Violets in Came
By Mike Mann
Senior Sports Assistant
With two games already under
their belts, the Texas Aggies will
be seeking their third victory when
they meet the New York Uni
versity Violets this afternoon at
one o’clock (C.S.T.) in Yankee
Stadium. The game will be
broadcast over the NBC, TQN, and
MBS through the sponsorship of
the Humble Oil and Refining
Company.
The Aggies arrived in New
York Friday morning and held a
light drill at Yankee Stadium that
afternoon. The A. & M. squad had
two workouts enroute to New York;
stopping in Vincennes, Indiana, on
Wednesday and in Washington on
Thursday for a workout on the
Washington Redskin Field. A sight
seeing tour of the capital was in
cluded in the Thursday stopover.
Passing Attack
A barrage of passes can be ex
pected from the Aggies in to
day’s game since aerials clicked
so well last week against Texas
A. & I. The Aggies completed 21
out of 41 passes against the Jave-
linas for a net gain of 305 yards.
Five out of six of the Aggie touch
downs were the result of forward
passes.
The Violets have played only
two games and, like the Aggies,
have won both of them; defeating
Pennsylvania Military College in
the season opener with a score of
25 to 6 and taking Lafayette Col
lege last week by a 6-0 count.
Coached by Marvin A. “Mai” Ste
vens, the Violets have . won 31
games, lost 27, and tied two since
that mentor took his post there
in 1934. The records show that
N.Y.U. won two games, and lost
seven last year.
Since Coach Stevens is expecting
the Aggies to open up with a flock
of passes, he has been drilling
his team in a defense against
passes.
Same Lineup
The lineup used by the Aggies
in the past two games will prob
ably be used again today against
the Violets. Moser will be in the
tailback position and do most of
the aerial work for the Aggies
while Spivey will be calling sig
nals and going out for passes. In
cidentally, Spivey is tied with Hen
derson for the Southwest Confer
ence lead in pass receiving. Willie
Zapalac and Jake Webster will
round out the Aggie back-
field. Webster’s educated toe
has placed the ball between the
uprights for points after touch
down seven times out of eight at
tempts.
This starting backfield is sup -
ported by no less than six fine
backs who have shown their merits
in both of the Aggie games to
date. This supporting hjackfield
consists of Daniels, B. Williams,
Pickett, Rogers, Andricks, and An
drews, most of whom will prob
ably see service today.
Aggie Forward Wall
The probable starting line-up
for the Aggie front wall will be
Sterling and Henderson, ends;

Williamson Picks Aggies To
Defeat NYU Violets Today
Texas Longhorns Also Picked to Down
Oklahoma Sooners In Epic Battle at Dallas
By Paul B. Williamson
The great battle of the week-end
will be down in Dallas, Texas,
where the Oklahoma University
Sooners meet the Texas Univer
sity Longhorns. Lots of other
tough games are scheduled for
gridirons over the country but this
classic of the cow country is where
the most fur will fly. The Sys
tem rates the Longhorns 3.7 per
centage points better than the
Sooners. So we will ride with the
ratings and pick Texas in a hard-
fought match.
In other outstanding clashes the
System picks Clemson over Bos
ton College, Texas Christian over
Indiana. Texas A. & M. over New
York U., Vanderbilt over Kentucky,
Wake Forest over South Carolina,
Florida over Villanova, Southern
California over Oregon, and Wash
ington State over Washington U.
The Williamson System reverses
its ratings for the first time fn
many a moon to pick Colgate over
Dartmouth. The “Kay-dets” of
Army will have to go some to
overcome V. M. I., the “West Point
of the South.”
Santa Clara will win over Cali
fornia and Notre Dame should win
easily from Georgia Tech; but
