Aggies to Nip Frogs 14-7; Also Picking Texas, Rice, and SMU to Win Tilts Today This afternoon one of the most extensive SW conference schedules gets under way. Two conference games and a couple of intersectional tilts are on the menu today. The conference will have a grand chance to add prestige to its already respectable record when Rice and S. M. U. take on L. S. U. and Auburn respectively. As for the conference games, the Texas Aggies match wits with the T. C. U. Horned Frogs in what should turn out to be a whale of a battle, and Texas faces Arkansas in Austin. We’re still batting 1.000 in con ference games, but may break that ole limb today. Anyway, we’ll try not to, so here goes. A. & M. - T. C. U The high est scoring team in the nation •versus one of the best defensive teams in the country. Whatta bat tle that should turn out to be. However, they tell us that a good offense is the best defense, and it seems that the Aggies have enough of both to take home the bacon. The coin says Aggies by a 14-7 count. TEXAS-ARKANSAS . . . Even if Layden doesn’t get to play we can’t see anything but a slaughter in this one. Texas should breeze, 39-7. RICE-L. S. U. . . . Here’s a good i BEAT T. C. U. BUT YOU CAN’T BEAT 1 Us For A Swell Place To Eat And Drink MADELEY PHARMACY i Across from PH-1 Ph. 4-4144 one for someone to make suckers out of the “Smart” boys. Rice had its peak against Tulane last week, and is due for some sort of a a letdown. We would pick an up set here if Rice were playing any one but L. S. U. The Tigers just don’t seem to have any scoring punch, and teams without scoring punch can’t win ball games. Even if Brumley might be on the side lines, it’s the Owls by a 13-0 count. S. M. U. - AUBURN ... The Mustangs are still one of the strongest teams in the Southwest Conference, and this is just not the stopping place for them. Spot any number of points you want on Auburn, and we’ll still take S. M. U. Score 26-0. Other good games to take in clude Northwestern over Michigan by a whisker (and we do mean a whisker), Duke over Colgate by 19, Navy over Cornell by 7, Ford- ham over West Virginia by 30, Ne braska over Indiana, Washington State over Southern California in a mild upset, Washington over U. C. L. A., Georgia over Columbia, Dartmouth over Harvard by 13, and Alabama over Tennessee by 6 or less. SPORTS SQUIBS FROM HERE AND THERE Harry Ferguson, U. P. sports editor, who saw last week’s game between A. & M. and N. Y. U. writes: “First prospective All- American seen by this department in 1941 is Derace Moser, Texas Aggie tailback . . . Moser runs, passes, and kicks . . . his only flaw is that he has not learned to car ry the water bucket without spill ing a few drops” ...
