Aggies, Owls, and Frogs to Win Today; Also
Taking Texas to Drub SMU in Feature Game
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 1.—We arrived in Little
Rock yesterday afternoon, with 4 the team taking a final
workout in the stadium before game time. Pass drills, Pork
ers plays, and blocking were stressed especially in the light
drill. The boys seem in good spirit and are quite confident
of the game.
However, the feature of the afternoon is the game be
tween the Texas Longhorns and the S. M. U. Mustangs being
played in Dallas before a capacity Jiome-coming crowd. This
one will tell the tale in more than one way. In other games
we have T. C. U. colliding with Baylor at Waco, and Rice
fighting it out with Centenary in Houston.
We hit nine predictions out of
11 last week, and hope to match
it today. The limb is slowly but
surely cracking, and today may be
the gloomy day.
A. & M.-ARKANSAS ... Ar
kansas has shown a lot of scoring
punch in its games and may give
the Aggies some trouble. How
ever, with the reserve power
Coach Homer Norton has, it looks
like the Ags in another runaway,
say, 28-0.
TEXAS-S.M.U* . . At the start
of the season, we thought that if
Texas were to be upset before
Thanksgiving, S. M. U. would do
it. But after that Rice debacle,
we kinda doubt it. Even with the
game being played in Dallas with
a homecoming crowd and the fact
that the Longhorns have never
In other games, it’s Tenessee over
L. S. U. in a close one, Tulane
bouncing back against Vanderbilt,
Missouri over Penn State, Penn
to hand Navy its first defeat,
Stanford in a squeeze over Santa
Clara, Notre Dame over Army
(possible upset for the Cadets here)
by a whisker, Fordham to continue
undefeated against Purdue, Wash
ington State to pull another upset
against Oregon, Ohio State over
Pittsburgh, Mississippi over Mar
quette by a couple of touchdowns,
beaten the Mustangs under Matty
Bell, we’ll still take the Steers.
The old adage, “there’s always u
first time,” should prove true to
day. It’s the Longhorns by a 20-7
count.
BAYLOR-T.C.U. . . . Here is a
battle of crips. Both teams are in
a terrible shape, and it wouldn’t
surprise us if both of them run
out of players before the game
ended. Both have been beaten by
the Ags, but the Frogs showed
a far better line than did the
Bears, and, on that account we’re
giving T. C. U. the long end of a
7-0 score.
RICE-CENTENARY . . . Both
are teams that fell by the way-
side, but if Rice loses this' one,
they’re absolutely through for the
season . It’s the Owls by a 27-0
score.

Texas Five-to-One
Choice Over Aggies
-Rice Owls Predict
Houston Paper Survey
Reveals That Students
Disregard Turkeyday Jinx
Texas U. is a five to one
shot over the Aggies Thanks
giving day according to a sur
vey made at Rice Institute by
the Inquiring Reporter of the
Houston Press. “Only one per
son out of six asked liked the
Aggies as the stronger club,”
said the article.
One of the students inter
viewed gave as his reason for
picking Texas the fact that he
“just didn’t see how any team
could be better.” Another said
that if Texas could beat Rice
by forty points they can cer
tainly beat A. & M. The boys
from the Institute even went
so far as to accuse the Aggies
of being “post champions this
year, and coasting on their
laurels.” The fact that the
Texas team has been getting
ready for the Turkey Day
game for a long time seemed
to impress another Rice man.
One of the Aggie supporters
simply said of the A. & M.
team, “They’re determined to
live down last year’s defeat.”
Injured Polo
Team Encounters
Undefeated NMMI
Still handicaped by injuries, the
Aggie polo quartet will meet a
strong NMMI squad on the A. &
M. field Saturday morning at 10
and Sunday afternoon at 2:30.
Boasting much same squad as
their powerful aggregation which
defeated the Aggies three times
last year, the NMMI boys will be
out to continue their unbeaten rec
ord. Still without the services
of their stellar No. 3, Bill Braid,
the Aggies will be striving to even
up the score with NMMI and main
tain an unbeaten record on their
new field.
Captain Carl Maloney will prob
ably be ready to go at least part
time after being out of last Sun
day’s game with an injured shoul
der. Aggie substitutes showed
surprising strength last Sunday in
beating a Shreveport team nine to
six. These same men will be ready
to do service Saturday and Sun
day in backing up the weakened
varsity.
Probable starting lineup for the
Aggies in Saturday’s game will be
Norris McGowen at No. 1, one
of the scoring stars of last Sun
day’s game; Captain Carl Maloney
at No. 2; Lee Rice at No. 3, re
placing Braid; and last week’s
spark plug, Walt Hart, at No. 4,
T. A. William and Jack Buie, two
of last Sunday’s outstanding stais,
will probably see a lot of service
in addition to other letter and
squadmen.
The NMMI team is coached by
Lt. Col. E. G. Cullum, Cavalry,
one of the outstanding authorities
on polo in the Army and is ac
companied by Capt. T. B. Stapp,
assistant coach. Little is known
of their present record for this
year, but the fact that practically
their entire powerful starting line
up of last year will be on the fir
ing line is sufficient to give the
Aggies plenty of trouble.
Probable starting lineup will be
R. B. Jowell at No. 1; C. Harris at
No. 2; J. R. Ufffer at No. 3; and W.

Stellar Aggie Blocking Back
'Willie “Zapalaa
A triple threat man who can smash the line or skirt the ends when
he carries the ball is Willie Zapalac. Zapalac, who holds down a
blocking back position, will see much service in the game today.

Texas State Water
Polo League To Be
Formed This Fall
Fans who like their sports rough
and tough will have a chance to
see some top notch water polo
games this winter as Art Adamson,
A. & M. Swimming Coach and in
ternationally reknowned water pol-
oist has announced the formation
of the Texas State Water Polo
League with teams from A. & M.,
Texas university, Houston Y. M.
C. A., and Galveston Junior Cham
ber of Commerce entered.
The first game will be played
Saturday night when the Aggie en
try takes on the Galveston nators
in Galveston. The following Sat
urday night they will play at Col
lege Station and the following ween
it is hoped that the Houston team
will have rounded into shape so
that they can meet the Longhorn
entry.
Texas university is entering wa
ter polo competition for the first
time this yar. In the past they
have played the Aggies some games
but it was a sort of off-the record
play since Tex Robertson made
no pretense of turning out a finish
ed team in that sport at the uni
versity. This year he has a team,
and Adamson says he will have
trouble with the Longhorns from
now on. In the past Aggie teams
never have lost to them in the
rough sport.
Adamson is anxious to have en
tries from Dallas, San Antonio,
I ort Worth, and Waco and would
like to round out an eight-team
league. Plans call for each team
to play a round-robin of two games
each.
Swimmers interested in forming
a team to represent their cities or
clubs should write Coach Art Ad
amson at College Station.
Work is progressing rapidly on
an $80,000 ROTC armory build
ing at South Dakota State col
lege.
Williamson Picks Aggies,
Longhorns, Frogs to Win
By Paul B. Williamson
Rolling merrily along in third
place this week, in the William
son System, the Texas Aggies
should prove to be much more than
a match for the Arkansas Razor-
backs when they clash in Little
Rock today.
Top game of the Southwest and
possibly the nation is the impend
ing battle between Texas’ unbeat
en Longhorns and the powerful
Mustangs of S. M. U. Texas
should take this one, but it might
be close.
Another feature attraction in
volves those Golden Gophers of
Minnesota, again. After the bat
tering they received last week in
downing Michigan, can they stop
Northwestern’s rampaging Wild
cats? We’ll string along with the
System and Minnesota.
Notre Dame should come through
against the Army Mules accord
ing to the System, but you can
never tell what those Cadets are
liable to do in this one. This is
one of those grudge affairs and
may be a thriller all the way.
As advertised by the Williamson
System the games last week in
cluded an unusually large num
ber of close contests. The excep
tional toll of upsets the past Week
end verified the wisdom of that
forecast.
This week, thank goodness,
there doesn’t seem
to be as many
toss-ups. As a
result the con-
tests today should
run fairly true
to form.
The predictions
for today’s
games are listed
below, with the
probable winner in capitals.
