Fish to Play Camp Hood

Aggies to Triumph, 7-0; Also Picking
Texas University and Baylor Games Today
The feature of the conference this afternoon is, of
course, in our own back yard—namely the A.&M.-T.C.U. bat
tle on Kyle Field. Experts regard this melee as an adequate
indicator as to who will wear the Southwest Conference
crown come December.
While all this is going on, there are two other battles
taking place this afternoon. Texas university travels all
the way to Little Rock to meet the-f-
down-trodden Arkansas Razorbacks
who are still seeking their first
conference victory in 12 starts.
Baylor travels to Lubbock to meet
the Texas Tech Raiders.
Well, here I go again sticking my
neck out on these conference
games. At least it doesn’t cost any
thing to prognosticate these tilts,
so here we go!
Texas A&M 7, TCU 0—The bat
tle of the year. TCU’s Emery Nix
versus A&M’s Lightnin’ Leo Dan
iels in what should be one of the
finest passing duels of the year.
The Frogs’ running game has been
the main feature of Coach Dutch
Meyer’s charges, but after., the
splendid defensive exhibition by
the.. Aggie., line against Corpus
Christi last week, I figure a sweet
win for Coach Homer Norton’s
victory-hungry Cadets! Anyway,
TCU is favored and that’s a dis
advantage that is hard to over
come!

ANSAS 0—If somebody was nuts
and wanted to make a good sucker
out of the bookies, here would be
a chance to pick the biggest upet
of the year. I’ve got a hunch that

College and Bryan
those Razorbacks of Arkansas Uni
versity are going to be ready for
Texas, who looked ragged in their
game with OU last week. The fact
that the game is going to be played
at Little Rock, where the Aggies
almost met their Waterloo a year
ago, isn’t going to do the Long
horns any good. However inspired
the Porkers may be, though, I just
can’t figure on a victory for George
Cole’s lads. They haven’t shown
any semblance of scoring punch in
their three games and it’s a bet
that they won’t start today. It’s
Texas University by two touch
downs, but I’m keeping my fingers
crossed.
BAYLOR 20, TEXAS TECH 6—
The Bears are heavy favorites to
cop this tilt, so according to dope
so far they should lose. They have
yet to do what experts expect them
to do. However, after viewing the
Raiders weak offensive against the
Aggies a few weeks ago, I can’t
see how Baylor will lose. Give the
Bears a two-touchdown nod.
Other Picks of the Day;
Taking Michigan U Over
Northwestern Wildcats
Here’s a flock of games over
the nation: Michigan over North
western in a close tilt, Iowa Navy
over Notre Dame by a couple of
touchdowns, Illinois over Iowa in
a squeeze (close enough for a tie),
Ohio State over Purdue despite
the latter’s 7-6 upset win over
Northwestern last week, Wiscon
sin to upset Great Lakes Naval
Base (our long shot of the day),
Alabama to continue undefeated
at the expense of Tennessee, Geor
gia Tech over Davidson, Minnesota
to get back in its winning ways
against Nebraska (I hope!), UCLA
over California but don’t bet on
that one, Oklahoma over Kansas,
Iowa State over Drake, Georgia
over Tulane (this is the Greenies’
“out” week since they were “in”
last Saturday against Rice), Miss
issippi to pull the unexpected
against LSU, Mississippi State
over Vanderbuilt (Another sur
prise), Missouri over Kansas State
(I’ll hit that one if nothing else),
Washington State over Southern
Cal and Santa Clara over Oregon
State.

The Texas Aggie freshman foot
ball squad will play their second
game of the season as they meet
the 368th Tank Destroyer Battalion
team Wednesday at 3 p. m. on
Kyle Field. The visiting team is
part of the contingent stationed
at Camp Hood which is at Killeen,
Texas. Their team is coached by
Lt. Severn Stargynski, and very
little is known of the material on
their team. It is quite possible
that some Aggies are playing on
the team, since there are a number
stationed at Camp Hood. Capt. J.
W. (Dough) Rollins, great ex-Ag-
gie coach is stationed there and
would be eligible to play if he so
desired.
The Aggie Fish looked good in
their 25-8 triumph over the Allen
Academy team Wednesday. Coach
Lil Dimmitt was well satisfied with
the team’s showing, and praised
Marion Flanagan and Buryi Baty’s
playing. Flanagan scored all the
touchdowns, one was by a pass
from Baty and one on a 95-yard
kickoff return. Baty’s brilliant
passing sparked three of the
touchdowns. Standouts of the line
for the Fish were Ernest Genth-
ner, end, and George Strohmeyer.

Dean Kyle Receives
Readoption of Text
Dean Kyle went before the State
Textbook Commission in Austin
Monday and received a two year
readoption of his elementary text
on Agriculture, “Fundamentals of
Farming and Farm Life.” This-
text is used in the sixth and sev
enth grades in the public schools.
It was first adopted in 1912, and,
therefore has been in use by public
schools for thirty years.
The book is published by Charles
Scribners’ Sons and there have
been close to 250,000 copies used
in Texas.
The Great Lakes “Hoodoo Ship”,
wrecked tanker J. Oswald Boyd,
has gone to scrap.
°}l r illie "Zapalac
The former Belville high school scoring ace hasn’t gone in so much
for making touchdowns at Aggieland but he has been repsonsible
for clearing many a path to that promised land on the gridiron.
Unheralded and overlooked in most pre-season All-Conference se
lections, Zapalac has proven to be one of the standouts on the Aggie
team. Today the Aggies hope to get back on that comeback trail
when they clash against the undefeated, untied TCU Horned Frogs,
and if they accomplish that tedious task, you can bet your life
that Zapalac will have had played an important cog in the deed.
The Frogs are in for plenty of headaches when they encounter the
hard-hitting Aggie blocker!

TCU Scribe Gives
Froggies Edge In
Today’s Big Fracas
By Ruth Ridings (TCU)
We Horned Frogs are sticklers
for figures (we’re referring to sta
tistics, at the moment, Aggies.) So
before making any predictions as
to the final score of today’s grid
battle between the Texas Christian
Horned Frogs and the Texas Ag
gies, let’s take a look at the sea
son’s standings of the two teams
to date.
Both the Horned Frogs and the
Aggies have played three games
so far this season. The Horned
Frogs (ahem) won all of theirs.
Thus T. C. U. has a percentage of
1.000. The aggies managed to win
one of their games, giving A. & M.
a percentage of .333. (Tack a 1/3
onto that if you want to be tech
nical.)
If you want some more static-
tics we can dish ’em out. The
T. C. U. team managed to score
a total of 61 points in their three
games. The opponents’ scores to
tal 18.
As for the A. & M. team, they
scored a total of 33 points in their
three games. The opponents’ total
is 34.
So, on the basis of those figures
given above, this writer picks the
Texas Christian Horned Frogs to
beat the Aggies today.
Not on the basis of statistics
alone do we pick the Froggies to
win, though. There’s that matter
of T. C. U.’s having more than its
share of good players this year.
Emery Nix, Dean Bagley, and
Beacher “Beachnut” Montgomery
are all standouts in the quarter
back position. And judging from
Beachnut’s showing against the
K. U. Jayhawks last Saturday, he’s
one player the Aggies had better
watch.
We could go on naming good
Horned Frog players. There’s
Drummond (Smokey) Slover, at
right end, and Co-captain Derrell
Palmer, the Horned Frogs’ gift to
All-American (I betcha), at right
tackle. And on and on into the
night.
If the Horned Frogs do win the
game today, and I’m predicting
A 7-7 Deadlock
Is Predicted By
Baylor U Writer
By Bill Duncan
(Baylor University)
“To be or not to be” champions
of the Southwest Conference is the
question to be decided for the TCU
Horned Frogs today when they
meet the Texas Aggies on Kyle
Field. (Whatever the outcome, it
is sure to find the Baylor Bears
at the bottom of the list—Inserted
by a jealous Aggie.)
From the professional sports-
writers’ point of view the Frogs
are slated to win, but that goes
without saying. Texas Christian,
up to date, stands at the top of
the conference list, but for the
past two days I have been observ
ing the real “Spirit of Aggieland.”
That spirit may mean the game.
I have probably led you to be
lieve that the winner of today’s
game will be Southwest Conference
champions. I didn’t, but if you
think I did I’ll contradict myself.
If the Aggies win today, I predict
the Baylor Bears to be champions.
But if the Frogs win, Baylor will
take her place as second in the
conference.
I predict the game today will be
a tie, A. & M. 7, TCU Horned
Frogs, 7.

college in the United States.
they will, I’m willing to take on
all bets that T. C. U. will win the
Southwest Conference this season.
Today’s score? I’m not saying.
But I do say that the T. C. U.
Horned Frogs will take the Texas
Aggies by at least one touchdown.
