L. “Slim” Inzer Battalion Sports Editor Southwest Race More Jumbled Than Ever The Southwest Conference foot ball race is more jumbled up than ever after Saturday’s results have been considered, but it appears at this point that T. C. U. has the in side track. The Christians by vir tue of their 7-6 win over Texas now need to win only one of their two remaining 1 conference games to clinch the crown. The present standings have Texas Christian in first place with two wins, no losses, and one tie.

S. M. U. is in the cellar. If the Frogs drop their two final tilts, then the winner of the Aggie-Tex- as game will share the honors with Rice for the crown. Saturday’s results show two up sets which is nothing unusual in the conference this year. The Ag gies were the only team to come through as expected, while the Frogs and Mustangs furnished the upsets. Texas was helpless without their star passer Bobby Layne. who played only a small part of the final period. The muddy field did not help the Steer’s passing game much either. S. M. U. knocked Arkansas out of a possible bid for the champion ship when they whipped the Raz- orbacks 20-12 before only 500 fans in Dallas. The Mustangs must have feilded and entirely different team from the one which was slaughter ed by the Aggie last week, for they completed outplayed the Hogs. It seems very likely that the conference winner will not be de cided until the final game of the season is played, and there is a slight chance that co-champions will then be crowned. Aggie Band Halts Gangfight That incident which occured during the halftime intermission at the A. & M.-Rice game has caused nearly as much comment around the state as the game it self did. However, this was merely the climax to several happenings which took place in the city of Houston during the past week-end. To start it off, Friday morning a flag with the words, “Beat The icustomary word here) Out of Rice was found flying from the Rice Insti. flagpole. Some excuse can be offered for this since sim ilar flags have been put on the Aggie campus by Rice students in the past. Friday afternoon while the team was working out at Rice Stadium, someone broke into the dressing room and took the wool uniform belonging to “Sleepy” League, Ag gie guard, and Saturday morning this uniform was found flying from the Rice flagpole. Then Saturday afternoon, the Rice students had an Aggie sign, no one seems definite as to whether it was taken from the Rice Hotel or the A. & M. campus, and were exhibiting it while the Aggie band was performing at the half.

The Conference this year will be held in Austin, with General Head quarters in the Driskill Hotel. , General Conference themes this year will be “Mental Hygiene in Everyday Living, and Developing a Mental Hygiene Charter for Tex as.” Because the 49th Texas Legis lature will be in session at the time of the Conference, a shortage of hotel space is anticipated. Therefore, you are asked to stay with friends in Austin, if possible, or to reserve hotel space in groups of threes and fours. Single rooms will not be available. —AGGIE— Continued from Page 1 perience greatly aided the com pletion of the fields in the Great Western Desert of Africa from which the Liberators flew to bomb the Ploesti oil fields in their first great daring raid; and which helped pound out the Italian surrender and the quick victory in Sicily. When his company barged ashore in Italy last year, the rain and mud were proving to be a more formidable foe than the Luftwaffe. Although the elements had slowed down the assault to a crawl, the captain’s company of Aviation En gineers kept their bulldozers and scrapers working around the clock to give the Air Force good all- weather bases, which they have used to hammer South Germany and the Balkans. With the great assault launched in May, followed by the fall of Rome, Captain Lillie’s men were among the first to enter the “Eternal City”. They did not linger, but continued the chase of the Huns up the Italian boot. Planes were able to land in what had been only farmlands in German hands one or two days before.

The A. & M. student body should be complimented on their action during the game. Not once did they yell while Rice was calling signals, and doubtless made many new friends by this action. LOUPOT’S A Little Place - - - - - - A Big Saving! Intramural play was resumed this week after Jupiter Pluvius de cided to call it quits. The football fields were still muddy as a result of the rather consistent “Califor nia dew,” yet there were an even 70 points scored in the three foot ball games played yesterday. The best, closest, most interest ing and by far the roughest game was the D Troop-C Battery slam bang. C Battery managed to eke out a 12-7 win on a hideout play. The batterymen, operating off the popular “T”, were the first to draw blood. They failed to convert on two tries. The cavalrymen were slow getting started, but When they did get going in the second half, it was next to impossible to stop them. Fish Hardy led D Troop’s run ning attack, which took them all the way to the three yard marker before they were stopped. Later on, Scott of C Battery caught a pass on a hideout play, and the goal line was crossed for an addi tional six points. D Troop’s run ning attack began to function again, but it was a change in strat egy which brought them their score. K. Haines scored a direct hit on Teal Singletary, who went across the last white line un touched. Fish Hardy split the up rights with plenty to spare, mak ing the final score 12-7. A Company poured it on an overwhelmed H Company by a 25-6 margin. A Company had the game under control all the way, allowing but one 20-yard penetra tion, and that was when H Com pany scored their touchdown. A Company penetrated five times, and failed to score but once on these occasions. B Company triumphed over G Company, 13-7 in a league C foot ball game. G Company used an iron man team, all their nine play ers going the full time. F Battery played D Company what was, without a doubt, the most thrilling basketball game thus far. solidated School as early as pos sible, so that each entry can be given a number and place in the show circle. The dog and pet show has, for the past few years drawn several hundred entries and has been one of the outstanding activities of the Mothers Club of the Consolidated School. Entries have ranged from dogs and cats and horses to skunks and alligators. Any pet is acceptable, any child or adult is eligible to enter an animal. All proceeds from the show will be used in improvement of the school, it has been announced. This league B game ended with the score 18-17 in favor of the batterymen. Bell led the winners with 10 points. Beerwinkle and Hanson filled out the rest of the score with four apiece. J. Hender son paced the victims with five points. This leaves F Battery un defeated, and if they win their game against B Company on De cember 11, they will win their league crown. A Battery literally slaughtered the Band, 26-13. This was a clean, hard fought game in which only one foul was committed. Longuist of A Battery set a new season scoring mark, leading the victors with 12 points. This tops Milton Cherno’s total of 10 points in one game. Mungerson was outstanding for the losers. Then along comes F Company, led by Fish Kenneth Abrams, and takes the Band to the cleaners again, this time by a score of 17-8. Abrams was the high scorer of the game with 8 points. Broun and LaRoche scored all the points for the vanquished; Broun sinking six. Armstrong scored four points for the winners.

The score was 19-6, and the win left the Cadets with a slim chance of gaining a tie for the conference crown. It was A. & M. all of the way Saturday as the Aggies held the Owls and their much publicized George Walmsley in check for the first three periods and lessened the pressure only after the game had been iced away with three touchdowns. The Cadets scored their first marker early in the second period after threatening in the opening quarter. After passes had moved the ball down to the 14 yard line, Paul Yates took out around his own right end and ran over every body who got in his way to go over standing up for the score. Norton Higgins failed on the at tempted conversion. A. & M. scored again a little Cub Scouts, Pack 102 Will Meet Thursday Night Pack 102 of the College Station Cub Scouts will hold its regular monthly meeting Thursday evening at 7:30. F. H. Yamell, chairman of the cub scout committee said that the meeting would be held in the gymnasium of Consolidated High School. —DANCE— Continued from Page 1 biggest dance held, on the campus all year and Miss Dorothy Ann Ol son, Director of the Texas Union, urged that as many of the cadet corps as possible be present. The dance is a traditional affair, being held each year on the eve of the annual Thanksgiving game between the Longhorns and the Aggies. As yet the ticket price and the starting time of the dance are not known but they will be announced in the near future. -later in the same period, this time passes eating up most of the ground. Starting on their own 39 yard line, the Cadets moved to a score in just five plays. Tom Dan iel entered the game in place of Jimmy Cashion, and on the first play attempted to pass but ran for eleven yards and a first down. He then completed two passes, one to Greer for 23 yards and the other to Mann Scott for a first down on the Rice six. After the first string backfield had reentered the game, Yates made one yard at center and Cashion passed to Cotton Howell who was standing in the end zone. Art Abraham’s kick was no good. The final Aggie score came early in the fourth quarter;' after Bobby Goff’s beautiful punt was allowed to die on the Rice three yard line. On the first play, Monte Moncrief recovered a fumble by Carl Russ on the six inch line, and Jim Cashion went over for the marker on a quarterback sneak. This time Abraham’s kick was good. Rice gained their only score about the middle of the period when Bill Scruggs passd to Bob Smith for 56 yards and the score. Higgins blocked the attempted conversion. After their performance Satur day, it seems as if the Cadets are cured of their early season case of fumblitis which cost them two con- ferece games. They were holding on the ball in fine fashion Sat urday, as only one fumble was committed by the Aggies.

They really did a good job of yelling, loud yelling, but not even once did the game officials have to caution them about yelling while either team was trying to get its signals. Loupot is just a friend of the Aggies and he has been for them all the way but after the game in Houston he was glad to go around telling everyone that he was proud of the men from A. & M.
