Bryan, Texas
The Aggies are riding deep in
the second-place slot in Southwest
Conference standings, and have
only four games left on the 1946
schedule, three of them against
the Steers. Texas has eight games
left to play and has already beat
en every team in the Conference
except the Aggies.
The Cadets would have to win at
least two of its games with Texas
to retain even a mathematical pos
sibility of winning the Conference
flag, while the least remote chance
appears to hinge upon three wins
from the Longhorns coupled with
another Texas loss, say to T. C.
U. at Fort Worth, which would
result in a tie if the Aggies won
its remaining game against S. M.
U.
On the principle that a slim
chance is better than none. Coach
Lil Dimmitt is expected to send
his ace pitcher, Earl “Kid” Bees-
ley, to the mound tomorrow and
to present his strongest patting
arrangement to the Steers, prob
ably in about the same order that
started against the Rice Owls
last Tuesday. Bobby Layne, top-
ranking pitcher of the Steer staff,
is reported to be suffering from a
bruised ankle received Monday
night in an automobile accident
and may not be in shape to start
for Texas.
