JOHNSON First Track Meet In Norman Oct. 7 With the first cross county meet scheduled for Oct. 7th at Norman, Okla. Head Track Coach F. G. An derson and his assistant, Ray Put nam, are running their thinly clads through the daily routine paces in preparation for the five scheduled meets and the Southwest Confer ence meet at Rice Institute in Nov ember. In the past years North Texas State College, University of Texas, and University of Oklahoma have been the strongest contenders with Arkansas University and the other Conference schools trailing. The team includes such men as: Webster Stone, the first man to come in for the Aggies in last years’ conference meet, John D. Hampton, champion in 1944; and William Terrell, 1944 champion in the two mile. Other men with po tentialities are: John Cheatam, John Hargis, Nathan Byrd, “DD” Williamson, letter man in the half mile last spring; Charles H o h n, William Garney, Delbert Shultz, Robert Allen, George Jenk ins, and Jerry Bonnen.

Coach NTSC Champs Will Have to Be Tough The opening game Saturday is the curtain raiser on what appears to be one of the greatest football years in the history of the confer ence, and the winner this year will be a real CHAMPION. From all pre-season dope available it ap pears that NO team will come through with an untarnished rec ord, but the champs should still rate a position among the first ten teams in the nation. At present all the sports writers in the state have put the finger on Dana X. Bible to bring in another championship cup, but to do this he has to eliminate the other six teams in the conference, and there will be no “soft-touches” this year as there have been dur ing the war. Only One Light Game On Schedule Odus Mitchell Head Coach NTSC Starting Line-ups The game this week is the only light one of the year, and Coach Norton is planning to use the maximum of players Saturday aft ernoon in the skirmish with the Eagles. After this one Saturday the Farmers are going to have some hard plowing throuhout the remainder of the season, and and some of the plowing may be in hard ground. In fact it will be I some of the hardest ground in Ml Texas. This one Saturday should | be a soft touch, but this is the last' one on the schedule as the con ference schools are stronger this (1 year than at any previous time. So I come on Aggies, let’s start out on lj| this one and make it good. NTSC NO. POSITION NO.

All the conference teams but Rice and SMU open their schedule Saturday afternoon with non-con ference teams and all of these schools with the exception of T.C.U. should bring home a win ner. T. C. U. could beat Kansas at that. With my eyes on the crystal ball, and my brain on a vacation I may have to take: the Aggies over NTSC by five touchdowns, Arkansas over Northwest Louis iana by two TD’s, Baylor to bury Southwest Texas t>y at least three touchdowns, Texas to have a little trouble with Missouri but should take them. That will be a close one and it could very easily be a j| victory for Missouri. Kansas willJ have trouble cornering the Horned- Frogs, but will emerge victorious by one touchdown, and Texas Tech will best West Texas State by 3 touchdowns. A-Squad Has Field Day In Scrimmage The Aggie “A” squad, anxious to redeem itself after the shellack ing handed it last Saturday by it’s “little brothers”, displayed a start ling comeback in the second scrim mage game on Saturday, Septem ber 14. With a powerhouse that would n’t quit, the “big boys” piled up yardage and scored almost at will against their “little brothers” who weren’t given a chance to score as the coach kept them on the defens ive throughout the afternoon. However, they were shown that they couldn’t hold the first string ers as they did in the game on the previous week. Sparked by Zapalac, Moncrief, Dickey, Goode and others, the “big boys” didn’t give Charlie DeWare’s boys a chance to regain their breath in between rushes. At present, there is still some question as to whether Daniels or Hallmark will be in Quarterback position for the opening line-up. Also, there is a possibility that either Mercer or Dick Wright will replace Knight as center. ATTENTION AGGIES Now we have white Herringbone Button Front Belted COVERALLS Sanforized $6.50 K.
