THURSDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 17, 1946 THE BATTALION Page 5 Aggies & Frogs Clash in Conference Opener • • • • On Kyle Field • • • • U. y. JOHNSTON The Aggies have the best chance since the loss to Tech to break back into the win column this Saturday when they take on the Horned Frogs, as to date T. C. U. has shown to be one of the weakest teams in the conference. By this I do not mean to say that the Frogs are a soft touch but they are relatively the weakest team to face the Aggies so far—outside of North Texas of course. With the weakest team to open the conference on the Ags should be able to show what they really have under cover. + The presence of Zapalac, Dickey and Welch will not hurt the Farm ers any this week either. Zapalac has been out of action since the opener with North Texas with the exception of one play in the tussle with the Raiders and neith er Welch nor Dickey have seen action in the past two weeks. With the regulars back in the line-up the home team should hand the Frogs their third loss of the sea son and break back into the win column. The Arkansas Razorbacks take the conference spotlight this week-end when they tangle with Texas University. Both teams will enter this 'contest unde feated although Arkansas has been tied once. But it looks like Arkansas’ record will not be quiet so clean come Saturday night. I will take the Longhorns in this tussle — which inci dentally is not being very brave to take the Razorbacks, but it wouldn’t make yours truly very mad to miss on this one. Rice also opens her conference play this week against the Mus tangs from SM^U. Although the Ponies made their best showing of the season last week when they drubbed the Oklahoma Aggies. I don’t think Jess Neely’s crowd will have too much trouble riding them this week. WILLIAMSON’S PREVIEW Winners Location Losers Aggies College Station T.C.U. Rice Houston S.M.U.

A major in Veterinary Medicine, Moncreif is married and has a daughter. He is twenty-two years of age and his six foot-three and two hundred-five pounds is a wel come addition to any line. People don’t^ get round-shoulder ed from following a hunch. Aggie-TCUB Teams Tangle Here Friday On Fi’iday afternoon, October 18 at 3:30 p.m. at Kyle Field the Aggie “B” squad tangles with the Polywogs from TCU, the Ags for their second game and the Poly wogs for their fifth. The TCU boys, coached by Wal ter Roach and Hub McQuillan, have won two of the four games played to date, losing to Arkansas 12 to 6 and to Tulsa 22 to 20. Like nearly all other schools, the Frogs have many potential gridders and their capabilities were proven when they took the Decatur Bap tists to the cleaners with a score of 27 to 0 and later downed the boys from the Grand Prairie Nav al Air Station with an 18 to 0 score. Included in the Polywog line are several men who are heavier than any on the Aggie line-up. Heav iest of these is 250-pound Don Narrell, closely followed by 245- pound I. B. Bryan. (See AGGIE B-TCU, Page 6) LSU Buries Aggies Under 33-9 Score The mighty Bengals of L. S. U. buried the Aggie team under a 33-9 score last Sautrday night in Baton Rouge. This is the third loss in as many weeks for the Maroon and Whites, and is the last game bofore the Ags meet their firsts conference foe here at College Station next Saturday aft ernoon. !w I'D RATHER COACH I I I I A celebrated refugee from college football tells why he thinks he’s better off — both spiritually and financially — coaching a pro outfit than he ever was on the college campus. His name: Jim Conzelman, fabulous coach of the Chi cago Cardinals. His reasons are both en lightening and amusing, and he gives ’em to you straight from the shoulder in his lively article entitled Td Rather Coach the Pros in today’s issue of The Saturday Evening Post. Still another reason why, if you want to keep posted on the world of sports, you can’t afford to miss a single issue of the Post. Ags Try for Win No. 24 Over TCU Horned Frogs Aggies and Frogs to Try for Comeback On Kyle Field Saturday Thq Aggies open the Southwest Conference race here at College Station when the Horned Frogs from T. C. U. come down. Neither the Ags nor the Frogs have had a very successful season to date and this game will place two teams that are rated approximately the same on the field at the same time. The Frogs fo date have a record of pne win, one tie and two losses. The first game of the season the Frogs tied the highly favored Kansas University eleven and then came back on the following week to eke out a victory over Baylor. Since then they have lost two straight the first to Arkansas and the next to Miami University. This leaves their average just slightly better than the Aggie’s who have three defeats to one win, giving them a win loss aver age of .250%. The experts are rating the Ag gies over the Frogs but it is by a very slim margin and all agree that the game could easily go either way. This prediction is bas ed on the relative strength of op ponents that the two teams have played and all agree that the Farmers have had the stiffest competition. , The home team lost their first to the Tech Red Raiders who went on the following week to knock off the S. M. U. Mustangs and were only removed from the undefeat ed list by the strong Tulsa Uni- versity team. The next Ag defeat came from the nation’s fifth rank ing team, the Oklahoma Sooners, and the last loss scored against the Aggies was by the heavy L.S.U. Tigers last Saturday night. Both teams will be trying hard to break back into the win col umn this week-end, and with the teams so nearly matched the air should be full of the old pigskin nex,t Saturday afternoon.
