Aggies & Frogs Clash in Conference Opener

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.

One of the biggest troubles
most students have when partici

knowing the rules of the game he
is playing. If there are any ques
tions about any rules or regula
tions write them on a slip of
paper and drop them by the In
tramural office and your ques
tions will be answered. Your ques
tions may help others, so come on
down for a get together on any
doubts.

Nation’s Best Pair
Leonard Dickey, 210 pound Ag

born, night sports editor of the
Daily Texan, admits to be tops
in anybody’s line is a "product of

he made All-District and Kilgore
Junior College where he made All-
State, he came to A. & M. from
which he went into the Army Air
Force.
During his three and one half
years in service, he played with
the Army Western All-Stars. Af
ter being discharged, Dickey re
turned to A. & M., bringing his
wife.
Monte Moncreif, Aggie tackle
from Dallas is completing his last
year at A. & M. and has three

tended Sunset High School in Dal

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.

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.

I'D RATHER COACH

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. This
game promises to give the fans
more than their money’s worth in
thrills and chills
