with two ties.
Splitting up the ballots among
the veterans and the corps, it was
seen that the two group* partin
paled in the contest just about in
pn.|ortion to their reUttve number
with four out of every seven bal
lot* carrying a veteran dorm ad
dress.
Unusually enough, the Fish
and the Seniors la the Corps sent
t far more entry blanks than
phomerac and Juniors. The Ftah
picked AAM by a ratio of four to
three while the Seaiore were I to

With tha (ting of the 24-0 TCU lacing still
bitter In their memories, the Aggies tkould
bounce, in some shape or fashion against the
Bears. There is little doubt among those who
have seen the Aggies play all their games
this year, that AAM has a team quite capable
of sending the Bears back to Waeo on the
short end of the score. However, the same
