by himself for a twelve yard gain,
using speed to outrun the Aggie
line on the soggy turf. The Aggie’s
Stanley Ht>Unrig also added some
thrills to the gamg with his su-

Predictions With Unexpected 21-21 Tie
Having iuat polished off the words of last Friday that
an alert fighting Aggie football team made us this week
end, this corner officially goes on record as conceding the
point that forecasting isn’t one of our stronger t>oints.
Not only did we manage to miss the Arkansas-Aggie
score (we picked Arkansas 18-0) but our hunches on Texas
and Baylor failed to pan out. Only on the
Rice-Texas Tech game did we score a bulls-
eye which couldn’t have been very hard in
view of the fact the Owls were no less than
a four-touchdown favorite.
