white jerseys, according to Coach Karow. ,
: Father team' will be slowed up tonight because
ss of razzle-dribble Mike Garcia. Mike will rest
tonight and! possibly tomorrow night also on doctor’s orqers because
of ap injury suffered in practice last week. He has not been able to
work out steady recently, and consequently he is not in top form

Potent Bill Batey h is been shifted to the guard position to give
him a chance to shoot his long shots and let the .tallfjr jboys get
under the basket. Batey v as the high-scoring man on the Aggie team
last year and made 17 points last Monday in the season opener.
As the season goes on ther^ will be a fight for the center spot
on the squad with Bob Ka nperman and Don Voiding vying for starting
honors. Both men have shewn up w r ell in practice and Coach Karow may
alternate them in coinpe ution. Kamperman has looked good In the
scoring column while Veiling does his best fighting for tiho; hall
Not overly optopiist ic, Coach Marty Karow said that the caliber
Of his squad will be proved by this time next week. After, tpmorrow’s
and Saturday’s game with SE Oklahoma, the Cadets will be host to the
East Texas Teachers College here Monday or Tuesday njight. Should
the Farmers come through with wins, prospects will look good for a
few conference wins. i
A&M is expected .t i have a much bettdr season this year than
laSt in conference play, due to the weakening of the other teams as
much as thfe added polish of the Aggies. Texas has only three men
returning from their Corference Championship squad, lajit year, and
they may have trouble filling the gap left by All-America John Hargis.
Coupon holders' having surnames starting with A t«f G’ inclusive

Last year the offinhls informed

‘’the apaches when thefd were only
four minutes left to play. Whole
sale substitutions could he made
alt that tim*. From then oh. How
ever, just «,e at a time could be
made. This season time will stop
aiitjoi taticajly ot^ all dead balls in
thej last three ; minutes but the
coaches won’t be informed; on how
much time is left. Unlimited sub-
Istitutiion may be made.
' In other words, there was noth-
( ing but confusion resulting from
the fuur-mirtutd rule; There’s no
: use in stopping the game to vir-

stitutions. I . ;j
Foialk that occur i^eri play is

during the war years, the promis

and the gyms arid stables were gen

bouts, a rigimus training schedule
and that old element time to round
