Win Only one of their remaining
two league games to replace Texas
as champion.
The, Oklahoma Aggies, with two
victories over St. Louis, virtually
have regained the Missouri Valley
Conference crown. Califirnia, al

Southern Division tide, is favored
to whip whomever takes the North
ern division laurels in the playoff
for the conference’ blue ribbon.
Baylor’s win was a first-class
thriller.
At one time Southern Methodist

work toward a degree in business
administration. After that he j§n’t
sure he will go back to pro foot

The big wingman Wlicv4 the
Colts’ chances of landing Bobby
Layne, Texas’ fabulous parser,
was enhanced by Chicago signing
Johnny Lujack, the Notre Dame
star. : , ■ j.
“That gives the Bears four good
quarterbacks,” Beehtol figures, and
Bobby probably knows he would
be buried far down among the
subs on a club with all that talent
at his position.”
Layne, said Beehtol, would be
about the only eonviijicer he would
need to return to the Colts; next
year. In 1944 and 1945 Bechtdl Was
Layne’s favorite parsing target.
