In their Only encounter so far
this season the Razorbacks were
beaten by the Orange Smd White

team put up quite a fight before
going down.
The Aggies will be out fpr
their third win in the conference
race this weekend. Of the three
conference games played thus
far the A&M team has won two
and lost one match.
If the team keeps working out
on the boards and showing im

this week they should come out
this weekend with another con
