If the A&M team can take tw r o of the six rounds, they will cinch the conference title. , Last year the maroon and white golfers won the most matches, but lost the deciding conference meet to Texts. This year, howeyer, the crown goes to fhe team winning the .most individual duels for the whole year. 1 There will still be a' conference meet to decide the SWC repre sentative in the CAA playoffs.

In the Bees the ACC lads will meet a group.that has been keep ing the varsity busy maintaining their top positions. The Bees are just below the regulars in ability and a lot of the time their hustle is even better. Membcra of the B team are James Wallis and Ellis Garling- ton, both of whom have done some conference playing this year, and Bill Hoover, J. O. Wil liams, and Jack Norman. Only action that will be seen by the varsity is a scrimmage that is' scheduled to be held with San Angelo High School’s netters Sat urday.
