We, however, are otf the op inion that all of 'tfexak’ best foot ball players are not allistaters.i IjL.; answering ole, Haloid, you kept referring to the Texas Sports Writers’ Association, Which I nev- '(er mentioned.

As for/these leading writers, both in and out of !the Association, declaring the ’48_Fish as, the best ' freshman team irl the state, I still contend that the Aggies were apd’ I am sure most of the Texas sports writers' will agree with me. i - Wfhat I was referring to was a consensus opinion of Texas sport serines. It appears quite evident, Harold, that^ no proof of either sidd of this argument can be; obtained at the present time.

U.’s Horned Frogs leave Friday niight for Fayettevi|le, Ark., where on) Saturday afternoon they will open the 1949 Southwest Conference football season against the Arkansas Razorbacys, they will have two thoughts uppermost in their mirilds. ! M, First], the Frogs have dropped four consecutive games to Arkan sas, and Us a result, there is not a single member of this year's T. C. U. team who has ever had the pleasure of drowning the Razor- backs. Not sirice 1943 have the Frogs won in the annual engage ment of the t]Ao teams. Second, the Frogs have lost all their games to the Razorbacks, three of the four aforementioned defeats, since Tennessee’s John Barnhill became Arkansas’ head coach in 1940. i As a result^Jthe T. C.

Ci U. advantages at every point. The Frogs have won 14 and the Razorbacks 9 of the previous games with two ending jn ties. T. C. U. even has an advantage in the games played in Fayette ville, having won six there while Arkansas has won but four on its home field. Orie game in Fayette ville ended in a tie between the two, In games' at Fort Worth, the Frogs have won eight, Arkansas five, and there was also one tie.
