I refbr you, Harold, to a line or two of a poem
many years ago by a man named RUdyard Kipling.
Let’s compare facts again. In your recent co
H
ment
levi-

g no

S ir -
Now, please, Rarold, let’$ go back,
concerning the pos
sibility of hazing being the cause
of tho Aggie’s present plight in
football. j ,'j
.. “Chick the raster i jof the grid
squad 'and see how many names you
recognize as being among the her
alded! high school stars of two
years'ago.” another'statement went
like this “Why don’t 1 more out
standing high school athletes go to
A&fi£?” f-:47 2
I may be wrong. Mr^ Ratliff, but
both of the above extracts are in
the present tense. i
— If 1 may refer to ypur first
column again, r. Harold, J'atwther
jfoint which this silly lirgi
seems to be thriving on is
dent. You mentioned in your
article about Aggieland havir
stars; then when, I referred y'
some high school stirs of the past
two seasons, you came back * with
the answer that they were not all-
state. 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. I was referring to
the mary leading sport$ .writers
in Textas, not the Association.
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.
Let’s dose the matter until the
end of ; the ’51 season \khe.n we will
have W-oof pr disproof of the
tbiiity^pf the men in question.
answer to the article I wrote, you said, “Ih the second ,
our column wasn’t talking about, this year but of the!
few years when Aggieland didn’t
get top athletes, j !

Last 5 Seasons
Fort Worth, Sept. 28 —(Spl.)—
When T. C. 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

Saturday’s- T.- C .U.-Arkans«s
game will be the 26th between the
two teams and, except for the facts
fresh in the minds of this year’s
Frogs, the series record reveals T.
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.
The Christians also possess the
longest victory streak in the ser
ies, six consecutive conquests (from
1938 through 11943), and thh big
gest margin of victory in the ser
ies, 40 to 0 in; 1930.
Coach Leo R. (Dutqh) Meyer
of the Frogs has the narrow mar
gin of one game in the 15 en
gagements his teams have had with
the Razotbacks since he became
T. G: (J. head coach in 1934. Meyer-
