Win or lose, it seems the Aggies can’t move from their 61st ppot in Paul Williamsons’ weekly football ratings. They have been in the same place for three straight weeks and it looks; as though nothing but a 63 to 0 upset of favored Texas University will bring them out of it.

It aeema that SHU, the team* that fan wild against Arkansas jumped down a notch in the weekly ratings, but jumped up two notch es last week when the Aggies tied them. Thefe must be something the matter with poor Mr. Williamsons ratings for this week, he contends that fhis la the time for him to check all his cards, anq directly from hia column we Quote,all percentages of predictions and con sistency are ommited this week.” 'Thje Fighting Irish” seem to have a reserve sign on the number on spot, but instead of Army In number two position we find Ok lahoma. The Sooners overpowered a strong Missouri team while Ar my slipped by Penn 14 to 13. The West Pointers, at present are lodgejd in number four. Ca ifornia moved up from fourth to third spot oh" the rating sheet. Rice Fifth Rice maintained its fifth place rating despite the 13 tej 0 loss it handed the Aggies. Rice has been in th|e top ten every week this sea son and should stay there, as far as Paul ^B. cerned. Idle Virginia remained at sixth whilf Michigan and SMy swapped places from the previous week to take! over seventh and eighth spots respectively. Santa Clara moved up to ninth in a readjustment, and Minnesota brought up the rear at 10th, Texas dropped out of the first ten ranking when they let a strong-willed TCU eleven outpoint it laist Saturday. The Longhorns are at present dwelling in the 15th spot and should be contented. Baylor, proving that they can win against a heretofore undefeat ed Rocky Mountain ^tqam, bver- powered Wyoming to hop into the eighteenth position. The rest of the conference teams are ranked down the line with.TCU coming in next in the 36th position. Hogs 25th '. 'll Arkansas has fallen; to a spot four points below Its 21st place of last'week.

He also stated that new ring as semblies of a bright orange color would he placed on the backboards, Karow stated that both these changes were being made because the above' equipment was made mandatory for all collegiate games this year. : m He continued by saying that the Research Committee, after care ful investigation, found that the orange basket rings are easier on player’s eyes in shooting and that the transparent backboards will en able many more spectators to wit ness the game. Karow concluded by stating that these rule changes were made for the good of the game and that he did not believe that the new glass backboards would hurt the Aggies' 1 chances for a successful season.
