BY BILL POTTS AND CHUCK CABANISS This department’s work seems to have eased off a littlie for tomorrow. With only two games in which Southwest CpEf- ferehce teams participate, there’s not much predicting (guess ing) to be done. r ^ i The conference race for the season is rapidly drawing to a close and unless some remarkable upsets , come out of to morrow’s games, the permaneht pattern is about set. • J Rice is on the top roost ip the conference standings at this time and a win tomorrow Will salt away a sure tie for the Owls, even if they happen to slip up and let Baylor beat them when the two teams meet in Hiuston next weekend. Baylor and SMU still have chances at the title, mathe*- matically speaking. The only way that the Bears could get I into the conference throne room would be via a TCU win over Rider SMU is a little farther behind than that. , The annual battle between the freshman teams of A&M and Texas comes off tomorrow in Austin at Memorial Stad ium. Sponsored by the Ben Hur Shriners, the proceed! this game will go for the benefit of crippled children. A&M Fish havei not won a game in Memorial Stad i since ’34. The teams have played 11 games to date and the .1 Shorthorns have come out victors in seven of them. Only last year the Fish were able to break into the win column. They soundly defeated a favored Shorthorn team bn I Kyle Field, 14-0. This record should give the Aggie Fish plenty of rea- j son to be out to knock the Shorthorns over tomorrow. ShorUionut ll-A&M 13 • Tin; “-lijtUo Turkey Dnj dlnsRir” tomorrow is a tjhuneo for the stud-i enth of both A&M and Texas to j Npirt blowing off a little steaitij before the “big one” next THui-h-I . day. .

Only last week the Fish took part in a similar charity game ijn Houston wheii they downed the Rice’SHme,' 20-t*>-0. M In 1946 the Shriners undertook the.sponsoring of the fray and af ter one game between "B’ teams of the two schools, the presjent fresh man rivalry was resumed as the feature attraction. Wartime eligi bility rules had ended freshman competition after the '42 $ea'son and it was not begun again until ’47. Mistaken Propaganda Press releases from Austin the past few days have informed the readers all over the state that the TU-A&M freshman series began in 1937 and that not bn|til 1948 did the Fish break into the win column. If the write-ups? on the pre-war Longhorns are correct* the;Steer sports publicity man has his signals crossed. According to the 1935 Longhorn the;’34 Fish opened the series with Texas when the conference made some kind of change in the rules concerning first year athletes. The annual reported that the Ags won by jR margin of two field goals. The following season (’35) the prefent Cadet backfieid coach, Dick Todd, paced the hlaroons to an 18* io-6 victory on Kyle Field. In 1936 the,’ Fish suffered their first set- badjk, a 2l-to«8 loss tjO the Year lings on Bryan to Haim aerials.
