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.

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 $ea'son and
it was not begun again until ’47.
Mistaken Propaganda
Press releases from Austin the
past few days have informed the
readers all over the state that the
TU-A&M freshman series began
in 1937 and that not bn|til 1948
did the Fish break into the win
column. If the write-ups? on the
pre-war Longhorns are correct*
the;Steer sports publicity man has
his signals crossed.
According to the 1935 Longhorn
the;’34 Fish opened the series with
Texas when the conference made
some kind of change in the rules
concerning first year athletes. The
annual reported that the Ags won
by jR margin of two field goals.
The following season (’35) the
prefent Cadet backfieid coach, Dick
Todd, paced the hlaroons to an 18*
io-6 victory on Kyle Field. In 1936
the,’ Fish suffered their first set-
badjk, a 2l-to«8 loss tjO the Year
lings on Bryan to Haim aerials.
Only Two Wins
'$he seemingly disputed out-

to be a victory by the Aggi# year
book, although the Austin sources
have said, that the! Shorrtmrni
paced by Pete Layden, took th
game by a 14-U>-6'margin.!
At any rgte, the Pish <itopp«l
conteats in ’38, ’89, ’40, '41, f 42(
and '47 before trouncing a highly
favored Steer team last fal). Th#
Yearlings were undefeated but tied
and boasted a large nlumber of all-
state performers. This fact didn't
bother the Maroons at all a* they
overpowered the Shorthorns, 14-to-
0, before a record breaking crowd
of 14,000.

Starred Against Owls
If you remember from last wedk’s
Rice; game, Greiner played ihe

Stiteler chose to use him only on
offense, saving him for a possible
scoring punch, however.
