Ever since the Browns picked
up the Marbles in' 194G, the AAC’s
first year 'of operation, “the cus

they would do against the nation’s
finest. i
According to rumors the two
leagues will arrive at some .sort
of an agreement during the winter,
perhaps after the owners receive
their year-end bank statements.

This Afternoon
A&M’s Cross Country team left this morning at 9 foi

a lofty (comparatively speaking, of
course) forty-first spot in the No
vember 22 listings.
The Aggies brought up the rear
with their sixty-second place in
the ranking.
Traditional Games
Only the Penn-Cornell Turkey
Day classic is considered more tra
dition-clad than the Aggie-Steer
clash by Williams^!.
The prognosticator siid, “an
other old classic ought to find
Texas running over Texas A&M by
two or three touchdowns. That] is
what the difference in ratings
would indicate. But this is a game
in which time has shown that per
centages frequently show up of dif
ferent on the field than they do
on paper.”
In other conference tilts SMU
is expected by Williamson to take
the measure of the TCU Froggies
despite having to face Meyer’s
Men on Cowtown turf. Arkansas
is favored to defeat Tulsa. *
Rice, current league leader, is
favored by “the system” in its;
all-important clash with Baylor
in Houston.
With the winner of the Bayou
City tussle slated to represent the
loop in the Cotton Bowl, South
western fans are expecting one of
two other outsidp games to pro
duce the SWC opponent. The
games involve Tulane-LSU and
Oklahoma-Okla. A&M. Williamsoii
picks Tulane and OU to win.

These two teams meet next Sat

title. A loss would throw the teams
into a deadlock for the crowd but
would mean Baylor would be host
