Ratliff of the AP or Ed Fite of the UP. • -Mfr wm % V ‘ i j.. To lift from your worried minds the cause of all the obscure state ments above, let me quote ffom -Fite’s Tuesday release: ' j ^Texas A&M and Texas Christian were doped at the start of the (basketball) season to be also- rans, and the Aggies are living up to form. TCU is confounding the experts with a burst of early-sea- son speed but still has to be proved against a series of majors oppo nents.” Fite apparently was basing his i observations on the Cadets’ 0- won, 4-lost record as of Monday afternoon. At that time the Frog gies boasted of an exactly opposite record—but as the UP writer men tioned, Brannon’s Brats hadn’t faced anyone stronger than Abilene Christian in any of their starts. Ratliff Points -to Ags Ratliff .made similar j disparag ing . remarks in an 1 early-week round-up which largely attributed the SWC’a poor intersectional rec ord to AAM without bothering to explain who the teams were that had been defeating the Ags. The AP writer, too, tossed in some kind words for the Cowtown cagers. Well, several gallons of water have flowed under the bridge since Fite and Ratliff made their sage comments. TCU’s Brats arc 1 unde feated ho longer—Mizzou dropped the (’owtowners Tuesday, 64-45. The Tigers bad been edged by TCU the night before, 36-87. Meanwhile A&M bad booted ACC- twice, 66-46 and 73-38.

TCU beat the ACC quintet* twice, too, 52-35 and 65-57.1 This means the Horned Toads averaged de feating the West Texans by only 12 Vi points. Actually, the difference in the margins might not mean a thing, but it does mean just as much as the infonqation the syndicated writers well using as the basis for their comparisons—the won-lost records of the two teams against competition of entirely differenjt caliber. When the Froggies make a bet ter showing than the Cadets did against LlU, Niagara, and St. Louis, then and only then will -the “authorities’’ have any reason for considering TCU the better team. As for ourselves, we’ll wait un til January 6 and February 21 have come and gone before we say the Ags are undoubtedly tbe ^better. But until then we’ll keep right on believing that the contests op these two dates will prove A&M to be the better club. ■i—■ i ~ i—]■—■ ■■ ■■■ ■—■■ii I»i |* ■!» i i g\; 4 . w liik* J j-l Jjl' " :l§f||g I m ., i jr j ; r .f # m % Walt “Buddy” Davis, 6’ 8" of basketball player, leaps high for the opening jump-ball In Monday nlghtfs Aggie victory over the ACC Wildcats.
