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. As
wc mentioned in the remarks about
the Froggies’ not-too-tough oppon
ents, Abilene isn ! t exactly u pow-

'The Ags had an average margin
of 28 points over the WQdcats.
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.

Woodruff and Wolf differed over

The scheduling of football games

the break between the two men.
