Andy has been drilling his iCindermen strenuously the past few few weeks in an effort to de velop the Cadet team, which is composed of many sophomores and squadmen as yet untried in varsity competition. ^ Led by such standouts as co captains J. D. Hampton and George Kadera, low hurdlejf record hold er Bob Hall, and the only return ing veteran quaftermiler, Don Mitchell, the Aggies should be-' gin a promising season by defeat- r ing the North Texans for the second time in a row. A&M won in a triangular meet at Denton last year with NTSC and East Texas the competition. Should Indicate Strength * Saturday’s meet will give the .fans an idea: as to how the over all team strength will stand up. Depending on how the untried boys come throught the meet, it will in dicate t h e‘ Farmers’ chances • agaihst favorite TU '-and other strong teams in next week’s Bor det; Olympics. With the Eagles strong in the sprints, hurdles, weights, and , : jumps, the contest should be close all the way.
