, Positions with the hottest com
petition will probably be in the
outfield. Eight players are lined
up to patrol the extremities of the
field. The three spots may go to
Billy “Shug” McPherson in right,
■Hollis Bakcg* in center, and either
DeWitt or Moon in the left field
-position. I
Pitchers are fairly deep in num
bers, bpt slim in actual combat
experience. Bruce Morisse, Pat
Hubert, Blanton Taylor, George
Brown; Sam Blanton; Bob Tankers-
ley, Bob Calloway, and Sid Good-
loe—Some or most of these hurl-
ers should see action in the pre
season games.

champions, will again 'be faVored,

SjWC meet last year, Texas ;haS a
Wide advantage this spring.] The
fleers lost but 9% points from last
gear’s conference meet, while the
Aggies lost 20% by graduation.
On a basis of last year's teams,
Texas ; is approximately 11 poiijits

The Longhorn freshman team
was much better than the Aggie

It might appear that the Austin
ites have this border affair sewdei
up, buL the A&M team is quite
promising. Ah Aggie victory, how
ever, will definitely be an upset.
J. D. Hampton may be a good
choice to break both his records,
set last year, in the mile and the
two-mile .events. Hampton ran
these events in 4:18.6 and 9:36.fl,
respectively in last year's Border
Olympics. Ford Rodgers, promis
