The Maroon and White harriers will be in their best shape of the season and are raring to go ^gainst what is supposedly their toughest obstacle in the path towards a third consecutive SWC champion ship. Colonel Andy Anderson and Ray Putnam will ; probably field the same team that whipped Texas two weeks ago in Austin, 19-42. Included on the team are John Garmany, Julian Herring, Mar shall Lazarine, Charlie Gabriel, Charles Hudgins, Jim McMahon, and Alex Ortiz. The first five of the seven to finish will score for the team. Herring in Shape With Herring rounding in to shape as evidenced by his. strong third place against TU, and with Garmany still leading the way, the Aggies could well go the I'est of the way undefeated and take the SAVE SAVE We Are Still' j Out Our Stock FEATURING THESE SPECIALS THIS WEEK CLEAN 1946 CHEVROLET FORDOR $ 745.00 RADIO AND HEATER 1949 CHEVROLET CLUB COUPE $1275.00 1950 NEW FORD “8” HALF TON PICKUP, $1285.00 RADIO AND HEATER 1948 CHEVROLET 2 DOOR FLEETLINE. $1095.00 1949 CHEVROLET HALF TON PICKUP . . $ 895.00 HESTER 1949 CHEVROLET 4 DOOR $1345.00 1950 CHEVROLETS PANELS, PICKUPS, SEDAN DELIVERIES, TRUCKS — ANY SIZE We Also Have Several Cheaper Cars and Trucks These Units On Used Car Lot Next to Shaw’s Humble Station — Hiway 6 North Culpepper Chevrolet Co., Inc.

Sophs Lazarine and Hudgins con tinue to make things look bright by staying hot on the heels of the leaders along with Gabriel. Arkansas, however, boasts a pow erful team this year led by James Brown and James West, who were one-two in the two-mile at last May’s SWC track meet. They are also bolstered by Oliv er Gatchell and Tom Hardin who took the third and fourth spots of the mile run in the same meet. These four with other squadsmen offer a definite threat to A&M’s championship hopes. The Razorbacks were second in the conference cross country meet last fall and Brown was a close third in the event. Should the Aggies hurdle this barrier, they should coast in for their third championship 1 .

LAST TIMES TODAY “Conspirator” SATURDAY PREY. SAT. 10:30 P.M. Sunday & Monday LAST TIME TODAY CAPT. CAREY, U.S.A. ALAN LADD Bruisin’ Bob Third Team All-America By FRANK N. MANITZAS Battalion Sports Editor Midseason is over, and now, the final and crucial games of the Southwest Conference remain to be played. Throughout the nation, mid-season All-America teams are being picked, and it is interesting to note that on the majority of the pickings, three members of the SWC are named to the top three teams. Bruisin’ Bob Smith was placed on the third team along with other backfield ma terial—Don Heinrich of Washington Univer sity, Dick Kazmaier of Princeton, and Ever ett Grandelius of Michigan State. On the first string, Bud McFadin of TU is a starting guard with SMU’s Kyle Rote safely holding down a back position. Along with Rote on the first string back- field are Vic Janowicz of Ohio State, Hugh McElhenny of Washington, and Leon Heath of the OU Soon- ers. Also on the first, string was Dan Foldberg of Army at the end position. Many may remember when Foldberg played for the Aggies. As it stands, the individuals of the teams were picked on performances displayed thus far this season, and undoubt edly, the teams will change by the end of the season. On the teams chosen by Athletic Publications, the first string line weighed 209 pounds while the others followed at 207 and 209. The backfield weight, in order of teams, was 192, 186, and 184 pounds. From the local league race this week; the top game of the nation has been picked, and, of course, it is a Siellout. The game in comment is the SMUiTU tilt with the winner, we believe, being the Orange and White. A&M seems to be the favorite over the Porkers, although the Cadets were upset last week by the Baylor Bears. TCU is picked over the just mentioned Bruins and Rice for an easy victory over Texas Tech. A&M to Rebound From Last Week, 21-19 When the Aggie team gets on the go, The Arkansas Hogs will be lucky to show. Manitzas Although the odd makers are picking the Cadets over the Porkers by a fair margin of seven markers, we think it will be much closer. Head Football Coach Harry Stiteler once said that if the team could cure its mistakes, it could beat anyone. After what has hap pened recently, we believe that it is time for the Cadets to have cured their mistakes, and he ready to go. Arkansas has a fast, heavy team that can make a game of it against anyone. Even though the Porkers have been a disappointment drop ping four of their five major bat- Texas to Upset Fa ties, they are improving with every game and this may be the one they have been waiting for. An inconsistent offense has not ben able to counterbalance and help the two big 214 pound lines which the Porkers have; hence, they have a fine team but it has proved ineffective up to date. ' For the Aggies, up to last week they had averaged 40 points for game and it seems more than like ly that they will again climb into the winner’s circle come Saturday, with the aid of Darrow Hooper’s consistent PAT boots, 21-19. wred Ponies, 28-20 Blair Cherry will meet Rusty Russell; Watch TU’s Cherry with plenty of muscle. Picking the Longhorns over the Mustangs of Southern Methodist, the Associated Press’ favorite as the No. 1 team in the nation, was rather rough for us to do, being Aggies, but it looks as if the Steers may come through after three long winless years. The last time that TU defeated SMU was in 1946 when the Orange and White ran away with the fame, 19-3. The following year saw the Austinites in the favored role as SWC champs, and when the occasion arose the Mustangs came through, knocking off the same, 14-13, 21-6, but Rice won the con ference title.

There remain nine major unde feated college teams. Six of them are listed among the country’s nine tightest defensive units in figures released today by the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau. It would appear to be more than a coincidence. The six all-victorious elevens which appear among the leaders in “total defense” are, in the order of their defensive excellence, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Miami (Fla.), Kentucky, Army and Loyola of Los Angeles. Only SMU, Princeton and Cali fornia of the undefeated clan have not distinguished themselves by their rockbound defenses. Wyoming’s Cowboys climbed to the top in the “total” department last Saturday when they limited New Mexico to 68 yards. The Waddies have yielded an average TODAY & SATURDAY FIRST RUN —Features Start— 1:23 - 3:23 - 5:23 7:23 - 9:23 News—Cartoon PREVUE TONIGHT 11 P.M. FIRST RUN NEWS — CARTOON PREVUE SAT. NIGHT 11 P.M.

The big ten pace* setters have given up only 41.8 yards per game against five op ponents. Oklahoma’s average yielc^ of 55.6 yards won the title last season. Mississippi State, which led in total defense a week ago, took over the leadership in pass defense with an average yield of 45.2 yards, displacing Oklahoma. The Sooneis average took a bad jolt when Iowa State passed over them for 112 yards last week. Every major college team except Army has been scored upon at least four times.
