The exports arc picking the Tex as team although there are many who hedge after saying “Texas by 13” with .these words, “The Aggies could win if they have a good day. Today's game looms as a person al duel between two great backs Texas' Byron Townsend and A&M's Bob Smith. Townsend has been a consistent gainer all year but his gains usually are for three.and four yards at a time. Smith on the other hand has picked up his share of three and four yard gains but he has also gotten free for numerous runs of more than 70 yards. Smith is a fast and elusive runnel* once he breaks into the sec ondary. Sports doposters are predicting that the strong Longhorn forward wall which averages at least 220 )ounds to the man will be able to veep the Aggies running attack in check. Aggie supporters are doubt ful that any line can keep Bob Smith, Billy Tidwell and Glen Lippman in check. *. c t f 200 21 6’1 I A •AVAVANVXNvXNXWVXttV:^^^ Av:*£sv:W:¥S:^ft*ix:X$;Xx ASV.V.

Tomp kins ranks fifth in Conference standings on net yards gained pass ing. He has thrown 94 passes and has completed 54 of them for a percentage of .574. Six of his passes have* been for touchdowns. Leading pass receivers for the Longhorns have been ends B e n Procter and Tom Stolhandske. Last year Procter was regarded as the most dangerous pass receiver in the conference. The Aggies will have ends Andy Hillhouse and Charles Hodge heal ing the brunt of pass catching du ties while backs Dick Gardemal, Delmer Sikes, Ray Graves and Darrow Hooper will all probably share passing duties today if an all out aerial attack becomes nec essary. The A ggies will-probably change their offensive tactics today in an effort to offset the effectiveness of the Longhorn line. Look for more plays to be run from the split T which gives the fast Aggie backs time to put the pressure on the opposing end and line backer rath er than on the tackles and guards. There is no question that .on jast performances the Longhorn ine has looked superior to the Ag gies line. How the two lines will compare today of course is anoth er story. 200 yy 6’2 20 E 195 6 19 E y y 0 V 195 6’1 yy E 21 E 20 V 1 yy t 6’3 200 yy yy \ 4 I 4 Dynamic Mrs. Harrington Balances Depth, Femininity - - t Wives, Two ers . . i* Ten Females On Aggie Grid Team * By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY grew up in Dallas, attended North Dallas High School. From there she went to Randolph Macon and was graduated from Baylor Uni versity. The meeting that was eventually to bring Ruth Norris to Aggieland occurred 20 years ago in Dallas. She was then working at High land Park High School and her future husband, not many years out of A&M, was teaching chem istry here. The two met through President Harrington's cousin who was a close friend of Miss Norris. In February 1933 the pretty young lady from Dallas and the tall handsome young teacher from A&M joined their destinies in a marriage that has been marked with* happiness and that would serve well as a model for students to follow. Immediately after their marriage the young couple came to A&M. Here Ruth Harrington has put down her roots, formed her friendships and here, she says “I belong.” the state of world affairs. She feels that it is a tragedy. that young men must be chiefly concerned with the problem pf keeping Amer ica safe, but she knows that this is' true. • » « T .

What does she like most? “So many things it would be impossible to enumerate,” but chiefly she likes people, good books and good music.
