A 1 Friday, November 23, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 Holder SWC Predictions Rice To Edge TOJ In Decisive Game By ED HOLDER Battalion Sports Writer Two games are scheduled in SWC play tomorrow, one of which will probably decide the conference championship. The game between TCU and Rice has received recogni tion as the top clash of the week in the na tion. Each team has won three and lost one. Rice’s loss went to Texas University and TCU dropped a thriller last week to the same powerful Longhorn eleven. It could be anyone’s game. Rice steps on the field boasting a record of allowing only five touchdowns to their four opponents. And the Owls might be recalling a game I they played on the same field in Ft. Worth % two years ago when they came out on top. The way things are stacking up now, al though TCU is a favorite by one TD, we are going to back the Owls in a repeat performance. TCU has a sharp running attack, but the Owls have shown they can put the skids under such powerhouses. One of their displays proved very costly to the top ranking back- field of the Aggies last week in Houston. It will be a close fight all the way both teams realizing the championship goal they are shooting for. The score ? Rice should upset the Horned Frogs 20-13. Isbell Versus Benners The other SWC tilt tomorrow will feature two of the greatest passing stars in the nation. Lary Isbell and Fred Benners will battle it out. Isbell leads the Bears’ attack while Benners sparks the Mustangs But Baylor can sing their praise that passing isn’t the only thing quarterback Isbell is good at. He can run, punt, call plays, and bootleg a football like it was glued to his leg. And he has something else which every quarterback treasures. Isbell is liked by his teammates, coaches, and fans, and to top it all off, he has the undying confidence of all these. Benners of the Musangs is great. He has one weakness though which often causes sorrow for the Ponie’s fans. Like all great passing stars, he has his off days. He hasn’t seen much duty as a ground gainer this year, and appears to be too little to take on such a chore. Isbell leads the conference in passing, rates high in running and punting, and, holds the advantage over Benners as far as we can see. The advantage is when Benners has an off day with his passing the Mustangs have an off day all the way around. Both teams are relying largely on their two stars, and since we favor Isbell over Benners, we will give the nod to Baylor, 27-14. Fish Against Shorthorns Down at Austin in the big fresh man game of the year, the Short horns of TU play host to the Fish of A&M. We will point out another upset in tomorrow’s games. The Aggie Fish should win in a very close one, 14-13.

They have opened the holes for the powerful and fast backfield of the class of ’55, and they show great promise for making a good line for the varsity squad in the years to come. They are, left to right: Sidney Theriot, guard; Ben Talbert, center; Ray Barrett, guard, Lyman Pres ton, tackle; Henry Clark, end; and Lonnie Mar tin, tackle. Aggies Start Hard Workouts In Preparation forBig Game Heavy practice started again on the A&M gridiron, as Coach Ray George prepared the Aggies for their last game of the season.

The annual “Turkey Day” clash against Texas University will be the Farmers last chance for a conference vic tory. Plagued by multi semi-perma nent and permanent injuries throughout the season, the Maroon and White will claim the greater majority of the team which start ed the season. Defending this year’s Kyle Field record where the Aggies have yet to lose a game, will be the order of the day against the Steers Thursday. Walter Hill, W. T. Rush, Augie Saxe, and Bill Ballard are the big permanent losses from the Aggie squad. Sports Thrill LAST TIMES TODAY “The Thing” SATUR DAY Warner Bros. present RANDOLPH SAT. NITE PREV. 11 P.M.

It was a case of a miss-marked picture and everything is now straight. It was Langford’s thrill, now here is his picture. Hill, 220-pound defensive end who played a bang-up game against Texas last fall, has missed most of the season because of knee operation. A broken arm gained in the Trinity game has kept Saxe, de fensive backfield regular, out of the line-up for all of the confer ence tilts, while Ballard, who re placed Saxe in the line-up, is still recovering from kidney injuries. Rush, stalwart starting guard, was absent from a number of games with a braised hip after the start of league play. Injured during the season, but expected to be in top shape for “the game” include All-American Bruisin’ Bob Smith, who suffered numerous roughings in most of the games. Marshall Rush — guard and younger brother of W. T. Rush, James Fowler—linebacker, Charles Hodge—offensive end, and Half back Billy Tidwell are others who were missed at times because of injuries. At Texas, injuries have also kept Coach Ed Price shifting his ma terial to suit his needs. Byron Townsend, TU’s top fullback at the start of the season, has been held back from starting and spending a greater part of his time in a whirlpool. Yet, the Longhorns are expected to field their better squads, and hold the favored role. In the last meeting between the two teams on Kyle Field, Town send showed the way for the Steers in TU’s 42-14 victory. Half back Gib Dawson paced the way for the Orange and White’s win of 17-0 in Memorial Stadium last fall. Only a 14-14 tie in 1948 has marred the Steers’ win-list over the Cadets in the past 12 years, and no one can safely say what will happen Thursday. —Beat TU— Fayetteville, Ark., Nov. 23—<■&) —The Arkansas Razorbacks, first team to complete its 1951 South west Conference football schedule, selected a league all-opponent team today.

He realized that cigarette mildness requires more deliberation than a cursory inhale or exhale. Millions of smokers concur — there’s only one true test of mildness and flavor in a cigarette. Zf’s the sensible lest... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke on a day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments!
