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.

All-Opponent ‘IV
These six Aggie stalwarts have been the back
bone of the Fish squad throughout the season.
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.

Alvin Langford
Alvin Langford’s picture is
above for sure. We have run
Bobby Dixon’s picture with
Langford’s name under it. 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.

Ssj:;
his sporty student really teed off on a long tirade
when he found himself stymied on the “single puff”
and “one sniff” cigarette tests. “They’re strictly
for the birdies!” said he. 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! Once
you’ve tried Camels for 30 days in your “T-Zone”
(T for Throat, T for Taste), you’ll see why ...
