THE BATTALION
Page 3
AROUND THE CONFERENCE
Ags Will Bow
To Spartans
By ED HOLDER
Battalion Sports Editor
If the Michigan State Spartans are look
ing for an easy ride, they are in for a big
Holder surprise.
The Aggies are going north this weekend
trying to knock off the nation’s number one
team, and although it would be one of the biggest upsets of
all time, they could do it.
Another thing adding to the Maroon and White incentive
to win is the fact this will be the first time an A&M squad
will appear on a coast to coast television hook-up.
But with all the power and reserves the Spartans have,
the nod goes to them. It promises to be a close game, one
which could go either way. The Farmers this far have been
unable to combine all their potential into a money making
proposition, so State is our choice for the victory by seven
points. 1 1 ... JHfci Sim. Jfct *'
Baylor Will Take Arkansas
The Bears have shown a great deal of improvement and
promise. They have been acclaimed by some as the dark horse
of the conference. Anytime Arkansas plays at home, they are
hard to beat, but it might also be mentioned that they are the
j^mpst “up and down” team in the conference.
If Arkansas doesn’t display any more than they have so far,
the Bears should be able to take them. It will be clos ethough,
neither is heavy favorite in this week’s ofaly conference game.
Count on Baylor to take the Razorbacks by six points.
UCLA Over Rice
The Owls took a lashing at the
hands of LSU last week, and from
the looks of things, they will come
out of this one on the bottom too.
The powerful Bruin squad from
UCLA held a championship TCU
Horned Frog team scoreless two
weeks ago.
It might not be a, scoreless day
for the Owls, but we see the
Bruins winning a good game by
13 points. If Rice is to hold her
own in the conference this year,
she had better start to roll, but
UCLA is a tough team to roll
against. The final score will sound
something like Bruins, 20-7.
SMU Underdog to Missouri by 14
Big Missouri shouldn’t have
much trouble with the low-riding
Mustangs. It could be a good
game, but any way you look at it,
Missouri should win. It looks like
another cold day for the SWC.
SMU has had a lot of chances
to win games, but they can’t seem
to cash in on the opportunities.
Their sophomore squad has shown
a lot of spirit, but the experience
is lacking. Missouri has the ex
perience, the men, and the spirit
as well. Coming out on top of a
20-6 game will be the Missouri
squad.
Longhorns Will Squeeze Out Oklahoma
The old rivalry is alive again.
Texas has shown a lot of power, and many say could and
should have beaten Notre Dame last week. Their Oklahoma neigh
bor from up north of Red River let a lot of people down a while
back when a lowly Colorado A&M team jumped up and caught
them in the jaw with a tie.
It should be a close game and a thriller for a big crowd, but
Coach Bud Wilkinson of the Oklahoma squad has more than one
little item to worry about. The Longhorns can pass and run both,
and have enough personnel to please Knute Rockney. Texas by 13-
Horned Frogs Over Trinity
TCU Will be recovering this
week from the Arkansas game
they won last week, and getting
ready for the Aggie game next
week. They won’t try to stomp the
little Trinity club, but they won’t
have any trouble with them either.
Trinity hasn’t done so well, and
they lost what they had last year.
Dutch Meyer’s champions should
have a field day and a good rest
to get set for their second confer
ence tilt. They get the nod with
out a doubt by at least 20 points.
The final gun should sound when
the Horned Frogs have run the
score to about 27-7.
‘Might Surprise State’’
Bobby Dixon, tackle on the var-
iity football squad said if A&M
jmld get rid of some of its mis
takes from the Kentucky game,
they could surprise Michigan.
“It will be a good, hard game
to matter who wins, although
they are big favorites.”
Dixon, a personnel administra
tion major from Ingleside, played
four years of high school ball and
won four letters while doing it.
He also played baseball and
l basketball in high school and has
freshman and a varsity
letter at A&M.
“The Cowpokes had a slightly
better team than University of
Houston and our score should have
been higher,” said Dixon.
Even though the team knows
they’re far from best in the na
tion, when they enter a game,
they know they have as much
chance as the other team. They’re
fighting all the way, according to
Dixon.
“If we keep fighting the way we
have been, we should have a bet
ter season than most people
think,” is the way he sees it.
The only thing the team has
learned about Michigan, so far, is
they have an aggressive line, but
if the A&M line continues to
charge and give all they have,
they will hold their own, said Dix
on.

‘Confidence Necessary
For Football Forecasts’
By HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK — OP) — The one
thing you need to make football
forecasts is confidence. After last
weeks’ schedule, the Claassen Con
fidence Company, Inc.", went into
bankruptcy.
Waiting for reorganization of
the firm, here are this week’s win
ners :
Michigan State over Texas A&M
This is Saturday’s TV gem. The
Spartans, who specialize in late
rallies, had better get the points
early this time because those Tex
ans can run long and far.
Oklahoma over Texas. The Tex
ans will discover that Vessels is
the name of a top back, not to be
confused with a fleet of ships on
the Gulf.
UCLA over Rice. The edge goes
to the home team.
Southwest: Baylor over Arkan
sas, Texas Christian over Trinity.
Far West: Utah over Brigham
Young, Colorado over Arizona, Wy
oming over Colorado A&M, Cali
fornia over Oregon, Utah State ov
er Idaho, Montana over Denver.
Midwest: Purdue over Iowa,
Kansas over Iowa State, Nebras
ka over Kansas State, Detroit ov
er Marquette, Northwestern over
Minnesota, Oklahoma A&M over
Wichita, Missouri over Southern
Methodist, Tulsa over Houston.

Batt System
Has Off Day
Last weekend was hard on the
Southwest Conference teams, and
also hard on sports predictors. I
Baylor was the only SWC squad I
that had an intersectional victory
when the smoke cleared Sunday
morning.
The Battalion’s predicting sys
tem, was hit hard, only picking
33 per cent of the winners. That
brings the average down to 61 per
cent for the season which leaves
no room for another Saturday
like the last.
The SWC hasn’t had much luck
with their non-conference foes, and
this week should be no exception
according to the system which
predicts:
Arkansas over Baylor by 2
Michigan State over A&M by 7
Rice over UCLA by 6
Missouri over SMU by 6
Trinity over TCU by 6
Texas over Oklahoma by 3.

Wnu t/0U,
Tigers, Cypress
Clash Tonight
By JERRY NEIGHBORS
Battalion Sports Sttaff
The A&M Consolidated Tigers
travel to Cypress-Fairbanks to
night for “one of our roughest
games of the year,” said Coach
Othel V. .Chafin.
Leading the district standings
for the second week, the Tigers
have played only one district game.
The standings include non-district
tilts.
William Arnold and David Bon-
nen are second and third, respect
ively, in individual scoring. Arnold
has scored 54 points, Bonnen 42.
The Cypress coach went to
school with Chafin and played on
the same football team with him,
so there will be a little more to
the game than just the two teams.
“I’m going to do my best to
beat Ben Cobb and I know he will
be trying just as hard against
me,” Chafin said.
Men In Good Shape
Rod Cook, the one Tiger player
who isn’t in top condition will play
quite a bit of the game. If he isn’t
able to, we have quite a few sub
stitutes; they will be seeing a lot
of action anyway, Chafin contin
ued.
Cyprpss-Fairbanks will be using
a Notre Dame T and a wide spread
formation. Chafin Vvill stick to
his straight T and wing T. Cy
press has won two and lost two
games this year.
When asked why they’re playing
a game with a team so far away,

Coach Chafin said, “We find it
hal'd to get games with Class B
teams because we’re too big and
the Class A teams won’t play us
because we always beat them.
They don’t like to get beaten by
a class B school.”
Chafin has been using from 25
to 30 boys every game. He expects
to use about the same number to
night. Bobby Joe Wade, especially,
will play a good share of the
time.
