Around the Conference
Aggies Over Rice;
TU to Take Frogs
The Aggies are 13 points better than Rice. <
Even if Ray Graves can’t quarterback the Cadets tomor
row, the Maroon and White should win by this- margin.
Graves is said to be in a “doubtful” condition as to whether
he will play or not, and if he doesn’t Roy Dol
lar or Don Ellis will fill in.
It looks Rke it will be Dollar though,
since Ellis is such a valuable man at the half
back post. The tall slender punting specialist
from Mexia did a good job last week against
SMU when he took over in the second half
after Graves was injured. For his first time
at running the team, Dollar received good
signs of confidence from team members when
they turned in some of the best blocking of
i the day. ■*
Holder This game could easily determine if
A&M will* finish nearer the top than the bottom of the un
predictable SWC. We believe they will move up a step tomor
row, as they plan their last home game with the support of
the twelfth man and stop the Owls come-back before it can
take its first breath. The score should sound like 27-14 in
favor of the Farmers.

Mustangs Too Much For Hogs
SMU’s Mustangs will prove too

The unpredictable Arkansas

is too small to predict an upset.
The Mustangs are at least . 18

so we pick the up and coming
Ponies to win 32-14.

Fencers Prepare
For Tarleton* Rice
By GEORGE MANITZAS
Battalion Sports Staff
Aggie fencers will meet Tarleton
College and Rice Institute in a
tri-meet in the MSC Ballroom Sat
urday at eight a. m.
The meet will be divided into
three divisions which will include
foil, epee, and sabre. A separated
match will be held for the fresh
men, said Bob Jones, captain of
the fencing team.
Tarleton College, which is coach
ed by George Beakley, will have
three returning lettermen in ad
dition to twelve new members.
Rice, coached by Harold Van Bus-
kirk, will be at full strength.
Last year the A&M squad de
feated both Rice and Tarleton Col
lege.” We should take them again
this year,” Jones said. “We have
seven returning lettermen and a
good group of freshmen.”
Returning lettermen who will
fence in the meet are Bob Jones,
Ted Fields, Joe Pafford, Wally
Schlather, Bob Braslau, Bill Will-
mann, and Aden Magee.
Other varsity members include
Charlese Tea, Henry King, Jimmy
Pigg, Bill Hucttle, Gus Wulfman,
Bill Hegman, Bob Ruiz, Ben Tol-
bart, Carroll Forester, Arthur
Garner, and Jerry Ramsey.
There will be no admission
charge and sufficient seating ar
rangement has been provided.
Since that tour, however, the
army team has beaten Arkansas,
18-38, and then last Saturday
morning in Denton took a triang
ular with North Texas and SMU.
The Cadets won with 24 points,
North Texas was second with 47
and the Mustang runner^ placed
third with 57 points.
James Blaine, A&M’s defending
Southwest conference champion,
has been leading the Farmers win
ning first in each of the Maroon
and White’s three victories.

course near the dairy bam adja
cent to the railroad tracks adjoin

underway at 4 p. m. Friday.

Aggies enter the confei’ence meet
at Austin, Nov. 21.
The next Friday the Tigers toy
ed with outclassed lola 71-13, with
the two lola scores coming with
B teaem boys in the game.
Navasota bowed to a scrapping
Tiger team 32-13 and the next
game found Consolidated moving
through, over, and around Milano
to the tune of 45-0.
Cypress-Fairbanks also looked
forlorn and unsuccessful for the
Tiger double stripe as they went
down 19-0.
Injuries began to show their
effect on the Consolidated offen
sive as Wallas held them to a 20-6
win.
Crucial Game
The cmcial district game with
Hempstead found both teams scor
ing the first time they had the ball,
Hempstead driving the opening
kick-off and worked the ball across
the goal for the tying score.
