Leading Passer To Face Aggies In Georgia Tilt The Aggies will face one of the nation’s outstanding passers in Zeke Bratkowski when the Cadets and Georgia’s Bulldogs square off in the Dallas Cotton Dowl Satur day night, Oct. 3. “The Brat” brought the Bull dogs from two touchdowns be hind against Villanova Saturday to give Wally Butts’ force's a win. Bratkowski holds two Southeas tern conference aerial records and is shooting for three all-time col legiate works this season. Butts says the Georgia star has not yet reached his peak and “we expect him to have his banner season this year.” The Aggie-Georgia game is the first of the year in the huge Cot ton Bowl and will be the only night game in Texas that weekend. SMU plays Georgia Tech in Atlanta, the night before (Oct. 2). , v v HALFBACK TOM BAILES—This hard-running - 200 pound junior gives the University of Houston a potent one-two punch.

Agriculture Information Center to Open The formal opening of the Agriculture Information cen ter will be within six weeks, according to Ted Mises, di rector. The new center will coordinate agricultural information in the A &M system and place all informa tion offices under one roof. It will take over the duties and facilities of the publication office of the agricultural experiment station and the editorial office of the agri cultural extension service, with the mailing rooms of both services. Also, certain information from the School of Agriculture will be handled through the information center. The old horse barn, south of the system administration building, has been renovated at a cost of $64,000 to house the offices. The center employs about 15 stu dents part-time. THRILL PACKED PAYS! !

The Cougars will be making first game mistakes, while the Aggies have the experience of a game behind them, plus the morale boost of a victory. Since Houston has so much heft in their front line, we feel that Don Ellis will spread them out with end sweeps, then run quick openers through them. Then perhaps a few short passes to loosen them up again. He’s a smart quarter back who will make the most of his opportunities. Nine Stations Ready Humble To Air Aggie Game With only two of Texas’ South west conference teams scheduled for play this week-end, listeners to football radio broadcasts Satui’day can hear accounts of both intersec tional games, the night football battle between A&M and the Uni versity of Houston at College Sta tion, and the afternoon gridion ■fight between Texas U. and Vil lanova at Austin. Listeners of West Texas stations can hear a running account of the Texas Tech-Texas Western game, also scheduled for night play. Beginning at 1:50 Saturday afternoon, announcers Kern Tips and Alic Chesser will describe the play-by-play and halftime activities of the Texas-Villanova game from Memorial stadium in Austin. This broadcast will be carried by sta tions KRLD, Dallas; KTRH, Hous ton; KABC, San Antonio; KEYS, Vorpus Christi; KWFT, Wichita Falls; RGBS, Harlingen; KGKB, Tyler; KCMC, Texarkana; KTBC, Austin and KRBC, Abilene. At 8 p. m. Saturday, announcers Ves Box and Bob Walker team up behind the microphones to present an accurate description of the A& M - University of Houston game over stations KPRC, Houston; WF AA-WBAP-820, Dallas-Ft. Worth; WOAI, San Antonio; KFDX, Wichita Falls; KFDM, Beaumont; KRIS, Corpus Christi; KRGV, Weslaco; KTBB, Tyler and KORA, Bryan.

Knuse, ’49, sent a newspaper clipping from the Sept. 18 issue of the Oklahoma City Daily Ok lahoman in which Dr. George L. Cross, president of the University of Okla homa, gives his reasons for staying in the Big Sev en conference. One reason is that Southwest conference foot ball is much tougher than Big Seven ball. “We have a better chance to retain national prominence if we play at least some of the time with less formidable teams,” Dr. Cross said, which is a careless thing to say in the vicinity of an Aggie. “These ‘Okies’ are just like a catfish—all mouth. They are afraid of the Southwest confer ence,” Knuse writes. A time clock which flashes minutes and seconds to play in each quarter, is a new addition to TCU’s Amon Carter stadium. Replacing - the old clock with its massive hands which most fans had trouble reading, the new clock is part of their stadium improvement program. The stadium, with 4,700 newly added seats, now has a capacity of 37,000. Texas University has an admirable home field rec ord against intersectional opposition having won, 10 of 12 contests since Me morial stadium was com pleted. Only losses were to Notre Dame last year and to Oklahoma A&M in 1944. Their intersectional rec ord on the road, however, took a slight dip last Sat urday when LSU thumped the Longhorns 20-7.
