Ags in Good Shape
With the exception of a heavy
sprinkling of bumps and bruises,
the Aggies came out of the Baylor
game in good shape. Guard Sid
Theriot suffered a cut on the fore
head.
The case of sophomore end Don
ald Robbins will be brought up at
the meeting of the Southwest Con

promising end who was sidelined
with an injury last year, too, broke

TCU’s Malvin-Fowler was grant
ed another year of eligibility after
being hurt in the first four minutes
of his first college game. He had to
miss TCU’s 1953 season opener, but
was able to play the remainer of
the ’53 season.
At least five touchdowns have
been scored in every A&M-Ark-
ansas game since 1946.
The situation in 1951 was very
similar to that of this year. The
Razorbacks had lost an interscc-
tional game the weekend before,
while A&M liad tied Baylor 21-21,
in a thriller and still had a chance
for the conference title. The arous
ed Hogs blasted A&M’s last hopes
with a 33-21 victory.
ROLLING ALONG — Baylor halfback Jerry Goody (44) bulls over from the Aggie 11-

J. Paw! Slieedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil
Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
"Safari as I’m concerned” said Sheedy’s gal, "your hair looks like some
thing the cat dragged in. Purrhaps you better spring for some Wildroot
Cream-Oil, America’s favorite hair tonic. Keeps hair combed without
greasiness. Removes loose, ugly dandruff. Relieves an
noying dryness. Contains Lanolin. Non-alcoholic.” So
Sheedy roared down to his druggist for Wildroot
Cream-Oil, and now he’s feline mighty fine. All the girls
paws and stare when he passes. So you better leopard on
the bandwagon and try Wildroot Cream-Oil right meow.
Scratch up 29( for a bottle or handy tube at any toilet
goods counter. And ask your barber for some Wildroot
Cream-Oil on your hair.Then you’ll be the cat’s whiskers!
