games this week as the circuit
enters the final lap leading to the
Cotton Bowl.
Rice plays Kentucky in the only
intersectional game of the week
end.
Here are this week’s predictions:
A&M over Arkansas, 21-13.
Baylor over TCU, 27-13.
SMU over Texas, 21-17.
Rice over Kentucky, 28-20.
The Razorbacks are a pretty
good football team with a poor re
cord. Under new coach Bowden
Wyatt and his version of the
single wing, this was looked upon
as an up-and-coming year for the
Hogs.
McHan ‘Great’
In Lamar McHan, Arkansas has
what Aggie coach Ray George calls
“a fine player and a great triple
threat back.” McHan is second in
the conference in total offense, se

turns, third in passing and fourth
in rushing.
A&M’s defense should be strong
enough to check the Hogs, and
Don Ellis should advance up the
ladder toward national prominence.
A solid win for the Aggies as
they bounce back.
Baylor, riding high after last
week’s win over A&M, is now the
choice of many for the SWC title.
TCU is in the middle of one of its
most dismal seasons. Mai Fowler
may miss the game with an injured
back.
Baylor Offense
Baylor’s offense will be too much
for a Toad defense that is the
worst in the conference, statistic
ally.
The Longhorns will be fighting
for survival in the league race
in Dallas. It’s been 1949*since Tex
as has lost two conference games
in a row, but the string is due to
be broken Saturday.
The back-to-the-wall situation
facing the Steers will make it a
down-to-the-wire contest.
The Rice-Kentucky game brings
together Kosse Johnson and Steve
Meilinger, two of the outstanding
backs in the South.
The Owls have been having
quarterback trouble, like Texas, but
with Johnson’s running and a
polished, hard-hitting line should
have enough to defeat the Wildcats.
Ag Home Attendance
Shows 1953 Increase
A&M football attendance for
1953 home games will show a de
cided increase over the 1952
figures, said Barlow (Bones) Irvin,
athletic director.
Home game attendance for three
games is up 20,000 over last year’s
figures, according to an Associated
Press story Thursday. However,
the Aggies have played only two
home games, Houston and Baylor.
These figures are not correct, al
though there has been an increase
in home attendance said Irvin.
Attendance for 1953 home games
will be greater than last year’s
total, because of increased interest
caused by the team’s suprising
start and a more attractive sched
ule, he said.
The total of all Aggie games will
probably# fall short of last year’s
total due to the schedule arrange
ment, Irvin added.
Last year A&M played Uni
versity of Houston, SMU, Baylor
and Texas, the four biggest draw-
Pistol Team Fires
With Bryan Police
A&M’s pistol team will fire its
first shoulder to shoulder match
with the Bryan police at 3 p. m.
today at the rifle and pistol range
under Kyle Field.
The five team members that will
fire today will be those who hold
the highest individual scores.
Three pistol matches have been
scheduled with Colorado Univer
sity, U. S. Coast Guard Academy
and LT. S. Merchant Marines. These
matches will be fired in the near
future but no definite dates have
been set year.
Unknown Ag Fencers
Rate in Area’s Rest
A&M can boast of one of the
finest fencing teams in the South
west.
With seven returning letter-
winners and several other ex
perienced men the Aggies have
beaten Texas Tech and Tarleton
State College.
The fact that a Southwest con
ference fencing meet is scheduled
in May for the first time in several
years has been a big incentive.
All conference schools except Bay
lor and Arkansas will enter.
Braslau, Wulfman Captains
Bob Braslau, captain of the team
with Gus Wulfman, is especially
enthusiastic of the team’s chances.
“We should take the conference
without too much trouble, he said.
“We’ve got more depth and ex
perience than any other team in
the conference, and along with it
we’ve got a strong will to win.”
Braslau expects the strongest
competition from Texas and names
TCU and SMU as dark-horses.
A&M’s fencers gain experience
through their competition in the
American Amateur Fencer’s Lea
gue.
Individual team members com
pete in preparatory, novice, inter
mediate, junior or senior class,
according to experience.
Weapons used are foil, saber and
epee.

Aggie Harriers
Meet Mustangs
Here Monday
A&M’s undefeated cross-country
team will meet SMU here in a dual
meet Monday afternoon.
Jim Blaine, Southwest con
ference cross-country and two mile
champ, has the best chance to take
first place. He has copped first in
every meet this season.
Verlon Westmoreland has im
proved greatly since the season’s
opening. He finished behind Blaine
in the meet with Texas last Friday.
Lenroy Lowe is SMU’s top man.
He was first in a meet with Texas
earlier in the season.
The showings of Frank Whit-
well have been one of the season’s
surprises for the Aggies. He was
sixth on the squad last year but is
now third after consistently good
races this year.
Dale DeRouen, defending SWC
mile champ and second in cross
country last year, has been slowed

There are still a few track and

crowd of about 41,000.

game.
