This is the Week of Decision for
Southwest conference football
teams.
Four teams now have a good
chance for the conference title, but
the list will be cut to two if this
week’s games go as predicted.

Texas and SMU face elimination
from the race, and if they win Bay
lor and Rice will be favored to bat
tle it out for the championship.
After Saturday, the schedule
gives the Owls the advantage. Rice
gets A&M and Baylor at home and
plays weak TCU in Fort Worth.
Baylor meets SMU and University
of Houston in Waco. The Nov. 28
meeting in Houston with Rice
would decide the title if games
go as doped.
But enough stalling. Here are

A&M over SMU, 21-14.
Baylor over Texas, 27-21.
Rice over Arkansas, 28-13.
TCU over Washing-ton State,
20-7.
The big question mark of the
Aggie game is how will the team
come back after last week’s 41-14
loss to Arkansas.
Due for Letdown
The Cadets were due for a big
letdown after winning five of
six games. Every team usually
plays one game a season in which
nothing goes right, arid the Aggies
now have played theirs’.
A&M had one of its best work
outs of the season Monday, indicat
ing that the team has the right
mental attitude. The Aggies have
shown they are a good football
team. Playing at home again, with
the Mustangs hurt by injuries to
key players, A&M will prove that
their season record is no “fluke.”
SMU will have Frank Eidom,
Roy Pace and Don Mcllhenny,
three outstanding runners, to re
place injured Jerry Norton. Norton
probably will see some action, how
ever.
Ellis in Groove
With Don Ellis again back in the
throwing groove, the Aggies will
play one of their best games of the
season and will come through with
another victory in a thrill-packed
football season.
The Baylor-Texas game is one
of the most important of the sea
son. The Steers have to win to
maintain a chance for the champ
ionship. Their high-powered back-
field gives the Bruins an edge
which won’t be off set by a hard-
charging Texas defensive line.
Baylor may have trouble pass
ing, since Gilmer Spring and Car-
leton Massey are about the two
best in the conference at rushing
the passer. But why should Baylor
pass with a backfield of i-unners
like Jerry Goody, L. G. Dupre and
Allen Jones?
Owls in Top Form
Arkansas has never beaten Rice
in Houston, and the Owls figure
to be in top form after an incident
al loss to Kentucky last week.
The Razorbacks reached their
season peak against the Aggies,
but Lamar McHan will give Rice
lots of trouble. The Owl ground
game, headed by Kosse Johnson,
and a smooth line gives Rice too
much of an edge.
TCU, in the midst of one of its
worst seasons, travels to the
Northwest to meet a weak Wash
ington State team. State has lost
four of seven games but has a fine
passing attack built around Bob
Burkhart and end Howard Mc-
Cants, 6 feet, 8, 230 pounds.
The Frogs figure to break their
five game losing string by a
solid margin.

A&M Harriers
Meet Cowpokes
Here Monday
^ iC*~*T T. .T~- muwljw
TheAggie’s perfect 1953 cross
country record probably will be
broken Monday, said Colonel Frank
Anderson, A&M track coach.
The Cadets will face Oklahoma
A&M here Monday at 3:45 p. m.
The Cowpoke’s two European
runners, Frederick Eckhoff of Nor
way and Sture Lundquist of
Sweden, have never lost to the
Aggies and are expected to main
tain their record. Lundquist was
a member- of the Swedish Olym
pic team in 1952.
James Blaine, star Aggie har
rier who broke' his own course re
cord this week,, is in fine shape.
Anderson expects him to give the
Cowpokes a good race. Blaine’s
new record time over the 2.6 mile
course was 11:41, 15 seconds bet
ter than the record he set last
fall. Blaine has finished first in
all four Aggie meets.
The loss of Dale DeRouen, an
other ace Cadet harrier, has hurt
the Aggies a great deal, said
Anderson. If De Rouen was avail
able, Aggie chances against the
Cowpokes would be much better,
said Anderson. De Rouen has a
foot injury.
The Cadets now have beaten
Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and
SMU. After the Oklahoma A&M
meet, they will face Texas here
Nov. 13. They will compete in the
Southwest conference meet in
Waco Nov. 23.
By ROBERT BROWN
Battalion News Writer
When the two platoon system
in college football was killed, sports
pages almost forgot the all-im
portant relief men who play such
a vital part in every game.
Such is the case with Louis
(Louie) Capt, senior relief guard
for the Aggies.
Capt was a first string de
fensive guard on last year’s A&M
squad, but the new rule edged him
off the starting eleven. However,
he is still the team’s No. 3 guard
and is seeing plenty of action this
season.
Played 175 Minutes
Because of his role as a relief
player, few spectators or sports
writers know when Capt is in the
game. But statistics show that in
the seven games played by the Ag
gies this season, Capt has compiled
175 minutes of playing time.
The fact that he is seldom notic
ed while in the game is tribute to
Capt.. The opposition makes little
yardage through the middle while
starters Marvin Tate and Sid
Theriot are in the lineup. They
don’t gain any more through this
section when Capt is in action.
A native of Uvalde, Capt came
to A&M in 1950 on a four year
scholarship. In high school he was
an all-round athlete, earning let
ters in football, basketball, track
and baseball. The 21-year-old
won his first letter with the Ag-
fies last season.
Distinguished Student
Capt is as much at home with
the books as with a football. An
animal husbandry major, he has
been a distinguished student two
semesters and is maintaining a
1.9 overall grade point ratio.
He is president of the Southwest
Texas A&M club and is a member
of the Saddle and Sirloin club and
the Senior Court.
Ag Killers Go After
Third Straight Win
The unbeaten A&M rifle team
Saturday will match its marks
men against Southern Methodist
university at the A&M rifle range
at 8:30 a. m.
The Cadet squad, led by high
point man Howard Mims, will be
going for its third straight win of
the season. They have outpointed
Baylor and TCU in previous meets.
Guy Andrews, team business
manager, urged all team members
to be on time for the match.
