Friday, October 28, 1955 THE BATTALION Page 3 s P O H O R T R T s By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Battalion Sports Editor Prediction Record (15 right, 5 wrong, 1 tie) This is a weekend of decision in the Southwest Conference. Three cruicial league tests highlight Sat urday’s action, and all will have a definite bearing on the final out come of the title race. This week’s choices: A&M over Arkansas TCU over Baylor SMU over Texas Kentucky over Rice The champion and the top chal lenger face each other in the Fay etteville hills tomorrow afternoon in what promises to be the game of the day. A&M, currently pac ing the SWC race, needs this win to stay on top of the turbulent title picture, and the Porkers must win Saturday, or count themselves out for good this season. Arkansas, with 22 returning let- termen from last year’s Cotton Bowl game, has improved every game under the careful guidance of Coach Jack Mitchell. Look for a tight battle, with A&M taking it by 7 points. Baylor, after being “purged” by George Sauer as an aftermath to losing to A&M, 7-19, tries to get its forces ready for tough TCU. TCU, back on the winning trail against Miami last week, should be primed for the Bruins. TCU by 13 points. (If the Bears lose again, it’s rumored that Sauer may fire his entire team.) The Cotton Bowl opens its huge doors for the SMU-Texas clash Saturday in a game that can be as close as last year’s thrilling IS IS tie at Austin. SMU opened the SWC race against Rice and won 20-0. Texas played the Owls a week later and trounced them 32- 14. Either team could easily win, but we’ll go with the Mustangs, SMU by 6. Rice’s stumbling Owls journey to Lexington, Ky., for a game with the rugged Kentucky Wildcats. The Wildcats upset the favored Owls in 1953, 19-13, and are always strong at home. Kentucky should win by 8 points. ESPECIALLY FOR YOU A full year’s subscription to any one of these three great weekly magazines at these reduced prices . . . for college students only.
