Friday, November 11,. 19.55 S P O R T H O R T s By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Battalion Sports Editor HORN BLOWING DEPT. 20 Right, 6 Wrong, 2 Ties In the game of the week, Texas and TCU tangle in Aus tin to see who’s going to represent the Southwest Conference in the Cotton Bowl. The experts have picked TCU. The Bat talion picks: A&M over Rice SMU over Arkansas TCU over Texas Baylor idle This is November, and November is supposedly Rice’s big month. With five regulars back in running form again, the Owls figure to be plenty tough. Two of the Owl’s all- American candidates, end Marshall Crawford and tackle Ed die Rayburn, will be in their best playing shape of the year. The Aggies haven’t been too impressive in workouts this Aggies Honor Jitterbug At Rice Game Saturday week, but then Rice has look ed great all year in theirs. A&M should take this one by 6 points. Over at Austin, Longhorn rooters have been burning red can dles all week in hopes of ending TCU’s promising Cotton Bowl jour- FRIDAY & SATURDAY “WUTHERIN G HEIGHTS” Lawrence Olivier ney. This should be a test of Texas passing versus TCU ground power. TCU in a close 5 point win. Arkansas’ rugged Rasorbacks move into Dallas this weekend to face the mean and monstrous SMU Mustangs. The Ponies turned in a fine effort against the Aggies last week, despite the 11 point differ ence. Arkansas, of course, tied the Aggies in their meeting at Fayette ville. Arkansas lost to the Mus tangs last year when it won the championship, and we think they will come out short again Saturday. SMU by 7 points.

This will be Neely’s last appearance against the Aggies in the role of head coach—and appropriately enough it’s Jitterbug’s day again. In the 1940 game against Rice Henderson scored one of the most outstanding one-man feats in SWC history. He snared eight straight passes from the arm of Marion Pugh and Marland Jeffrey to defeat a Rice team that had held the great John Kimbrough and the Aggies scoreless in the first half. * Henderson won a total of 14 letters at A&M, the largest number of awards ever gar nered by an Aggie athlete. Today the lean, 6-4, Aggie is confined to Veteran’s Hospital, a victim of multiple sclerosis. As a tribute to one of Aggielaid’s im mortals, the Aggie band will spell out “Jitterbug” at half-time. The Aggies went into a dress re hearsal for Saturday’s battle in huge Rice stadium yesterday. A&M will be out to break the Owls 10 year domination, longest in con ference history. “Our linemen, some of ’e n, have been trying to fool ’em and fancy- dan ’em lately. We can’t fake any body out, we’ve got to get in there and dig ’em out if we expect to move somebody,” said Coach Paul Bryant. “FOR SOME of them the sea son’s over. They just don’t want to get out there and hit anybody, They act like a bunch of guys goin’ steady,” continued Bryant. The Aggies could have their championship hopes blasted in this seemingly cut-and-dried game The Owls, angry over four straight losses and in their best physical condition in a month might reach the heights expected of them be fore the-season started. A sellout crowd of 70,000 is ex pected. The Aggie, with the sec ond best defense in the conference and rated No. 9 in the nation—one notch below Texas Christian—are slight favorites. The Cadets have lost only one game in eight, while Rice has won only two out of sev- ers Take On Tomball Here A&M Consolidated’s Tigers will be trying for their first district win as they close their 1955 season against the Tom ball Cougars tonight at 8 p.m. on Tiger Field. Paced by the fine passing com bination of quarterback Roach to halfback Baker McAdams, who have hit for a touchdown in every game, the Cougars have a 3-4-2 record on the season and are all even in district play with 1-1-1 on the ledger. The Tigers absorbed their worst beating of the season at the hands of the Sealy Tigers, who cinched their second consecutive 25-A crown, 60-21 last week. Sealy crushed Tomball, 53-27 in their meeting. CHS goes in Friday night’s contest with a 0-3 district record and is 1-7- on the year. Starting for Consolidated will be Norman Floeck at left end, Dick Hickman at left tackle, Garland Andrews at left guard, Steadman Davis at center, David McNeely at right guard, Ed Linton at right tackle and Manuel Garcia at right end. In the backfield finds Feldman at quarterback, Bobby Witcher and Kavanaugh at the halfbacks and Jack McNeely at full.
