With Southern Methodist’s un

Austin tonight in a game that could

The Aggies, currently fifth in
SWC standings with a 3-8 mark,
end their season tonight as do the
Steers. Texas is only one game
in front of the Cadets with a 4-7
record, and rests in fourth posi
tion.
Austin, long a nemesis for Ag

has been very impressive in its
last few outings. Last Saturday
night at Austin the Steers

the record set by SMU’s Jim

The Aggies haven’t beaten Texas
in Gregory Gym since 1951, and
