i S PORT L A N T s By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Editor Football is on the wane, but the big - ones are yet to be played. All over the nation the teams are fighting for bowl bids, and with A&M out as host team in the 1957 Cotton Bowl, no conference is more wide open than the Southwest as far as post-season representatives for the extra cash is concerned. TCU looks like a shoe-in for the Cotton Bowl with Baylor receiving bids to the Sugar and Orange games. The Frog gies would have to lose both their final games^—with Rice and SMU—for anyone else to squeeze in. Texas, Arkansas and Rice are out of contention, but should TCU lose a pair (very unlikely) and Baylor lose to SMU while the Mustangs win two, the Dallas school would stay right at home in the Cotton Bowl. Saturday’s schedule finds Baylor at SMU, TCU at Rice and Arkansas against LSU in Shreveport. For the first time since the first week of the season, I hit all guesses last week (although the Aggies let me down by not con tinuing the rout of Rice in the second half) and the record now stands at 27-10-1. Here they are for Saturday: TCU 26 — RICE 14 BAYLOR 21 — SMU 7 ARKANSAS 20 — LSU 13 With Jim Swink back in form the Horned Frogs are beginning to look like the team they are supposed to be. Coach Abe Martin’s Purple are already counting their sec ond consecutive Cotton Bowl loot and neither the Owls nor the Mustangs next week will be able to stop them.

Because of his busy sche dule Bryant jots down the list and leaves it by the phone for his wife or son, Paul Jr., to read to UP when they call for the ratings. Bryant had picked his Ag gies third, but when Mrs. Bry ant read off the list to UP, the rating was altered with A&M on top. The Bear suspects either his wife or 11-year-old son had something to do with the pick.

A&M’s other two regular half backs, Loyd Taylor and Don Wat son, were not suited up, however, but will probably be back in har ness today, Second-line center John Gilbert also was in sweat clothes after a second-quarter in jury against Rice. “I thought we had a real good practice today,” commented a seemingdy satisfied Coach Paul Bryant after the second long work out of the week. After their poor defensive show ing in the second half of the Rice game, the Cadets put in an exten sive tackling drill—hoping to con tain the Longhorns backs better on the Memorial Stadium turf than their predecessors have. Expecting the worst (besides the Texas jinx) from the down-trodden Steers, Bryant worked his team on all types of offenses with an eye on stopping the combined tal ents of Walter Fondren and Joe Clements. Fondren, a leader in most of the statistical departments of the con ference, is Texas’ Mr. Do-Every- thing while Clements ranks among the nation’s top passers and stands second in the league. Fondren tops the Steers in scor ing,, ground gaining, punting, punt A SWC Standings returns, kick off returns and pass receiving. The Houston junior has scored 38 points — on five touchdowns and eight extra points —gained 438 yards in 108 carries, owns a 35.6 punting average on 39 kicks (the most punts by any individual) an 8.4 average on nine punt runbacks and a 18.8 yard av erage on 15 kick off returns. Sir Walter has caught 19 passes for 277 yards and two touchdowns, good enough for third in the SWC. SEASON STANDING Team—• Texas A and M Baylor Arkansas Texas Christian Southern Meth.
