This will be the opening District 23AA tilt for both of the schools. For the game, Coach Dick Garde- mal is taking a squad of only 22 boys, the smallest Tiger crew of the season, in number. Although the group from Nava sota has lost six in a row, they have improved steadily since the begin ning' of the season, and would like very much to break the losing habit tonight. Probable starters for the Tigers will be as follows: Kenneth Cooner, left end; Pete Rodriguez, left tackle; Bennie Jackson, left guai’d; David McNeely, center; Junius Clark, right g'uard; Lyndon Harper, right tackle; Don Avera, right end; Edgar Feldman, quarterback; Dee Smith, left half; Alton Arnold, right half and Steadman Davis moves from his regular center post to the fullback slot. mbnlf'ijp. 1 ! llrp.

Bryant’s eager crew of grid- ders will hold one more light work out in sweat clothes this after noon, and then depart for Fort Worth to meet the TCU Horned Frogs. The week began slowly for the Aggies, as rain forced them to workout in G. Rollie White Coli seum for the first two days. Fin ally, the rain clouds rolled away and were replaced by some badly- needed sunshine, and the squad did have some very light contact work. The downpour caused indefinite postponement of the Fish-Cub tilt, and the officials were forced to seek another date when the two teams could meet. However, their full schedules may not permit them to play, and the game may be can celled completely. The Farmer starting lineup is only slightly changed, with a shift in the guard personnel. Darrell Brown, senior from Dayton, has moved to the first unit right guard Probable Starting Lineups A&M LE Marks, 88 LT Kreuger, 78 LG Luna, 74 or Howard, 66 C Gilbert, 54 RG Brown, 67 RT Beck, 72 RE Tracey, 80 QB Osborne, 12 LH Crow, 44 FB Gay, 80 RH Taylor, 45 TCU LE Mendoza, 88 LT Miller, 72 LG Carter, 64 C Ozee, 55 RG Groom, 71 RT Robb, 68 RE Nikkei, 85 QB Finney, 40 LH Shofner, 22 FB Dike, 38 RH Lasater, 2,3 slot and either Tommy Howard or Carl Luna will open the game at the other spot. The only doubtful players for the Ags are Roddy Osborne, who injured his knee in the Cougar fray and Carlos Esquivel. Abe Martin’s Froggies are anx iously awaiting the arrival of the Southwest Conference Champs, and for the first time since the season opener against Kansas, senior full back Buddy Dike will return to action. fcfV i-V - -•"L f \ ‘ r> i y* * t / ' ^ v i . . - , • V f L i i* h.<* t.1 ic -u J.J.V n* I# k SlUlsvitM UK,;? ; i .

TEXAS CONVAIR !S a DIVISION op general dynamics corporation Sooners, Spartans, Aggies Fight for Top Team Spot I* ' &f£t ' ~ ■■■rnSmS The Associated Press Purdue’s Jack Mollenkopf, Chuck Mather of Kansas and Abe Martin of Texas Christian may be in for a long, chilly afternoon Saturday even though the weather usually isn’t cold at this stage of the foot ball season. Their teams face the top three in the national ratings and now that the experts have shown they don’t automatically award Oklar homa the No. 1 sppt, the competi tion is terrific. Oklahoma, displaced from the top for only the third time in two years, likely will make the Kansas game a sort of ci’usade to get back, just as the Sooners did last year when they yielded to Michi gan State for just one week. Mich igan State will be scrapping just as head against Purdue to retain its top rating. TCU takes on third-ranked Tex as A&M and Coach Martin’s reply to the suggestion his team might pull an iipset was: “The Aggies are better than Oklahoma.” That might inspire the Aggies to try to prove it. Michigan State’s Spartans went to the top of the heap by routing Michigan 35-6 last Saturday. On the records, Purdue hardly looks like a match even though the Boilermakers gave Minnesota its closest game so far. Kansas, which won by a point over Colo rado and tied TCU, doesn’t appear to be in Oklahoma’s class, either But that’s what was said about Texas last -week and the mighty Sooners had a hard time winning 21-7. Most of the teams ranked in the top ten have difficult assignments. Minnesota, No. 4, visits Illinois, which always is dangerous at homecoming time. Illinois Coach Ray Eliot figures little errors were responsible for defeats by UCLA and Ohio State.
