RATLIFF Texas Associated Press Sports Editor Texas isn’t as big as Alaska and it also doesn’t have as much col lege football as two other states. This isn’t said in a deflationary way but introduces the subject at hand—just how much college foot ball will the state have come fall. In Texas there will be 33 senior colleges playing the game. That’s 18 fewer than the state of Penn sylvania and two under Ohio. There has been no decrease in college football as compared to last year. Texas colleges are in five conferences —.the Southwest, Border, Lone Star, Missouri Valley and Southwestern (Negro). Here will be the line up next fall: Southwest Conference — Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Christ ian, Rice, Southern Methodist. Tex as Tech is in the Southwest Con ference but won’t compete for the championship until 1960. Border Conference—West Texas State, Hardin-Simmons, Texas Western. Missouri Valley Conference—Un iversity of Houston, North Texas State. Lone Star Conference — Sam Houston State, Texas A&I, South west Texas State, Howard Payne, Lamar Tech, East Texas State, Sul Ross, Stephen F. Austin. Southwestern Conference — Wi ley, Texas Southern, Prairie View, Texas College.
