CONFERENCE STANDING Team Games Won Lost Pet. Texas Tex. A&M Rice SMU Baylor TCU But if the Longhorns do hap pen to lose one game to the tough Ponies and the Aggies manage to scrape by the Owls the Farmers will be a half game ahead of the Steers. Texas has played one less game than the Aggies and the Owls but they, like A&M, can’t make up those games they missed because of inclement weather unless it has direct bearing on the final stand ings of the- SWC. The Aggies have missed only one conference game this season, that being to the Baylor Bears, a team they dropped in two previous meetings.
