RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer It is said that the reaaon the Southwest Conference is ao popu lar in the bowl games is because the teams over the country feel they have a good chance to beat the conference representatives. There also is another' reason. The Southwest Conference is bowl conscious, feels it is good for its teams to play in the big football spectacles and moreover there’s money in it. About a half million dollars per year. The records show that the South west Conference has done abso lutely the worst of any league in More Rebounds Dave Johnson (14), the shortest man on the Aggie basket ball team, brings down a rebound during Tuesday’s Ag-U of H game.

We’ll have one practice, maybe two, to morrow and one more on Friday. This is the first trip to New York for most of our guys and I’m hoping they’ll concentrate on foot ball at least until Saturday. We’ll be here until next Tuesday so there’ll be plenty of time for them to have a good time after the game.” Almost 20,000 tickets have been sold for the new bowl, according to Bob Curran, the game's direc tor.

Since 1957 con ference teams have been in 13 bowl games, lost eight, tied two and won just three. This year the conference will have four teams in bowl games with Baylor starting the campaign this week by playing in the Gotham Bowl at New York. Then will come Rice in the Bluebonnet Bowl at Houston next week, Texas in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas Jan. 1, the same time Arkansas is playing in the Sugar Bowl. What are the prospects of the conference teams making a good showing for a change and getting rid of all this derisive talk over the country, where they say we’re in the bowl games just for the money. This year the conference made a most unusual showing in intersec tional football, winning 13 out of 21 games and tying one. Victories over such worthies as Louisiana State, Pitt, Florida, Kansas and Oklahoma and Texas Christian’s 7-7 tie with mighty Ohio State enhanced the league’s reputation immeasurably. But what did they do against teams that will be playing in the bowl games? First, there’s Missis sippi, which meets Texas in the Cotton Bowl. Mississippi made Arkansas look mighty bad in beat ing it 16-0 and thoroughly domi nating the game. While Rice beat Louisiana State, which will be playing in the Orange Bowl, Louisiana State licked Texas A&M. Rice lost to Georgiy Tech decisively. Georgia Tech will play in the Gator Bowl. Texas Christian lost to UCLA, which will be playing in the Rose Bowl. The record is two victories against bowl teams against four losses. It doesn’t look too good for the conference’s chances in bowl games coming up. Mississippi certainly appears pretty tough for Texas. Kansas, which plays in the Bluebonnet Bowl, might be had by Rice. Arkansas doesn’t figure to beat Alabama, the nation’s No. 1 team, in the Sugar Bowl. Baylor is a tossup against Utah State in the Gotham Bowl. ‘Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cara Sales—Parts—Service ““We Service All Foreign Cars” 11416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517 Sl men recommend it to other men liii Cool, clean Old Spice After Shove lotion always gets you off to a fast, smooth start.
