tory to the Tigers The forward pass
was much in evidence, both teams hav-
ing several plays worked around it, but
il was the work Of the Tigers with the

On the basis Of comparative scores, d
many Of the local high school students 3
are figuring that the Tigers now rank I
better than any other team IN the d
southwest They point out that the
New Mexico Aggies. claimants Of the .
championship hOnOrs, beat Arizona by /
but TO 0, while the NOrmals defeated
the ArizOnaus 2 TO o. This would rate
the NOrmals quite as high as the Ag-
gies and if the Tigers could beat the
Normals. they would rank better than
the Aggies-
InterschOIaStfc Champions.
Those who advance this argument
overlook the fact that the team which
represented the New Mexico Normal
school on Saturday was not the same
as that which beat Arizona True, sew

the Silver City institution had defeat
ed the Tigers up there and looked upon
the game here as soft" And then, too.

The Fl PasO Tigers are entitled TO the
interscholastic championship of the
southwest. but they are hardly equal -
the task of taking care Of the inter
collegiate hOnors- The team is a good
one and is deserving Of every credit and
efforts should be made TO get the Ii
gers into the series for the Texas
