CLASH HOLDS
FANS EYES
Friday Game Feature Of
Big Football Card in
Southwest.

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 16.-CP Can
the stalwart Texas Aggie forwards
stop the line plunging of Christopher
Cortemaglia, offensive ace of the
s. M. U. Mustangs? That is the ques-
ton perpiexmg Southwest Conference
grid fans as ihey anticipate this weeks
most attractive football program.
The weeks card started with the
Baylor-T. G. u. tie game OF Tuesday.
Friday, the Aggies and Mustangs play,
while four hard-fought contests are
slated for Saturday, when the Trinity
University Tigers, conque-0rs of the
Rice Owls, ineet the Baylor Bears !;
Texas University plays Auburn; the
II. G. U. Horned loads take on the
and the Rice Owls and Arkansas Ra-
zorbatks meet in the third Southwest
Conference tilt of the week.
The Texas A. and MS. NJ u. COM
bat Is being anticipated with such great
interest, because many close followers
of Southwest Conference football b.
lieve the victor will win the 20 cham
pionship. Each eleven has a powerful
line, speedy backs and a splendid
coaching staff. S. NJ. U. probably
has the more dependable aerial attack,
but this advantage may be offset by
the more consistent punting Of Cap
tain ~Mule" Wilson Of the Farmers.
Outcome of the tussle resolves itself
largely into whether Cortemaglia, who
last week ripped his way with. case
through Washington Uniyersity's line.
can achieve the same success against
the fighting Red-and-White forwards.
The Aggie forwards stopped Corte-
maglia last year. This season, how
ever, he is in much better physical
condition and is working back of a
stronger line than the S. NJ. U. line Of
1924.
NO LUCK LATELY.
Aggie supporters feel that their team
is due to win, simply because Of the
poor luck Bibles elevens of the past
three years have had against the Po-
mics. In 1922, the Agges were crush
cd, 17-6 by s. NJ. u; in 1923, the
Mustangs won, 100, and last season
3 the teams played II tie. Too, ,ne
J game will be played on Kyle Field, the
home gridiron of the cadets, and this
J fact should add determination to the
play of the Aggies. sB 80, q
Baylor University, as champion of
the Southwest Conference in 1924, may
be hard put to uphold its organize
TONS prestige when it takes on Coach
Barry Holton's screpping Tigers. After
plucking last Saturday the tail feath-
ers of the Rice Owls, the Tigers are
hungry for bear meat" and will make
great bid for victory over the Baylor
Bruins. ........
Coach Holton is expected to start
the lineup that dealt so much misery
to Rice. This combination is: Ends,
Smith and Thome tackles. Yantis and
Allen: guards, Boggs and Roland CEN

ker; fullback, Schley.

against Rice. Manning, by intercepting
pass and blocking a punt, started
both advances for touchdowns; Whit
akcr slipped through the line for 30
yards on the march for the first touch
down; while Sehley plunged over for
the initial counter and raced 80 yards
for the second touchdown. after grab

TWO STAR CENTERS.
Incidentally, the Bear-Tiger clash

greatest centers of Texas football his
tory, Captain Bear" Walker of Bay

advantages to the best advantage
Coach Matty Bells II. c. U. Horned
Toads will have to display their best
football, if they turn back the Cowboys,

ace of the Cowboys, though he is by
no means the only outstanding player
on the attack.
