The Baylor Bears, three times beat.
en- this fall but still capable Of come
backs, are expected to play their great.
est game of the season against the
Steers this weekend, as they always
do.
The Bear-Longhorn game is as little
subject to dope as the Steer-Aggie
tussle, and Stewards charges will
have to play a game greatly improved
over what they showed against s. ".
U. to win.
The conference rule that tie game
counts as a half game lost has set
the Longhorns back a step in the con-
ference race. BY reason of their tie
with the Mustangs they are now near
ly full game behind the Aggies. who
have won from Baylor and s. NJ. II.
To win the title the Steers must take
both the Baylor and the A. and NJ.
games unless T.. @. u. and the Aggies,
now the only other undefeated teams.
falter considerably between now and
Thanksgiving.
PASSING GAME FAILS.
The almost complete failure of the
aerial game of the Longhorns last
week indicated that the Steers are not
as proficient in that form Of play as
had been thought. Much work must
be done along that line this week if it
is to be a material factor in gaining
against Baylor.
Steer followers are anxiously await
ing classroom developments to find out
whether the team will be "all shot
for Saturday through scholastic inelig-
ibi1ity of stars. Ike Sewel, Basil
Penney and Gerald Coffey, two ot
them first-string mainstays, were de-
clared ineligible yesterday and seem to
have little chance of getting reinstate-
ment in time for the game. Maurice
Stallter, regular halfback, must pass
an examination TO be eligible.
HOMA AT GUARD.
Penney's guard will be taken by
Bob Homa, come what might, but NIL
ing the other positions is more dltti-
cult. although Johnny Estes will make
an acceptable substitute for Stallter.
