DALLAS, Sept. 29.-Unless one of the seven mentors in the group does something startling. the fight for 1928 honors in the Southwest Conference will be another duel between Southern Methodist and Texas A. & M.
 Despite the loss of their princi- pal players-Joel Hunt, quarter back, and "Siki" Sikes, end-thc Aggies, 1927 champions, appear to have another great machine.
 And the Mustangs, although lacking Gerald Mann, one of the greatest field generals ever seen on the Southwest Conference grid iron, are expected to compare fav- orably with last years outfit.
 Modelling a line to replace the heavy forward wall that paved the way to the 1927 title, is Coach Dana Bibles most difficult task at Texas A. & M. Of the nine men who lettered on the line la j fall. six did not return. In the 4I

Clyde Littlefield has 16 lettered Longhorns. Rufus King, captain, who was kept on the sideline last season because of an injury, is to oe the backbone of the Steers offense. Outside the conference, Texas is preparing for the an- aual battle with Vanderbilt, Oc- tober B, at Dallas.
 The Baylor Bears. after hiber- nation with an abundance of ma terial from the freshman squad, hope to get out of the cellar this year. They were demoralized last season by a grade crossing accident which cost the lives of ten Baylor athletes in January, 1927.
 Twelve letter men returned to Rice to encourage Claude Roth- geb. the new coach. but he sees little reserve strength.
 Prospects at Texas Christian are gloomy. Graduations took a heavy .oll from the fighting eleven which held both the Texas Aggies and the Texas Longhorns to scoreless ties last year. Only seven letter men returned. The heaviest loss of the Horned Frogs was the de- parture of Rags" Matthews, pro- nounced the best end in the his- tory of the conference.
 An interesting sidelight in the Southwest circuit this season VII De the attempt of Centenary Col lege of Shreveport, La, to win it's way to membership. Last year the Gentlemen. as they are called, defeated four Southwest teams, including coutnern Metho- dists, and their admittance to the conference practically is contingent on their showing this year against the Texas Aggies.
