Wednesday evening for Austin. II

championship. In the las. event.
Austin will have TO come here for
the deciding game.
Looking to higher things, VAL

championship. This Is a marked
distinction and an honor. 1t would
mean that the Eagles were one Of
the eight best teams in the largest
state in the Union. And IL has been

to be the only regular out OF the

Austin viii probably set the same

HORNED FROGS

Fl. WORTH, Nov. 21-The Texas
Christian University Horned Frogs,
jubilant over their victory against
the Longhorns, have nevertheless
resolutely re-entered the proSaic-
training grind. in preparation for
next Saturdays game with the Bay
Tor Gears.
Coach Francis Schmidt and his
men r not fooled by the score Of
the S. M U.-Baylor contest last Sat-
urday. They realize that the Mus
tangs scored three of their touch
downs in five minutes on passes.
and that the Bears were not over
Swallowed as much as the score
might indicate.

in good shape BY Saturday.
The showing of Austin Griffith
