Ing" Coach Douglas Fessenden has
announced that the regulars will

The Indians record to date IS a
VA victory over Corpus Christi. q
fila defeat at the hands OF Main,
and a 1876 defeat inflicted by Roos-

some powerful opposition for the

Associated Press Sports Writer
There are too many high-pow-
cred units in the Southwest confer
ence this season TO prUphesy that
any one game in early November
viii decide the championship, but
Saturdays melee at Austin between
the big green Bears of Baylor and
the Longhorns of Texas University
undoubtedly will be one OF the de-
cisive battles Of the campaign. III
brings together the two schools
that a majority Of critics thought
would have outstanding elevenS.
Texas has more than lived up TO
its promise. while the Bears have
displayed the form expected OF
them only in streaks. The Long
horns will be slight favorites. but
Baylor has an eleven capable OF
whipping any team in the confer
ence II 1t gets a few breaks.
Neither team will need 10 hurry
about clearing off a space in It's
trophy room Just because 1t wins
Saturday. however. Both still have
the little matter Of disposing OF
Texas Christian University ahead
OF them. Scarcely given a thought
BY preseason dopesterS, the Frogs
have played such consistently fine
football that they now rank with
the Bears and LonghornS as title
possibilities. All the ballots will
not be in until they have played
Texas Nov. is at Austin and Bay
Tor the following week at Waco.
Either Of those games might set
tie the question. Again. the win
ner might not be decided until the
big bout Thanksgiving between the
Longhorns and Aggies.
Texas partisans have never quite
forgotten how Baylor helped 6edi-
cate Memorial Stadium, where Sat
urday's game will be played. II was
IN 1924, and Strickland. Plttman,
Ccffey. Coates and other Bruin
StalwartS of that year combined to
trim the Longhorns. 70 to 10. Since
then the Steers have managed TO
win three out of four. including
last years 6 70 0 verdict.
The bout at College Station ap-
pears equally as great a tcSS-up
as that at Austin. Southern Meth
Odist's record for the year looks a
little better than that Of the Ag-
gies, not having a defeat to mar
Il. But the mere fact that Coach
Matty Bells lads have lost three
games does not give an accurate
idea of their strength. In drop
ping those three to Tulane, II. g.
u. and Arkansas the Farmers scor-
ed only 10 fewer points than their
opponents. II. G. u. outplayed the
Cadets and deserved to win, but
the Arkansas and Tulane skirmishes
were lost Oh breaks" that might as
well have gone to the Aggies. AS

gies, 10 TO o. and McMillin's team

have their hands very. very fun,

as air-minded as the Ponies.

FIRE AT coLvAs

Colvos had its share of excite
ment last Saturday morning when
the brooder house of August
Johansen caught fire.
Mr.. Johansen went out to care
for his chicks at about 6 O'Clock
and found the fire out, and oil
dripping from the burner. As he
relighted it the boards ignited un-
derneath the house where the oil
had dripped. In a few minutes
the smoke was terrific.
Central responded promptly to
the request for help and called
the neighbors. In few minutes
practically the whole male popula-
ton of Colyos, and half of Va
shon was there, helping to fight
the fire. They succeeded in get
ting the chickens out immediate
ly, losing only about dozen, and
in short time the fire was out,
with only slight damage done.
