the best team till yet. And further
more, they will probably play thir-
ty-six more games, and still the
fans will be arguing about whether
the Texas Aggies or the Texas
Longhorns reign supreme in this
little football feud that has grown
traditional since 1894. And there is
plenty OF room for argument. for
these two teams may play through
a season in which they are both
indicated or In which they fail
to win enough games to be called
a winning team, and still when
Turkey Day rolls around you will
find two teams so evenly matched
that the game is likely to be the
best OF the Southwest Season.
IN TIE matter OF games won
and lost. Texas has a wide margin
Of superiority. with % wins and
three tie games. A. e. NJ. has won
IL games from the Longhorns. In
the modern series. however. dating
from the beginning OF the South
west conference in 1915. the teams
are at an exact stand-off. each
having credit for wins. and
n game having ended in a score
less tie. With the exceptions OF
1922. when the Aggies beat Texas
at Austin and in 1923. when Texas
beat the Aggies on Kyle field. there
have been no victories scored BY
the invading team IN modern
times.
