FROGS, BRUINS
ARE TO BATTLE


WACO. Oct. 30.-N0t only will
two OF the Southwest's oldest ana
bitterest grid units be matched when
the Texas Christian Horned Frogs
and the Baylor university Bears
renew their annual argument OH
Carroll field Saturday afternoon
before a capacity Homecoming
crowd. but two Of the three I'M
beaten teams Of the Southwest con-
ference will loosen their fun bag
OF tricks as both the Frog team
and the Bruin eleven endeavor To
keep their clean record unmarried.
While the ToadS are generally
conceded the edge owe the Grizzly
team. the records Of each team are
remarkably similar. Each team has
won four non-conference contests,
and each has won two conference
tits. The Frogs beat the Arkansas
Razorbacks 1877. while the Bruins
whipped that Hog team 1876. The
Meyermen took a rough battle from
the Aggies 1914. and the Baylor
machine out : raced the Farmers
1876. However. the Bruins were
never scored upon in non-confer-
ence competition.
Saturdays contest promises many
thrills for the grid fans Of Central
Texas and for those who follow the
Toads from the IT. Worth territory.
Both teams are strongest on the
offense when using the aerial
route. Last weeks results especially
proved the strength OF each team
III the air. Baylor scored both her
tallies through the air. and regis
tered another which was ruled void
because the receiver was I'VE the
end zone, while the Christians
passed their way down the field
for four touchdowns 70 whip the
Centenary Gentlemen 27-7.
The Bruins boast Of q well-knit
defense, having been scored upon
only twice this year. while their
pass defense Is looked upon as one
OF the most effective In the con-
ference.
