HOUSTON, Aug. 28. (UP)—
Texas sport- writers say Texas
V will win the Southwestern
Conference hut the job won't be
a breeze.
One reason, tliey tell the
United Press, is that Texas
A and M is ficlling a modest
little squad of 4:t lctteriucu.
Coach Homer Norton of the
Aggie believes he has some pret-
ty good bovs but he'd be the last
to make any predictions about
the conference winner or indi-
vidual stars.

tackles in the country in Monte
Moncrief and Leonard Dickey."

may have a tackle better than

Coach Jess Neel.v's team—up-
setter of Texas two years run-
j ning—is expected to be the fast-
i est charging outfit in the South-
west. It will be sparked by two
good guards. H. .1. Nichols and
Weldon Humble.
i Neely, with 3f> lettermen and
the best crop of freshmen in
Texas, admits he'll have the

ARLINGTON Aug. 29 —(U.R)—
It's hard enough to ride a dry-
