of 1950 arrived on the campus
recently. It is a cyclorama for
the stage of Behrens Chapel.

On the other hand the Raiders
have crushing ground gains to
their credit. The Raiders have
faced rough competition this
year including five Southwest
conference clubs and has held

tries Tech has picked up a total
of 2546 yards.
Although Tech leads in the
Cowboy-Raider series H-SU has
scored a total of 150 points
against the Raiders while Tech
has amassed 141.
Close - scoring contests have'
been the rule during the series
competition. The widest margin
of victory in the series came in
1929 when H-SU walked away
with a 21-0 win. Tech's worst
lacing of the Cowboys was a 13-0
decision in lyas.
