By WHITEY SAWYER
AfttMM-iated Press Staff Writer
Win or draw Saturday, TCU will
go to the Cotton Bowl New Year’s
Day.
A victory will put the Southwest
Conference championship on ice
for the Horned Frogs. A tie with
Rice would leave the two clubs
tied’for the lead. Then, even if
Rice beat Baylor, its final foe, and
TCU lost to SMU, they’d end up
in a tie and TCU would get the
bowl bid because Rice was there
last year.
If Rice wins, something TCU
Coach Abe Martin is worrying
about, what happens the final
week will decide the champion.
