While the Southern Methodists
Mustangs have not shown the stuff'
this year that they have to years
past in a football way, it is expected
that the Mustangs will give the
Christian University Frogs a hard
run for the money in their annual
clash which will be played in Dal-
las this coming Saturday. The Meth-
odists have had hard sledding since
their Fordham game, which seem-
ingly was the very best account of
themselves they have made;'They
clearly outplayed Fordham, tho they
lost, one of the very strongest teams
in the entire country. Since then
they haven't done at all well, while
TCU has been up and going places
and at this time seems headed for
the championship of the South-
western Conference. Regardless of
the apparent strength and weakness,
the game Saturday, Roundabout
predicts, will be a close and hard-
fought game, which many Denton
. „ people will see in Dallas at Ownby
Stadium.
