20. Southwest conference, which insists Its football Is on a par with foot- hall anywhere, sends the University of Texas Longhoros east this weekend to prove it. Tho Longhorns meet Harvard's powerful team Saturday at Cambridge. Three special train loads of Texas rootere will bo there to see it well done. Coached by Clyde Llttlefleld, himself a former star athlete at the school, the Texas eleven cornea east with a record of only two defeats in the lost two seasons, both of them at the bands of Rice Institute and both by tho margin of a single touchdown.

Both were unanimous choices for last year's "All-Southweat" eleven.

At quarterback the Longhorns have Wilson "Bull" Elklns, In many respects counterpart to Barry Wood, Harvard's brilliant field general. Like Wood, he is an all- around athlete, having lettered In football, basketball and track. While these three are the outstanding backfield stars, Coach Littlefleld has four or five others, such as Craig, Clewls, Burr and Fagan who know their way around. The Texas line is made up of strapping fellows who know how to tackle and block. "Ox" Blanton, an all-conference tackle last year, Is a deadly placeklcker.

Harvard may have trouble with its aerial attack, even with the eagle eyed Barry Wood tossing them. Like most of the teams in the southwest, the Longhorns have devoted many an hour to knocking down pasess as a matter ot self preservation.
