Oklahoma over Oklahoma as they like. si ffr 7 7 JP BY FRED WILLIAMS The Statesman Sports Editor The biggest crowd in University of Texas football history will watch the annual Thanksgiving Day game between the Longhorns and the Texas Aggies in Memorial Stadium Thursday. By the 2 p. m.

kickoff time, the stadium will be packed with more than 66,000 fans while untold thousands more will watch the two ancient rivals battle via television. BOTH THE NEW local station, KTBC-TV and WOAI-TV of San Antonio, will telecast the game. The weatherman is predicting a "i more critical clients) we may be forgiven a slight chuckle over the dilly that Harold (Double double a) Claassen, the AP football picker out of New York, dallied around with In his weekly predictions Tuesday. "Texas," wrote Mr, Claassen, "over Texas Tech: Only Notre Dame and LSU have been able to' handle the Longhorns." Shortly the wires sizzled with a "correction," like this: "Texas ovef Texas Tech: Longhorns shouldn't have much difficulty here in a warmup for their Cotton Bowl test Jan. 1 against Tennessee." The Longhorns will be glad to know they don't have to play Texas Thursday, and also that Oklahoma didn't beat them tthe Steers have been laboring with an inferiority complex ever since the Sooners wrapped them around the goal posts at Dallas that day).

LSU's Tigers can straighten their shoulders and look the world in the eye again, now that they have learned that they "handled" the Longhorns, like Notre Dame. But Mr. Claassen is going to be in bad with the Aggies: they don't like to feel that they're supposed to furnish a mere "warmup" for clear and cold "good football weather" afternoon in the game which will wind up regular season play for the Steers and Aggies. Texas, however, has already clinched the host role in the Cotton Bowl New -MM-'-! imMm -mlT- Year's Day against visiting Tennessee by virtue of five consecutive Southwest Con5erer.ce victories. In this game where odds are quite often unceremoniously tossed away, the Longhorns are rated seven to 13 points over the Cadets.

Texas Thursday. MAXWELL IX Pregame excitement was roaring in like a blue Norther Wednesday as Texas students scheduled a mid-afternoon parade down Congress Avenue, set another torchlight parade in the University area at nightfall, to be followed by a pep rally and then the annual bonfire session on Freshman Field. The Aggies had begun arriving for this, their biggest game of the BY BILL BRAMMER Back in, 1894 that's way back in the hoary days of the celluloid collar and mustache wax and the use of the foot in football the University boys and the College team engaged in gridiron combat. It was a notable game, the second in history and the first of the '94 season for Texas. The University boys were veterans at this stuff.

They played their first game in 1893 and won four straight that season. THE AGGIES CAME to town riding the crest of a one-game winning streak. They had overwhelmed Ball High School, 14-6, earlier in the season. After the game of '94, the Aggies evidently adopted a de-emphasis plan. They refused to field a team in 1895.

But the boys from the Brazos River bottoms came back strong in '96, battling Ball High to a 0-0 deadlock, losing to TCU, 30-6, and winning over Austin College, 4-0. In '98, played a magnificent schedule, thundering past Houston High School, 43-0, in the opening game. Then the Aggies lost to Texas and Houston High before vanquish FILM FOR year, just as it is season after sea THANKSGIVING dust like so majiy ten pins being knocked down, "Our boys were the quicker, knew more about the tactics, and never made a bobble during the whole game. The College captain is evidently a Populist, judging from the way he counts his numbers. He takes, them way up in the billions, and a man could walk up and down the gridiron several times before he gets through his count.

It is a great wonder that he does not confuse his men more than he does, by the large size numbers he so lustily sung out. "The game, as was before stated, belonged to the 'Varsity boys from the start and the crowd was not much surprised at the score standing 38-0. (Note: It may now ba safely assumed that Texas won the game, 38-0, and the 'Varsity boys had everything coming their way.) "The Collage boys showed wonderful pluck, however, in sticking to their colors, and had it not been that they were physically unable to cope with the giants of the 'Varsity team, they would have stood a better showing for scoring.
