WAYNE SCOTT, Sports Editor Syracuse Replaces LSU On College Poll Bowl Bid Certainty In Texas AUSTIN, Tex. (AP)-The only thing that appears anywhere near certain about the Texas - Texas Christian football game here " Saturday . is that it will produce bowl team. . This has been going on for a long time. In the past 18 years 8 bowl team or two has come irom this gridiron battle 14 times. If Texas wins it, the Longhorns will be in the Cotton Bowl. U Texas loses Texas Christian might make the Cotton Bowl or at least some bowl. For that matter Texas might make some other1 bowl, too. . These are the two bowlingest teams in the Southwest Confer ence anyway. TCU has been in 10, Texas eight. TCU has been in the Cotton Bowl more than any body, with six appearances. Texas is second with five. The Texas - Texas Christian game usually is a good one and this one should be no exception. Texas is favored because of its undefeated, untied record. But Texas Christian has a pretty good record itself. The Horned Frogs' have won four straight games and are considered the only outfit in the conference capable of stopping the speed and versatility of Texas. TCU often has been a Texas Nemesis. In 1929 when the Frogs, quarterbacked by Howard Grubbs, "Viow secretary of the Southwest Conference, first won over Texas it was the Longhorn's only loss of the season. It was the same in 1941 and in three years 1932 J941 and 1944 TCU knocked . Texas out of the championship. However, Texas expects to be up lor this one after a poor showing against Baylor. And there's no question of having the people out to see the show. A crowd that may hit 55,000 is anticipated. i' $f Erstwhile Leader ENOS SLAUGHTER . . .

Slaughter played in 2,388 games during his major league career. Last season he notched a .171 bat ting average in 85 games with the Yankees and Braves, mostly in pinch-hitting roles. I don't think any man in base ball has been more successful in hustle, determination nd the will to win," said ' Buff president Marty Marion, ' Slaughter's old teammate with ' the' Cards. Slaughter played in two World Series with the Cards a rookie in twilight days of the old Gas House gang and three with the Yankees! batting .291.
