Hit Aggies Face Deep Losses If Draft Hits SWC
A UPI survey notes conscription could remove about one third of Southwest Conference football players. The Texas A&M Aggies would lose thirty of fifty six listed, including regulars Himbrough Robnett and many stars from Arkansas, SMU, TCU, and Texas. Several guards, centers, and backs would be unavailable, thinning the conference's veteran rosters and threatening the 1920s champions' depth.
