U-' Undefeated Pounds TCU, 40-14 I I -Wacoj Oct. 81 (AP)— Baylor lode high in the ranks of the nation’s undefeated teams smothering Texas Christiaii 40 to 14 with a po tent offepM and • tight defennc «t Municipal Stadium Saturday. Texan . Chrlatlah’a Llndy Barry ' had a bod off day. Baylor’* Adrian Burk ntid hia pa*a«*natching mate* Were at their best, and that wa* the ball game. * Baylor counted with one touch down in the first period, three in a big second quarter, one each in the third fourth, plus a safety in the second to r give the Horned Frogs second setback in South west Conference plfcy. A Christian fumble early ip the game and a recovery by Tackle 'Wesley Roberts led to; Baylor’s first touchdown. Big Frank Body- j etun rammed through from the ] nine to score. Frank Dickerson’s | placement was wide. Burk Pass Sparks Baylor drove 67 yards to score * the next touerdown. It was touch ed off by a 27-yard pass from Burk to Dudley Parker, standing clear in the end zone, gave the surging t Bruiqa another tally. Burk then passed^ 42 yards to James Jeffrey on T C U’s three and Bodystun N again powered over for the score. Both tries for extra point failed. Tackle Rupert Wright tackled Otis McKelvey of TCU in the end zone for a safety and two more ' _ points. 1 A pass from Burk to Ison * and a misled conversion attempt ran th^. Baylor total to 33. Bears Hold Margin That 33 to 0 margin held through the third period. Baylor was using many reserve* and the Frogs ,; r surged back for two the last quarter. The 44-yard drivel climaxed by r pass from fl^oy Ballinger Elliott; Homer I.udikcr’i kick was good. Baylor sejond another down in thg final frame af covering a^-TCU fumble on Louis Gajdosik plunged over Dickerson’s placement was Then Froggie Marshall Alford blocked Larry Isbell’s punt and Keith Flowers ran 34 yards for a TCU score, with Ludiker’s placement again perfect for the extra point. Burk completed 111 of 11) passes attempted for total yardage df 102. Only one of his passes was in tercepted. Wf j < r Ah • . ‘ ' r. m Berry Unsuccessful ■ Berry was able to( connect only on two of 11 tries fop 16 yards, but six interceptions of Berry’s pitches were a tribute to a heads- up pass defense that throttled the vaunted Christian attack.' But it wasn’t all Burk for Baylor. The air-minded Bruins total yards gained by aid was 216, and they powered for 121 oh the ground. TCU netted 61 yards by passes and a scant 26 on the ground. The Christians threatened sev eral times, but miscues and! just- missed passes hurt badly. Early in the game a long heave from Dan Wilde to Snake Bailey was definitely off stride. Bill Moorman blocked a Baylor kick early in the fourth period, TCU winding up with the ball on the Baylor three. The Baylor line refused to budge in four plays and that’s the way the ball game went all afternooni. : "J L:J M JWM Giving the cameraman a dirty look in the process, this Brahma tries unsuccessfully to unseat his _ Aggie rider in the Saddle and Sirloin Club’s an nual Aggie rodeo. ‘ I SPALDING DiDMBU fVKCOM&DGl* El#JlN6 T <4 UTriKOP WVaRDAGC] wiue TURF?'

Then the hushed throng of 75,♦ 000 watched Walker as he stood theie and aimed at the Texas goal posts. Back came the hall am Walker stepped into it. The ova sailed like a bird between the crossbars. That was the ball game although Texas had the crowd iij hysterics with drive after driv* that carried deep, deep into South T era Methodist territory. Texas Threatens Texas stqpned and passed, getj- tirtg to thie Southern Methodist three yard line with six minute$ to go, but Ray Borneman, key man in the Longhorn drive, fumbled and Grover Walker recovered for SMUL Rote boomed a kick out to the Southern Methodist 34 and then Texas stymied in three tries, tried a field goal. It was a fprlorn effort. On the 391 yard mark, Ben Tomp kins but his foot into the ball but it didn’t even reach the SMU goal line. I Southeni Methodist was outplay ed in everything except the score. Most of the breaks went its way and when Texas did get one it cpuldn’t ({rack the SMU line or fbozled a\jray its chance.

Pitt, ‘manhandled by a weak Indiana team last week, bounced Pennsylvania out of the ranks of the undefeated, 22 to 21, on a safety that was scored 38 seconds before the game ended. Purdue crushed both Minnesota’s big ten title and Rose Bowl hopes with a 13 to 7 victory. North Carolina was subdued by Tennessee, 36 to 6. Halfback Char lie Justice was injured in the fray but! be contributed mental and physical errors before he was hurt that helped the volunteers tri umph. J Other Results Expected At virtually all the other sites the football form held true. Notre Dame, leader in the Asso ciated Press’ weekly poll, cruised easily past Navy, 40 to 0, with Ernie Zalesjski the hero this time. Oklahoma was held scorless for a period before if settled down to •destroy Iowa State, 34 to 7, with five different Sooners scoring touchdowns. Army had no difficulty at all with Virginia Military, 40 to 14, but Kentucky waited until almost the last minute to master little Cincinnati, 14 to 7. Southern Meth odist just got by Texas, 7 to 6, with the convalescing Doak Walker the deciding poiilt. Fordham Wins Again But there were some surprises. Fordham announced its return to the major ranks with a fourth straight victory, this one 42 to 0 over a good Georgetown aggrega tion. The Rams play equally un beaten Army next Saturday. Boston University continued its victory skein with a 46 to 6 con quest of Scrantoq. Out in the Midlands there was excitement galor^. Iowa was trail ing Oregon, 24 to 6, with only seconds to go in the third period. The Hawkeyes unleased a scoring attack that brought them to a 34 to 31 victory in thl* next nine min utes.

'IMe running of Fullback Bob^y Lantrip and the passing of Tobin Rote and Vernon Glass made the Rice offense click at will. The Owl defense meanwhile was keep ing the West Texas Red Raiders from crossing the Rice 20-yard line the entire game.

Rote, with a bad ankle, played very lit(,Uj, but he completed 8 out of ll! passes for. 127 yards. Lantrip, hjowever, was a day’s big ground gainer, carrying the ball 19 times jfor 141 yards. Glass’ passing closely rivaled that or Rote, completing 7 of 10 foi* 121 yards. ^ Both Rice first string guards were nurjiing injuries and only Carl Schwarz saw limited action. S. J.

Tech had 240 on the ground and completed 6 of 16 pqss attempts for 79 yards. ^The Reji Raiders, paced by Cal vin Stevenson and J. W. Thompson, launched ; several long midfield drives but bogged down on passes after moving across the Rice 30. Stevesdn carried the ball 11 times for: a net of 86 yards, while Thompson had 51 on 9 tries.

A fumble by Yale Lary oh an attempted punt by the Agi- gies, gave the Hogs the sphere on A&M'* nine-yard HnS. After a few buck* through line, Maztanti went over from four. Thornton successfully oint to make th< the extra h the m the added point to make the scora 20-to-0 with 10 minutes to play ip the game. Ags Come Back - Dick Gardemal got the Ags rolling after Arkansan' kickoff. Thy Cadets were able to penetrate t{> the Hogs' 34 yard line before Gardemal was thrown for a lobg loss back to the Hog 49. Arkansas, after being unable to move the ball, punted out of bounds on th)» A&M ll-yard line. •[ ! Gardemal dropped {back to pass bn second down and shot one into the flats where Porker Billy Bass gathered it in and daished 18 yard* down the sidelines for the scor*. Thornton placed his third convei> sion of the afternoon straight through the uprights to make the score 27 to 6. Once again the Aggies advanced deep into Hog territory, getting as far as the 13-yard line oR two passes from Gardemal to Whit taker and a 15-yard penalty. Bqt again the Cadets couldn’t take aq* vantage of the situation as Gard^T mal’s aerial was intercepted by an Arkie, who snagged! it in the end zone and raced back to thie six. : Dugan Makes Run ' ^ j , From this point tbe longest run of the game took place as Hog Joe Dugan, fourth string half back, knifed his way off right tackle, picked up his interference, and raced 79 yards jto the 16-yaM line before Billy Tidwell came frojn behind to bring hinfi to the tunf. After being unable to collect any points from ground and aerial attacks, (loach Barnhill sent Thornton in to try for a :Hqg field goal. The btdl sailed far enough but barely missed being good as it sliced orfito the left, The Aggies then (ook over froin their own 20 with only 40 *econd* remaining In the Goff swept left end for IP yards. From thi* spot, they drew a 15 yard penalty for roughness.
