Austin, Texas, Nov 1 <£*>—The
Texg« Longhorns toppled Baylor’s
Bears from the unbeaten list with
a solid 20-0 victory as 60,000
looked on here Saturday.
Snapping hack from three heart
breaking losses in the past four
dealt a smashing
i|ts
Conference title
since 192
Fierce rushing by the Texas line
hnd sharp pass-defensive patterns
put a damper on the heretofore
brilliant aerial attack directed by
Baylor’s Adrian Burk.
Bud McFadin, 235-pound Texas
guard, was particularly tough
against the Baylor offense, his
terrific tackling wrecking the Bear
running game time after time. He
was equally impressive on offense.
Steers Score in Second
Texas hit its victory stride
in the second quarter. Big Ray
Bomeman, a bruising fullback who
has been hampered by a knee in
jury all season, showed his form
of last year as he piled over from
the 1-foot line. His plunge capped
a methodical 18-play drive of 80
yards in which Borneman and Ran
dall Clajr were almost the whole
show.
A freak play on which Borne-
ntan juggled the ball to Lineman
McjFadin contributed 16 yards to

the March. Clay missed the
tra point.
Fumbles halted a Baylor
on the Texas 30 and a Texas tp
on the Baylor 3 in the third
iod, but Texas came right bajck in
the fourth.
Aerial Attack nicks
Campbell, mixing in frequent
passes With the Texas potent
ground game, uncorked a 23-yard
touchdown toss to end Ben Proctor.
The lanky wingman grabbed the
ball on the 8 and went over Stand
ing up. Clay kicked the fiijst of
two successful conversiohs.
A fumble by Burk set up Texas
final tally. Tackle Bill Wilson
recovered on the Baylor 13. A
penalty put the ball on the i-yard
line, and Campbell scored thu first
touchdown of his collegite pareer
on a quarterback sneak.
Adrian Burk, the great Baylor
tosser, was rushed badly at
by; the Longhorns, but even
he was allowed ample tiinfe; in
which to throw he often foujnd his
receivers blanketed.
Burk Stymied
The tall Bear quarterback
aged to complete only eley
times
when
\ f

en of
were

tWenty-five tosses and the)
good for onjy seventy-one
In fact, the aerial show that had
been expected never got into op
eration.
t. Campbell, the Texas tossing ace,
connected for just five of hii elev
en throws and they added up to
only fifty-sikj yards. One if the
pitches, however, was good for six
Mints.. > ;
Seven times Burk tucked the
ball under hjs arm and rai with
it | when he was hurried, bi it this
emergency dodge did him nu good.
He wound up with a record of four
yards lost oinj the ground.
Texas Showsj Power)
Texas’ two power runnors at
times tore a strong Baylor line
apart. Borneman, who pulled
through the Bear forwards as if
he, did not have a damage^ knee,
picked up 61 yards in nineteen car
ries, and Clay gained 55 y^rds on
seventeen trips with the ball.)
Tex^s gained 164 yards jon the
ground and Baylor could manage
only 90 from its rushing atempts.
The Bear defeat probably drop
ped the Baptist school out of the
A&M fullback Bob Smith charges toward the
line of scrimmage and a second later dived over
the struggling mass of linemen to tally a touch
down. The six-pointer and the subsequent PAT
by Bob Shaeffer tied the score at 20-all. Hugh
Meyer (52), Cadet center, and an Aggie guard
i j J " -
have ploughed one Mustang under and carried
another (the white-iemyed player to left of
Smith) out of the play. Similar action up and
down the line aided the Farmer attack all through
the tilt.

A&M’s varsity tennis team was
beaten four matches to two Fri
day op the University of Houston
courts. The match was a preseason
affair which enabled each coach
to get some ideas of his team’s
strength for 1950. .
Getting the match under way,
Jason Morton Wf UH and R./G.
DeBerry of the Aggie* took the
center court in the featured event
of the afternoon. A strong Mor
ton beat Deberry handily, 6-1, 6-1.
Then Bobby Duncan, playing in
the number two singles position
for A&M, roared back to swamp
Sweeney, 6-4, 6-2, to even the
match at one all.
Tate Wins
Royce Tate, number three for
the Cadets, came through to give
his team a shortly enjoyed lead
as he edged by Liggen, 7-5, 9-7.
The Cougers tied the issue at
two pH when Caldwell took Dick
Hardin, 6-4, 6-2.
The doubles matches were then
winning school, but this proved to
A&M’s downfall as they bowed
in both events.
Cougars Began Lead
Tate and DeBerry lost to Morton
and Liggen in a match that .was
extended to the maximum number
of sets, the Houston duo finally
winning, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2.
Houston made it -four matches
to two in the deciding match of
the afternoon when Caldwell and
Pruitt defeated Duncan and Hard
in in a thriller. The A&M pair
were able to take the first set
easily but seemed to lost their
sharpness in the two remaining
sets-; the final count being, 2-6,
6-3, 9-7.
