abruptly halted the bayou contir gent’s
win -streak in the, second ’49 tilt by

liard-to-lick jinx—and a strong LSU
leven—combined to bring abort the

Since their loss to the Benggls the
I Blue and Grey-clad gridsters hgve bum
ped" three league foes and a! pair of
Border Conference competitors from

n the third game of the Houston
school’s schedule and the Lobos were
beaten 55 to 0 in a breather.
Defending champion Southern
T lelhbdist next fortified its laiit for the
ish e invasion of the Cotton Bjwl in
Jthillas, but the title-hungry Birds fought
back from h first half deficit to gain
a 41 to 27 victory. The hurly bayou
athletes took this contest in an offense

ilub offered or sought quarter.
Despite the Owl win over the Mus-
! ings, the Texas Longhorns \|ore in-
'-talled as favorites the following week
in the UT-Rice clash in Austii’s Me

Froggie Williams and 225-pound center-
linebacker Joe Watson. Six-footer Wil
liams, who has earned three mono
grams, should make the first string All-

Big Watson, another three-
letterman, will be included on the All-
America squads from the third to the
first teams—-according tp the prejudices
of selectors towards putting two' team
mates on the same honor selection.
Other top stairs for the veteran Rice
i aggregation are backs Bobby Lantrip,
Sonny Wyatt,.^nd Tobin Rote. Rote,
man-under in the T-attack, weighs 190,
stands 6’ 3”, and tosses a wicked pass.

back, is second in|p-ushing in the con
