Supercharged Fish Ludiker’s Toe Brin 14-13 Win Over Fa Austin, Nov. 12...<A > )—Homer Ludiker’s expert toe brought Texas Christian a 14-13 victory over fav ored Texes before 40,000 fans here - today. Out-fighting Texas most of the way, the TCU Homed Frogs won their second Southwest 'Confer ence tilt against two defeats. It was Texas’ third -league loss against two victories. The Long horns have lost the three by a to- j tal of four points. Strong defenses and the inability of pass receivers to' hold on to the ball made for a dull first half, but the last two quarters produced plenty of fireworks. Texas took the lead, 7-0, in the third frame on Paul Campbell’s touchdown pass to end Ben Proc ter and Randall Clay’s conversion. TCU ‘ pounded right back, and the great Lindy Berry scored a sparkling 33-yard run behind fine blocking. JThe Frogs capitalized on a peljpty that gave them the bull on Texas’ 1-yard-linc, Fullback John Morton ramming through the middle to score. The Campbell-to-Procter combi- . nution spanned 03 yards In a hurry, ; the great end pulling Iff a 21-yard toss in tho end son*. Clay’s try for point was wide. , Texas appeared headed for vic tory th the final wild minutes of the game. Tho Longhorns kicked V; off short and end Ruby Bauman covered tho ball on TCU’s 47. Procter latched on to a pass on the 30. Then TCU was penalized to its • 13 for personal fouls, and lionghom fans went crazy. But the Frogs i*ared up to throw Texas baeje to the 16, and Texas tried for a field goal on fourth down. The ball was placed down on the 25, and Clay swung his leg, but - end Bob Moorman roared in to block the. try. That was Texas’ last chance. Berry’s running and passing, .coupled with,! Morton’s power drives, kept the TCU attack rolling. Shifting defeftse t s which featured use of four TCl| ends in a nine- man line stopped Ithe Texas running attack almost cold. The Lorighorns got a net 56 yards on the ground. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14 1^ :• 1 , "j m • *' >• * 'j ' i il Wms §> Jggppf S' 1949 Pomes Add Walkef Massacre Hogs, 34-6 the conversioili * BY HARO!
