Four times Texas Christian scored in* the second half. But pen alties .rubbed out two touchdowns. , And at the end, a pass intercep tion i by Rex Procter saved their unbeaten record in conference play. Next week the Owls and Baylor will 'decide: "which acts as host in ‘ the Cotton Bowl Jan. 2. Rice had the answer to Texas Christian's nine man line, the de fense that upset Texas, in the ‘first half. It was deadly flat zone passing, with Tobin Rote doing the , tossing and Bobby' L*»ntrip and James (Froggie) Williams the catching. . T j Flat Hasses ' . ‘ Flat paiftii played key roles in.

This time the Owls’ defense held at the goal. J But TCU cracked back 4,3 yards fori two touchdowns, ope that ilidh’t count.

However, the Doaker more than made up for these lapses:by his great all-around play and his ever lasting threat to the Bears.-,It was the Doaker who took a puss for a touchdown with only eight ^seconds to go to make the score a-t least respectable.
