Fort Wojrtlj, Nov. 2^1. </P» —
• Rice used a granite gwMirte de
fense and a couple of breaks Sat
urday to squeeze past Texas Chris
tian University, 20-14, and cinch
. a'tie for the Southwest Confer-
* ence championship. j j
The big burly Owls rolled up a
three touchdown lead in the first
half, but had to hang on grimly
the rest of the game. .
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.
Bice’s first two scores. One, a 3U
yard from Rote to Williams,
. sparked the Owls’ first touchdown
march, a'fth.yard drive the first
time they gut the ball. Billy Burk-
halter plunged over the goal-line
from the one,
* Karly in the sueomi <iusrter au<
other pass- Rote to Untrip—ate
up 3b yards In a libykid drive
.Burklmltrr ellmnxed with a 1'J-
yard ttmcliddwn sprint. !
John Kelly snagged Undy Her-
ry’n pass mljiutes after Blco’s sec*,
tmd iouchdowtt and ran 4H yards,
for the Owls third jMorgi
Two extm points by James
(Froggie) Witliums Roosted Rico's
Imlf-itirne margin to 20-0.
TCU, sparked by Berry, playing
with a plastic mask to' protect his
cracked jaw', and big John Morton,
stormed back in the third period.
, The Horned Frogs’ Bob Moor-
-man recovered Lantrip’s fumble on
Rice’s six-yard line. 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. After Morton clipped
off 33 yards, Berry passed to Mor
ris Bailey in the end zone. An off
side penalty nullified iit.

The Owls wouldn’t budge on two
line plunges by Morton. A back-

a touchdown sprint by Berry. /
George ;Boal caught Berry’s ntkt
pass, but; inches, out of the end
zone, Tliat chilled; all but the

pulling another upset.

rian Burk, Baylor’s man with the
slingshot, knocked down Southern
Methodist, 35-26 Saturday to keep
the Southwest Conference football
championship race going for an
other week.
The precision bajl-manipulator
on Baylor’s glittering T formation
passed for three touchdowns and
set up two more in, turning back
battling Southern M et hodist and
it great Doak Walker.
It was Baylor’s first victory over
SMU since 1936 an<J puts the con
ference title and th!e host spot in
the Cotton Bowl up,to next Satur
day’s game at Houston between
Baylor and Rice. Rice remained
undefeated in conference play by
beating Texas Christian, 20-14.
Baylor has lost one game, but by
beating Rice can tie for the title
and get the Cotton Bowl bid.

But it was Walker, who fijmbled
to give Baylor oppoitunity for its
second touchdown and his gamble
on fourth down in the secorjd per
iod that presented Baylor with the
ball on SMU J6 led to the third
Bear score.
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
