    Frogs, Okie Ags
Out to Keep
Winning Streak
Lawrence, Kas., Sept. 25—
(AP)—Two teams—TCU and
the Oklahoma Aggies—will
both be trying to keep their
victory string growing this
weekend when they meet each
other at Stillwater, Okla.
The Aggie eleven was victorious
over the Arkansas Razorbacks last
weekend in an upset, while the
Horned Frogs used plenty of breaks
against an erratic Kansas Jayhawk
eleven, to win 14-7.
A partisan crowd of 32,000 pic
tured Kansas’ first victory ove'r
TCU when sophomore Charles
Hoag raced 89-yards over the goal
with about four minutes remain
ing.
But a Jayhawker was caught
using his hands illegally. The play
was called back and Kansas was
penalized to its one-yard line.
A bad punt by another sopho
more, George Mrkonic, traveled
out of bounds on Kansas’ 25-yard
line. There were three plays and a
15-yard penalty, also for illegal
use of hands, and TCU was backed
to the Kansas 27.
Bartosh to George
From that point Gilbert Bartosh
passed to End Wilson George for
the winning touchdown.
Kansas, a sophomore-dominated
team, gave the ball away three
times on fumbles but each time
the Jay hawks made successful de
fensive stands.
Each team scored in the first
quarter, TCU getting the first
touchdown oh Fullback Bobby Jack
Floyd's plunge from the two-yard
line. Homer Ludiker kicked the
point to make it 7-0.
Kansas, with Hoag as the key
man, drove 66-yards from the next
kick-off to score. Hoag passed to
Fullback Pohnamberg the last 23
yards for the touchdown. Sopho
more Fox Cashell tied it up with
his placement kick.
From there on it was a matter
of Kansas making one blunder af
ter another, then stopping every
TCU threat until the winning one.
Kansas won on the statistical
chart in first downs, 14 to 9; rush
ing yardage 180 to 177, and in
passing, 110 to 46, but made 100
many mistake^ to beat Dutch
Meyer’s Frogs.
Hoag lived up to his billing as
an All-America potential although
he gave the ball away three times
on his four fumbles.

For Win Over Ags
Lubbock, Tex., Sept. 23—(A 5 )—
The Texas Tech Red Raiders will
be looking forward to meeting the
A&M eleven Saturday night in
San Antonio, and it may be the
Raiders who come out on top to
avenge the 26-7 thumping the
Cadets dished out last year.
Over the weekend Tech pulled
a near upset as it lost to one of
the top teams in the natiion—the
University of Texas—by a much
closer score than predicted, 14-28.
Two touchdowns within 13 min
utes of the first quarter gave
Tevas an advantage it needed be
fore its wealth of big, experienced
men toned down the keyed-up Red
Raiders.
TU Scores Early
Less than two minutes after the
first game of the 1950 season for
both clubs started, Texas had a
touchdown. Ben Tompkins passed
eight yards to Bubba Shands for

In Scoring
A&M Paces
SWC Teams
BASED ON AP REPORTS
A&M paced the Southwest Con
ference teams over the weekend,
winning by a much larger score
than expected, 48-18, over Nevada.
Not only did the Aggies score more
points than any other team in
the conference but they also led in
the individual department.
Bruisin’ Bob Smith was on top
with 18, and Kyle Rote of SMU
followed with 12.
All of the other scores made in
conference wei’e single TDs.
Four Cadets each had scores to
their credit, one by Glenn Lipp-
man was the longest run from
scrimmage in the conference. Lipp-
man had also ran back a kick off,
which was probably the longest in
the nation, 93 yards, but was called
back, officials ruling he stepped
out of bounds on Nevada’s 44.
Bill Tidwell, Jim Dobbyn, Char
les Hodge, and Lippman all scored
in the Nevada game over the week
end. Others scoring single TDs
were H.'N. Russell, Jr., and Ben
White, both of SMU; T, J. Shands,
Byron Townsend, Gib Dawson, and
Ben Proctor, all of TU; George
Wilson and Bobby Jack Floyd,
both of TCU; and Sammy Furo of
Arkansas.
Leading the PAT specialists is
Darrow Hooper of A&M, who suc
cessfully converted six of seven
tries, for a six point- total.
Of the six conference teams
which played, two were upset—
Arkansas and Baylor. Arkansas
was sux-prised by Oklahoma A&M,
12-7, and Baylor lost to Wyoming,
0-7. SMU downed Georgia Tech,
33-13; Texas erased Texas Tech,
28-14, and TCU outlasted Kansas,
14-7, in other SWC tilts.
Rice remained inactive over the
weekend.

yard line.
Near the end of the period, Dan
Page passed 27 yards to Ben Proc
ter for the second Longhorn tally.
Between those touchdowns, the
ball game was all Texas Tech. The
Red Raiders mounted far-reach
ing drives numerous times but
only one—in the second quarter—
paid off. Ike Stuver climaxed this
57-yard drive with a 30-yard scor
ing run.
TU’s Superiority—Pays Off
In the second half, Texas’ sup
eriority of experience and weight
paid off. The Longhorns wore the
rangy West Texans to a nubbin.
Gib Dawson, Arizona’s gift to
Texas, and Big Byron Townsend
led the rejuvenated Longhorns in
the second half, Townsend smash
ing over the goal line from inside
the one-yard line in the third per
iod and Dawson snaring Tompkins’
pass in the final period on a scor
ing play that covered 51 yards.
Billy Porter kicked four extra
points for Texas and Tim Hatch
two for Texas Tech.
The second Red Raider touch
down came just before the game
ended. Frank Graves intercepted
Tompkins’ pass on Texas’ 30-yard
line and returned it to the Texas

the ground, then Pete Edwards
fired to Dick Jackson in the end

Top Aggie Quarterback
Rote To Lead Ponies
Against Ohio State
Dallas, Sept. 25—(A 3 )—Kyle Rote,
who holds second place in SWC
scoring with 12 points, six points
behind Aggie Fullback Bruisin’
Bob Smith, will be leading the
Mustangis into battle Saturday
afternoon at Columbus, O., against
the highly powered Ohio State
Buckeyes.
Ohio State remained incative
over the weekend while the Ponies

the Rambling Wrecks of Georgia
Tech. The Buckeyes are a touch
down favorite in the coming game
if the Rote led Mustangs could
catch fire, it may be another SWC
intersectional win.
In Saturday’s game it was all
Rote, as he shot down the South
eastern Conference team with two
touchdown runs and two touch
down passes. He raced 75 yards
for one score in the top thriller
of the night.

Arkansas Seeking First Baseba11 Boun<lup
Win After Past Upset
Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 24—(A 3 )
—Victors over North Texas State
last year with a score of 33-19,
the Arkansas Razorbacks will be
looking for their first win of tbe
season this weekend after havihg
been upset by Oklahoma A&M, 12-
7, here Saturday night.
Although the Porkers boast the
biggest forward wall in the con
ference, 219 on offense and 226
on defense, they may not be the
predicted “dark horse” in the
SWC, if they don’t show up strong
er against NTC.
Last Saturday night it was sim

A&M Cowboys’ alertness, which
weekend the Razorbacks’ hopes of
making. new Coach Otis Dou#as’

as A&M head coach.
Wagner Intercepts
Late in the second quarter Cow
boy Halfback Wilson Wagner
snagged a misfired pass by the
Razorbacks’ Jim Rinehart of the
Arkansas 42 and ran to the 30.
Six plays later the Oklahomans
were on the seven and Darrel Mei-
senheimer cracked right guard
for the touchdown.
Three minutes later Arkansas
again took to the air, and again
its overhead attack backfired.
George Wooden intercepted Don
Logue’s toss on the Arkansas 40.
He ran through a broken field to
the 13. Meisenheimer powered to
the 10, and Bob Cook passed to
Tackle Jerry Stubb, shifted to
end for the one play, on the four.
Arlen McNeil lunged over the goal.
For the second time F. A. Dry’s
try for point was no good.
Scoring Peculiar
The Razorbacks received the sec
ond half kickoff and marched 64
yards on 11 rushing plays for a
touchdown. The scoring play was
the most peculiar of the game.
Buddy Rogers fumbled a hand-off
from Logue, but Lewis Carpen
ter retrieved the ball and later-
aled to Sammy Furo, who ran
wide to the left for 12 yards and
the tally. George Thomason kicked
the point.
Twice in the final period Arkan-
'sas had chances to win. In the
first minute Arkansas bogged down
on the A&M 15 after marching 39
yards. And in the last minute the
favorites rolled to the A&M eight.
Logue connected with Pat Sum-
merall in the end zone, but an off
side penalty nullified the play. And
the Cowboys took over on the next
down.

Yankees Continue Lead
For American League Flag
BASED ON AP REPORTS
Detroit dropped another step
from an American League pennant
as they lost a close game to the
Cleveland Indians, 2-1, this week-
ehd. A mental lapse by Detroit
catcher Aaron Robinson, allowed
the Indian’s Bob Lemon to score
with the winning run.
With the bases loaded and one
out, southpaw Ted Gray induced
large Luke Easter to ground to
first baseman Don Kolloway just
inside the line. Kolloway stepped
on first to retire Easter for the
second out. He then whipped to
Robinson, who had plenty of time
to put. the tag on Lemon. \
The catcher, probably forgetting
that Kolloway’s putout on first eli
minated the force play, simply
stamped on the plate, thinking it
was the final out. He made no ef
fort to touch the sliding Lemon.
The situation not only fooled
Robinson, but also umpire Bill
Summers as well. The veteran ar
bitrator first called Lemon out.
Then when the entire Cleveland
bench, backed by first base umpire
Charley Berry, came dashing out
to explain the' play, Summers re
versed himself- and called Lemon
safe.
Lemon Homers
Lemon, who stretched his record
to a 25-11 helped his own cause
earlier with a homerun. Gray
went all the way for the losers.
The win moved the Indians into
a third place tie with Boston and
four games behind the league lead
ing New York Yankees, while De
troit fell 2W games behind.
The confident Yankees drove
closer to their second straight
American League .flag as they
whipped the demoralized Boston
Red Sox 9 to 5. Boston is now
a game and a half behind the sec
ond place Detroit Tigers.
Elsewhere in the American
League the Chicago White Sox lost
a double header to the St. Louis
Browns, 0-5 and 1-6. Washington
edged Philadelphia, 3-1.
Brooks Shutout Phils
Over in the National League, the
League leading Philadelphia Phil
lies were humbled by Brooklyn, 11-
0, with Erv Palica throwing a two-
hit shutout and hitting a grand
slam homerun. The loss cut the
Phils lead to five games over the
onrushing Dodgers, who have now
stretched their victory string to six
straight.
The Chicago Cubs made a bid for
the number six spot on the league
ladder as they got by St. Louis 8-3
in a game in Chicago.
Wally Westlaue stole home from
third with the winning run in the
sixth inning to give the last-place
Pittsburgh Pirates a 3-2 victory in
the nightcap of a twin bill with
the Cincinnati Reds to round out
the league race.
Cincinnati’s Ewell Blackwell al
most had a shutout in the first
game as the Reds won 7-1. He
gave up seven hits and the Bucs’
ohly run came in the ninth.

with a punt. Then came Kyle’s 75-

the big man carrying a Tech
tackier across with him from the
seven-yard stripe. The third coun
ter was on a 36-yard pass from
Rote to Rusty Russell, Jr., Bill

touchdown.
Tech’s first score was set up by
a roughing" penalty against SMU
that put the ball on the Metho
dist one-yard line. Darrell Craw

Peden Templeton missed the try
for point. A 78-yard drive brought
the second Georgia Tech score with
Bobby North making it on a

Baylor Hoping
To Down U of H
In New Stadium
Laramie, Wyo., Sept. 25 —
(AP)—Baylor will be trying
to pull the same stunt as the
Wyoming eleven performed
Saturday when they play
their first game in their new 41,000
capacity stadium against the Uni
versity of Houston this coming
weekend.
Last weekend here, the Baylor
Bears were upset by Wyoming,
7-0, as the home team sent its new
stadium way to a resounding start.
The Bears from the Southwest
ern Conference handed the sky
line six title winners their only
defeat last year and were two
touchdown favorites this time. But
the steamed up Cowboys outplay
ed them thoroughly.
So far as the record Wyoming
football crowd of 17,268 was con
cerned, the $300,000 investment in
the new stadium was fully just
ified within 15 minutes when Royal
McCullen pounded over from the
two to end a 79-yard scoring drive.
The attendance doubled the old
state record for a football crowd,
set at 8,244 here last year.
Texans Manhandled
The Texans were manhandled all
day by the rugged, hard charging
Wyoming line. The Cowboy for
ward wall reached a magnificient
peak in the second quarter when
it yielded less than two yards in
four plays to halt the invaders’
only real scoring threat.
Bob Reid started Baylor toward
this opening with a 40-yard punt
return to the Wyoming 34. Hayden
Fry passed to Stan Williams for
27 yards and Jim Jeffrey ram
med it to the five. Frank Boyd-
stun was stopped in the center
but on the next play Wyoming
was offside and Baylor got the
ball on the one with two downs
remaining.
Frank Shannon was thrown back
a yard on the first try and Boyd-
stun was stopped six inches from
the goal on fourth down.
McMullen was the offensive star
for Wyoming and scored the win
ning touchdown. Talboom came in
to make the conversion.
The hard running of Boydstun
and Jeffrey in the Midfield areas
helped Baylor roll up a rushing
margin of 173 yards against 113
and the visitors made 98 yards on
seven pass completions against 51
for Wyoming on five.
