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. TCU 7 0 0 7—14 Kansas .... 7 0 0 0— 7 TCU scoring: touchdowns, Floyd.

TexasTechLooking 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.

Four Cadets each had scores to their credit, one by Glenn Lipp- man was the longest run from scrimmage in the conference.

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.

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.

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. c~ SUCCESS FORMULA Arrow Gordon Oxfords DYERS-FUR STORAGE HATTERS r 2-l5S4 1 1 Arrow REPP TIES 7> BSSWIrT 1 * *■ ® ' Easy formula . . . that never misses!

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.

McMullen was the offensive star for Wyoming and scored the win ning touchdown. Talboom came in to make the conversion.
