OU In 4th Period
Texas University will begin their
conference grid campaign this Sat
urday when they play host to Coach
Otis Douglas’ Arkansas Razor-
backs. It will be up to an 11 year
period of domination and almost
invincible line to throttle Douglas’
new split T formation which rolled
up an amazing 274 yards against
Baylor last week.
Saturday afternoon in the Cot
ton Bowl, 76,000 inspired fans saw
the Longhorns enter the stadium a
two touchdown favorite and with

BASED ON ? Al' REPORTS
The Baylor Bears will be
the only conference team not
engaged in a league game this
weekend as they will attempt
to be the fourth SWC eleven
to defeat Texas Tech. But last
Saturday the Bruins moved into the
spot everyone has reserved for
them—the SWC cellai’.
Arkansas and an almost forgot
ten halfback, Ray Parks, defeated
Baylor, 27-6, giving the Razor-
backs their first league win and
their first victory over the Bears
since 1946. Arkansas meets TU
Saturday with a 1-1 conference
record.

Parks scored two touchdowns,
one on a 74-yard sprint in the
final period, to lead Arkansas from
behind and put it back in the con
ference race. It was Baylor’s first
conference start.
The big Razorback line stopped
the Baylor Bears cold after the
first five minutes and rushed pass
ers Larry Isbell and Hayden Fry
off their feet. They completed
only five of 27 tosses for 58 yards.
Bear 1st TD
An intercepted pass led to Bay
lor’s touchdown early in the game.
Frank Boydston lugged one mis-
'fired pitch 37 yards to the Arkan
sas three. Two players later, Don
Carpenter dived across for the
score. In the second period, Arkan
sas held Baylor for three downs
on the' two. That was the Bears’
last big moment.
Frank Fischel blocked a punt in
the second period to set up Parks’
first score from the ten. George
Thomason converted to put the
Porkers ahead for keeps. Bill Jur-
ney tallied the second Ai-kansas
touchdown in the third on on eight
yard pass from Jim Rinehart. The
other touchdown was scored in the
final period by Bob Griffin, a
center playing his first game at
tackle. He intercepted a pass and
jogged 46 yards for the score.

Jim Weatherall added the story
book finish to the greatest grid
classic of the day when he con
verted his tenth PAT for the sea
son in 11 attempts, making the
final score 14-13.
Texas’ supporters might con
tinue their cry of “snake-bit.” The
Longhorns have lost five games in
two years by a grand total of 11
points. Oklahoma beat the Long
horns 20-14 last year and Texas
dropped three other games by four
points.
Texas got into a hole on the
opening kickoff and had to fight
back virtually all the way.
Oklahoma scored the second time
it had the ball, slashing 52 yards
“DUCHESS OF IDAHO”
Tig ers Receive
Third Loss of
Season, 14-33
Gayle Klipple and Jerry
Leighton sparkled Friday
night against Smithville, but
it wasn’t enough, as the
A&M Consolidated Tigers re
ceived their third loss of the sea
son, 14-33.
This week the Tigers take a
break and will be preparing for
their second District 32B game
which will be with Bastrop two
weeks from now.
Starring for the Smithville Tig
ers was George Rapp in the man-
under slot, Ed Keller running for
consecutive gains of five or six
yards on each try, and Gene Simp
son a big end who snared a pass
for a 33 yard score in the 4th
quarter.
Leighton Stars
Speedster Jerry Leighton made
one of his most spectacular runs
Friday night taking a pass from
Tiger quarterback George John
ston and scotting downfield for
83 yards and the second and final
Consolidated score. •
Bobby Williams made a good
showing, playing for the first
time since he was injured in the
tilt with the Navasota Rattlers.
However, Williams was hurt again
when he was tackled hard by a
Smithville lineman.
Bastrop has been defeated only
twice and has won three games
against some rough opposition.
They beat Flatonio, Luling and
Rockdale, but were conquered by
Giddings, 7-33, and by Columbus,
0-20.

in five plays. The Sooners had bog
ged down after Don Menasco fumb
led the opening kickoff on the
Texas 32 and Buck McPhail recov
ered. They could get nowhere and
Dick Heatly kicked out on the
Texas three.
The Longhorns were forced to
punt and from the Oklahoma 48,
the Sooners launched their touch
down drive. ■ Vessels and Leon
Heath alternated at pounding the
Longhorn line with the latter's
29-yard run setting up the score.
Vessels made it on a two-yard
smash over right tackle. Weather-
all kicked the extra point.
Texas took the kickoff and
crunched from its 37 to the Okla
homa 14 with a 15-yard roughing
penalty against the Sooners keep
ing the drive alive. A 30-yard pass
from Byron Townsend to Paul Wil
liams was the big gainer but the
next Texas pass, this one by ,Ben
Tompkins, was intercepted by Jack
Lockett on the one. Lockett squirm
ed out to the five. Arnold picked up
five in line blasts then fumbled on
the Oklahoma 12 with Bill Mil-
burn recovering but the Oklahoma
line threw Texas back for long
losses and from the Sooner 30 Bill
Porter kicked over the goal line.
TU’s Townsend Scores
Early in the second period Texas
got moving and smashed 46 yards
to a touchdown. A pass over the
line to Gene Vykukal, a tackle
made eligible by beifig shifted to
end, gained 20 yards to be the big
punch of the drive. Townsend then
blasted over guard for 15 yards
and a touchdown. Porter converted.
As time ran out for the half
Texas had staged a drive of 74
yards to the Oklahoma 1-foot line.
Oklahomans ganged Tompkins on
a quarterback sneak on third down
to hold him away from the goal
line as the gun shot. Passes by
Tompkins and the mighty line

Andy Hillhouse was the Aggies leading pass receiver over the
weekend and on this particular play, “Jumbo” had just caught an
aerial and was well on his way to paydirt. The Aggies defeated
VMI, 52-0, to break a three year home field jinx.
Rice Wins 12th Straight
Beating Pittsburgh, 14-7
BASED ON AP REPORTS
Winning its twelfth consecutive
game without a defeat and its
third straight of the year last
weekend, the Rice Owls are pre
pared to defend their SWC champ
ionship against the also unde
feated SMU Mustangs, who last
year lost to the Feathered Flock
27-41.
Last weekend Rice, with the aid
of the throwing arm of Vernon
Glass, dropped Pittsburgh, 14-7.
It should be quite a razzle-daz
zle affair when Glass’ tossing is
matched by Pony Fred Benners in
the new Rice Stadium.

Beat Tech Raiders, 19-6
The TCU Horned Frogs will be
facing their roughest task of the
season and will enter their second
conference game underdogs when
they meet the Texas Aggies at
College Station this coming week
end.
A 19-6 victory over the Texa'^
Tech last Saturday didn’t dampen
the spirit of “Dutch” Meyer’s
crew that was sparked by the
superb play of Gilbert Bartosh and
John Morton. Morton scored all
three of the TDs with Bartosh
tossing two touchdown passes, one
complete to Morton.

SMU to Open SWC
Season With Rice
BASED ON AP REPORTS
SMU ran up their biggest score
since 1936 when they beat Texas
A&I, 61-0, in turning back the
Oklahoma Aggies, 56-0, in the
night-time portion of the first
double header in major college
football.
This coming Saturday night, the
Ponies will open their SWC season
and place their record of four
straight wins up against the de-
defending conference champions—
Rice, who is also undefeated in
three starts—in the new Rice Sta
dium.
For the Pony fans Saturday, it
was great.
The valiant men of Aggieland—
exactly 30 strong—never had a
chance after the first period when
miscues kept the Methodists bottled
up in their territory.
But from then on it was easy.
Virtually everything SMU tried
worked and names uncommon to
the crowd of 75,968 jammed into
the Cotton Bowl bobbed up in the
long-gainers on runs and passes.
Win Fourth Straight
Southern Methodist, ranked No.
2 in the nation, was winning its
fourth straight victory of the sea
son. The Aggies were unbeaten but
had been tied before Saturday,
holding wins over Arkansas and
Texas Christian, two other South
west Conference teams.
Fred Benners, the mighty Meth
odist bomber, softened the Aggies
up with prodigious throws and
after the second period it was a
rout.
Val Joe Walkei-, who had been
used on defense until tonight,
stepped in to back up three of the
Methodist touchdowns.
Kyle Rote, the SMU powerman,
played little. He was in long
enough to crash ovbr fi’om the six-
inch line for the first Methodist
Touchdown.
The second Methodist touchdown
came on a 72-yard passing foray
with Benners at the throttle. One
pass to Bennie White made 25
yards and the other—to Benton
Mussel white—ate up 11 with the
latter running across from the Ag
gie six-yard line.
The third was scoi’ed on a 14-
yard end run by Walker after Ben-
ners passing had set it up. In this
splurge Benners completed passes
for a total of 75 yards.
The fourth was on a 55-yard punt
return by the fleet Walker— a
hurdler in track—and the fifth
was on an end-around by Jimmie
Hawn from the Aggie eight-yard
line after Benners passes had sent
the Methodists into scoring posi
tion.
The sixth on a pass for eight
yards from Musslewhite to Walker
(See MUSTANGS, Page 4)
Ford May Have Set
Record in Passing
Abilene, Tex., Oct. 16—(TP)—John
(Model T) Ford, Hardin-Simmon^
quarterback, may have set a pass
ing record Saturday night against
Arizona State.
Ford threw 25 passes and com
pleted 20 for 293 yards and two
touchdowns.
The Hardin-Simmons star al
ready holds the collegiate record
for touchdown passes. He regis
tered 26 last year.
Thus far this season he has
seven.
Since 1948 Ford has pitched 52
touchdown passes. He has com
pleted 241 in 417 tries for 4,050
yards—more than 2 1/4 miles.
