New York Giants and Chicago
Bears won the “big” games yester
day in the National Football
League.
The Giants upset the Philadel
phia Eagles, 7 to 3, in New York
to tie the idle Cleveland Browns
for first place in the American
Conference. The Bears took the
lead in the National Conference
by drubbing the Los Angeles
Rams, 24-14, in Chicago..
The defeat all but eliminated
the Eagles, defending league
champions, from the 1950 pen
nant picture. Their hopes now
hinge on a possible tie since they
are two games behind with only
two games left.
The Rams, defending Western
Division champs, have somewhat
better hopes than the Eagles since
the Bears have to whip both the
Chicago Cardinals and the revived
Detroit Lions. However, it is
strictly up to the Bears now re
gardless of what the Rams do.
Victories over the Cards and
Lions will give the Bears the div
isional races, the Green Bay Pack
ers beat San Francisco, 25-21, and
Washington outlasted Baltimore,
38-28.
Clay Scores for Giants
A crowd of 24,093 saw the
Giants parlay a 16-yard touch
down dash by rookie Randall
Clay, graduate of Texas Univer
sity, and three goal line stands
into victory.
A 24-yurd field, goal - by 'Cliff
Patton in the first quarter gave
the Eagles a temporary 3-0 lead.
This lasted only long enough for
the birds to kick off and the
Giants to cover 80 yards in four
plays for the winning touchdown.
Start With 58-Yd. Run
Clay, started it; with a 56-yard
end run. Gene Roberts picked up
six, Clay two more, then Clay

It was the first time in eight

With a cold wind whistling-
sharply past and through chilled
intramural teams, the eighth week
of play was completed.
In the only cage contest of the
afternoon B QMC sank a poorly
outclassed G AF team, 26-4. Sharp-
shooting Dick Lenzen paced both
quintets with eight counters. Pat

the victors and runnerup honors.

the TC line proved to be the best
weapon against the transporters.
The TC team found the FA ends

Forrest Simmons, Don Wooden,

A QMC stopped B Infantry in
three straight matches to annex

Wendland and Carter won the

The Rams, with Bob Waterfield’s
passes to Dick Hoerner eating up
most of the yardage, went 68
yards to the Bear’s two before
losing the ball on Tom Fear’s fum
ble.
Another fumble, this time by
Waterfield, set up the Bears’ first
touchdown. Bill Wightkin recover
ed on the Ram five and on fourth
down Julie Rykivoch bucked over.
Thereafter the Bears took
charge and piled up a 24-0 ; lead
before the Rams averted a shut

SWC Harriers
Compete Today
On Ag Course
A&M’s! Gross Country team
took to the 2.7 mile course
today at 3 p. m., defending
its Southwest Conference title
which it has held for the past
two years against league oppon
ents—University of Texas, Ar
kansas, Baylor, Southern Metho
dist and Texas Christian. Rice has
n’t entered a team.
Barring unforeseen circumstan
ces the Maroon and White harriers,
led by SWC Champion Julian Her
ring, should annex the title for
the third straight year with the
Arkansas Razorbacks a close sec
ond.
Entries for the Cadets will in
clude Herring, John Garmany,
Alex Ortiz, Jim McMahon, Charlie
Gabbriel, and Sophs Marshall Laz-
arine and Charles Hudgins.
Arkansas will probably be tab
bed as the favorites since they
bested the Farmers in a dual meet
three weeks ago by one point, but
the Aggies are just rounding into
shape and will rate an edge on
their home course. Top runners
for the Ozark team will be James
Brown, James West, Bill Cairns,
Oliver Gatchell, and Torn Hardin.
TU Threat
Texas will be a threat to both
the title contenders,, but, with only
two-or-three top performers, won’t
be in a position to win the crown.
C. A. Rundell, TU’s No. 1 man,
will give the leaders trouble, and
Lowell Hawkinson should also be
ripe.
The Baylor Bears and the SMU
Mustangs arc also entering teams
and only a lone entry from TCU.
Baylor and SMU won’t offer too
much opposition to the three lead
ing teams but Norman Alsobrook
of the Bears may make a high
bid in the individual standings.
Alsobrook is a former State mile
champion.

Two Upsets Registered In SWC
Two games—two upsets.
One can’t beat the Southwest
Conference for upsets; except
maybe the Big Ten did Saturday
when it registered three upsets in
three games.
After Baylor dumped Southern
Methodist, 3-0, with a 20-yard
field goal in the final four min
utes of play, and Texas Christian
with the aid of Bobby “Jumping”
Floyd and Gilbert Bartosh defeat
ed Rice, 26-14, the SWC showed
that it produced more than its
regular slated one upset per week.
The T'exas Longhorns, who won
the conference title’ last week, hold
undisputed first place in the league
while the Aggies and the Bruins
are tied for the second position.
Baylor, A&M Second
Baylor, who along with the Ag
gies were rated at the bottom of
the conference race outcome, has
played heads up ball since its
opening conference loss against
Arkansas, now has a 3-2 confer
ence record. The Razorbacks who
hold undisputed cellar position in
the conference, finished the season
with a 13-28 loss to the Tulsa Hur
ricane, and the poorest record it
has had in many a record, 2-8.
A&M is also in second place with
three wins and two losses. Thurs
day’s battle with the Steers may
determine whether or not the Ca
dets Will remain in that position.
The Mustang's, a favorite which
maded in the homestretch, are tied
in league play with Texas Christ
ian and Rice for the No. 4 spot.

Baylor 3, SMU 0
A long, lazy field goal by Henry
Dickerson with only three minutes
and thirty-seven seconds left gave
Baylor a 3-0 victory over South
ern Methodist and probably knock
ed the Methodists, out of a bowl
invitation.
It had befTn heralded as a scor
ing duel between two great pass
ing teams but each bungled all
sorts of chances for touchdowns
and it remained for Dickerson to
do the job the great Larry Isbell
of the Bears and Kyle Rote of
the Methodists couldn’t put across.
The field goal came from the
SMU 20-yard line as the crowd of
50,000 sat hushed for the only time
of the day. With it went SMU’s
hopes of getting a bid to either
the Orange or Sugar Bowl games.
SMU Consoled
-The Methodists had the consola
tion only of setting a new inter
collegiate record for pass com
pletions. SMU ran its completions
to .148 for the season and that was
one more than Mississippi made
in 1947 in hanging up the record.

Four times each team threaten
ed. SMU got to Baylor’s three-
yard line twice, losing the first
chance because of a penalty and
failing on the second when Rote
fumbled.
Baylor once got to the SMU
four but Buddy Parker fumbled
over the goal line in a try at tackle
and Val Joe Walker recovered for a
touchback. Another time Baylor
reached the seven but could get
no further and it was here that
the Bears called on Dickerson for
the field goal that won the game.

The faking and wizard ball-hand
ling plus some of the greatest
kicking the Cotton Bowl has seen
made Isbell stand out for Baylor.
He averaged 42.3 on his punting.
Buddy Parker, lithe little Baylor
halfback, was the leading ground-
gainer with 67 yards on 15 carries.
Rote picked u-p 30 yards rushing
and caught five passes for 51
yards. He also kicked for an aver
age of 27.8.
Fred Benners, the SMU passer,
completed 14 of 24 throws for 160
yards. Isbell connected on nine
of 21 for 94 yards.
Raggedly Played Game
It was a raggedly played game
as the 143 yards in penalties will
attest. The Methodists seemed
quite adept at messing themselves
up each time they got a drive un
der way. Baylor wasn’t much bet
ter. Both teams threatened twice in
the first half.
Southern Methodist took the
opening kickoff and with Rote
leading the charge smashed to the
Baylor 11 where, on fourth down,
Rote passed to. Pat Knight on the
Bear two but the Methodist full
back dropped the ball.
Baylor threatened seriously
early in the first period, running
and passing, with Isbell as the
engineer, to the Methodist four on
a 70-yard surge. But here Parker
rammed into right tackle, the ball
squirted out of his hands and
bounded across the goal line where
Walker of Southern Methodist re
covered for a touchback.
Baylor Goes Again
-■‘Baylor again endangered the
SMU goal shortly afterward on a
60-yard drive with Dick Parma and
Jim Jefferey doing the running
and Isbell the throwing. But from
the Southern Methodist 14, Isbell
went back to pass, was hit hard
and dropped the ball and Neal
Franklin recovered on the 32 for
SMU.
Then the Methodists put on a
drive that probably missed a touch
down because of a penalty. Ben
ners came into the game for the
first time and started passing Bay
lor dizzy, Rote caught three of the
throws in a surge that carried to
the Bear 12. Here, on fourth down,
Bill Sullivan faked a field goal
try and Benton Musslewhite dash
ed to the Baylor two for a first
down. But Southern Methodist was
penalized 15 for holding and a
fourth down pass by Benners fail
ed.
TCU 26, Rice 14
Jumping Jack Floyd made hurd
les out of would be tacklers while
scoring four touchdowns as Texas
Christian defeated favored Rice, 26
to 14.
Floyd teamed with Quarterback
Gilbert Bartosh, both sophomores,
to give lightning thrusts to a TCU
attack that otherwise was hamper
ed by Rice recoveries of six out of
eight Frog fumbles.
After Rice twice had taken first
leads, Floyd kept the Fort Worth
team even with touchdown runs of
34 to 63 yards. In the second half
he plunged over from the three to
climax a 73-yard drive and then
took an 18 yard pass from Bar
tosh.
The TCU defense kept Rice deep
in its own territory throughout the
third period and permitted the
Owls to cross midfield only twice
in the final quarter, each time to
the Frog 27.
Howton Scores First
End Bill Howton put Rice into a
first quarter lead, scoring on an
ehd around play from the 12 yard
line. Safety Rex Proctor gave the
Owls their brief 14-7 lead by in
tercepting a Bartosh pass and re
turning it 84 yards.
Homer Ludiker kicked the first
two TCU extra points but missed
both second half attempts. Billy
Wright converted twice for Rice.

TU, Insignificant
Austin, Tex., Nov. 27—OP)—There
is no significance in Coach Paul
Bryant of Kentucky coming here
Thursday other than to scout the
Texas football team, Athletic Di
rector D. X. Bible of Texas said
yesterday.
Commenting on recurring imports
that Bryant 'was to confer with
officials on the Texas coaching
job, vacated by Blair Cherry’s re
tirement, Bible reiterated:
“There isn’t any significance at
all connected with his coming down
here so far as the Texas coaching
job is concerned. He is coming
down here to scout Texas because
Kentucky is the first game on our
schedule next year.”

He returned to his hurdling tac
tics in the third period as TCU
broke the 14-14 halftime deadlock

Bartosh began the drive by
fumbling on the 27, but back John
Morton recovered for a 24-yard
