Based On AP Report
What a week-end! If anyone
still had any doubts about the
“sureness to win” of the South
west Conference, they were all
erased during the past football
week.
Top-ranked A&M fell before
TCU, Arkansas upset Texas Uni
versity, and the SMU Mustangs
were more than surprised, they
were stunned, by the Rice Owls.
Only Baylor managed to come
through as expected or predicted.
The Bruins of Waco had little
trouble in stopping the futile but
ambitious efforts of Texas Tech.
Here’s what happened:
Arkansas 16, Texas 14
The Arkansas Razorbacks, led
by their brigade of giant linemen
and their sophomore quarterback,
Lamar McHaii, toppled the Texas
Longhorns in Fayetteville, Ark.,
last Saturday afternoon.
With one smashing blow, the
Razorbacks knocked Texas from
its fourth place national ranking
and gave it a trimming in the
Longhorn’s opening game in de
fense of their SWC championship.
When the final whistle blew
after some hectic final moments
of the epic affair, McHan, the 190-
pound, 18-year-old flash from Lake
Village, Ark., was lifted to should
ers of his mates and carried off
the field in the midst of the cele
bration.
After fumbling the first snap-
back of the game and giving Texas
an opportunity to score, the Raz-
orback line stiffened and held.
From that point on, Arkansas dom
inated the contest.
Dawson Breaks Loose
Arkansas recovered a Texas fum
ble and moved 15 yards for its
first touchdown in the opening per
iod; Gib Dawson, Longhorn half
back, broke loose on a 78-yard
scoring run early in the second
quarter and June Davis’ extra
point try put Texas ahead.
But Summerall kicked a 20-
yard field goal in the same period
to put Arkansas in the lead again,
9 to 7 and the Razorbacks couldn’t
be halted after that.
Sophomore Jack Troxell’s 10-
yard burst around right end scored
another touchdown for Arkansas
in the third, and salted away the
Victory.
Throughout the second half, Tex
ts could make only two first downs
and 36 yards rushing.
For Arkansas, Quarterback Mc
Han called a smooth game, ex
ploiting the few wijak spots he
found in the big Lbnghorn line.
The Razorbacks responded sharply
to his leadership.
On the other hand, Quarterback
T. Jones never could seem to get
his mates going. In the final per
iod, his job was turned over to Dan
Page, who could do no better. It is
doubtful whether a Johnny Lu-
jack or a Larry Isbell could have
mastered the situation; the Razor-
back line simply was tremendous.
Texas was finally able to take
advantage of a break halfway
along in the fourth quarter, turn
ing a fumble recovery on the Ar
kansas 16 into a touchdown.
McHan and Murray Elton got
in a handoff mixup at that point
and June Oavis crashed in to cover
the free ball. Dick Ochoa bulled

run and almost as quickly started
the TCU rally.
Even after TCU’s second touch
down, the Cadets felt secure with
their 14-13 lead and less than 6
minutes left to play.
Highlights for the Aggies was
the defensive play of Buddy
Shaeffer, Jim Fowler, W. T. Rush,
Dick Frey, Jack Litttle, and Al
vin Langford.
Shaeffer was nothing short of
sensational as he intercepted pas
ses, recovered fumbles, and tackled
furiously during the entire fracas.
The Cadet “middlemen” yielded
very few yards while turning in an
outstanding job.
All-American Bob Smith step
ped into the limelight for the first
time this year by scoring one
touchdown and carrying the ball 15
times for 76 yards.
Gallopin’ Glenn Lippman, the
conference’s leading ground gainer
and playing at left halfback, right
halfback,' and fullback, gained 80
yards on 18 carries for a 4.4 yard
average.
The Aggies had a 320-280 ad
vantage in total yardage, made 14
first downs to 10 for TCU.
The Frogs gained 212 yaftis on
the ground to 199 for the Cadets
but A&M got 118 yards on passes
to TCU’s 68.

Fayetteville, Ark, Oct. 22;—IP)—
Two linemen who were kicked off
the 1950 Arkansas football squad
for cutting classes ; were heroes
in the Rozarbacks’ 15-14 upset of
previously undefeated Texas.
Center Bob Griffin and Guard
Fred Williams, a pair of fare
double-duty men in this day of
platoon football, were towers of.
strength in the Arkansas line
which opened big holes on offense
when opportunity knocked and
held the mighty Longhorns to four-
first downs.
Before yesterday’s downfall,
Texas was ranked fourth best team
in the nation in the Associated
Press poll.
Last year about this time Arkan
sas Coach Otis Douglas startled
football followers across the coun
try by dismissing Griffin a n d
Williams—not for failure on the
gridiron but for falling behind in
their studies.
“Education is the primary pur
pose of the university and if a
boy doesn’t go to his classes he
can’t play football for me,” Doug
las declared at the time.
Williams and Griffin began hit
ting the hooks; attended all their
classes and improved their grades.
Douglas reinstated them in spring
practice and they have been play
ing the best football of their car
eers this fall.
Griffin Great
After the conquest of Texas,
Douglas commented: “All of the
boys were great, but if any two
linemen ever played terrific foot
ball, Bob and Fred did it.
“Griffin had the finest reactions
I have ever seen in a college line
man.”
The 230-pound center from Fred
erick, Okla., took part in innum
erable tackles. And three or four-
times he broke through so fast
that he nailed Texas quarterback T
Jones for losses befort he could
hand off the ball.
Williams Sets Up Touchdown
Williams set up an Arkansas
touchdown in the first quarter
back by pouncing on a Longhorn
fumble at the Texas 16. Two plays
later he and Griffin opened the
hole at left guard that permitted
halfback Buddy Sutton to score
from the 13.
All the way he made crashing
tackles.
So effective was Arkansas’ de
fensive line that only on one play
—a 79-yard touchdown run by Gib
Dawson—was Texas able to make
more than five yards. And the
Longhorns have a rushing attack
which had rolled over Kentucky,
Purdue, North Carolina and Okla
homa.
Douglas also disclosed Williams
had an A—the highest possible
grade—in military art. That was
the class he was cutting when he
was fired from the team.

Battalion Sports Writer
A&M Consolidated’s Tigers, in
their third straight district victory,
conquered the Waller Bulldogs
34-0 last Friday night on Tiger
Field.
Speedster Jerry Leighton, fleet
half back for the Tigers, scored
two of their five tallies, with Wil
lie Arnold, Gayle Klipple, and Bob
by Jackson crossing the double
stripe for the rest.
Leighton and Arnold, 1-2 in
District 24-B scoring, have com
piled 78 and 54 points respectively
so far this season.
Other Tigers on the high-scorer
list in the district are: George
Johnston, with 20 points; David
Bonnen, 18; Gayle Klipple, and
Bobby Jackson with 12 markers
apiece.
With an over-all reason’s record
of four and two, Coach Othel Cha-
fin, Tiger mentof, should be well
pleased with the showing made by
a team that was reportedly weak
and inexperienced.
Consolidated opened their attack
against Waller early in the second
quarter when Willie Arnold, Leigh
ton’s running mate, scooted 37-
yards to put the ball on the Waller
10, two plays jater, Arnold scored
on a line plunge.
The next two TD’s were a re
sult of sparkling play by scatback
Leighton. First, on a 21-yard run
through most of the Bulldog team,
and the second on a 46-yard areial
from Tiger quarterback Fred An
derson.
George Johnston kicked two out
of three extra points to give the
Tigers a 20-0 lead at half-time.
The third quarter saw the Tig
ers’ Arnold race 35 yards to begin
a march which ended when Gayle
Klipple tore through the Waller
line for touchdown number four.
Bobby Jackson hauled down a
pass from Anderson to make the
final score for the Tigers.
A total of 370 yards was made
by the Tigers on the ground and in
the air against the unfortunate
Waller team.
Tiger defense played an import
ant part in the win with Bobby
Smith, Don Burchard, Melvin Free,
Bob Barlow, George Johnson, and
Dave Bonnen all making a good
showing.
So far this season, including
their 34-0 win over Waller, the
Tigers 134 points while their op
ponents have tallied only 19
against them.
Losing two heartbreaking games
by only one point in each instance
didn’t discourage the Tigers, fox-
in each case they came right back
to win the next weekend.
Consolidated’s record for the
yea,r includes wins over Kosse,
Milano, Magnolia and Waller, and
losses to Madisonville and Cypress-
Fairbanks.
As a result of their two losses,
the Tigers are tied for third place
in District 24-B season standings.-
Starting out with fairly young
and inexperienced material, Coach
Chafin whipped what he had into-
a ball team that anyone will have
a tough time beating.
Next week, the Tigers will travel,
to Hempstead where they play a
strong Hempstead team that is
tied for first-place honors in Disr.
