Texas Knocks Fish
Out of SWC Title
Proving again that past perform
ances mean nothing when A&M
tangles with the University of Tex
as, the pi’eviously unbeaten Fish
were mauled by an aroused Short
horn team, 13-0, in Austin last
Saturday.
In winning their first game of
the 1955 ca'mpaign the Yearlings
knocked A&M out of a second con
secutive Southwest Confernce
freshman championship and hand
ed the title to the Rice Owlets,
who downed Baylor, 28-14, Friday
night.
A&M couldn’t get started, show
ing very little deception and losing
five fumbles to the eager Texas
crew. The only Aggie threat came
late in the fourth period when the
Fish stopped a Yearling drive on
the three and drove to the Texas
17 before fumbling the ball away.
Vince Matthews, Texas’ versatile
passing wizard, was the whole
show for the underdog Shorthorns,
as he passed for the first score and
ran 12 yards from the spread for
mation for the second. Six of his
eight completions were to his big
left end, 6-4 Bob Bryant, a glue
fingered wingman in the typical
Texas tradition.
After being stopped cold by the
young Aggies on their first try
from scrimmage, the Yearlings
moved 80 yards in 16 plays mid
way in the opening quarter for
their first touchdown. Matthews
passed twice for 26 yards during
the drive and, after having one
scoring pass called back for a pen
alty, hit Bryant on the same play
from the 16. Fullback Clari Branch
kicked the point after.
Texas pounced on a loose Jackie
Hathorn pitchout in the second
quarter to set up the other touch
down on the Aggie 28. Three plays
moved the ball to the five and it
looked like the stout Fish line was
going to stop the drive as they
pushed the Shorthorns back to the
12, but on third down Matthews
faded to pass from the spread,
found running room and raced into
pay dirt. Branch’s attempted extra
point was no good, and the score
stood 13-0.

got the best deal.
For years sports writers have
discovered footballers so versatile
they could do everything with a
football but make it talk., cook or
improve on the abused description
of diversity.
So, it should come as no sur
prise that the Longhorns have such
a football player in Walter Fon
dren, the super-talented sopho
more from Houston who consistent
ly appears to be every bit as good
as you heard he would be. As an
all-around footballer, he is already
being classed along side incom
parable Doak Walker, a three
time all-America selection.
If you will excuse the worn ex
pression, he is a coach’s dream, a
footballer’s player, and, of all
things, a fan’s player. Everybody
but the opposition appreciates him.
Homer Norton, who was coach
ing at A&M when Walker was a
soph and now syndicates analyses
of Southwest football, calls Fon
dren “the best soph I ever saw
when he sees daylight.”
One needs to look no further
than the weekly Southwest Confer
ence statistics for proof of Fon-
dren’s versatility.
Some of Fondren’s figures thus
far are better than Walker’s soph
omore statistics. The 19-year-old
Longhorn star has averaged 5.5
yards per rush, compared to Walk
er’s 4.01, and has a 37.2 mean at
punting to measure against Doak’s
34.3.
