Baylor and Texas unveiled light ning-fast offenses and rock-like defenses in thrashing Wake Forest and California. Although neither opponent was very highly regard ed, the significant thing in each game was a complete reversal from last year. Baylor, a passing team in 1960, ground out 292 yards rushing against the Deacons, then picked up another 150 passing to take the total offense lead with 442 yards. Texas unveiled an effective aer ial game against the Golden Bears, passing for 115 yards and two touchdowns. Another of the 21 passes the Longhorns attempted was dropped in the end zone. Texas ball carriers had a field day at California’s expense, rushing for 304 yards, tops for the conference. Rice, while not setting the sta tistic pace, used a well-balanced attack to down highly regarded LSU, 16-3. The Owls’ balance was evident in 110 yards rushing and 104 yards passing, both against a team considered basically defen sive. Individual leader in total offense was TCU’s towering quarterback, Sonny Gibbs. Gibbs handled 19 plays, rushing for 30 yards and passing for another 93 in his team’s 17-16 upset of Kansas. Jerry Cook, Texas halfback, gained 110 yards in 13 carries for second place. Top scorers were Ronnie Bull and Carl Choate, both of Baylor. The hard-running Bull raced for y- v&v' ail ISill iliit mk 11111 two TD’s and first place with 12 points. Choate, Baylor kicking specialist, kicked four extra points and a field goal for seven points. Rice’s Billy Cox completed six of eight passes for an impressive .750 percentage, to lead SWC passers. Cox’s six completions gained 110 yards and accounted for both his team’s touchdowns. Second was Baylor’s Bobby Ply, who completed six of 12 for 75 yai'ds and a pair of TD’s. Leading pass receiver was TCU’s Buddy lies with three catches for 54 yards. Second was Charles Tal bert of Texas with three receptions for 36 yards. The top punters for the confer ence were both from SMU. Har old Morgan and Jerry Rhome punted three times apiece, with Morgan averaging 46 yards per kick. His teammate, Rhome, was right behind with a 42.3 average.

A crowd of more than 60,000 is expected for the intersectional fracas which will be the Bengal Tigers’ home opener. ' Kickoff time is 6 p.m. LSU dropped a 16-3 decision to Rice in the teams’ opener in Hous ton last Saturday. Head Coach Jim Myers says that while a victory over Houston would have been appreciated, the picture for games to come is far from discouraging. “From what the A&M coaching staff saw from its vantage point on the field and from the game movies, things are looking up. “We were playing a good foot ball team and Coach Harold Lahar of Houston must be right in his contention that this is the most outstanding club in Houston his tory. “Our players learned several lessons against Houston, mainly that you cannot commit four crit ical mistakes and win a ball game,” Myers said.

A&M’s “youngsters” came in for praise from the head coach. “We were pleased with the play of our sophomores against Hous ton—especially Halfback Jim Linn- staedter and Fullback Jerry Rog ers—and two other newcomers, Quarterbacks Jim Keller and John Erickson,” Myers said. Keller had not played a down of college football prior to last Sat urday night and Erickson came to Aggieland as a junior college transfer.

COMPUTERS CAN NOW TRADE DATA COAST TO COAST OVER TELEPHONE LINES IBM has developed systems of computer-to-com- puter communication, which foretell the greatest advances in data processing since the introduction of the stored-program computer. These Tele-Proc essing* systems greatly extend the useful range of data processing—putting their power at the disposal of businessmen and scientists located miles away. | Now it is possible to transmit data between two computer installations at speeds up to 62,500 char acters per second via broad-band communications channels. Any number of computing systems can be linked in this way in order to exchange information or feed it to a data processing center. As a result, although they may be separated by a continent, You naturally have a better chance to grow with a growth company computers can bring their capacities to bear on a single massive problem or operation.
