members counted an aggregate of
14 touchdowns to push the season
total to 180, 38 more than were
scored in the 1960 season. Co
champion Texas was the most im
proved offensively, scoring 42
touchdowns in contrast to only 22
the previous season.
Texas A&M and SMU also
showed big gains in touchdown
scoring, while Arkansas, Rice and
Baylor scored the identical num
ber they counted in 1960.
Field goal production increased
at even a higher percentage with
an all-time record of 26 kicked
this season, almost twice as many
as the 14 scored last year. The
1960 total was also a league rec
ord.
Butch Blume of Rice established
both team and individual field goal
records for a season when he
kicked two in the 26-14 conquest
of Baylor. That ran his season
total to six, eclipsing the individ
ual record of 4 set by Dan Petty
of Texas last year and erasing
the team mark that was shared
by Rice and Texas.
Both Baylor and Texas Tech
equaled the old team record this
season, and H. L. Daniels of the
Red Raiders matched Petty’s
standard by kicking three field
goals in Tech’s 16-14 come-from-
behind victory over West Texas
State Saturday.
Seven of the eight members
stepped up their scoring in 1961,
with only Texas Tech falling short
of the 1960 figure. Although the
Red Raiders failed to boost their
scoring, they improved their total
offense per game from 214.5 last
year to 252.0 this season. Texas
made the biggest gain in scoring,
164 to 291, but SMU and A&M
accomplished the highest percent
age increases with gains of 31 to
92 and 73 to 184, respectively.
Texas was the per-game leader
in four of the six per-game sta
tistical departments, was ninner-
up in a fifth and ranked fourth
in the other. The Longhorns set
a new rushing record per game
(285.8) and threatened their own
total offense mark. Arkansas,
which shared the championship
with Texas, took top honors in

and was runner-up to Texas in
four other categories.
Baylor led the passing gain per
game, while SMU emerged with
the best completion percentage for
the season (.520). Baylor also
led in touchdown passes (14) to 11
for Texas.
Texas A&M emerged as the
team leader in punting with a thin
38.0 to 37.9 edge over Rice with
just one more kick for the season,
59 to 58. A&M also led in pass
interceptions (19).

Baylor Workout
For Gotham Bowl
WACO, Tex. (A*)—Baylor hus
tled through its first workout
Monday in preparation for the
Gotham Bowl game next Satur
day at New York.
Coach John Bridgers said “our
reports and films indicate Utah
State might well be the best team
we have met this season.”
The Bears had no important in
juries from last week’s season
closing game with the Rice Owls
and quarterback Bobby Ply, who
was able to pass but couldn’t run,
will be back at full speed for the
Gotham Bowl.
Bridgers said Merlin Olsen,
Utah State line star, was regarded
by the pros as the finest tackle
in college football. “But they
also have another fine tackle and
a really great guard that would
have to rank too as line leaders,”
Bridgers declared.
“Their line will be the biggest
we have met this season and will
outweigh us about 20 pounds to
the man, which means we are
going to have to spread out and
throw that ball if we expect to
stay with a fine, powerful team
like Utah State.”

Alworth, Saxton Lead All-SWC Team
DALLAS, Tex. (A 5 ) — An All-
Southwest Conference team that
includes two juniors and only two
repeaters from last year — Lance
Alworth of Arkansas and Johnny
Burrell of Rice—was named Mon
day by the eight coaches.
The coaches were uanimous in
their thinking about only two
players. One was Alworth, the all-
around backfield star of the Raz-
orbacks. The other was Jim Sax
ton, the mighty runner of Texas.
However, it was in the back-
field that there was no question
about who would make the team.
Saxton, Alworth, Mike Gotten of
Texas and Roland Jackson of Rice
all others.
Saxton and Alworth are half
backs, Jackson is a fullback and
Gotten a quarterback, thus the
backfield was actually picked by
position despite the fact that only
the four top backs are supposed
to be named and often it comes
out with only halfbacks.
Bob Moses of Texas was an
easy choice for one of the end po
sitions but Burrell had to beat out
Jimmy Collier of Arkansas for the
other job. Collier lacked only one
vote of tying Burrell.
There was no question about the
tackles — Don Talbert of Texas
and Robert Johnston of Rice made
were head and shoulders above the positions easily.
Patterson Retains
Title OverMcNeely
TORONTO <A>> —Floyd Patter
son floored Irish Tom McNeeley
eight times Monday night while
knocking out the previously un
beaten dead-game challenger in
2:51 of the fourth round of a free-
swinging brawl to retain his world
heavyweight boxing title.
McNeeley also slipped down sev
eral times and managed to stagger
the champion whose hand just
about scraped the floor in the
wild fourth round.
It was obvious that McNeeley,
a 10-1 underdog, came to fight.
He went out a badly battered and
beaten man but a brawler who
won the cheers of the crowd.
Referee Jersey Joe Walcott, the
ex-champion, counted out McNee
ley as he gamely struggled to get
back on his feet after the last
knockdown.
The 24-year-old challenger, un
beaten in 23 previous fights, drew
an ovation from the fans as he
left the ring. For a few fleeting
seconds in the fourth round, he
had Pattei’son on queer street but
the sleek and fit champ snapped
out of it and resumed his attack.
The champion, vowing he would
be 100 per cent better than in his
last title defense in March against
Ingemar Johansson, weighed 188
while the beaten challenger
checked in at 197.
Patterson won easily as expect
ed but McNeeley was hardly the
sacrificial lamb he was supposed
to be. He showed the Maple Le^af
Gardens fans why he is known as
boxing’s angry young man.
McNeeley rushed to the attack
from the opening bell, shoving off
the champ, but Patterson’s left
hook dropped him in the middle
of the first round. He was up on
one knee at 1 but had to take the
automatic 8 under the Ontario
commission rules. In a few sec
onds McNeeley was down again
on his green trunks with the white
shamrock on the side. This time
Walcott called it a slip.
Raymond Schoenke of Southern
Methodist, one of the juniors on
the team, made a guard position
by himself but there was a tie
for the other spot between Dean
Garrett of Arkansas and Johnny
Treadwell of Texas. Treadwell is
the other junior.
Bill Hicks of Baylor won the
center spot without real competi
tion.
The second team looks strong
enough to play anybody a good
game:
ENDS — Collier and Buddy lies,
Texas Christian.
TACKLES—John Childress, Ar
kansas, and Bobby Plummer, Tex
as Christian.
