Led by the silI-Americcui performance of one Dick Vitek, the passing and throwing ability of Jim Shockey, and the magnificent defensive show of Joe Routt, the Farmers from College Station handed the Ponies their worst licking since Matty Bill became.associated with the Methcdist institution. It was the first time since 1930 the Ag- gies had scored on the galloping Mustangs. The one bright spot in the Mustang defeat was the aerial with Goodson and Dcvrell working in the combination. lose Todd The lost the services of brilliant Dick Todd before they could get possession of the ball in the opening period when a hard block injured the sensational so phomore, but they did very well without.

When Tuffy was the outstanding gridder at George Washington university the G. W. publicity department put on a determined drive to have him named on everybody's all-America team. They flooded the sports desks of the nation with three-sheet blasts that left the sports writers dizzy. So great was the effort in Leemans' behalf that it caused considerable suspicion.

The result was that Leemans failed to get the recognition due him. There can be no doubt about Tuffy's ability to carry a football for long gains. Not after the way he has been ploughing through the bulky lines of the National football league. He's a real football no mistake about former G. W.

U. star as the best ball carrier he ever has had on the Giants' roster. Better Than Feathers? With the National league's season at the half-way post, figures show that Tuffy has an excellent chance of equaling or bettering the league record of 1,004 yards gained in- one season set by Beattie Feathers of the Chicago Bears in 1934. Up to mid-season Leemans had gained a total of 502 yards, exactly one-hal: of the record. Since Leemans hac played in just slightly over four games his record is all the more impressive.

Rice flipped fifteen passes while the Razorbacks showed a homecoming crowd of five thousand to only twenty aerials.

Rice runners made fans gasp with two spectacular plays when they twice ran more than half the field for touchdowns.

The Owls made the first one by running back a kick-off. Schuehle took the Arkansas boot and ran it back to the Rice thirty- seven where he lateraled to Vickers who ran to the goal. The seconc Owl touchdown came when Neece took a Porker punt on his own eighteen and ran along the sidelines for another score.

FORT WORTH, Nov. 7 UP) The formidable Texas Christian Horned Frogs, with sharp-shooting Sammy Baugh completing passes almost at will, hammered the Texas Longhorns into submission here today, 27 to 6, in a rough and tumble gridiron battle before 12,000 spectators. Although they knew their only chance of winning was to break up Slingin 1 Sam's deadly passing game, the Longhorns were utterly unable to cover the screen of speedy backs and ends ranging down the field to receive bullet heaves. The scoring honors went to right halfback McClure who ripped through the burly Texas line for four touchdowns, but in each case it was the dangerous Baugh -who was largely responsible for advancing the ball into scoring position. To top it off, Sammy intercepted Sheridan's pass on his own 35- yard line in the last minute of play and raced down the sidelines 57 yards before being thrown out of bounds on the Texas eight.

-Texas was penalized five for offside and McClure piled up on a mass of linesmen, three yards short of another score as the game ended. Rough playing brought frequent penalties during the game. Texas, losing a total of 85 yards, and TCU 40, were irregularities. Unnecessary roughness charged against Capt. Clint Small of Texas virtually gave the Horned their touchdown.
