By ARXOTT DUNCAN TUCSON Texas Western's hard-bitten Miners brightened their chances for their first Border Conference championship here last night with a lopsided 29-0 victory over Arizona. The Miner astounded 21,500 fans with its complete dominance of Arizona's well-regarded front wall in spite of a weight disadvantage.

Jesse Whittenton, Western's brilliant split quarterback and the Conference's most valuable player last year, ran a diversified attack which included some accurate passing of his own. No element in the Arizona defense was untested, although Paul Hatcher at end on defense and Clarence Anderson at tackle worked manfully to stave off the rout.

The 14,000 spectators, who came expecting to see their Aztecs trounced, had to get their kicks from the pre-game and halftime spectacles that had 1,500 horn-tooters on the color-splashed gridiron. The football game, featuring 70-yards-plus runs by Gene Mitcham, Leon Burton, and Joe Bellan, was a match between Goliath and a sluggish David with a broken slingshot.

San Diego State, using accurate passes by quarterback Don Ma-gee off the split to good effect, pushed to the Arizona State three once and to the 11 another time both in the second quarter but couldn't score. Arizona State scored its first two touchdowns with less than four minutes of the game gone. San Diego received the kickoff and on' the second scrimmage play Sun Devil Bob Sedlar recovered a Doug Harvey fumble on the Aztec 27-yard line and carried it across with runs of 23 and four yards. Dave Gravbill scored on the next play, intercepting a Don Ma-gee pass on the San Diego 27 and running unopposed down the right sideline for the touchdown John Jankans intercepted another Aztec pass five minutes later and the Devils went over the 26-yard route in five plays. A 13-yard pass over the middle.

Gravbill to end 10m utcn, put six more points on the board. It was 20-0 at the quarter. Arizona State grew lethareic at that point and scored onlv once more before the intermission. In the meantime San Diego drove tnree times inside the Arizona State 30. Arizona State's fourth score came on a scintillating 70-yard gallop down the left sidelines by Gene Mitcham, who out-sprinted the Aztec safety man the final 15 yards.

It was 27-0 at the half. The Sun Devils struck for the fifth time with 9:42 remaining in the third quarter. This time it was the fleet freshman Burton who scampered around right end for 77 yards. Jimmv Pvles dove for Burton on the Aztec 10 but missed and was so shaken up he had to be taken from the game. Touchdown No.

There were few dazzling long runs in the Western scheme. The Miners just ground it out in shots of two to 10 yards or so with Whittenton tossing in an occasional pass of 10 to 16 yards or so to Dick Forrest or John Howie. That's the way the first touchdown was mustered and that came as the game opened. Western took the kick-off and started from 74 yards away.

Eleven plays later Hugh Har- a 21-7 triumph over the Irish yards and five into enemy mitts for interceptions. Whittenton and Company completed six of 15 for 68 yards, but they were timely shots which boosted the Miners along. Much use was made of the quick pass over the line to Howie and Forrest. The Miner line was so solid it would be difficult to name a standout. All hands were competent on offense and defense.

The victory was Western's sixth in the last eight meetings between the two teams and its first in conference play after a tie with Texas Tech.

Two Arizona offsides penalties helped, one nullifying a Western fumble recovered by Anderoson. Guard Charles Wilcox stale a ball from Wildcat quarterback skip Corley early in the second quarter and was downed promptly on the Arizona eight. Two plays were enough, with Rusty Rutledge piling over guard for the score.

The Miners stung Arizona with a quick safety and touchdown as the second half opened and the Cats came up with their deepest advance to the Western 29-yard line. The safety came when Marty Lang juggled the ball momentarily on an attempted punt from his 16, guard Jimmy Johnson blocked the punt, and Lang fell on the ball in the end zone. Arizona, by rules, then had to kick from its 20 and the Miners drove right back with Whittenton tagging Howie for 18 yards and Rutledge breaking loose for 35 yards, the second longest run of the night. Reeves Tevis plowed through a wall for one yard to score. Corley's run of 22 yards after he had been trapped trying to pass helped carry Arizona to the Miner 29, but an unsuccessful passing flurry ended that threat, Wilcox's pass interception of an aerial by Art Luppino and a brisk jaunt of 25 yards under convoy produced the final TD in the third period.

Luppino, the nation's leading rusher going into the game, found few opportunities to strut his stuff, carrying only 11 times compared with his usual 25 or so, but nevertheless was high man for the game with 77 yards. He got 40 of it on one third-quarter end run. Rutledge was good for 65 yards net in 12 carries. Because Corley was nabbed so repeatedly by Miner linemen before he could get rid of the ball, Arizona netted only 63 yards rushing.

The 34-year-old Englishman, son -of the famed late speed king Sir Malcolm Campbell, sent the 26-foot long Bluebird hurtling to the existing record on Lake Ullswater in England last July.

Campbell hopes to do even better in his regulation two runs over a measured mile course today. But he said: "Speed itself, and the record, however, are secondary. There are so many scientific sides to this venture it would take hours to explain. There is a medical side, an electronic side, structural side, all important." And he conceded, as previously reported, there is a military phase possible adaptation of information gained in the speed assault for use in naval operations. Campbell does not like the phrase "water barrier," and calls it one originated by imaginative writers.

"Don't misunderstand," he added, "although I don't like the term Nvater barrier it is not a scare word. It is real and it has killed two men, John Cobb (of England), and the Italian, Verga." Both were racing at about 200 miles per hour "when their boats disintegrated. Just matchwood." The Bluebird's turbo-jet engine packs a thrust of 4,000 pounds. The craft was designed, Campbell said, with the hope of correcting some of the faults that cost the life of his friend, Cobb. At somewhere between 200 and 250 miles an hour a boat starts to pitch, Campbell continued.

The solution has not been found but "someday we will, just like the aircraft designers found a way to make supersonic flight."
