I Texas Blotted Out By Frogs, 14-7; Aggies Whip Kice, 19-6 Nix, Bagley Blast That Bowl Dream AUSTIN, Nov. 15 Christian played David to Texas' Goliath today, smashing into 14-to-7 defeat a team which two weeks ago rated No. 1 in the nation and seemed irresistably headed for a major bowl game. Thus curtains fell on the saga of the "invincible Orange Wave" which, once hailed the greatest University of Texas team in history, today made ashes of its Southwest Conference championship hopes and bowl game dreams. Sparked by Quarterback Emory Nix, whose good right arm deadly on passes, and Dean Bagley, 154-pound tailback who chased 55 yards through the entire Texas team for the first Frog marker, the Christians ripped to shreds the vaunted Longhorn de- 'enses and stifled their scor- ng power.

Both clubs played a raging defensive game. Ball carriers frequently were snowed under for losses. The Texas resistance I I it crumpled, however, In the dying -ULHJIJ AX LAO moments of the tilt when, A only eight seconds left, TCU Jackets Trip ACC, Annex Title ABILENE, Nov. 15 air-minded Yellow Jackets of Howard Payne college bagged their ninth Texas conference football championship today, defeating Abilene Shristian college 13 to 0 in the title game. Home-run passfs in the first and second quarters proved too much for the Wildcats, who relied on a vicious running: attack that only once threatened the Howard Payne goal.

Early in "the first period Howard Swann, Jacket fullback, ran under a pass from Tommy Samuels on the Wildcat seven. Two plays later Samuels chunked to Bob Stokes in the end zone for a score. Jones' try for point was wide. Midway of the second quarter Stokes faded back from the A.C.C. 24 and hit Jim Jones, halfback, In the end zone.

Jones converted to complete scoring for afternoon.

Last year financing of the basketball was obtained by an all star basketball game and amateur night and these will be included In Saturday's discussion. The Holiday Season Is Here Step Out In A SUITS from oo Mellinger's Mellinger's Corner 3rd and Main FOOTBALL SCORES scored the winning The Christian drive started with a 33-yard dash off tackle to the Longhorn 33.

Then Frank Med- anich, who frequently ripped through for sizable gains, got five and Nix added four. After a loss and several incomplete passes, hurled one for 19 yards to Van Hall, standing just over the goal line. Phil Roach booted the extra point and ruined the record of a Steer learn which had won six tilts by overwhelming scores before being tied, 7-7, by Baylor last week. Texas' lone marker came late in the first period when, after a TCU punt to the Steer 36, the Long- lorns executed a brilliant. play which wound up with Jack Grain ateraling to Pete Layden who on the speed down a side- ine and outran the Frog secondary over the goal.

Crain placeklcked extra point. It was Dean Bagley, stealing the show from Craln on broken- field wizardry, who tallied the Frogs', initial score just before the half-time whistle. Starting on his own 45, he tried to pass but couldn't find an open receiver. Then he changed his mind and ran with the ball, zigzagging the entire route over the goal line. Several times It appeared he was stopped, but he staggered on.

It was a magnificent exhibition of pace changing, side-stepping and stiff arming. Statistically Texas Christian out- ahono the Longhorns, totaling 147 rards on the ground to the Steers' 119 and annexing 59 by air to the 29. Both teams completed six passes, the Frogs trying 17 to Texas' 19. Both Grain and Layden, who gave fine accounts of themselves in the vicious battle, left the field before the game was over, Grain with a leg Injury. Kyle Gillespie, the Christians' great back whose Injured leg kept him side-lined a number of games, played late in the contest.

For a large part of the second half, the Steers kept the Frogs In their own territory, frequently forcing them to punt from behind their goal line. Sterling guard and tackle play and rushing the passer accounted to a great degree for the Texas loss. Southwest Texas Christian 14, Texas 7. Texas 19, Kice 1 Tulsa 20, Baylor 13. Sou.

Aerial Game Pays Off For Norton Men Cadets Rush Across Three Tallies In First Half HOUSTON, Nov. 15 (AP) Texas A. and master craftsmen cranked up their magnificent passing machine today and assured themselves of no less than a tie for the Southwest Conference championship as they rolled over Rice Institute 19-6. The Aggies thus kept perfect their season's record while the University of Texas team was being? buried hope of resurrection by Texas Christian, 14- Tbe TCU Horned Frogs remained the only team with a chance to share the title with the Cadets. Heading towards a bowl bid, the marauding Aggies rushed over three touchdowns In the first half before the Owls realized -their defensive powers.

Bice wrestled valiantly In the second half, scoring a touchdown and beating off each effort by the Cadets, but.it was too late.to pull the chestnuts out of the fire. The victory was the Aggies' twenty-eighth of their last twenty- nine contests, one of the grandest records in col'legiate football's history. The combination of Leo Daniels and Cullen Rogers brought two of Aggie scores and passing assisted in setting- up another which was scored through the line. The nlash was 12 minutes old when A. and M.

first tallied. Whitlock Zander, Rice fullback, fumbled on the Owl 42 and Bill Sihley, Aggie center, pounced on the ball. Rice was penalized for defensive holding and Derace Moser shot a 14-yard pass to End Jim Sterling which put the ball on the 14. On the next play, Moser found no receiver and sped to the four. Then he drove to the one-foot line and Dennis Andricks, fullback, plowed over.

Jake Webster kicked ejoal. The second period had just opened when Leo Daniels, great little sophomore, sprinted 51 yards with a Rice punt, dancing like a faker on coals as he shot down the sidelines avoiding; Kice tacklcrs. After he stopped on the Owl 24, Daniels fired a pass on the next play to Rogers for the second touchdown. Less than a minute remained ni the first half when Webster shot a 54-yard pass to Sterling on the six. Daniels then chunked to Rogers again for the last score.

Rice drove 59 yards in the final quarter for its tally. Kansas Upsets K. State, 20-16 LAWRENCE, Nov. 15 Denzel GIbbens, a speedy substitute halfback, personally turned the ball game into a madhouse as the underdog University of Kansas Jayhawkers exploded to defeat Kansas State, 20 to 16. in a Big Six conference game played before 10,400.

The 162-pound scatter, named gams captain although he did not get to start, streaked 83 yards with the kickoff in the early minutes of the fourth period to give the Jayhawkers a 14 to 13 edge after Marvin Vandaveer's kick from placement caromed off the heads of linemen and spun dizzily for the extra point Trailing-, 16 to 14, following Earl Williams' field goal for Kansas State, the Jayhawkers surged down the field on passes and with the ball on the K. State 27, Ralph Miller hit Glbbens who gyrated about 15 yards to cross the double stripe and put the game on ice for the Jayhawkers with three minutes to play. Sterling City Qrabs Dist.

Dozens of local men hit the road Friday, Saturday and Saturday night In order to encamped and ready for an early start at the game when the deer Mason opens at dawn Sunday. The rough country of Davit and adjoining mountains seemed to share equal popularity with the hill country around Mason with Big Spring men.

Local sporting goods dealers re- iporis The Big Spring Daily Herald PAGE EIGHT Big Spring, Texas, Sunday, November 16, Pitt Does It Huskers Lose, LINCOLN, Nov. 15 Pitt's Edgar "Special Delivery" Jones was just that today. He won a 14 to 7 victory for the Panthers over Nebraska before 30,000 in near-perfect football weather. There were but 30 seconds to play and the score was tied at 7 to 7 when Jones broke up the ball game. Aebraska had plunged down to Pitt's 40 and Dale Bradley dropped back to pass.

He was rushed and the toss was wobbly. Jones, playing far back, raced up, took the ball off his shoe tops on the Pitt 35 and was off to victory. He spun away from one tackier, slanted to the sideline and went on to pay dirt' without a hand being laid on him. Then, in the last few seconds, he nearly did it again, but was run out of bounds. The victory was Pitts' second in seven games and the loss was Nebraska's fifth in a row, the first time the Huskers have lost that many In succession since the late '90's.

Nebraska started the scoring with a 67-yard second quarter march in which power and deception were neatly mixed. Wayne Sindt began it with a 24 yard dash, Bradley kept It alive with a third down 12 yard sprint. Then, after Sindt went to the three on a formation play, Bradley cut sharply off left end to score. Vic Schleigh, tackle, place kicked the point. Blazin' Ben Leads Canyon To 40-7 Win EL PASO, Nov.

W. -Anderson for 37 yards and the first Buffalo touchdown. In the last quarter he pitched to Walter Word who scampered 15 yards for the score. Louis Conrey plunged over from the two for the final Canyon score. The Miners drove 61 yards for their only touchdown.

Sooners Hit By Missouri Steamroller COLUMBIA, Nov. 15. UP) Sophomore Maurice Wade, his flaming red hair bobbing-up and down on the green turf like a red ball dangling from a Christmas tree, scored three touchdowns today as mighty Missouri crushed Oklahoma 28 to u.

The Big Six football title and a possible bowl bid hung on the outcome, and Missouri, Ignited by its TNT trio of backs, waltzed with the honor; before a record crowd of 29,000 homecoming rooters. Wade was just a cog in the Tigers' powerful machine which was rated the nation's top running team last week and which: proved Its greatest today by rambling 303 yards to the Sooners' 53. Bunding Bob Steuber, a member of the yardage-crazy trio, had an average 5.5 yards In 20 times with the ball. Harry Ice, the other unit, made 3.1 with 11 runs and springy Wade was credited with 6 In 19 carries. Missouri gave a hint of what to expect in a dazzling first quarter.

Wade bounced out of the trickey formation and weaved down the field for a 23-yard scoring: dash. The crowd had caught its breath when Steuber caught gluey-fingered Bert Ekern, an end, with a 28-yard pass for another tally. Relentlessly, the Tigers scored agein in the third and the fourth as the Sooners, streaming onto the field in units, collapsed. Steuber converted perfectly from placement after each touchdown.
