Versatile Texas Eleven Smothers Louisiana State By 33-0 AUSTIN', Tex. (UP) A Fear that the Texas air attack would be numbed by the loss of the great Bobby Layne was practically dispelled today as his successor, Paul Campbell, performed well as the key man in the Texas attack. Campbell and Rookie Billy Allen teamed to give Texas a passing record of 10 completions in 19 trys for 185 yards. The Texas running attack generated 206 yards and the veteran forward wall held LSU to a mere 38 yards aground and 81 in the air. Two touchdowns came in the third period and another in the fourth.

Campbell's 42-yard aerial to End George McCall set up the third touchdown, moving the ball to the LSU 28, from where Sprinter Perry Samuels skipped over. An LSU fumble on the two and a weak kick out to the 34 set up another score minutes later. It took the Texas jugger naut nine plays to score, with Billy Pyle plugging over the final two yards. gathered confidence and momentum yesterday to smother Louisiana State, 33-0, and stamp itself a worthy successor to last year's Sugar Bowl championship team. A crowd of 44,000 was in Memorial stadium.

The power-laden Te.vans punched oer two touchdowns in the opening then turned to the air in the final half to win going away in the football season opener for both schools. THE OTHER Texas touchdown came in the early minute of the final period with Allen, a "discovery" of pre-season training, shining as a passer. He hit Ends Peppy Blount and Ben Proctor for 13-yard and 15-yard pass gains and then turned the job over to Frank Guess, who tossed the touchdown aerial to Proctor from the 19.

A crowd of 10,000 saw the Thun dering Herd from Huntington, W.

hold a favored Miami to a 6-6 tie for the first half but the Redskins' depth began telling in the third quarter, thereafter, and the home team scored almost at will. ALTHOUGH MIAMI outgained Marshall in the first half, 10 first downs to four, an 11-yard touchdown pass from Mel Olix to End Dick Urich in the opening quarter was the only tally the Redskins could put across before halftime. Marshall matched this a few minutes later as Charlie Fieldson hit Boh Hartley with a 33-yard pass on the three yard line and Hartley lugged it over. In the third quarter, Paul Shoults, Miami halfback and captain, swept seven yards around right end for a touchdown, capping a 67-yard drive. Wid Miller's placekick was good.

FOR NIM PE Chalk Up One For Arkansas LITTLE ROCK JP) Arkansas' Razorbacks, though sluggish at times, outclassed little Abilene, Texas Christian college, 40-6, yesterday as they opened the 1948 football season and dedicated the State's $1,250,000 war memorial stadium here before a sun-blistered crowd of 27,000. With Clyde Scott, their great tailback, setting the pace, the Razorbacks flashed a powerful running attack which netted 307 yards. The Arkansas defense held the outmanned Wildcats to 26 yards rushing but looked ragged against punt returns. Scott, who netted 119 yards on 10 rushes, passed for one touchdown and set up three.

Ross Pritchard, fast, pass-catching wingback, scored the Razorbacks' first two touchdowns. Another first-quarter tally was contributed by Fullback Leon "Muscles" Campbell, but from then on the point-making was handled by reserves. Wolverines Slap Reserves I5v 1 1-7 ANN ARBOR, Mich.

Wake Forest struck in the third when Fetzer passed 17 yards from bis own 28 to End Ed Hoey, who raced to the George Washington seven.

Benton, on the other hand, always was a polished receiver, but nature didn't bless him with the speed with which she blessed Speedie and Hutson.

All three were the targets of brilliant passers. Speedie has Otto Graham, who can throw 'em long or short with deadly accuracy. Hutson was pitched to by Arnie Herber and Cecil Isbell, two very good throwers. Benton had his best years after teaming up with Bob Waterfield. All three ends were key men in their teams' attacks.

Head Coach George "Lefty" James admitted today that his Cornell university football team was lacking in depth. The weakness was particularly noticeable in the line, James said, where almost all positions have been taken over by sophomores because of injuries. The contact work of recent days has reduced the roster to less than 30. myth that his effectiveness was dua, to the fact that he had a fine decoy in Dante Lavelli, a fine receiver at right end, who has been laid up with a broken leg.

"They proved their greatness over a much longer stretch than I've been playing. After I've been catching passes as long as they, we'll sec how the records compare." says Speedie. "Right now all I can say is that I'm highly honored to be mentioned in the same breath with them." The guy even talks like a champion. ENROLL NOW FOR FALL COURSES!

The experts' lofty opinion of the spindly, curly-haired, good-natured Scot is reflected in their selection of him as a two-time nominee on the all-pro team. Thut homage, however, isn't to satisfy the curiosity of many newly cultivated football addicts people who became interested in the play-for-pay flport when the conference was organized in 1916. What they want to know is, how does Speedie compare with Don Hutson, former pass-snatching phenomenon for the Green Bay Tackers. How does he compare with Jim Benton, ex-veteran receiver for the Los Angeles Rams. The only method by which the comparative skills of Speedie, Hutson and Benton could have been gauged would have been for them to piny on the same team with the same passer Bgninst the same caliber of opposition.

Observers who have seen all three in action during their best years are of the opinion that Speedie employs almost the same artistry as Hutson.
