Rules of War Whatever the reasons, it's all to the good that LSU and Texas have introduced some "Marquis of Queensbury Rules" into their scramble for football talent. The hands-off pact does not mean that the Aggies won't go after any more Louisiana athletes, or that LSU will cease recruiting in Texas. It doesn't neces- sarily mean mat the ieeling between the respective athletic departments will hence- rf Win 10th Straight In Series By JACK FISER Times Sports Editor WAR MEMORIAL STADIUM, LITTLE ROCK, Nov. 19 Louisiana State's burly Bengals" extended their mysterious domination of Arkansas football teams today by outclassing the Razor-backs, 13-7, for the War Skule's tenth straight regular-season triumph in the ancient series. The amazing Tigers, who were scheduled to run out of gas several weeks ago in the face of football's thorniest schedule, continued improving instead and actually whipped the Porkers by a much wider margin than the six points that won it.

While the superb Tiger line was slamming the door in the face of fullback Henry Moore and his jHfclJI fSVt Kjv unc light But it It -TV no incidents oetween lsu and sucn as -the one that moved Richard Gay from Tulane to College Station after he had already enrolled at the New Orleans institu- iMtC1.

RAYMOND BATES plunges over from the three yard line in the first quarter yesterday to put Northwestern State College ahead, 7-6, in a homecoming battle SPOIL HOMECOMING BRYANT Under the provisions of the informal agreement, both schools can go after a boy for all they're worth until one of them signs him to a grant-in-aid or a letter of intent. Once that's done, the other school is bound not to approach him any further, or even to award him a scholarship if he should change his mind on his own.

For the young prospects, it works out like this: whereas some of them have been accustomed in the past to sign an LSU grant-in-aid just to get recruiters out of their hair, with a view to thinking over propositions a little longer, they can no longer keep two possibilities on the string until the last possible moment. When they sign with Ole Lou they do it for. keeps so far as the Ags are concerned, at least. Although the pact was to all appearances entered into freely by both parties, Ole Lou would seem sure to reap the greater benefit from it. The Tigers have not attempted to recruit extensively in Texas for years and according to Coach Paul Dietzel, do not plan to do so in the future.

On the other hand, has made greater and more productive forays into Louisiana than any other out-of-state school. Indeed, one observer has opined that Dietzel licked his biggest single headache when he got old friend Bear Bryant off his back. Competition from other SWC schools has been negligible. So much in LSU's favor docs the pact seem that one wonders why Bryant, a hard-hearted horse-trader if there ever was one, agreed to any such thing. He and ex-aide Dietzel are known to be on friendly terms, but sentiment has never hobbled the Bear when wins and losses were involved.

Perhaps it's significant that the news of the agreement was broken by backers, who appeared eager to publicize it. They seemed to feel that regardless of which school gets the better of the bargain, it's important that the grid prospects of this area know as quickly as possible how matters stand, so they'll be wary about what they sign. According to Southeastern Conference rules, LSU can get John Henries on its grant-in-aids several months before Southwest Conference members can take any action in that direction. History Repeating Not too many folks may realize it, but the new pact was the second such agreement into which LSU has entered with a formidable recruiting rival. The first one was the gentleman's agreement made in LSU HALFBACK CHUCK JOHNS barely touches a pass from quarterback M.

(United Press Telephoto.) -f uown kicked the point after touchdown and the Lions had a 13-7 lead as the quarter ended. McNew went in at this point and his first pass attempt was intercepted by Frankie Bourgeois on the 50 to end what threat it might have been. Another NSC drive fizzled and McNew punted, but it was partially blocked and SLC took over on the Demon 40.

They drove to the 27 where Strickland completed a pass to Husser in the end zone and Bailey added the point after. The Lions were off again but fumbled on the 50. McNew's first pass attempt was intercepted again but the Demons returned the favor later as Johnson intercepted a Strickland aerial on the 23 and returned it 69 yards before being brought down from behind. That try was stopped on the five as a fourth down pass was just short of a first down. The Lions controlled the ball for the next 40 seconds and left the field with a 20-7 halftime advantage.

A Strickland to Rod Vizinat pass down to the one foot line with three minutes left in the third quarter was the first bit of action of interest besides Exercise Sagebrush. Strickland went over on a quarterback sneak on the next play and Bailey again added the PAT for a 27-7 lead. Willard Rachal, ex-Byrd High athlete, took the ensuing kickoff on the 12 and carried it all the way back down the near sideline 88 yards for a Northwestern touchdown. O'Neal added the extra point to keep the dim Demon hopes alive. Southwestern 13 7 7 027 Northwestern 7 0 7 620 Touchdowns SLC Morere, Mar-fauz, Husser, Strickland; NSC-Bates, Rachal, Chesson.

In the first game, the Broadmoor Demons romped over Claiborne, 26-0, as Bookie Shillcutt scored twice on runs of four and three yards and Howell and Hastings scored one apiece on carries of 40 and 48 yards respectively. The Demons finished the season undefeat ed, untied, and un-scored upon. They will play Waller Monday night at 6 p.m.

for the championship of the 85-pound league. In the second game Queensboro defeated St. Joseph's, 20-0. Odom Howard, and Murdock scored the three touchdowns for Queensboro and Mike Ferris scored both extra points. The afternoon game between Cedar Grove and South Highlands was filmed by the Walt Disney Studios for future showing on their "Mickey Mouse Program" over nationwide television.

Both teams played 'heads-up" ball of which the 19-0 score in Cedar Grove's favor was no indication. Rickey Meredith scored two touchdowns on runs of 25 and 35 yards and proved to be the outstanding player of the game both offensively and defensively. Ronnie Mercer scored the other touchdown on a pass-interception play which netted 45 yards. 27-20 with Southeastern But Southeastern THE YARDSTICK Arlr.

After the teams had slugged it out scorelessly for two quarters, senior halfback Chuck Johns broke the Bengals out front for keeps with a brilliant 64-yard scamper on the first scrimmage play of the third period. Early in the fourth quarter fullback O. K. Ferguson got another touchdown on a 20-yard off-tackle slant to give the visitors a 13-0 cushion. Arkansas one touchdown was the result of a momentary defensive let-down following the Ferguson score.

Halfback Ronnie Underwood took the kickoff on his own 12 and. rabbited straight up the middle for 88 yards to give Razor-backs a last ray of hope. It was vain hope, though, because that was the only serious defensive mistake the Tigers made in this sunny Saturday. The hard-socking LSU line, paced as usual by Earl Leggett, Joe Tuminello, Don Scully and Buck Alexander, limited the Porkers to a net 65 yards rushing and threw Arkansas backs for losses totaling 56 yards. Meanwhile an unusually alert secondary held the enemy to four pass completionsmost of them at the wrong end of the field.

94 PORKER YARDS The 94 yards Arkansas recorded in total defense were by far -the Mitchellmen's smallest of the season. The Tigers' aerial game was well off form as starting quarterback could complete but four of 15 flings for 67 yards. But the ground game more than made up the difference by racking up 235 along the low road. Johns, the hard-running Ray-ville senior, was by far the standout individual with his net 114, but Ferguson also accounted for 68. The triumph, Ole Lou's third in nine games, extended the Tigers' streak to 11 straight games without losing to Arkansas.

The Hogs' last victory in the series was in 1929 and the only break in the Bengal winning string since that time was a scoreless tie in the 1947 Cotton Bowl contest. LSU BIDS FIRST The game was not very old when LSU made its first After penalties and a big loss had stymied the Porkers, Johns returned a Walker punt to the Arkansas 45. Chuck, Ferguson and Gonzales paced a series of short slugs at the line that carried down to the 13, where it was third and one. But Reynolds fumbled on a keeper and guard Wayland Roberts recovered ions By BILLY BAKER Times Sports Writer DEMON STADIUM, NATCHITOCHES, Nov. 20 Exercise Sagebrush and Southeastern Louisiana College combined beautifully here this afternoon to steal all the thunder at Northwestern State College's homecoming event and down the Demons, 27-20.

The Lions from SLC took advantage of every break in the first half to run up a 20-7 lead at the half and dug in to hold off a desperate fourth-quarter Demon rally to take the Gulf States Conference tilt. Halfback Pete Morere, quarterback Wayne Strickland and All-Gulf States Conference end Huey Husser were the big guns in the THE YAKDSTICK SIC NSC Downs 12 10 Yards Gn.

Strickland passed for one to Husser and went over from the one while Morere paced the Lions on the ground. Bob Marfouz scored the other SLC tally.

Northwestern was crippled by the loss of All-Gulf States Conference quarterback Red McNew. Billy Johnson quarterbacked the first half and ex-Byrd High star Spanky McCoy led the comeback attempt. EX-BYRDS HELP Another Byrd lad. Willard Ra- chal, and Clyde Chesson, returning for the first time since before the State Fair game in Shreveport, were the big guns in the comeback attempt. Exercise Sagebrush got into the act with the "battle of Natchitoches" being staged in the Army maneuver and fans lined the top of the stadium rail during the game to observe the action rather than watch the game.

Southeastern took the kickoff with Morere taking on the three and returning to the midfield stripe. They picked up three first downs mostly on the strength of Strickland passing arm, down to the Demon 15 where Morere went around right end to score the first touchdown. Morere missed the conversion attempt but the Lions had a 6-0. lead with four minutes gone in the quarter. But the Demons set out to match 'em once they got their hands on the ball.

Johnson, subbing for the injured McNew, led the home team down to the three, also picking up three first downs, and on the second play within the five, Bates plowed over the middle and O'Neal added the PAT to put the Demons up 7-6. Southeastern got a golden oppor tunity on the NSC 12 as Johnson, trapped behind the line of scrimmage, tried to lateral and Huey Husser intercepted for SLC. A pass put them on the one foot line where Marfouz pushed across for the tally. Ken Bailey Fan Fare NSC, December of 1949 between and suddenly one little man was free in the secondary with a head start. He went the rest of the way untouched for the TD that put Ole Lou on top, 6-0.

Durwood Graham booted 'er through there to make it 7-0. Reynolds' ten-yard pitch to Tuminello sparked another Bengal push a few minutes later, but it died just inside Arkansas territory. Then, after a punt exchange, the Porkers got a break as quarterback Matt Burn faded to throw, was smeared and fumbled. End Jerrv McFadden fell on the ball at LSU's 25. But the Pigs couldn't cash it in.

A screen toss lost seven yards and on the next play Underwood was smeared by Ferguson and coughed it up to Bob Smith on the 41. Again the Tigers moved. Johns running and a 15-yard personal foul penalty against the Pigs got the ball past mid-field and Reynolds threw to Johns for an 13-yard pick-up to the 18. But little Rogers Overbey stole another Reynolds heave on the goal line and sprinted out to the eight. Nesbitt got away a beautiful quick-kick that rolled dead on the Tiger 26.

2ND PUSH BEGINS There began LSU's second payoff push. Ferguson, Johns and Gonzalez kept plastering the weakening Arkansas forwards on straight running plays until the ball was on the Razorback 35. Johns split the left side for five and Gonzalez roared through the same hole tor ten more to the 20. Then Ferguson breezed off left tackle, cut out to Coffin Corner and went all the way for the score. Graham's placement sailed low and wide, leaving LSU in charge by 13-0.

As manv readers have heard, that Tiger- the ball in the air, getting out to the Arkansas 20 before Gonzales downed him. Then rame a romolete change of complexion. Arkansas failed to go an-" LSU got the ball via a punt at its own 41.

On the first play Joe May fumbled a pitchout at the line of scrimmage and fullback Gerald Nesbitt got it for Arkansas. Nesbitt and right half Ronnie Underwood churned to the 14 in two carries, but there the impetus died. On third down Don Christian bobbled the football and Buck Alexander recovered for the Tigers at their 18 to stave off the Hogs' initial thrust. Shortly into the second period Arkansas threatened again after Don Horton had raced a kick back 24 yards to the Bengal 44. Horton and Moore bulled through for a first down on the 34 and the Hogs eventually piled as far ts the 26 before disaster set in again.

A bad pitchout on fourth down went wild and rolled back to the LSU 45 before Horton could fall on it, and Ole Lou took over there. Then followed a long period of inconvulsive "punt-and-pray football that lasted until the Tigers got possession on their own 33 with less than three minutes left in the first half. Running plays got a first down on the 44 and Reynolds went back into the game with instructions to throw. M. C.

fired one to Joe Tuminello for 13, another to Johns for 25 and it was first down on the Razorback 18. The threat petered out like the others as Christian intercepted a heave on the goal line and made it back to the 15 as the clock ran out. QUICK LSU SCORE The spectators had hardly settled back into their seats after the long break when the ball game broke open. Gonzales returned the kickoff to his 36 and on the next play Johns hauled over the middle on a routine quickie. Little Levi was hit, was hit again and got loose again.

The Pigs, apparently thinking he had been stopped, relaxed while Johns kept running, r.t 1 I ui uuuiukcu sweetness aiiu does mean that there can be Gaynell Tinsley and Okla Tinslev was Bengals of '49 Oklahoma.

Seems that at the time Tinsley, or one of his assistants, was working on a couple of highiy-touted Oklahoma junior college gridders that Wilkinson wanted. But Gus shook hands on it and pocketed the bowl bid.

From that day since there is no record that LSU ever got, or even tried to get a single football player from Oklahoma. On the other hand, Sooner alumni and boosters did make several attempts to interest Louisiana prospects, but in each case were shooed away when Tinsley invoked the agreement that Wilkinson himself had insisted upon. Tommy Davis and Harley Brown, the two former Fair Park huskies, were among those off whom the Sooners were shooed. Of course, that was a mere gentleman's agreement, as all such things must be, for there is no way in which they may be arbitrated or enforced. The question remains whether Coach Dietzel inherited the hands-off pact along with Tinsley's job.

Maybe we won't know until the 'next time Oklahoma casts covetous glances in the direction of some Louisiana All-Stater. There is small chance that Dietzel will ever put it to the test. WHIPS NORTHWEST Tech raps Up GSC Not for long, though. Underwood I took the kickoff on his 12, blew straight up the middle, passed all the Tigers at midfield and went 88 yards for an Arkansas touch. George Walker kicked it through the uprights, and it was a 13-7 ball game.

spoiled it. This happened again with 1:30 left in the half and Northeast took over on the Tech 20. Tommy Leos then passed to Billy Laird in the end zone and Wade booted the point after to' make it 14-7 at intermission. Rainbolt took the ball 45 yards for Tech's third touchdown on the first Bulldog play of the second half. Anderson again added the PAT.

Tech let the Tribe have a fling at ball handling, but they couldn't go and Wade punted to Tech's 39. Williams took the punt, went straight back up field and cut to the left, going all the way for the fourth Bulldog tally. Anderson added the point. A 58-yard pass play from Reynolds to end Joe Driskill of the Indians put the ball on the Tech 18 and the Tribe picked up a first down within the ten. Wade took it over on fourth down from the three and made his conversion good to come within two touchdowns at 28-14.

The angry Bulldogs came storming back downfield with freshman fullback Wayne Bourgeois plunging over from the two. Anderson then missed his first conversion attempt in five. That was the ball game and Tech had wrapped up another GSC championib. a top contender for some postseason bowl bid. DRIVE ENDS ABRUPTLY The first Tech drive after the kickoff ended abruptly as Indian quarterback Everett Reynolds intercepted Andrews' first pass of the game on the Northeast 35.

Tech took over again and Andrews made his second click, this time to Williams down to the 34 for a 21-yard gain. Rainbolt took up half the slack on the next play and Jantz plowed over from 12. Anderson added the extra point and Tech was off and running. Late in the quarter, Tech drove back to the Indian 17 thanks to two fine runs of 27 and 35 yards by Williams. Andrews finally went over from the 11 on a keeper.

Anderson's conversion attempt was good and the Bulldogs had a 14-0 lead as the initial stanza ended. Messers Rainbolt and Williams carried the 'Dogs downfield with three minutes gone in the second period with Williams going over but the TD being nullified by a clipping penalty. On the next play, Rainbolt went over, but this one was called by a clipping penalty also.
