Virginia Cavaliers 19 to 7 In retaining their spotless record the pounding Quakers twice shook loose their fleet halfback Hob Deuher for scoring runs of 61 and 56 yards The Cavaliers more than held their own through the first half hut lost their offensive punch in the last two periods Deuber swept around bis own i ight end for 51 yards and a touch- the Owls managed to move into Arkansas territory only three times twice to the 44 and once to the 43 Arkansas after being halted early in the game after recovering an Owl fumble and marching to the Rice 20 made its most serious threat in the second period when Holland started things rolling by returning Huey Keeney's quick-kick to the Owl 38 The Owls did not halt this threat until they took over on downs on their own three-yard line

on five drives threw a stout defense at the Arkansas Razor backs here today to gain a 26 to 0 homecoming victory The Owls all but completely wrecked the highly-publicized Razor back ground game and permitted the brilliant Clyde Scott and the slippery Ken Holland only brief opportunities to operate to advantage After cashing in on a first period fumble by moving 26 yards in three plays Rice kept perfect its all-time Houston record of no losses to Arkansas by scoring again late in the period on a 51-yard drive moving 76 yards for another tally in the third and winding up with a 47-yard march in the fourth As the final gun sounded Rice had the ball on the Arkansas half-yard line with third down Other than these five drives out the first nine minutes of the third quarter were unable to move

first undefeated and untied season in 15 years the Western Conference crown and the Pasadena' classic Only Wisconsin and Ohio State remain as pocsible stumbling blocks in the next two weeks With their

Jimmy Ford in the closing minutes of the first half to account for Tulsa's first score Ford caught the ball on his own two and went over standing up Ford's conversion was no good In the beginning of the final period Tulsa took over in midfield and bored down the middle in a series of running plays to permit halfback Pete Annex to slice across from the one-foot line This time Coach Buddy Brothers sent in fullback Hardy Brown to do the kicking and the extra point was added Bobcats Damp East Texas SAN MARCOS Nov 8 The lowly Southwest Texas State Bobcats knocked East Texas Slate from the
