(AP) -Texas Christian and Wisconsin battled to a 14-14 football tie Saturday afternoon. After Texas Christian turned an early break into a touch down, the Badgers tied the score on a one-yard quarterback sneak in the second period. 50-Yard Score Wisconsin went in front in the third quarter when quarterback Neil Graff connected with tight end Larry Mialik on a 50-yard pass play. Two steps ahead of his closest pursuer, Mialik was untouched as he sped to the end zone. Texas Christian rebounded with its second touchdown on Bobby Davis' four-yard run just before the third quarter ended.

John Bishop's extra point kick knotted the at 14 points. Both teams had chances to add to their point totals but T.C.U, missed two field goal attempts and a Wisconsin field-goal effort was wide. Nearly a Safety With less than one minute left in the game, T.C.U. quarter-, hack Steve Judy was almost caught in his end zone for a safety, but he managed to com- plete a pass.
