Baylor knocked on the door in the second period, but the Pokes held firm. Pictured above is the last in that series of downs, as the Wyoming line piled up the ball carrier.

And before it ended hurryin Huch 'McElhenny took off on a 91-yard canter from scrimmage to give' the crowd of 30.500 its climax thrill. SET -c visitors beine the Bavlor university Bears from Waco, Texas. With the largest crowd ever to attend an athletic event in Wyoming 17,268 looking on. the Cowboys from the wind-swept plains played their hearts out to record the outstanding national upset of this young season and certainly one of the major form reversals in Rocky mountain grid history in many years. FORWARD WALL TOUGH The big Bears from the tough Southwest conference were shackled by a ferocious Wyoming forward wall which tenaciously kept safe the nne touchdown margin which Bow-den Wyatt's Waddies gained in the first period.

The aerial minded visitors out-statiisticked the Pokes, but the inspired UW men played alert ball all the way and were not to be denied this recognition on the national football map. Royal McCullen, 22-year-old 170-pound senior who came from Rockford, to grid for the Cowboys, played the greatest game of his career in passing, running and punting his mates to their greatest moment of glory. Substituting for the first tailback Eddie Talboom, out with an injured shoulder, McMullen scored the game's only touchdown at 10:00 of the first period, climaxing a 78-yard drive by slashing through from the two. PENALTIES HELP Key factors in the drive were two McMullen passes to Vern Gale, which covered 18 and 14 yards, and several penalties against the George Sauer-coached team. Talboom's only appearance in the game was when he came in to place kick the extra point.

The Cowboy line faced its stiff-est test in the second period, repulsing a Bear threat at the gateway to the goal. A pass from Quarterback Hayden Fry to Star Baylor End Stan Williams gave the invaders a first down on UAV's seven. A crack at the line gained one and DENVER, Sept. 23 iJPi Colorado A and pulled some dazzling touchdown plays out of its bag of tricks tonight to crush a big. fumbling Denver team, 30-14.

in the opening game of the Skyline Six football campaign. Rangy Jack Christiansen, of the conference 440-yard dash champion, showed his heels to a slow moving Denver secondary on two spectacular touchdown runs of 80 and 71 yards and the hustling Aggies turned the breaks of the game into two more touchdowns. California Wins, 29-7 From Bronc BERKELEY. Sept. 23 California, lacking some of the power and much of the finesse of its last two Rose Bowl teams, took the wraps off its 1950 football squad today to pound out a 27-9 victory over the Santa Clara Broncos.

A crowd estimated at 46,000 saw the Bears, described by coach Lynn Waldorf as the greenest major college outfit in the country, come from behind to score two touchdowns in the second period and one each in the last two quarters. Santa Clara tallied a touchdown in the first and a safety in the second period. Two costly fumbles by the Bears led to all Santa Clara's points. They came back, however, to show potential strength, especially on the ground, with a set of hard-hitting backs who ripped through the tiring Bronco line for long gains. Use Tribune-Herald Want Ads.

After that, Baylor didn't offer a serious scoring threat until the final moments, when they rolled to the Cowbov 17 as time ran out.

PUNTING SUPERB Superb punting including several quick kicks by McMullen, and Yeoman work by the offensive ends in going down and covering the boots, kept Baylor constantly in the hole. Mac kicked nine times in all for a 41-yard average. And the ends were always on hand to spill the punt returner before he could take more than a few steps. A cold rain at halftime sent the temperature skidding 15 degrees in as many minutes from 60 down to 45. The stadium was officially dedicated at halftime with an impressive program.

Saturday morning, laying of the cornerstone ceremonies for the war memorial fieldhouse were marred by fhe death of a workman, George H. Schank, 50, who fell from a beam 55 feet to his death about 10 minutes before the program started. Baylor athletes went down like tenpins in the last period as the repeated hard body contact play took its toll of the visitors, who perhaps were somewhat affected by this city's 7.200 foot altitude.
