4. OT Rice's Owls, rated with Texas and Southern Methodist among the big three RLM.Q.'s GATHER MONDAY TO REPLAY L.S.U. GAME Texas' 34-0 victory over Louisiana State will be replayed in words and pictures, at the Dris-kill Monday noon when Austin's "Monday Morning Quarterbacks" get together for their weekly luncheon and post-mortem. As usual, Dana X. Bible will be master of ceremonies, first giving off a few remarks anent the game and then showing the motion pictures.

Meeting time each week is Monday at 12:15 p. and the membership of the club includes all who wish to buy a lunch. Price is 75 cents. linemen rushed passers furiously, throwing them for numerous losses and causing several bad chunks that resulted in interceptions. Long Passes Play On the other hand the Long-horns manufactured two of their touchdowns on passes, on plays of 61 and 37 yards.

They scored on their first trip into L.S.U. territory, rocking the Tigers back on their heels and never allowing them to recover. Bible used every able-bodied man on his squad, played his reg-ulars only about 18 minutes and showed Oklahoma and Arkansas scouts nothing except some standard trap plays, reverses, a basket pass and about three simpla forward pass plays. Malcolm Kutner, one of the best ends in the country, signalled the march by blocking Gerald High-tower's punt early in the first iuar-ter. The ball dribbled out of bounds cn L.S.U.'s 40-yard line.

At this time the rain stopped and Layden started. He accepted the center pass, hesitated, faked to a teammate. His mates cross-blocked dextrously, and Layden fairly shot through the middle for 15 yards. Doss Does Holding Next play the Tigers did better and Layden got only 13 yards. With Crain resting him for one play, Layden carried the ball across without delay but was slow sertieg the ball down for the extra point and Crain missed.

Thereafter Bible sent In Noble Doss, injured wing-back, to hold the ball on conversions. Doss was In the game four different times without getting a second's credit on his participation record (extra points are kicked during time out). He did a good holding job and the rest of the points were made good. Jackie Crain dropped the ball when tackled in midfield and Steve Van Buren recovered for L. S.U.

A punt shoved Texas back to its 23. Layden end his blockers took care of that situation nicely with a 36-yard jaunt A Roughing penalty on L.S.U., second in that quarter, gave the Steers a boost goalward and they were knocking at the gates when the teams swapped goals. Quite soon It was first down on the four. Layden had made it on a straight buck into the middle. Crain Craft Down where drives often bog, Crain demonstrated his headiness and made the score look easy.

He sent Layden driving into center again. But Pete handed the ball off to Vernon Martin, the blocking back, who flipped it to Crain. swinging wide anrj deep to the left. Crain race around the perplexed Tigers for the second touchdown and kicked' goal. In came the Texas second string.

Spec Sanders' 35-yard punt re turn put his outfit in the scoring region but a fumbled lateral stopped the drive. Tackle Francis Zick of L.S.U. got it on his 21. The sun came out. as if making sport of the drab, drenched customers scattered around the huge horseshoe.

Two Straight Cvcr Along atwut this time Texas made two touchdowns on consecutive plays from scrimmage. Here's how it happened: Toe Steers were back on their 39, with time for one play in the half. Max Minor, the fast sophomore from Tahoka, was in at wingback. Minor went out wide and cut down th sideline. Layden Surges Through R.

L. Harkins drifted back, picked up Minor, let it fly. Maxie was behind the defensive left halfback, and it was too bad. He caught th ball on the run, and he kept running, flirting with the east boundary all the about 35 yards. The Tigers hardly got close enough (Continued on Page 18, CoL I) Photos by Neal Douglass.

It was a brilliant run and the first step in Texas' second scoring drive. Layden was pulled down by Hightower, L.S.U. player nearest to him. The lower photo shows Jack Crain scoring the second touchdown on a five-yard gallop that caught the Tiger defense flat-footed. Crain called a brilliant game and he worked up to this scoring play spectacularly.

THRILLING MOMENTS in Texas' 34-0 triumph over L.S.U. were caught by the American-Statesman photographers Saturday. The upper photo typifies the manner in which Capt. Pete Layden bewildered the Tigers with his gun-shot get-away which sent him deep into the L.S.U. secondary before the Bengals knew what had happened.

On this particular play, Layden rambled through for 36 yards and a first down on the L.S.U. 41. Frogs Defeat Hogs, 9-0 In First Conference Tilt The crowd of 28,500 which braved a sweltering temperature of 84 degrees to watch the Rams open another of their "Rose Hill to Rose Bowl" guests saw the Mustangs outrushed. out-passed and at times out-smarted go down with all-flags flying after driving into a 10-7 lead just five minutes away from the final gun. The game, first major contest for either team, was a dull, drab thin? until the start of the final period.

Then the Mustangs, almost helpless on offense up to this point, strung together a touchdown and a field goal which forced Fordham to come from behind once to u'e the score at 10-10 and then call on its famous passer in the final minute. Desperate Pass Connects The second hand on the big electric clock showed the game was almost over when big Filipiowicz who had pitched his mates to their first tally in the second period went into action. Fordham had kicked off after booting the tying field goal. Harry Miller, S.M.U. halfback, fumbled away the ball on his own 47.

Filipowcicz passed once, but the Mustangs were penalized 15 yards for holding. Twice the Rams hit the line without effect and were pushed back five yards on a penalty. Then big Steve faded back far, far back and let go. The ball sailed in a perfect arc and when it came down Jim Blumenstock was waiting on the 10, It was just a scamper over the goal line. Nobody cared that the conversion missed fire.

That was the end of a 15-minute period which had kept the crowd in a constant uproar and the famed S.M.U. band wailing away in celebration of a victory anticipated too soon, and it more than made up for the three listless periods during which interceptions, fumbles, spotty play and the heat bored everyone. Mustangs Score Fordham dominated the first period but Presto Johnston's booming punts and a long penalty kept the Rams scoreless. In the second, they went out in front on one perfect play a pass from Filipowicz to young Steve Andrejco which was good for 70 yards and a touchdown Ososki converted for a 7-0 lead and the game bogged down to a kicking duel. The Rams missed several scoring chances when two field goal at tempts were low and wide and one touchdown was called back.

Then three minutes after the start of the final quarter, S.M.U. went to town Johnston it. five plunges ripped from his own 20 to the Fordham 49, and on the sixth play of the series tContinued on Page 14, CoL 1) of the Sokithwest conference, opened their season Saturday night by flattening little Sam Houston State Teachers' college, 42-0, in a contest which left a crowd of 14.000 puzzled to Rice's potentialities. Owls appeared sluggish in spots. with even Fireman Bob Brumley fumbling the ball away twice with touchdo vns in sight.

Possibly five weeks of pre-season conditioning left the Owls slightly stale. Also. Coach Jess Neely was experimenting to find the best com bination of scoring power. Whatever the reason. Rice lacked the verve and snap of most Neely-coached elevens.

Sam Houston had nothing in the way of the Owls and much of its trouble resulted from its habit of passing deep within its own territory. The Owls intercepted nine passes for 199 yards, two ot them for scores. The Bearkats from Huntsville had a net of minus seven yards rushing, while the Owls rolled up 289. Despite his butter fingers. Fullback Brumley took up where he left off last year, spearheading the Rice offense along with Stoop Dickson, tailback, and Center Billy Blackburn, who used his six feet four inches to run two interceptions for touchdowns in the last period.

East Texas Deadlocks Howard Payne, 7-7 COMMERCE. Oct 4. cTV-In one of the toughest football games ever seen here the East Texas State Teachers battled the Howard Payne Yellowjackets to 7-7 tie on a rain-soaked field Saturday night. Both teams remain undefeated. In the second period Samuels passed to Warren, who ran to a touchdown.

Jones kicked the extra point. Five minutes later Mecks passed to Buck Perine of East Texas on the 15-yard line and on the next play Meeks flipped one to Bogue, who smashed over the score, Meeks' conversion knotted tht count.

The Frogs took advantage of the wind to score twice, once in the second period when Frog End Phil Roach leaped above the Porkers' small back.

In the third quarter, the Porker line momentarily held the Frogs on the Arkansat 14 and Substitute Back Frank Mcdanich place-kicked directly between the uprights with Substitute Dean Bagley holding the ball, which was placed down on the 23. The Frogs threatened the Porkers' goal line on several other occasions and had what looked like a 15-yard touchdown run by Back Nolan Sparks called back in the third period when a teammate was offside.

Later in the same quarter, Bagley rifled an aerial to reach for a 14-yard gain to Arkansas' three but another offside set the Frogs back to the 19. Arkansas failed to cash in on their only scoring opportunity early in the first quarter, when the Porkers got the ball on the T.C.U. 32 after a Frog fumble and a short punt against a stiff wind. Gillespie intercepted a Porker aerial by Robert (Chick) Forte at this point. The Razorbacks seemed to lose their spirit when they faltered so close to the T.C.U.
