working fairly well. The last quarter was when the Cowboyn, preying on the Frogs with a team composed mainly of substitutes, scored ten points. After a dash down the field, following a bad pass back by Stuart, substitute center, Kimbrough kicked a field goal from the 20-yard line. Following this, the Cowboys marched down the field and after three tries on the 1-yard line, following Estes' sensational run, Kimbrough bucked the ball over. He also kicked goal.

The work of Brewster, giant tackle for TCU, was a feature of ths play, while Taylor and Estes featured for opposing teams on returning punts. TEXAS FRESHMEN DEFEAT SCHREINER INSTITUTE, 22-12 KERRVILLE, Oct. 17. Led by Captain Ed Buelar, quarterback, Clyde Littlefield's Texas Freshmen team decisively trounced the Schreiner Institute eleven of Coach "Bully" Gilstrap in the first game of the season by a score of 22 to 12. Because of the muddy field both sides abandoned straight football and used an aerial offensive, all touchdowns coming as the result forward passes.

Davis and Dobkins made the two touchdowns for the Schreiner eleven while Buelar led the scoring for the freshmen. TCU Defeats Cowboys By Score of 28 to 16. FORT WORTH, Oct. 17. Wi Texas Christian university defeated Simmons college Cowboys here today, 28-16, before a crowd of 4,000 people.

Scoring a touchdown In the opening pefiod when Williams rammed the line lor repeated bucks, the Horned Frogs took the lead, never to be headed. Harold Carson, flashy halfback, dashed 87 yards through a broken field in the second period to score the second touchdown for TCU. As in the first case, Williams missed the try for point. Kimbrough passed to Dillingham for 18 yards for the first Simmons' score. Kimbrough missed 'his try for point The second half saw the Frogs with practically their first team on the field, and also saw them tear up the Cowboys, Taylor and Clark scoring touchdowns, the latter by the captain on a 27-yard run through a field thick with Cowboys.

SAN ANTONIO, Oct, 17. Coach Roger Powell's Silents from the Texas School for tha Deaf were unable to solve the dazzling play of St. Mary's college here this afternoon and went down in defeat by a score of 38 to 0. HOUSTON, Oct 17. Rice Institute, by a spectacular uphill fight, this afternoon defeated Arkansas University, 18 to 9.

Bice resorted to forward passes to -jake both of Us touchdowns. The first period ended with Rice on the short end of a 3 to 0 score. A place kick from the 25-yard line by Shaw, Arkansas halfback, brought the first score. Arkansas worked the ball down the field by a series of cross-bucks and straight line plays. Arkansas opened the second period with a series of line bucks and forward passes.

Arkansas got the ball on the fifty-yard line after a punt by Rice. The line plunge gained five yards. On the next play a pass, Shaw to Parker, gave Arkansas a touchdown. The try for goal was missed. Rice kicked off to start the- third period and after a seesaw back and forth in the middle of the field, got the ball to Arkansas' thirty- game could do nothing but complete an occasional pass.

Pottsy Allen, the stocky Lullng boy, pulled off a brilliant 15-yard gain just as the game ended. Now They Know Higglns was down on punts faster tnan the ends or backs, while he broke through time after time to smother Auburn passers or to trip a blue jersled back in his tracks. Pfannkuche, 1 playing roving center on the defense, was on top of ev ery play shoved in his general dl rection. Today's victory was bought and paid for, and a precious price it was the Steers paid. Matt Newell, the veteran wingman, who was all over the field snatching passes, he who took in a short heave and traveled 30 yards for a touchdown, was carried out of the game in the third quarter with a broken wrist.

Auburn, who ran away with Virginia Poly Tech a week ago by the use of their aerial game, today showed power on the attack. They completed several long passes, but they threw thera wildly, as interceptions cost thera at least two Texas touchdowns. Pea Green, the six feet three-inch halfback, was easily the offensive star of the Invaders. His ability to snatch passes above the heads of the Texas halfbacks gave his team Its one and only chance to score, Williams, the Auburn passing star, also played consistently, but not brilliantly. All in all the game was listless and uninteresting, the winning team having a wide margin of superiority In- every department.

Auburn was out-charged, out-fought and out-played throughout, even after Coaches James and Stewart had substituted almost an entire second string eleven. Ths lineup: Auburn. Position. Tis. Ollingcr Bsldwin left end Prultt T.

Cornet Player: Tes, sir; either ere or on 'ith street." Tit-Bits.

What Makes the Old Boys Smile at Breakfast. Coach Jack Meagher along with others are not feeling so happy this morning but the Longhorns are rather proud of Big Bud Sprague. former Texas lineman, who is now with West Point. You see the Army defeated Notre Dame by the overwhelming score of 27 to 0. Ben F.

Wright hat no reason on earth not to be proud of one of his alma mater. The one in this case is Dartmouth which defeated Maine slightly Just 68 to 0, Heine HMgartner was seen smiling, too. About the best way to explain this Is to say that Princeton managed to hold the powerful navy eleven to a 10-10 tie. Vernon Pickle and Dave Pickie dldnt like this so very well, because they were at one time with the boys at Annapolis. But Walter 8mlth was rather proud of the TJniveisity of Chicago.

They beat Northwestern to 0. John E. Shelton, W. T. Mayne and E.

H. Perry who all went to Baylor, have been wondering just what the trouble is with their school. Here Bridges lets TCU tie them and then goes down In defeat at the hands of Harry Hol-ton's Trinity Tigers. Score of 10 to 3. And of course all of Austin Is smiling today for the Texas Longhorns under the able coaching of "Doc" Stewart poured it on the Auburn Plainsmen by the score of 33 to 0.

The failure of Harvard to kick the goal after their touchdown kinda upset H. J. Ettlinger. It should have for Harvard lost to Holy Cross 7 to 6. Dr.

W. Weber 'was satisfied with the way that Washington U. tied the Oklahoma Aggies with a careless game. Calvin Oilfillan, it is said, was kinda scowling because Columbia lost to Ohio State. Well, it wasn't eo bad since the score was just 9 to 0.

OKLAHOMA BLANKS DRAKE AT NORMAN NORMAN, Oct 17. Oklahoma did the unexpected here today and Drake, 7 to 0. Starting a march down the field in the first period, the Soomers carried the ball to Drake's 2-yard line, where Lamb went over for the only touchdown of the game. Lamb also kicked goal. The Sooners kept Drake on the defense throughout most of the game and the Bulldogs at no time were actualy threatening.

Mr. Adams (to principal of school): "My wife and I were gratified to receive a letter from our boy the other day announcing that he leads his jjpJSM Iff I 8 port Editor, Austin American DALLAS, Oct. 17. The Orange and Blue of the Alabama Plainsmen today was trampled, smashed, torn and pushed to all comers of the Fair park stadium by a team that functioned as precisely and evenly on the offense as any that has been seen here this season, ths Texas Longhorns. With a clear-cut, end-running and plunging offense, mixed with a remarkably accurate overneuu rama.

used as a threat and a scor ing factor, the Longhorns swept their way clear to a 83-to-0 victory over the Auburn Tigers In what was the third lntersectlonal battle of the season, as well as the third with a Southern conference eleven, Steers Run Trus to Form Ths Orange and White of the Texans was flashing here and there Just as Doc Stewart, the doleful leader, had primed them. They made each play count, and never attempted anything more thantnat they have used already this season on the offensive. The plays were lmDlv truer, and more accurate, with the first-string Orange eleven hlttlne on every cylinder of a mooth-runnlng machine, geared in a fast speed for the three conference games mat are 10 101-low. Before the game Auburn with Its heavier, faster line and an aerial attack that Is tricky, was considered a favorite, not by the Long-horn supporters, but by the neutral football critfrs who have followed both teams throughout the season. Alabama's offense, strong in mid-field and against the second-string youngsters that Coach Stewart ushered Into the fray In the second half they were even stronger.

For the summary at the end of the game showed that Auburn had made 12 first downs, against a total of 14 for Texas. The many conference scouts who have followed the Longhorns this season have been wondering whether Doo Stewart was using the overhead game more as threat than as a means of scoring, today were fully convinced that the forward pass Is Texas' greatest scoring weapon. Twelve passes were attempted by Stewart's Orange clan, six of them being completed and two being directly responsible for touchdowns. Ths six that failed to make connections were attempted during the regime of the second-stringers. Mack.

Saxon and Stud Wright, veterans of the Texas eleven, the two offensive stars that will make the Texas team one of the greatest tliat Doo Stewart has yet organized for Texas, were so far superior in their all-round play that there was no doubt whatever as to where the crowns of heroism are to rest tonight. In throwing and receiving passes Saxon today was a perfect football player. His tosses were accurate, while in receiving the tosses of his mates he was the greatest threat of ths day for Alabama's Bengals. It was the stubby Temple athlete who scored two of the five Texas touchdowns, while it was his steady off -tackle rushes and line plunges that kept the secondary defense of Auburn purzled and consequently so scattered that the completion of a pass was a matter of throwing and catching the ball. Every fail 'are of a pass attempted by Texas always found a receiver open, for the Tigers were simply at a loss as to how to solve It.

These same conference sharps who have con sistently accused Stud Wright of brain attacks for his persistency in using the aerial game today were gain upset and the chattering was started in their ranks again. Wright passed on the first down and on ths third down and he carea little as to what part of the field his team was holding the ball. He had the Auburn defense scattered on very line fo attack and his trategy worked. Breaks Favor Steers Two breaks of the game, both, however, the kind that always come to the more aggressive team, paved the way for the first two touchdowns of the Steers. A fumbls of a punt which was recovered by the ever alert Ox Hlgglns, the Oak Cliff high school boy, who played his first college game before ths home-town admirers, put Texas In a scoring position.

Two completed passes rushed the ball within eight yards of the Auburn goal and then Captain Wright skirted end for a touchdown on a fake pass formation. A long penalty for clipping jut Texas In scoring position again, tut Auburn stiffened on the defense nd the ball went over to Auburn. No sooner had the Tigers gained possession of the pigskin than they also tried the aerial route, thoir second heave being Interrupted by Mack Saxon, who raced 70 yards for the second touchdown. On the defense the Longhorns were not impregnable, for Auburn scored more first downs than had been scored against thera all this season, yet when Auburn had only inches to go for a touchdown the thin Orange line braced and hurled back the Invading attack, placing the ball back two yards. That was close as Auburn came to scoring.

Defensive Stars Ox Hlgglns, Heinle Pfannkuche bnd Matt Newell stood out abovt all others on the field on the defense. Longhorns Open Attack. Rosey Stalker and Mack Sajcon, Longhorn half backs, opened the contest with long runs of 15 and yards respectively, sweeping Auburn's left side with oft tackle brushes and end runs. A fumble of a pass by Newell gave Auburn the ball and with the aid of three Texas penalties of 6 yards each for off-fide they took the ball to midfleld Uodg-es fumbled there and Ox Hlg-Eins recovered. After an exchange of punts Texts received a break that paved the way for their first touchdown.

Jlelnie Pfannkuche recovered Tux-Tvorth'a fumble of a punt. Mack iaxon was one back the Alabama line could not stop. Th Temple, vis.n I' i it, i I "i'l i r. in lad used a pretty stiff arm effec tively. Texas mixed a couple of short passes that carried the ball to Au burn's 10-yard line, Wright then carried the ball over on a pass formatl n.

Wright took the pass and skirted end after evading three tacklers. He then kicked the goal. Score: Texas 7, Auburn 0. Saxon Races 70 Yards, Auburn kicked off to Texas, Wright returning to his 31-yard line, the Steer captain on the first play punted clear across the goal line, but the ball was brought back and given to Texas when Auburn was penalized 20 yards for clipping. The quarter ended with Texas having a wide margin in every depart ment of play.

Auburn held fairly well at the beginning of the second ouarter. They pulled a long 30 yard pass, but their second attempt was costly for Mack Saxon inter cepted It and ran 70 yards for a touchdown. The Texas players gave him splendid Interference. Wright Again Goes Over. i Wright kicked goal giving Texas a lead of 14 points.

The Long horns again received, taking the ball and marching down to Auburn's 35-yard line. Here a short 7-yard pass to Saxon from Wright was converted into Texas touchdown. The stubby Saxon stiff-armed one tackier and then outran the rest 30 yards for a touchdown. Wright again kicked goal. The Longhorns were having no trouble completing passes, getting a man open on nearly every attempt.

Auburn was badly off form. They tackled poorly and their interference on the offense was worse. Following the third score the Long-horn coaches made wholesale substitutions, Mack Saxon running the team at quarter, and Baldwin going to half back. Both youngsters started right off with long gains around ends and off tackles. Saxon started another aerial attack that the Plainsmen could not fathom.

Texas finally getting the ball on ths 1-yard line when an Auburn back Interfered with Estes In grabbing ths pass. It took Rufus King three plunges, however before he could carry it over. King missed goal. Auburn's Air Attack Falls. Auburn Used a dazzling passing gams, but their receivers were unable to hold them.

An Auburn pass was batted around In wholesale manner before Estes finall: grabbed the ball. Coach Stewart allowed his second stringers to re main In the game as Auburn seemed to offer no opposition. Auburn Completes Pass. Auburn came back with a rush In the third quarter completing a long pass Williams to "Pea" Green, the tall fellow making it good for 30 yards. Green's treat height enabling him to snatch the passes over the heads of the Texas defenders.

Mack Saxon was caught Interferring with a receiver and Auburn was given a 20-yard gain. Then Leo Baldwin was also caught interferring with a receiver that gave Auburn eight more yards. Long "Pea" Green snatched ani other pass for 8 yards, leaving only i three yards. Between the spot where the ball was downed and the goal. Green hit the line but failed to gain.

The Texas line was caught Off on tha nnrt nlav Williams going within six inches of the goal on a cross buck. Auburn Falls en Touchdown. With fourth down and only six inches to go Auburn substituted Tuxworth at quarter for Hodges, but the substitute could not have pulled a more unwise play, an attempt to circle end from his crouch back of ths center. The Longhorn line, coached by Bill James, showed its mettle here, for the steer forwards hurled Tuxworth back for a 2-yard loss. The 10,000 fans cheered wildly, as loud as when Texas scored lta first touchdown.

Newell Scores Touchdown. Baldwin punted out of danger, and Auburn again came back with their passing attack. They tried two, and then the Texas forwards smothered Williams, batting the ball out of his hands, Hlgglns hauling It in, but was tackled on his 0-yard line. With Baldwin doing the passing Texas again opened up with ir una attach, a snatching one for a. tcn.varH which was followed by another pass from Saxon to Matt Newell, the rangy Texan going 30 yards for a touch down, doing some fancy side-stepping on his one hook.

Baldwin's drop kick for goal failed. Newell Is Injured. Texas received and on the kick-off Matt Newell, star Longhorn right end, was painfully Injured In his right hand. It appeared to have been broken as he was carried off the field. Auburn came -acK with a fast offensive drive making a first down as the third quarter ended.

"Pea" Green again got into action, snatching a heave by Williams for a 17-yard gain. Passes Intercepted. Green and Williams made a first down by plowing the center of the Longhorn line, but here Rufus King halted their attack by intercepting a pass. Rufus King made a first down on three plunges, while a pass, Terrell to Joe King, was good for 12 yards. But hero Schotz intercepted a heave by King, giving Auburn the ball on their own thirty-yard line.
