Past 30 Years Texas Football McCarty, who scored the final Sooner touchdown In the fourth period, averaged six yards each of one more play in the half. The Owls had the ball on the Longhorn three-yard line.

Lain took the ball and made a furious lunge at center and went over for first score as the gun fired. History was made in the second half. The Steers took the ball from deep in their own territory and drove up the field. The drive culminated in a scoae for the Longhorns but the play was called back. The scoring play was a pass from "Bullet" Gray to John Peterson, who lateraled to Beefus Bryan.

The play was called back on the grounds that Gray was not five yards behind the line of scrimmage when the pass was thrown. The officials also said Bryan was the 10 times he earned the ball. RENCE, Kan, Oct. 15. Oklahoma put in a serious bid for the Big Six conference football championship Saturday by defeating Kansas IS to 0, in the opening conference contest for both team.

The big Sooner forward wall which outweighed the Kansas line 20 pounds per man, was the principal factor in the victory. The linesmen held Kansas to 74 yards In scrimmage plays and the secondary defense men broke up' the vaunted Jayhawkers passing attack. Kansas completed only seven forwards out of 21 for total gain of 64 yards.

gridiron feud is ready to flare again no later than next Saturday when the Longhorns and Owls clash for the 25th time in Houston. It is the game most eagerly awaited by the teams and fans of both schools. It is the game that attracts the customers from far and wide. Feeling runs wild, enthusiasm mounts at both schools. The grads gather, to tell tales of the deeds of their grid heroes of yesteryear.

Bonfires are burned, stirring speeches are mads, and the fight is on. Lain Confident The Rice coach. Jimmy Kitts, made the statement last year that he wanted to corral the Longhorns carriers, and he went through al most the entire Jayhawkers team to score the second touchdown after taking a lateral from Mc ed on the same field with Fred Thomsen's crimson-clad mountaineers Saturday. Lanky Neil Martin, a junior back fr Texarkana, whipped across fo the first three Arkansas touchdowns on running plays. In fact, only one of the six Porker scores wis made on one of their dreaded passes.

The Owls were primed for the tilt, however, and the story of how "the fighting band from Houston outplayed and outfought a sluggish Longhorn team is still a favorite topic for Rice fans. The score was 7 to 0 for the Owls. The season of 1932 found the Longhorns with one of their greatest teams in history.

Koy and Stafford were completing their eligibility and Bohn Hilliard was a sophomore. The Longhorns were right in a memorable Houston battle and the trio of great backs led the team to a resounding defeat of the Rice team, 18 to 6. The Steers played fine ball the rest of the season but an upset at the hands of the Horned Frogs deprived them of a title. Last Win Was in 1933 EVANSTON, 111., Oct. 15.

Hog' First Victory It waa Arkansas' first Southwest conference victory against two defeats, and a sadly inauspicious start Sooner Use Sana Oklahoma depended upon running plays for most of its scoring drive, although well timed laterals and forwards helped to befuddle the Kansas defense, which only on occasions was able to withstand the Sooner attack. Hugh McCullough, starting Oklahoma quarterback, wag a shade the best of the Oklahoma ball carriers, and he carried away the high point honors of the day, getting a touchdown and one extra point The day was a heart-break Women's Golf Group his life and few successful Kansas plays went through the left side of the Sooner line. Others who shone in the line were Roland Young, towering end, and Clifton speegle, sophomore center. Kansas never had the ball beyond the Sooner 20 yard line, two drives losing fire, one because of a fumble, the other on a pass interception. Max Replogle with solid accurate punts, probably prevented the in front of Peterson when he caught the lateral which would make the play illegal.

That Pass! That Pass! The Longhorns came back a few minutes later and made another touchdown to tie the score. The last quarter produced another score for the Owls which Texas fans still insist was not legal. Lain tossed a wobbly pass to Frank Steen, Rice end, who fell to the ground in trying to catch the ball.

In 1934 the Owls emerged from their lethargy and became a definite power in the football wars of the Southwest. The team began jinxing the Longhorns and has not stopped.

All-American Bill Wallace and all-conference John Mc-Cauley were the spearheads of the Rice attack in 1934. Hilliard and Hugh Wolfe were the Longhorns' big guns. Hilliard suffered an injury in a previous game, however, and was not ready for the Owls when the two teams met in Houston.

Most overwhelming defeat of the Owls came in 1915 when the Longhorns whitewashed the Rice team 59 to 0. The Owls never have defeated the Texas team by more than 13 points. Beginning in 1920, the Longhorns did not allow Rice to score a point for four successive years.
