By STANLEY WALKER. Upsetting all dope sheets and playing a brand of football which would have landed them a championship earlier in the season, the Longhorns won a 20 to 0 victory over the University of Arkansas on Clark field yesterday. It was a glorious Thanksgiving. The Razorbacks never once menaced the Texas goal line, and they could do nothing with the powerful machine which Coach Juneau has molded out of a comparatively inexperienced squad. Neither side scored in the first half, though Texas had a slight edge even then.

All the scoring was done in the third quarter, when the Long horns made three touchdowns in rapid -r- v. 1 ouwcnaivu. xwu ui me luucnuowns were made by straight football. The other came when Greer kicked sixty yards over the goal line and Arkansas failed to drop on the ball. All this happened so quickly that nobody realized just what was going on.

The teams seemed evenly matched throughout the greater part of the game, there being about the same number of flukes and phenomenal plays on each side. It was only In this one quarter that Arkansas blew up. Willie Trabue played his last game as captain of the Texas Longhorns, and he was a star from beginning to end. His punts averaged about forty-five yards, and he made a number of spectacular runs, showing much of the old-time form which he exhibited so well last year. He was the same old Trabue who has endeared himself to all the followers of the orange and white by his straight, clean football and his wonderful ability as a pilot.

Twisting and dodging through the Arkansas team, he made gain after gain on his sheer nerve and speed. Following the custom which was started last year, Trabue gathered the squad about him in the gym after the game and nominated Freddie Moore for next year's captain. He was elected unanimously. Moore has starred in nearly all the games this season, and his election is thought by everybody to be the reward of merit and ability. The gritty halfback was at his best yesterday with all his speed and sure tackling ability.

Homer Waits was the backfield star. His playing ha been handicapped this year by injuries received earlier in the season, but he was sufficiently recovered to make two of the touchdowns on straight line plunging. The Razor-back aggregation could do nothing with him, and he made from five to ten yards every time he got the ball. His passing was also good. "Fat." Conlcy as Usual.

In the line "Fats" Conley, as usual, played a wonderful game. Time after time the Arkansas offense crumpled up when It struck the Impregnable "Fats." Greer at center and Spencer i at tackle also showed up well. In fact, the whole Texas team, fully recovered from the injuries which have handicapped it so much, played a steady, hard, consistent game and won. Davidson, the Arkansas quarterback, was the only man among the visitors who stood out prominently. His generalship ha4 the confidence and strategy of a winner, and his end runs, line bucks, punts and forward passes showed that he had the versatility which his teammates lacked.

Mulrenin at fullback and Wilson at right half showed flashes of class. Summary of Uic tiame. Arkansas won the toss and kicked fifteen yards to (ireer, who failed to return. Hamilton recovered Pete Smith's fumble and made twenty-two yards. Ureer tried a place kick from the 82-yard line, but missed.

The ball went to Arkansas, who was penalized on the first play for being off-side. Haviaxon punted thirty-two yards to Trabue, who returned three. A forward pass, Davidson to Wlnkieman, petted Arkansas fifteen yards. Arkansas attempted two other passes, but the Texas ends broke them up. The quarter ended with the bail in the possession of the visitors on their own 17-yard line.

The second quarter was a punting contest between Davidson and Trabue, neither of them having the advantage. Texas carried the ball straight don the field for three first downs, and the sianns were yelling for a touchdown when the Longhorns were penalized 15 yards for misuse of bands. The half ended with the score 0 to U. Between halves the studenls of the aviation school passed in review before Major K. Yount and President Vinson.

This was followed by the customary snake dance. Jn the third quarter Arkansas fumbled and Lena recovered on Arkansas' 35-yard line. A forward pahs, Waits to Trabue, netted 15 yards Waits, on four successive line plunges carried the ball over. Greer failed to kick goal. Greer then retaliated by kicking the ball over the goal line, and a Texas man fell on it for the second touchdown while Arkansas was asleep, making the score 13 to 0.

Greer intercepted a forward p.ass and the ball belonged to Texas on Arkansas' 26-yard line. Trabue and Walts carried the ball for the remaining few yards, Walts finally plung.ng it over for the third touchdown Grip Penn kicked goal, making the score 20 to 0. In the final session Arkansus tried innumerable forward passes, but failed to make any substantial gains. Srnytho was substituted for Waits at full arid played a good game for the remainder of the contest. The most spectacular incident came when Billy Trabue intercepted a forward pass and ran 40 yard through a broken field.

The game ended with the ball in Arkansas' possession on her own 45-yard line. The officials were: Braun (So-wante), referee; Clay (Missouri), umpire; Sheffield (St. kdwards), head linesman. The lineup follows: Texas. Nunn Pena Bradford Greer Conley Bpence Hamilton Arkansas.

HOUSTON, Texas, Nov. 29. Texas A. M. won from Rice institute, 10 to 0, in their annual game here this (afternoon.

The victory gives the Texas Aggies the championship and all the credit that goes with not having been scored upon during the course of a season. A. St M. made a touchdown in the first period and secured a field goal in the fourth period. First period: The Farmers won the toss and received on the south goal.

Bell punted forty yards to ITiggln-botham, who returned the ball twenty yards. Elam and Higginbotham failed to gain and the Farmers were forced to punt. Rice was off-side and lost five yards. Flam then took five yards, plunging through tackle, and Higginbotham tore off a short end run for eight yards, but the Farmers were penalized fifteen yards for holding. Higginbotham then punted fifty yards to Nash, who returned twenty-five yards before being downed.

Bell fumbled on the next play, and it was the Farmers' ball on the Rice 25-yard line. Mahan and Fabian made first down through the line, and Ma-han then 'plunged to the 6-yard line. Higginbotham gained within a foot of the goal when McMurrny was called back to carry it over In the final plunge. Mahan then kicked goal. Higginbotham kicked to the north goal and McMurray intercepted a Rice forward pass, taking the ball to the Rice 20-yard line.

Captain Ford then essayed a goal from the field, but missed by a few feet. Rice was unable to gain against the Farmers' line, and Morgan kicked out of bounds on the 54-yard line. The Farmers' back field then carried the ball down the field and the period ended with it on the 20-yard line.

WINS 0. S. CHAMPIONSHIP ATLANTA, Nov. 29. The golden tornado of Georgia Tech.

this afternoon clinched its claim to the championship of the United States by overwhelming Auburn, 68 to 7. Auburn's lone touchdown came in the last few minutes of play when Dona-hde broke away from a tackle who had thrown him and ran 60 yards to the Tech. goal line. It was a spectacular play that brought the crowd to its feet cheering. Auburn fought doggedly throughout the game but only twice was she able to hold Tech.

for downs. The speed of Guyon, Strupper, Hill and Guill made the Alabamans look like amateurs. They tackled seriously only to have the Tech. runners dodge entirely clear or twist from their grasp. The Tech.

line was adamant when Auburn had the ball. Joe Guyon, the Indian, was the. star for Tech. His broken field running was uncanny and he plunged through the line consistently. Donahue was the star for Auburn by reason of his spectacular goal.

Nov. 29 The University of Pittsburg closed its college football schedule wiih a 2h to win today over Pennsylvania making three Reasons without a defeat for Glenn Warner's men. Although today's contest was played on filed deep In mud, it.

was repletf, with thrilling end runs and successfully completed long forward passes. Pittsburg did all its scoring in the first and fourth periods, being on the defensive during the second and third quarters, seemingly bewildered by I he triple passffs and plays strtel from unusual formations employed by Htate. The play was all in the Pittsburg territory dining these periods, and only lack of the punch Kept State's ror! down. Pittsburg started off with a. ruih.

Taking the kickoff on Its own ZS-vird line, it carried ihe ball down tin- field and over State's goal line in half a dozen brilliant end runs, Mc'arter scoring the touchdown, fiies kicked goal. In a few minute. Plttiburg again bad the ball on State's 4 0 -yard line. Gougler hurled a forward pass to Harrington, who rnn ten yards for the second score. Gougler klrked goal.

L. Wlcr, Bldg. Dentist. I field phone 131 19 mi1 inwsBsw wmm sin r- Freddie Moore, of Austin, was elected captain of the Longshorns for I the season of 1918 immediately after game yesterday afternoon. This is Moore's second year on the team, and the esteem in which he is held (by his teammates is evidenced by that the rote naming him captain was unanimous.

i Moore is one of the fastest halfbacks in the state. Besides his duties the halfback position Freddi played defensive end. All football roaches try to avoid the playing of a halfback on defensive end, but when ja niab shows such marked ability at that position as Freddie Moore has all through the year there Is nothing jto do but to let him do the work. IThat such a little player as Moore icould stand the strain of the double iwork shows that he must have kept I himself in perfect shape at all tlmea. Moore is one of the smallest players on the Texas squad.

The intrepidity with which Freddie makes I the long dives over opposing players I indicates that he is more of an unbreakable doll than a china one. I Moore is probably the youngest cap tain ever elected at the University of Texas. He is not yet twenty years old, and will be in school two more years Next year he is expected to be even better than he has been this year. Freddie Moore did not rlay on any high school team before coming to the university. He is entirely the product of that institution known as the scrubs.

It is to be doubted if the scrubs ever turned out a better finished player. His fine work on the offense has only been equaled by his splendid defensive play. OILERS-AUSTIN HIGH CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE DECIDED HERE Austin High will clash with Beau- al. iiarK the only team to defeat Austin High iast year. Austin has a bit the edge on weight but the two teams are more evenly matched than any that have played here this season, Beaumont uses the Minnesota shift altogether, which they have worked for three seasons to perfection.

They have worked this successfully against Galveston and Houston Highs, having defeated the former by a 61 to score. The Oilers lost to Sherman only on a fluke, when Sherman scored in the last two minutes of play. of the southeast Texas officials say that the Beaumont team is composed of the finest bunch of fellows tney liavo ever seen on a gridiron. Plummer, playing quarter for Beaumont, is ttie beat all-round player on the s'uiad. He is a last year's man ami the one that scored ag.nn.it Austin last year.

Hail, the only other last year man, made many holes in the Austin line last season. The Austin team is in fine shape, having trained hard for the lust ten days, and intends to give Beaumont the tiest tluy have. Every one who has been out of the game on a- count of injuries, has recovered and is ready for the fight. If Austin carries off the honors to morrow she will be back in the run- ning for the fate championship. At! present Greenville really has the best claim to the championship for she has defeated ail the learns In north Txas! that were in the race at the begin-1 ning, so Austin will have to play tnenij to decide the state honors provided Austin wins tomorrow.
