There was Gold neither in the hills nor on the field for California, but Texas proved to be diamond in the rough here Saturday and bludgeoned its way to a 28-3 football victory before 41,500 fans, most of whom were disappointed but not surprised. Opening its fifth season under coach Darrell Royal and winning its fourth season opener for him, Texas made markings of an overmatch de- and, most of all, mischief-making quarterback Billy Cox pitched a monkey wrench in the Dietzel en pite the fact Paul Dietzcl's Ti gers are fresh from leading the gine, LSU, and Die Owls rolled to enough mistakes to rattle the av-1 FINE POINTS OF THE GAME erage football team.

This time the Owls who were paced by ends Gene Raesz and johnny Burrell, guard Johnny Nichols and tackle Robert Johnston, kept Jess Neely's football triumph safe by restricting LSU's offense outside their 33 throughout the first half and allowed Just one sorty the field goal one inside the 36 through the last 30 minutes. Of course, Owls Johnny Cole, Randy Kerbow and Butch Blume axed three LSU advances via interceptions.

The light-hearted Cox, a nervy junior, unleashed his fourth and fifth touchdown passes in a two-year career to highlight the offensive displays interrupting long lulls of brustaf head-knocking between the two standout lines. All of this was okay with the near capacity crowd of 73,000 who came to pay for a lot of scholarships and celebrate the Owls' 50th grid season. Cox's first payoff toss was a four yarder to end Johnny Burrell, capping a six-play 40 yard march, mid-way in the second quarter. He found fullback Roland Jackson, used rarely as a receiver, open for a 47-yard touchdown pass-and-run effort three plays deep In the fourth period, extending the Owl edge to 13-3.

Hoping to put its best passing arm forward, California was denied that opportunity because Randy Gold, its starting quarterback, had to sit this one out with a leg injury, Larry Balliett, a 177-pound junior, tried to fill in but Texas' defensive bastions made his efforts a nightmare in the second half. Although it lost the ball four times on fumbles and twice more through pass interceptions, Texas' offense was so overwhelming off its new strong side weak side alignment that it compiled 24 first downs and a net of 419 yards total offense. California, in contrast, secured only four firsts and none in the second half, finally concluding with a modest 80 yards in total offense. All Yds Alt Trta .13 110 Je.
