.60 By JACK GALLAGHER American-Statesman Sports Staff HOUSTON, Oct. 11. With a rumble that must have shaken the foundations of the fast-growing South Texas city, Rice's rowdy Owls reduced the Tulane Green Wave to a ripple this scorching October afternoon and smacked down jHenry Frnka's ambitious but outclassed eleven, 33-0. Rice searched for victory all the way from the marshes of Louisiana to the shores of California, and finally found it here on its home field Saturday as a near-capacity crowd of 28,000 fans watched three well-stocked Rice teams put on an homa. Texas won, 34-14, for the season.

Neely rushed his second team in at the start of the second quarter and Tobin Rote of Haxlandale engineered a 63-yard march that was climaxed with a 40-yard pass from Rote to crazy-legs Huey Keeney for the score. Another poor kick, this time by John Campora, paved the way for the third Rice touchdown. Hi punt went out on the Tulane 42, and Walmsley raced around right end for 16 yards, then picked up 10 more through center. The powerful Russ then started off. his own left tackle, cut back, and dragged three Tulane defenders across the goal line with him to end the 16-yard scamper.

Nine minutes remained in the third quarter when Froggie Williams, a great end ail afternoon, kicked the first of three conversions. On the first play of the fourth quarter Walmsley took a pitchout from Eikenberg and raced 22 yards around his own right end to climax a 72-yard drive. Neely seemed to be able to call on an inexhaustible supply of hard-running backs as the third team went into the game and Van Ballard, Bobby Lantrip and Oather Pugh running support to the pitching of Harmon CarsweU. Ray Prats' fumble on the Tulane 44 was pounced on by Ed Parker, and the Owls were off to the races. The powerful Ballard clicked for the longest gain 21 yards and Cai swell rifled an 8-yard pass to the towering Jack Wolcott for the finai touchdown.

Frnka displayed two fine running backs in Ed Price and Cliff Van Meter, but the Green Wave could never muster a sustained offensive. They drove to the Rice 26 in the first quarter and to the 29 in the third, and picked up yardage consistently around the right side of the Rice line, but Froggie Williams, Henry Armstrong and Maggie Magee formed an impregnable defense on the left Scout Eck Curtis took little back to Austin with him, for the Owls obviously were holding back for the SMU game next week and their showdown with Texas in Austin two weeks hence.

Football Scores vv iMi awesome display of power. Scoring in every period, the Owls ran away from Tulane's sophomore-packed team in the second half as Virgil Eikenberg guided the Feathered Flock to its first triumph of the season. Jess Neely failed to open up his attack, sticking almost strictly to ground plays all the way. The masterful Eikenberg didn't throw a pass all afternoon, sending Gorgeous George Walmsley, the Goose Creek galloper, inside the tackles and through center for 121 of Rice's 285 yards rushing. Walmsley carried 11 times.

Walmsley 's 17-yard, gallop to the one-yard line in the opening minutes of the game paved the way for Eikenberg's sneak through center for the first Rice touchdown. Carl Russ fielded Leonard Fin-ley's 20-yard kick on the Tulane 40 and scampered down the side lines 22 yards to set the stage for Walmsley's run. Rice required only nine plays from scrimmage to score. its fourth straight, victory of back the other way moved for two more first downs, to the Texas 16. Suddenly reversing the procedure, Mitchell sent Sarratt lunging between Kelley and Schwartzkopf for nine yards.

Brewer, made it first on the Texas 3. Harris stopped on play for a short gain but on the next one Mitchell whirled over left guard for a touchdown. He barely made it the Longhorns immediately flung him back, but the head linesman signaled that the ball had been across the goal in Mitchell's possession. Wallace kicked the extra point. Oklahoma 7, Texas 7 Landry returned the short kick-off to his 42.

A pass to Holder got nine, then Landry roared up the middle for 12 and a first down on the Oklahoma 36. Layne to Blout was good for a first down on the 25. Layne, backing up, hit Canady down on the 10; he pulled away from a tackier and finally cornered, lateralled to Gillory who was tumbled out of bounds on the three-yard line. Clay rammed into the line twice, failing to make the touchdown, but an Oklahoma sub coming in late stopped the clock and gave Texas an extra play with only one second remaining.

That stopped the clock. There was less than a minute to play. Randall Clay hit the line, made a yard. He hit it again, made another yard. The Sooners shrewdly were getting up slowly, lining, up deliberately.

It didn't appear possible that Texas could get off another play. Coach Stopped But Referee Jack Sisco waved his arms, stopping the clock with a couple of seconds left. He explained later that Texai had called time out. The crowd didn't know that, though, and the Okla-homans howled mightily. Given one more play, Canady hit the middle and apparently was over when the ball was knocked out of his hands and bounced into the Texas backfield.

Clay snatched it up and was over the goal before the Sooners could touch him. It was an admirable bit of quick thinking on Clay's part. Coach rBiid Wilkinson of Oklahoma protested that Clay had hU knee on the ground when he scooped up the ball, but the officials didn't see it that way. Oddly, Clay made the touchdown that brought the pop bottle shower from the Oklahoma student section. That was the clinching fourth touchdown in the last ouarter.

following Mitchell's long dash that made it 12-14. Again Layne's passes built up the scoring situation and Canady's running put the ball in position, but Clay took the ball on the three-yard lice. He skated as he struck a struggling mass of Sooners and Longhorns and then slipped off and across the goal. Apparently the Oklahoma followers thought Sisco should have blown his whistle quicker. Third Touchdown The third Texas touchdown, in the third quarter, got an assist from the Sooners who clipped on a punt return and were penalized to their one-yard line.

Gillory made a fine running catch and return of the punt-out to Oklahoma's 22. Canady made this one, scoring in two blasts from 10 yards out The final touchdown, which did little more than demonstrate the Longhorns' ability to score with startling speed and ease, followed Dick Harris-' recovery of a fumble on the Oklahoma 44. George Mc-Call snared good 23-yard pass in the end zone for the tally. The Texas defense looked ragged from time to time, as it necessarily would when the other team made 263 yards rushing.

8. UCLA Defeats Oregon Eleven LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11 (UP) A power-laden UCLA football team, playing in fits and spurts, today downed a fighting University of Oregon team by a 24 to 7 score before 43.713 fans at Memorial Coliseum. The Oregon squad held the Bruins almost even in the first half but the talent-loaded Burins threw enough reserves into the play in the second half to wear down the small webfoot team. Unable to pierce the strong Bruin line regularly, Oregon depended on the rifle-like passes of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin to keep them in the game.

His long heaves to end Dan Garza accounted for one touchdown and kept the Bruins jumping in the closing minutes of Play. The game was only eight minutes old when Hoisch made the first score. In the second period the Bruins marched 53 yards in four plays to score, Rossi plunging over from the four. But the Oregonians came back in the same period on a pass from Van Brocklin to Garza which advanced the ball from the Oregon 30 to the Bruin three where Bob Sanders scored. In the closing minutes of the third period the Bruin power began to tell and they worked the ball down to Oregon's seven where Chuck Page plunged over on the first play of the fourth period.

Harris, Joe Williams, Danny Wolfe, Magllolo and other linemen had their moments, and the whole line looked better In the second half than in the fiint. Knock out Mitchell's long run, on which the Texas secondary was caught out of position, and there would be less than 50 yards to charge against the Texas defense in the last two quarters. Texas lost two right ends during the melee, both Dale Schwartz-kopf and Jim Watson coming out lame. The Sooners. however, tried little wild stuff, and Peppy Blount, the third-string right end, caught a couple of handy passes that kept touchdown drives moving.

The Mustangs' rushing line helped give them another score early in the second period when Joe Thomas tried to pass from his 42 but was forced to retreat to the 24 where he lost the ball. Jack Halliday smothered the pigskin and then in five plays, SMU moved to the Aggies' three. Walker crashed over left, tackle to score.

An intercepted pass by Cecil Sutphin on the Aggie 27 set up the visitors' last touchdown. With the second team playing, the Mustangs moved in four plays to the one-yard marker and Bill Moxley cut through center to score. Jim Spavital did the work to make the Aggies' first score when took over on its 43. Spavital snaked to the SMU 44, and then after Bob Meinert lost a yard, he ran all the way, to the double-stripe. Jack Hartman's kick was good and the Aggies trailed 21-7.

That myth concerning the alleged invincibility of the Arkansas line was exploded here Saturday afternoon as Bob Woodruff's boisterous Baylor Bears blasted their way to a spectacular, 17-9 upset victory over the Porkers. Some 12,000 fans turned out to see Lyle Blackwood, Dudley Parker and Frank McKinney rip the Razorbacks' line to shreds, fighting from behind for victory in their 1948 Southwest Conference debut. This was no fluke victory Baylor outplayed the Porkers all the way, even though it trailed by a 9-0 score at half time. Penalties and a pass interception had already nullified three Baylor drives at that point, but the Bears fought back savagely to overtake the Razor-backs midway of the fourth quarter. A 28-yard touchdown sprint by Blackwood on the first play of the fourth period, followed by Louis Leal's extra point kick, had left the Bears trailing 9-7.

A few minutes later, sophomore Henry -Dick-erson climaxed a 53-yard ground drive by kicking a field goal from the Porker seven yard line that put Baylor ahead, 10-9. Hogs Beaten The Porkers were beaten, then, and knew it; but Frank "Jitter'' McKinney, a steamroller-like character from Lufkin, intercepted a desperate Arkansas pass on the Porker 40 in the closing minutes and skipped down the side line for (Continued on page 18, col. 2) ere's The Cotton Bowl was spilling over the sides, almost, at kickoff time. A strong south wind whipped the colorful flags and pennants overhead, and even at the bottom of the sheltered bowl the corner flags were popping briskly. First Quarter Texas got the wind for the first period, getting the ball on their 19 after holding the Sooners on downs, the Longhorns' Landry ripped off six yards but Rapacz sliced through on the next play, threw Canady for a loss.

Landry then quick kicked beautifully out of bounds on the Oklahoma 18 a 71 yard boot. Gillory returned the Sooners' next punt to his 36, giving Texas a nice gain on the exchange. Layne faded and pitched one high and far to Canady, speeding down the middle. Canady leaped and pulled the ball out of the clouds as he fell head first on the Oklahoma 25. It was a 39 yard gain.

Landry got two, and a pass to Bumgardner picked up six, then Canady drove over center for a first down on the eight. The Sooners were camped out wide for Gillory and" turned him back for a loss to the 13. Then Layne faded back, faking a pass, and Gillory came steaming around from a right flanker position on the ancient Statue of Liberty play. The Sooners diagnosed it quickly and several of them had a straight shot at Gillory, but the little man twisted and spun and raced across the goal for a touchdown. With Raven holding, Guess kicked the point.

Texas 7, Oklahoma 0 Joe Magiolo "recovered Mitchell's fumble on the Oklahoma 25 on the first play after the kickoff. The Longhorns sprung a hole in the Sooner line and Gillory popped through for 14 yards. But they let Buddy Burris through to rush Layne on the next play and it lost 12. Oklahoma was playing an eight man line, wide spread. It was an invitation to pass and Layne did, to Bumgardner, but Max dropped it.

An incomplete pass from Landry and a penalty followed and Landry missed the coffin corner on his punt. Another punt exchange left the ball in exactly the same spot. Second Quarter The Texas first string which had rested during the last third of the first period, came back in. Oklahoma picked up its initial first down on the 32, 'with Mitchell sneaking the last couple of yards. Sarratt broke through for 13 yards and a first on the 45.

Finding a hole between Petrovich and Holder, Brewer lunged twice for another first down on the Texas 41. Mitchell kept the ball and dashed off the left side for first down on the 30. After Brewer's three yard gain, Mitchell did it again for first down on the 20. Aided by an offside penalty, the Longhorns held to fourth down. Sarratt went wide on a lateral for an apparent first down, but Oklahoma drew a 15-yard roughing penalty and Sarratt kicked over the goal line.

The Sooners had marched 60 yards on 10 plays before running into trouble. A holding penalty shoved Texas back to the eight yard line. Landry kicked nicely to Mitchell on the Oklahoma 42 and he returned to the Texas 42, it was a 50 yard kick into the wind. After a five yard penalty, Oklahoma completed its first attempted pass a quick one, Mitchell to Heap for six.

(JP) A versatile but bumbling Louisiana State football team pulled itself together in the final period for a 70-yard touchdown drive to win from Texas 19 to 13, before 35,000 spectators. The Tigers, heavy favorites to win handily, showed superiority in most departments, but receivers missed good passes, backs fell on their faces with no tacklers present.

Tigers by apparently making the distance, but the ball was knocked out of his hands and squirted back across the line of scrimmage. Clay picked up the ball and stepped -over for a controversial touchdown. Guess kicked the point. Texas 14, Oklahoma 7 Third Quarter With the wind at his back Harris got a good kickoff aria. Wolfe threw Brewer on the The Sooners bucked for a first down on the 26.

Texas held and got the ball on its 31, couldn't go and Landry got off a towering 56-yard kick. Oklahoma was caught clipping on the return and penalized to the one-yard line. Gillory took Sarratt's kick on the run on Oklahoma's 35 and tumbled down to the 22. Gillory got two and Landry two; then Layne passed to Bumgardner for a first down on the 10. Canady slashed over left guard for six, then shot through a fine hole at the same place for a touchdown.

Guess kicked goal with Raven holding. Texas 21, Oklahoma 7 Operating from their 30, the Sooners missed a first down on a penalty but got the break back when a- roughing penalty against Texas second stringers wiped out a long loss and gave them a first down on the 47. Sarratt recovered a bad lateral from Mitchell back on the 38. A bounding Oklahoma punt nudged Vic Vasicek's leg down on. the Texas 24 and the Sooners covered the ball there.

Vasicek was looking for Sooners to block when the ball took an unexpected bounce. Brewer jerked loose for 10 yards and a first down, with third down on the eight, Brewer fumbled and Holder recovered on the seven. Pyle hit the line twice for nine yards and Landry made it first down on the 21. Two more running plays moved it to the 30 as the quarter ended. Fourth Quarter Canady burst through for 15 yards and a first down on the Texas 45, but the Longhorns bogged down there and Landry kicked over the goal.

The ball hit squarely on the goal stripe. Schwartzkopf came off the field limping. Thomas broke through the line for a nice gain and lateralled off to Mitchell who was suddenly in the clear.

The difference in the two teams was. the offensive playing of Southern Methodist's left half Doak Wal-Xer and the defensive sparkle of right end Sid Halliday.

two in the second was all SMU needed wnile the Aggies awoke too late to tally in each of the last two periods. Reinking's defensive play was superb as he started off by breaking up three Aggie plays that lost the hosts 28 yards back to their 14. Bill Long kicked to the Aggie 31. Jimmie McKissic, Ed Green and Walker in four plays moved the ball to the 15. Then in the most perfectly executed play of the game.

McKissic lateraled to Howard Parker, who lateraled to Wal and once a safety let a bounding punt hit him and be recovered by the Aggies to set up an touchdown. It was right in keeping with the tone of the game that a penalty against LSU helped the Tigers to their winning touchdown. Instead of taking a play which would have given the Tigers fourth down and five to go, with a punt apparently mandatory, the Aggies chose a penalty to make it third and 15 for LSU. On the next play Quarterback Y. A.

Tittle threw a pass to Al Her-onian for 38 yards, and LSU was on the way to win. LSU won on drives of 52 and 70 yards and a 73-yard pass play from Tittle to Dan Sandifer. The Aggies marched the opening kickoff back for a touchdown and later scored from the LSU 11 after recovering on page 18, coL 6).
