Weird Weather Again Plagues Lubbock Game Texas Tech Smacks Kansas, 26-7, as Tornado Shortens Ga TRBTtr 'and Texas Tech in possession on its own 42, took second billing to mother nature. She smiled neither on victor nor vanquished as rain fell in sheets intermittently and then constantly, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a tornado played around 10 miles west of Lubbock near Reese AFB. The crowd of 35,300 left at various intervals but there was still a good portion on hand when referee Harold Matthews called the game at 9:25. Despite the weather condi-tions, each team managed aerial touchdowns, with a 97-yard pass-run from quarterback Bill Fenton to split end Willie Ray Smith accounting for the lone Kansas touchdown. This gave Kansas its only lead of the night, one that wj quickly wiped out by the fighting Red Raiders in the second quarter.

Tech's first touchdown toss was a rollout pass from quarterback Tom Wilson to tailback Donny Anderson for five yards, making a beautiful fake into the line. The combo clicked for six yards and the final Red Raider tally. Again was the night's most consistent runner with 90 yards in 20 carries, but Anderson, after a fumbling start, picked up 59 yards in IS carries and caught six passes for (2 yards and two touchdowns. He also av-' erased 38 yards on three punts. Smith was the leading receiver for Kansas with three for 132 yards.

Despite the terrible playing conditions it was evident that the Red Raiders have both the offense and defense to contend for the Southwest Conference championship this season. But it will be done with halfback offense. The fullback, Jim Graham, carried the ball twice for two yards. The Tech offense was strictly Agan. and Anderson and Wilson, for Mike Leinert, the heralded sophomore from Houston Milby, fumbled the lone time he car ried, and John Scoveel, the Dallas quarterback, threw one incomplete pass.

The vicious tackling of the Red Raider defense must have been a thing of joy for the Tech coaching staff but the pass protection for Wilson left much to be desired. Kansas had no breakaway runner the caliber of Gale Savers of the 1964 eleven, but tailback Mike Johnson will probably prove more versatile. Johnson netted only 11 yards in three carries, but caught five passes for 68 yards and averaged 46 yards on two punts. He was also a fine blocker. Tech scored the second time it had possession, capping a 77- yard drie with a 46-yard field goal.

Two 15-yard penalties, one for roughing and kicking and another for a personal foul ate up much of the remaining distance. When Ken Gill's field goal attempt from the 36 fell short and Chester Howard nailed Dave Waxse on the Kansas 3. it appeared the Javhawks were in real trouble, but Michell must have been a student of Shakespeare.

catching the Tech secondary flatfooted. Robert Yancer took up the chase but it was hope less as the former Beaumont speedster raced in for the touchdown. Kansas led, 7-3 with 25 seconds left in the first quarter, but the tornado warnings would have had to sound then if Kansas was to win this contest. The Ja hawks did reach the Tech 23 after recovering Lein-ert's fumble but the Kansas attack fizzled when Johnson's Tech 30 fell short. A fine punt return of 18 yards to the Kansas 42 got Tech's first touchdown drive going.

It took only five plays and a 15-yard personal foul penalty for Tech to score. Wilson fumbled from the Kan sas one and guard James Cecil was the last man off the ball in the end rone. Sophomore Bob Bearden opened his varsity career for Texas Tech by successfully booting two of two extra points and a 20-yard field goal.

If Tommy O'Boyle's Greenies are indeed improved over last year as claimed, the score this year they didn't.

By DAVE CAMPBELL Special Correspondent BATON ROUGE History played a cruel joke on the Texas Aggies and new coach Gene Stallings here Saturday flight. It repeated itself. 7 Before a sellout crowd of 69,000, brawny Louisiana State turned in a 10-0 season-opening victory that had about every earmark of 1964.

The left tackle was Ernest Maggiore. With :31 left in a first quarter that had seen the By LOU MAYSEL Sports Editor It wasn't very neat but The University of Texas Longhorns had enough innate class, toughness and hustle to slap down the bumbling Tulane Green Wave, 31-0, Saturday night to the immense pleasure of 40,000 fans who suddenly found the board didn't show it. The Cong-horns, who swept all four of the games in this series and have a 15-1-1 record against Tulane, ran the scoreboard up to 31-0 last year too. The game was what fans have become accustomed to seeing in Aggies giving the Tigers fully as good as they had received, Maggiore came rushing through on fourth down apparently untouched and blocked Phil a lexas slaughter of Tulane.

The second half produced a Texas tidal wave almost as destructive in football equivalent as Hurricane Betsy, which caused transfer of the game to Austin. Texas, which never has been noted for its stylish first games under coach Darrell Royal, probably deserved a C-plus for the neatness of their victory.

However, the Greenies graded out with a flat for their ability to hang onto the ball.
