i i mr i Third Loss in Row Matches 1956 Skein By JOE HEILING Sports Staff DALLAS A reeling, once-proud heavyweight champion, Texas couldn't stay off the floor of the Cotton Bowl Saturday afternoon and took the count from hard-punching Southern Methodist University, 31-14, in a major upset. Trying to lick their wounds, the Longhorns had to fight like a battler with one hand behind his back due to their mistakes. All in the crowd of 48,000 knew that although the Longhorns fought gamely, they weren the sll 1 4 v- 1 -1 lm a THE YARDSTICK Texas SMIT First downs .....14 12 Rushing yardage 97 38 Passins yardage 90 U2 Passes 7-2fi 5-17 Passes intercepted by 2 3 Punts 8.3S.3 Fumbles lost 3 0 Yards penalized 25 60 same champ of old.

In addition, defensive halfback Ronnie Reel stepped in front of a Greg Lott aerial and hauled it back for 58 yards and another bolt-out-of-the-blue scoring punch. Add in a 28-yard field goal by Dennis Partee plus four extra point conversions and you have the most points an SMU team ever has piled up against Texas. The previous high was 28 in 1958. It was a most inglorious end to the Longhorns' six-year domination of this series.

They were 12-point favorites to make it seven-in-a-row but wound up with their third straight defeat as SMU staged a wild homecoming celebration at its 50th anniversary party. Except for tailback Robert Leach's three-yard smash early in the third quarter, following a disastrous four-yard punt by Corky Terry and Lott's seven-yard dash in the final quarter, the Longhorns couldn't put anything on the boards. Most of the time, they were struggling upstream against the tide of their own mistakes. The first half was just one tragedy after another for Texas, which was in 10-0 arrears at the intermission. They couldn't get out of the rut of their errors and there were plenty of those.

It was like the New York Yankees coming out minus the pinstripes on their uniform. Or with their bats sawed in half.
