They had TCU down, 8-0. But midway of the third period the Frogs came to life and swept 68 yards on the running of raging Jack Spikes and the passing of Ehnis. From the 1-foot line Enis rammed across for a touchdown, then passed in the end zone to the mighty Spikes for the two points that tied toe score. Enis gave the crowd of 39,0001 largest ever to see TCU and Texas play in Fort Worth lieart fail ure by hobbling toe high passback, but recovered, ran to his right and flipped to Spikes.

That set off a Texas Christian offensive and defensive explosion.

Ficfona Boosted In Texas Leag Harold Scherwitz, one of my favorite sports writers, wrote this Interesting item in his San An tonio Light column several days ago: "Everybody used to think that the Texas Baseball league re volved around Houston and Dallas. Without these cities, the league would be a goner. Look now who's carrying the banner with a "forward" smeared all over it and making full plans for next summer when it's extremely doubtful if Houston will be with us, speaking in baseball terms, and Dallas may not be. "The new bellwhether, the new prophet of optimism, the new cornerstone, or whatever you want to call it is one of the newest league members and one of the smallest from a population stand pointVictoria. "Victoria club officials, undis mayed by a last-place finish in 1958, blamed on a late start that found the parent Dodgers fresh out of talent for their new affiliate, went to the recent Memphis baseball meeting determined to hold the league together if possible.

They did a tot in that direction, abetted by Marvin Mil- kes of San Antonio and or three others. They discounted about 99 per cent of the malarkey dished out by the double-talking Bill DeWitt and made their own decisions. "Then they went ahead and made a new and stronger working agreement with the Dodgers and to show their fans they meant business, arranged for the immediate assignment of the popular Pete Reiser to be the "59 manager. They are now ready, a month andhalf after the 1958 cam-paignf to get busy on next season, "What's more (and this is important), tteir confidence and optimism is bound to be a shot in toe arm for the shaky members of toe circut. "Dick Butler's league was hicky as we've always contendedwhen it landed Victoria as a member." These well put-together words need no further comment Dodgers Count Fine Farmhands The Loi Angeles Dodgers have often been criticized for events in baseball during 1358 but Fresco Thompson, vice-president in charge of the Dodgers' minor league operations, points with pride to toe club's far-Dung sys- tern.

No less than 38 of Fresco's farmhands were selected for either mid-season all-star games or for their respective league's all-star teams. In addition, two managers were singled out Clay Bryant, pilot of the Montreal Royals, was voted manager of toe year in the Internationa League. Danny Ozark, skipper of the Macon (Ga.) farm was named to manage toe Sally League's all-star aggregation. Fabulous Frank Howard, who finished out the season with the parent Dodgers, was picked as rookie of the year and also won the most valuable player award while performing for Green Bay of. the Three-I League.

At Green Bay, the gigantic Ohio Stater led the league with 37 home runs, 119 runs batted hi, 311 total bases, and 104 runs. Outfielder Gus "Sandmino of Kokomo was named Most Valuable Player in the Midwest League. He topped toe circuit with 29 homers. An 18-game winner, Southpaw Tom Lasorda of Montreal won toe most valuable pitcher prize in the Internationa League.

The Razorbacks moved to the ten were quarterback Jim Monroe passed to third string end Charlie Barnes in the end zone for the score. In the fourth period, Arkansas proved again its airtight defense was no fluke.

Trailing 13-6, SMU opened all stops and Meredith tried again and again for a touchdown strike that had pulled previous games out of the fire. Even as the final gun sounded SMU had lined up without a huddle for one last pitch from the golden arm of their quarterback. On paper the upset ranks as one of toe biggest of the season. After battling teams' like Notre Dame and Ohio State on even terms and whipping Missouri, Georgia Tech, Texas and Texas SMU never saw daylight against the Arkansans. Conversely, Arkansas had bad one of its poorest seasons in many years with six straight losses before defeating and Hardin-Simmons.

Meredith's personal statistics did not detract from his greatness. He threw 21 times, com pleting 11 for 117 yards. But as the Arkansas goal line drew near he was unable to muster the scoring punch.

Rice came back with a 67-yard fourth period -scoring drive but the Owls otherwise were unable to move beyond the MM 40, losing the ball to the alert second half Aggie defense on two fumbles and a pass interception. Milstead, connecting on 15 of 28 passes for 165 yards for the day, hit a 12-yarder to end John Tracey for a touchdown that gave the Aggies a 7-0 lead. Rice re plied with a 72-yard march that saw quarterback Jon Schnable score from the one.

Fullback Hart Peebles put Rice ahead, 14-7, in the second period by scoring from the one, but Milstead plunged over from the one five seconds before the half and the score was tied again, 14-14.
