20-14 exas, Beat By Identical Scores, SMU Record Crowd Sees Oklahoma Defeat 20-14 UU Outlasts Texas Aggies In 14-13 Till Baton Rouge, Oct. 9 Louisiana State squirmed past a surprisingly tough Texas A. and M. football team Saturday night, 14-13, but not before the Aggies flashed a hard running attack headed by Bobby Goof and Bob Goode. The estimated crowd of 35,000 who witnessed LSU's first home game was kept on edge by the Texans' sustained drives.

Missouri smashed a giant Saturday, breaking out a brand-new ground assault to defeat mighty Southern Methodist University, 20 to 14, before wildly cheering partisan fans. It wasn't that S.M.U.'s Doak Walker wasn't great. It was just that Missouri wouldn't believe he wore a halo.

S.M.U. -struck first when Gil Johnson, who was even greater Saturday than Walker, hit Doak with a 21-yard aerial to the Missouri four. Walker scored two plays later. But this was not S.M.U.'s day. It was Missouri's with Quarterback Bus Entsminger, Halfback Mike Ghnouly and Halfback Dick Braznell sharing almost equally in the glory.

Missouri, trailing nothing to 7 at halftime, started upsetting S.M.U., a team which had not lost in 15 starts, by moving the second half kickoff from its 2 all the way to a HaTlincf crnrin a Kroolr rf r-i nVti- tnnlrln Kir i Tech Trounces Tulsans, 41-20 Charley Reynolds Paces Raider Win Tulsa, Oct. 9 (U.R). Scor-ir. three times in the last quarter, Texas Tech rambled to a 41-20 victory over Tulsa Saturday before a crowd of more than 11,000. Charley Reynolds, Tech's fine right halfback, had a field day as he helped hand the Tulsans their third straight setback.

Just before halftime Reynolds ran a Tulsa kick back 65 yards for his team's seconds score. In the final period he sprinted 63 yards to score after taking a lateral, and dazzled the entire Tulsa team by returning the next kickoff for another 6 points. In addition he kicked five points after touchdown. Tulsa scored twice before Tech could register. Fullback Joe Mc-Graw plunged "over from the 8 in the first quarter and after Tulsa recovered a Tech fumble Paul Berry bulled over early in the sec Horned Frogs Beat Indianans, 7 To 6 Dallas, Oct.

9 (UP) The University of Oklahoma's precision-timed offensive upset favored University of Texas Saturday, 20-14, in the 42nd renewal of one of the Southwest's great football rivalries. A capacity crowd of 67,435 jammed into the newly-enlarged Cotton Bowl, setting a new attendance record for this section of the nation. and brought their partisans a foretaste of things to come when Fullback Leon Heath moved through a yawning hole for a second period touchdown, only scoring in the first half. But little George Thomas was the backfield star of this comfortable, cloudy afternoon. He sacked up Oklahoma's first victory over Texas since 1939 with two touchdowns, one in the third period and another in the fourth.

Texas went onto the field a two touchdown favorite, but it did not spring alive until the final ten minutes. Then, it put on a drive that was both thrilling and futile. An assortment of running and passing plays produced the Texas Texas Christian Scores Touchdown In Final Minutes Bloomington, Oct. 9 (U.R). licks, however, in the final period.

rugged football teams, scored a touchdown and extra point in the final two minutes Saturday to edge Indiana, 7 to 6. Some 28,000 fans watched TCU alternate teams and come from behind by unfolding a great passing attack. Starting on its own 31-yard line, with Quarterback Lindy Berry calling the plays, TCU swept down fast to Indiana's goal line just when the Horned Frogs needed action most. It took just three passes, the last one a 31-yard toss from Berry to touchdowns within that brief span. Paul Campbell dropped a 15-yard pass into Randall Clay's arms for one of them, and Fullback Tom Landry split the middle from five yards out for the other.

Oklahoma dominated the first half completely, both offensively and defensively, but play was into the second period when the victory-bound red-shirted Sooners punched their way down to the Texas one and sent Heath over. Thomas scored in the third by moving through the middle from the one-yard line and again in the fourth by showing his flashing heels to defenders trying to cut him down as he veered around right end from the 12. Les Ming kicked the extra points after Oklahoma's first two touchdowns, but missed his third try. It was his first failure of the season. Clay kicked both extra points for Texas.

The fast-breaking Oklahoma attack, well engineered by 164-pound Jack Mitchell, rolled up yards almost at will with Thomas and Heath sharing in the tricky execution of laterals and handoffs designed by Coach Bud Wilkinson. On paper, the Oklahoma ground game was as sound as it looked to the roaring fans. The Sooners sliced the Texas defense to slivers and rolled to 338 yards rushing. The Longhorns could got only 135. In the air, Texas got 111 yards on eight completions in 20 pass trys.

Oklahoma threw only five passes, completed three of them and netted 32 yards. In assaying the Oklahoma victory, it would be easy to overlook a flock of good players to concentrate on Thomas, Heath and Mitchell. But perhaps as annoying to Texas as any one or all of them was Merle Greathouse, who roamed up and down in his linebacking role, spilling Passer Campbell in his tracks several times and breaking up Texas thrusts repeatedly. Wilbur Jones, a reserve halfback, also had his moments of glory in the sterling defensive setup concocted by the Oklahomans. On the Texas defense, Captain and Center Dick Harris was outstanding despite a leg injury, while he had some able help from Tackle George Petrovich, End Lewis ond period.

However, an 18-yard pass, Milton Rathbone to Glenn Lewis, took Tech to the Tulsa 7 and Left Half Cal Stevenson carried the ball over. Reynolds' runback and conversion gave the Texans a 14-13 edge at the half. Ernest Hawkins passed to J. L. Gully for Texas Tech's third score in the third quarter.

In the final quarter Tulsa showed a momentary spark when Berry took Quarterback Jimmy Finks' pass on the Tech 47 and ran for a touchdown. Jimmy Ford kicked the second of his two conversions. But his flash was nullified by Reynolds' two long runs and a 42-yard dash by Tech Fullback J. W. Thompson for the final score.

Cadets Tally Early To Edge Illinois Champaign, 111., Oct. 9 (JP). Army's brute force, generated by a two unit substitution system, ground out four long touchdown drives Saturday as the unbeaten Cadets defeated Illinois, 26-21, before a sell-out throng of 71,119. The great Army outfit, rolling to its third straight 1948 triumph, scored in every quarter but the last and piled up a 26-0 margin before the Illini caught fire in the third period. Illinois, suffering its second loss in three starts, was pitifully out-manned and completely over-whlemed until Bernie Krueger, junior quarterback from Hammond, finally began making his passes count.

But by that time it was too lote. Although Illinois scored once in the third and twice in the finale, Army was on its one yard stripe with a first down as the gun ended the game. Texas Aggies Club Will Meet Tuesday The Tyler-Smith County Club will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday night at the Boy Scout hut of the Marvin Methodist Church. George Smith, Class of '30, and president of the Association of Former Students, will be a guest at the meeting, in addition to Dick Harvey from College Station.

E. E. Hendrix president of the Aggie organization, will preside. Holder and Reserve Center Dick Rowan. Heath, a surprising sophomore from Hollis, who stood in for Greathouse when the Sooners were on the offensive, was the leading ground gainer of the day.

The 192-pounder piled up 137 yards in 17 carries. Thomas and Mitchell got 77 and 43 yards, respectively, on 15 tries each. Pyle, Clay and Landry shared the Texas ball carrying with 52, 49 and 48 yards, respectively. In addition, Clay caught three passes for 47 yards. Scatback Perry Samuels of Texas and Heath turned in the most sparkling plays of the day.

Samuels' came on a 65-yard kickoff return to set up the final Texas score. He gathered in the ball on his own 15, burst through the Oklahoma middle and was away out in front, but Halfback Darrell Royal caught him from behind and dragged him down on the 20. Texas then went on to score in three plays with less than four minutes left to play. Heath broke through a big hole in the middle of the Texas line on his own 21 and raced 67 yards to the Texas 12 before H. J.

Shands rode him down from behind. It was this play that set the stage for what turned out to be the winning touchdown supplied by Thomas. For Texas, Clay bore the brunt of the attack, with Billy Pyle coming through for an occasional flash of greatness. But it was not enough.

These were metal posts sunk some six feet in the ground but the victory-crazed fans climbed the posts, broke them, and marched pubilantly around the field carrying the pieces over their shoulders. And while the Oklahomans were drunk with the spirit of victory, the fans of the University of Texas looking back on the thrill-packed game, winced at the memory of Greathouse. Mitchell and Heath, the three Oklahoma backs who set their team afire all through the contest. Myrle Greathouse, the oldest man (25) on the Sooner squad, was the spark of the Oklahoma team. He was carried from the field injured, but the fighting fullback could, not stay out for long.

The fans, both Texas and Oklahoma, some 6,000 strong, rose to cheer the player when he had to leave. Jack Mitchell, who operated as the man under, displayed a. bit of brilliant ball enough in the closing minutes as the Aggies' Jim casmon iuieu me air with passes. Texas A. ana m.

The Aggies' threatening pass attack fizzled in the final period when two heaves were intercepted. The Tigers' inability to get anything like a sustained drive going kept them in hot water most of the time. Only the superb punting of Harrel Rip Collins saved them from serious danger. In the last period however, a blocked Collins boot the fourth or fifth in the eight (years he's been playing put A and deep in Tiger territory.

A recovered fumble and a 56 yard punt took them out of the hole. Ken Konz took off like a scared Jack rabbit on the freak play that proved the clincher.

Nobody kidded themselves here in the edge of the Ozarks about Walker. He showed he is red-hot when he grabbed a touchdown pass in the fourth period on a play that netted 74 yards.

From then on it was Entsminger into the middle until the big clock ran out. Coach Don Faurot, one of the few men who figured Missouri' could win maybe, got full service from every man he sent onto Memorial Stadium field.

The Sooners had won.

But the drama continued as the fans poured out into the field and refused to leave. Snake dances started at both ends of the field red-shirted cheerleaders of Oklahoma leading.

The final play brought a bitter protest from the Rice play ers who thought it was third down but Referee Ad Curtis ruled oth erwise, and on the next play the game ended. Aside from Southern California's second-period score, most of the drive witnessed by 49,531 fans in Memorial Coliseum came from Rice, which got inside the 20-yard line repeatedly but could not score.

The Longhorns caughet fire in the beginning of the third quarter and drove deep in Sooner territory but just as had happened twice previously the tight defenses of Oklahoma held for downs. And how those red-shirted linesmen would charge. The Texas offense was smeared almost constantly when the chips were down.

The aerial attack by Campbell finally clicked for the initial score, and later, after the thrilling ran by Samuels had brought the ball to the Sooner 20, the Longhorns were able to score again to set the Texas fans afire with expectancy.
