The Aggies were bowled over by the rampaging Bengals, apparent ly determined this season to re gain the football glory they haven't known since 1946. The Texans, however, never quit trying and, in the last play, almost scored on a pass that traveled 41 yards to the Tiger ten.

The intersectional fray wa witnessed by about 30,000, most of them LSU partisans thristing for Tiger touchdowns. LSU Fullback Ebert Van Buren, like his brother, professional foot ball Steven, battered through the line for healthy gains. Precision in the line and down field gave him plenty of room to stretch his legs. Playing his heart out for the out classed Cadets was little Glenn Lippman, a scat halfback who whizzed through the Bengals on loping punt returns and sweeps Aggie defensive star was big Jim Flowers, a tower behind the line Louisiana State scored in every period. Touchdowns came on three passes, a 62-yard run by Van Buren and a two-yard sneak by Quarterback Carroll Griffith.

Some 15,000 fans trekked into Rice Stadium, which was virtually an island in the receding water of a flood that had swamped 720 city blocks of Houston Saturday.

The win broke Missouri's heartbreaking losing streak. The Tigers this year already have lost two games by one point margins to Ohio State, 34-35 and last week to Southern Methodist University, 27-28.

Aggie Fullback Ben Aldridge scored the game's first touchdown from the three-yard line. Quarterback Jack Hartman converted. Missouri butterfingered away their chances to even the score in the opening quarter, but came back with a 40-yard drive as the half ended to send Glorioso around end for 14 yards into the end zone, untouched. He kicked the point. The second half was Missouri ball game.

Whatever Coach Don Faurot said to the Tigers in the dressing room it did the trick. They took a punt on their own six and drove 94 yards to the payoff. Southpaw Braznell heaved a beautiful 34-yard pass to Glorioso with seven minutes gone in the third and Glorioso scored standing up to top that drive. On their final six-pointer, the Tigers took a Cowboy punt on the 40 and scored in three plays, Braznell doing all the work. Missouri had the best of every thing according to statistics.

Wisconsin, a 13-point underdog, surprised California by taking a 13-to-7 lead in the first quarter and for a while it looked like the Golden Bears would have trouble preserving their undefeated record. But California bounced back in the second period to take a 14rto-13 halftime lead and then pushed over two touchdowns in the third period to Cinch the victory. The Badgers battled the Bear forward wall on even terms throughout the first half but couldn't keep up the pace in the third period as clever Cal Quarterback Bob Celeri discovered a weakness in the left side of Wisconsin's line.

Additional Sports On Page 6 1 What broke Indiana's back in the late stages was the masterful quarterbacking of Lindy Berry, the TCU veteran, and the line-smashing of his sidekick, Jim Hickey.

But it was primarily a game of two stout lines which refused to budge much, until they tired in the waning moments. The first TCU score came swiftly in the first five minutes.

The Hoosi-ers started from the TCU 27, from where Nick Sebek passed to Hugh Craton for nine yards. Craton, a sophomore end, sprinted unmolested for the score.

Minutes later another Indiana drive bogged down after a 23-yard field goal attempt by Don Hinkle failed, the ball hitting the crossbar and bouncing back. When the playing field dried, TCU took to the air in the second half, Berry masterminding the attack. TCU started its second touchdown drive around midfield. Berry tossed a 10-yard aerial to John Morton and two laterals gave the visitors their final score. The laterals went from Morton to Morris Bailey to Hickey, who raced 28 yards for the touchdown.

In the fourth period TCU drove all the way to the Indiana five. But Indiana held. Ludiker tried a field goal from the 19-yard line but it, too, fell short. Score by periods. TEXAS CHRISTIAN 7 INDIAN 0 0 6 6 0 013 0 6 Texas Christian Scoring: Touchdowns George.

Austin 13 Commerce, Oct. 8 An underdog East Texas State College grid team scored a stunning 13-0 upset victory over highly regarded Stephen F. Austin, Saturday night Wilkinson, Cherry Praise Both Teams Dallas, Oct.

8 (JP). Blair Cherry of Texas and Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma each praised the other's team Saturday after the Sooners had beaten the Longhorns 20-14 in a thriller of this deep Intersectional rivalry. "You have a great team," said Wilkinson to Cherry. "That long pass your boy (Ben Proctor, Texas end) dropped in the end zone might have changed the game. We.

were very fortunate." "Great team you have there Bud," Cherry said to the Oklahoma mentor. "Oklahoma has a great football team. We played a good game and have nothing to be ashamed of." There was nothing to mar the game Saturday nothing, that is, like 1947, when bottle throwing by Oklahoma fans led to a decision to transfer the game to a home-and-home basis. But indications are good now that the game will be continued in Dallas. The present contract runs through 1951 and another has been arranged by the two schools to run through 1953, subject to approval of the Big Seven confer ence.

However, there is this difficulty. The Big Seven may not ap prove it since there is a rule in that circuit that limits its members to playing on their own campus. Texas-Oklahoma has been an exception but Kansas was forbidden to play Texas Christian in Kansas City and Oklahoma sources say it is feared Kansas will voU against the Texas-Oklahoma game in Dallas and other members will follow suit A vote fivt it needed, FOOTBALL RESULTS Chadron Nebr.

Dead-eye Arnold Galiffa and hard-running Karl Kuckhahn re- minded West Point enthusiasts of the famed touchdown twins, Doc Blanchard and Glen Davis, who led the Cadets to victories over the Wolverines in 1945 and 1946 in their only previous games. Terrific was the word for' the entire Army team. The Wolverines, unable to cope with their powerhouse defenses either on the ground or in the air, were a humble lot as they fought a losing battle to stave off their first defeat since the Illinois game in 1946. Michigan's passing attack, never too strong this season, crumpled completely when star tosser Chuck Ortmann suffered a neck injury on the second play of the game and was carried from the field on a stretcher. Michigan tried 23 passes and completed only three for a total of 16 net yards by air.

Army hnd 13 first downs and 171 yards on the ground, compared with 12 first downs and 187 yards for Michigan. For the Cadets, it was possibly the greatest victory in recent history. It was the 14th Army win without a loss. After pushing across its first period t-d on an 88-yard drive which took only 10 plays, Army bounded back to cash in on a Michigan fumble in the second quarter for another counter. The Cadets marched almost the length of the field, with Frank Fischl skirting the end for the I drive-capping first touchdown.

Point-hungry Army had little difficulty turning the second-pe-j riod Wolverine fumble into a touchdown.

In the fourth period, the Wolverines took just lix plays to score from the Army 30 after rushing Army's punter successfully on a fourth-down at' tempt. Chuck Lentz flipped to End Harry Allis to give the Wolves nine yards. Fullback Don Defek battered his way through center and then Allis skirted end to bring the ball to the one-foot line, whereupon Dufek dived over for the score. With only two minutes left, Kuckhahn bucked off guard from the Michigan seven for Army's final touchdown. Halfback Vic Pollock had set things up with a super-dupcr 25-yard jaunt through most of the Wolverine team.

8 (U.R). Underdog Army returned to the heights of its wartime football supremacy Saturday by snapping Michigan's 25-game victory with a hard-foufiht 21-to-7 triumph before 97,239. Coupling a pulverizing passing attack with a blitz-like ground game, the Cadets blasted across a touchdown in the opening period Mississippi Ties Willi Clemson 7-7 Clemson, S. Oct. 8 (U.R).

Mississippi State and Clemson jammed all their offense into five furious, first-quarter minutes Sat urday night then spent the remainder of the night in utter frustration for a 7-to-7 tic Desperate rallies by both ball clubs in the dying minutes failed to give the Southeastern Confer ence visitors a "moral victory." Fumbles brought 15,000 fans up screaming five times in the opening six minutes. One of the muffs stopped a Clemson drive at the one-yard line. But a few plays later the TigerR turned the slick field to their own advantage. Center Gene Moore clutched a Sjtate fumble at the Clemson 16 lirte in the quarter. Three substantial line thrusts moved the ball to the one-yard line.

Tailback Ray Mathews, a spindly 175-pound junior from McKeesport, struck sharply off right end for the first touchdown. Tommy Chandler converted. That was the first touchdown scored through the Mississippi State line in three games and Clemson was soon to find out why others had failed. The Clemson smash transformed Coach Arthur (Slick) Morton's sophomores from an unkempt, poorly-organized outfit Jnto a suddenly dangerous one. Halfbacks Sims coolly grabbed the Tiger kickoff at the 15.

The Heidelberg, speedster cut wide to midfield, then slammed back down the middle to Clem-son's 15 before Bob Hudson caught him from behind. Four plunges steered State to the one, and Quarterback Don Kobinson sneaked over from there. Mas Stainbrook tied it up with a nerfpet nlarempnt -a nJ Ca, Kea KSiaerS JiOp TuUa I1?

Sherman, a scrappy 165-pound-er from Wilkes-Barre, Pa.t twice zipped through the tough but tiring Gamecocks for touchdowns as the home team put up a much stiffer battle than the crowd of 28,500 had expected.

So desperately did the dame-cocks dig in that North Carolina, a four-to-six touchdown favorite, was held to a 7-7 draw for the first half. Three times South Carolina held the Tarheels in goal-line stands and not even Justice could crack their first-half defense.
