The setback was the first for the Harvesters in conference competition, and knocked them out of a three-way tie with Lubbock and Amarillo for the district lead.

The Westerners stiffened and held for two downs, but Dunham rifled a bullet pass over center to Arthur for the score. On the try for extra point, Edson's placekick was low, hitting a Pampa player in the back and bounding back, leaving Pampa with a 13-7 lead.

Power-Packed Juggernaut Finally Strikes Penn Dumps Army Men From Ranks Of Undefeated, 19-0 (By The Associated Prtisl PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31 power-packed football forces bided their time for two periods today and then struck swiftly three times in the second half to dump Army from the list of the nation's unbeaten teams 19-0 before an. estimated throng of 68,000 in Franklin field. The Quakers' victory was clean cut even though two ot their three touchdowns resulted from pass interceptions deep in Army territory. Army's vaunted offense was stalled at every important stage by Penn's rugged line.

Penn struck first early in the third quarter, when Halfback John Welsh intercepted an ill-advised pass by Army's Captain Hank Mazur and ran it back 39 yards to the Cadet's four yard line. Bert Stiff, the Quakers' abrasive fullback, cracked it on across the line on his third attempt. Again in the final period the Cadets tried another aerial from deep in their own back yard and this time Donald Bitlers Quaker captain, snaked it and went all the 32 the score that buried Army's last hope. It was a tired, dispirited and ditappointed Army team that a few moments later permitted Paxson Gifford, unsung Penn reserve, to break loose on a 52 yard jaunt that carried him within three yards of its line. There was little resistance left as Bob Brundage, substitute fullback, dived over from the six inch line for the third touchdown.

Dick Martin place kicked the consecutive victory. The losers had a 17 to 15 edge in first downs, but gained a total- of only 289 yards to 348 for Hardin-Simmons. Arizona opened the scoring in the first quarter when Jim Negri, fullback switched to a half to fill the spot left vacant when Bob Ruman was injured, ended a 6 yard drive with a short pass Shanty Hoban for a touchdown. Tackle Jack Irish converted. Hardin-Simmons came back with a sustained drive of 65 to tie the score when back Alvin Johnson carried the ball ovsr from the Arizona two and Halfback Dave Ryan converted.
