McKNIGHT Associated Press Sports Writer FORT WORTH, Oct. Texas Christian rustled up 509 yards by ground and air to rumble on undefeated with a 39-7 submersion of hitherto unbeaten Baylor before 25,000 Christian converts today. Icily calm, the Christians, perhaps the greatest of all Southwest teams, stabbed the Baylor wall with runs that'netted 288 yards and added 236 more with deadeye Davey O'Brien's passing arm. Frogs Start Unsteadily Unsteady even to the half, when they led by 13-7, the Christians blew off the top in the final periods with incredible power and finesse, 'er, in their six touchdown es, did the Christians relinquish 'iball.

Then came the Christian storm. O'Brien climaxed a 66-yard drive with a 32-yard pass Clark snagged over the goal line, the eighth play in the drive.

29. Minnesota's football empire fell today. No longer are the Golden Gophers the symbol of reigning power in the Western conference. In their place the Wildcats of Northwestern, who beat down the mighty men of Minnesota, to 3, in one of the most bruising, sensational battles of season. Trailing, 3 to 0.

at the end of a blazing first half, the Wildcats struck with lighting rapidity to crash over the winning touchdown in the closing minutes. HAROLD STEBBINS JOHN CH1CKERNEO These four gentlemen found the fourth quarter high time for the mighty Pittsburgh Panthers to get its power working against Rams Saturday.

29. (JP) John Kimbrough, a 211-pound cyclone of a man from the windswept plains country, tore a fighting Arkansas line to shreds here today as the Texas Aggies staged a storybook finish to defeat the scarlet- shirtcd horde from the Ozarks, 13-7. Kimbrough, who is so rough he batters up his team mates in practice, led a 59-yard drive in the last two minutes of play that ended the Haskell Hurricane crashing'over from the 1-yard line. The game, played under a broiling sun, was witnessed by a crowd of 8,000 fans who were spent at the finish of a gridiron drama as gripping as historic Kyle field ever witnessed. The Aggies scored the first time they got the ball.

On the second play Dangerous Dick Todd, one of the greatest players over to wear the maroon and white of Aggieland, cut around right end and fought his way through a half-dozen Arkansas tacklers to race 51 yards for the touchdown. He missed the goal. Arkansas came storming back to score before two minutes of play had passed. With a 54-yard drive the Razorbacks marched to the score, Frank Mosley crashed through left tackle from the two-yard line. Mosley added the point and for more than 57 minutes the big Fordyce.

Arkansas, senior's good right toe seemed to stand between the Aggies and victory. The Aggies took Eakin's punt on the A. 41 yard line with the shadows lengthening and the clock showing two minutes to go. Kimbrough raced around left end and cut back for 14 yards. Todd made one at tackle and Walemon Price pitched a 31-yard pass to Owens Rogers.

Wilfred Thorpe tackled him from behind to save a touchdown. Kimbrough and Todd drove through for 8 and Kimbrough crashed to a first down on the Arkansas two. fumble but Arkansas was penalized then made the touchdown and Todd kicked goal. It was the first A. victory over Arkansas since 1937.

Aggs Try Field Goals Three times the desperate Aggies tried field goals. Dawson tried cne in the second quarter from the Arkansas 20-yard line; Hall tried the next from the 14-yard line, and Dawson tried another late in the fourth period from the Arkansas 26. Kay Eakln and Ralph Atwood were chief threats in the Arkansas backfield, Eakin's running and punting giving the Aggies most of their trouble. Big Joe Boyd, 215-pound tackle from Dallas, stood out in the stubborn Aggie line. The starting lineups: TEXAS A.

A. Likes To Get To Grid Games On Times; He One Night Too Early When District Attorney Burton S. Burks plans to see a football game he wants to be there In time for the kickoff. He especially wanted to watch so he barely left his office at noon, handling his correspondence and successively reading through numerous authorities and making notes on a yellow legal pad. Whistling, waving to his friends, he rushed to his car.

"Where to, Burton?" nailed a member of the sheriff's office. "To the same," he said over his shoulder. "Where else? I barely got through in time. Certainly don't want to miss it." A few minutes and the prosecutor was back," looking sheepish," said a deputy. He was accusative as he can be in the court room.

"Why didn't some of you guys tell me this was Thursday night?" The game was a night later. ARKANSAS Brltt Mays Thorpe WoodeU Heerm Hickcy Atwood Eakin Mosley Martin Hawkeyes Answer Critics Wilh Tie Of Boilermakers IOWA CITY, Oct. 29. Iowa's Hawkeyes heckled on several fronts because of listless traits, replied to their football critics today with a fiery performance which brousiit them a scoreless tie with heavily favored Purdue. The tie, easily a moral victory for the Hawkeyes, was the closest Iowa has come to winning a Big Ten contest at home since they walloped Wisconsin in 1833, Sub Back Paces Rice In Victory By OLEN W- CLEMENTS Associated Press Sports Writer HOUSTON, Oct.

29. institute today found a corking good substitute for its injured Ernie (Fat- boy) Lain in lanky, speedy E. Y. Steakley, who scored two touchdowns to defeat Auburn 14-0 for the Alabaman's third loss of the year. Twice Steakley burned up the gridiron with his speed to cross the Auburn goal.

The first time he outran Spec Kelly, Auburn's speed merchant, for 10 yards after taking Cordill's 20 yard heave on the Auburn 10. The second time he shook dust in the face of the whole Auburn team and galloped 62 yards for a touchdown. His score was made in the second quarter and the long jaunt came late in the fourth. Jake Schedule and Matt Landry kicked the extra points from placement. The Rice team, which dropped its first three games and then nosed out University of Texas last week for its first win of the season, played a rugged, inspired game and kept the hardy Plainsmen from Alabama outside their 24 yard line.

The Texans rolled up 15 first downs to Auburn's 5 and rolled over the Southerners for 285 yards as against 112 for Auburn, Spec Kelly and Pelham Sitz, elusive Auburn backs annoyed the Rice line no end with short but frequent gains. Bo Russell captain of the Auburn team and perhaps the best lineman on the field stopped many plays. Jake Schuehle, Billy Cline and Cordill set up the first Rice touchdown with running that carried the ball from well past midfield to the Auburn 36. Cordill passed to Steakley who found pay dirt in a few strides. Rice's second touchdown came after the teams had struggled all over the field.

Steakley skirted end on a sweep and cut down field in a dash that netted 62 yards and a touchdown. The already crippled Rice team, which has several important backs in the hospital, saw Captain Jess Hincs carried from the field with an injured leg.

The University of Chicago ran up its largest football score since the 39 to 0 Dartmouth triumph five years ago in overwhelming Depauw, 34 to 14, today for its first victory of the season, Some 12,000 saw the Moroons make all their scores in the second and third periods. Garcia's Impressive Drills Cause Critics To Predict He Will Unseat Champion NEW YORK, Oct. 29. has been increasing opinion for the last several days that Henry Armstrong will get knocked off the hinges by Ceferino Garcia in their fight for the welterweight championship next Wednesday night at the garden.

Garcia, a powerful, hard-hitting Filipino, has looked extremely good In every workout, while Armstrong appears to have lost some of his zing in the two months since he won the lightweight crown In a gory mix-up with Lou Ambers. A lot of the wise old heads like Dumb Dan Morgan have looked the pair over carefully and have picked Garcia. At first practically all of them were stringing along with Henry the furious little ncgroc, despite the 1C pounds he must concede to the battle-scarred challenger. They said "you've got to stick with the champion." But now they are beginning to suspect that Armstrong at last has been over-matched. While Garcie hf.s been' belting sparring partners clear out of the ring with his terrific under-hand swipes, Armstrong's workouts have been listless except for rare flurries.

Henry's lip that was so badly cut in the Ambers fight, became bruised Jn one of his first sparring sessions and he since has done his boxing protected by a mask something like those worn by baseball catchers, This pillar is not guaranteeing that Henry will lose to Garcia, because he is most remarkable little but only giving a vague idea ol Uie way things look. Meanwhile Santa Clara, Darth- mouth, Notre Dame, Duke, Tennessee and Oklahoma protected unbeaten records. A crowd of 80,000 packed the Yankee stadium and saw Notre Dame, trailing most of the way, score twice in the fourth quarter for a 10-7 conquest of Army. Santa Clara's margin over Michigan State was a point after touchdown, 7-6, while Dartmouth spilled Yale, 24-6. before 72,000.

Tennessee's brilliant backfield rolled over Louisiana State, 14-6, as Oklahoma found Tulsa easy. 28-6. East Loses Intersectiotially The East took a beating in intersectional warfare for, in addition to the losses suffered by Army and George Washington, New York university was crushed 32-0 by Ohio State, now tied with Northwestern for the Big Ten lead, and Catholic dropped a 13-0 decision to St. Louis. Boston college, however, buried Florida, 33-0.

Penn state pulled the prize Eastern upset in a 33-6 rout of Syra- form. Torbie MacDonald scored touchdowns in Harvard's 26-7 rout of Princeton: Cornell packed too much strength for Columbia and 23-7 Holy Cross 1 fleet backs ran up a 21-0 count on Colgate; Penn and Navy fought to a scoreless draw before 70.000. Michigan and Wisconsin scored Big Ten victories but Purdue was held to a surprising scoreless deadlock by Iowa. Michigan pushed over Illinois. 14-0, and Wisconsin edged out Indiana.

6-0. Kansas Upsets Kansas Slate Kansas shocked the Big Six conference with a 27-7 victory over Kansas State while Missouri scored at Nebraska's expense, 13-10. Iowa State, the conference leader, maintained its unbeaten, untied status by whipping Marquette, 7-0. In the Southwest, Southern Methodist nosed out Texas, 7-6, and Texas A. and M.

came from behind to nip Arkansas 13-7. Rice, without the services of Ernie Lain, trounced Auburn, 14-0. Southeastern conference games saw Alabama run up a 26-6 count on Kentucky; Tulane bury Mississippi State, 27-0, and Vanderbilt turn back Georgia Tech, 13-7, The Southern conference race probably was definitely decided when Duke's undefeated Blue Devils blanked North Carolina, 14-0. In the Par West, California's Golden Bears remained undefeated and untied in a hard-earned 13-7 victory over Oregon State while Southern California rolled up a 317 count on Oregon. U.C.L.A.

Defending conference lwo contenders fnr cone nf Bo(vl University California battered out a 13 to nghtln football team today. State related and Albert Kemp Graham able support, and who weighs In like a senior welterweight, crashed the Pampa Harvesters' line, secondary and championship hopes here this afternoon to give Amarillo High a 14-0 victory in a traditional District 1 football game witnessed by eleven thousand patrons, including about 3,500 Harvester supporters who came by special train and automobiles. Thompson Is 'Big Show A staunch Amarillo line, featured by Center Stanley Mauldin, Tackle Billy Hale and Ouard Charlie Gill, with End Pat Humphreys playing a fine first half, helped clear way for Gallopin' Bill, who is less than one of a string of out-' standing Amarillo backs, trailing Wild Horse Mayes, Chigger Enochs, and others. The churning legs of stocky Thompson, sometimes behind interference and sometimes not, helped carry the Sandies to a 262 to 198 advantage in yardage gained, to 15 first downs to 6.

Besides his running, Thompson did a fine batch of forward heaving for the Sandies, these helping pile up first downs and a greater gross yardage. Blazer Gets Good Help Thompson had help, of course, all the way through. He was flanked by a pair of fine backs in Cecil Corbell and Bill Andrews, the latter a lanky individual who needs only a pair of strong ankles to be a high school All-American. It was his second start of the season, having been injured before the season opened. Pampa also had eleven men on the field, sr.d they performed remarkably well against the odds.

J. W. Graham, quarterback, is a lad any high school team could use with pleasure. Pete Dunaway, other in a string of Pampa and Amarillo tin- gave more than once the 146-pound quarterback "almost" got away for points. He was the best passer on the field, and gave Thompson a run for individual honors all the way through.

Tirst Period Is Scoreless There was no denying Thompson's superiority, however; the lad is good. If he had had the support former Amarillo High teams have given their scampering backs, there would be little doubt concerning the ultimate winner of the District 1 race. After a scoreless first quarter, brightened by long runs by Thompson and Graham and fine punting by the same fellows, the Sandies pushed over a six-painter early in the second. Orvil Tigart, Sandie quarterback, had scooped up a Pampa punt on his 35, and the Sandies started their touchdown drive from there. Thompson was good for two nice gains and a first down on the Pampa 45.

The Harvesters drew a 15-yard penalty for piling on here, and Thompson ran to the 23 as the quarter ended. Thompson made first down on the 16 as the second period opened. Andrews made 3, and on six more line plays, Thompson had a touchdown, going over from the one-yard line.
