not bad at Gustafson groaned when he heard the statistics on fumbles the Hurricanes hobbled seven times and on five occasions lost the ball were lucky to win after losing the ball that many Andy lamented The Hurricanes changed their tactics in the second half and started rushing the Holy Cross throwers "We almost waited too long on Gustafson conceded I talked to Azdc-vion after the game he told me think I've found a good From what I saw found two Stephans and Roberts particularly the latter gave me some awful Gustafson was bent on giving Holy Cross full credit for a good game adding Cross did a good job of scouting us The game could have gone either If there was any consolation for being pierced by so many passes it was the fact the Hurricanes limited the Crusaders to a net five

Hurricanes quit for the intermission trailing 13 to 12 but this inspired no oratory nor panic in their dressing room The coaches corrected defensive mistakes and when they were ready to return to the field Gustafson told his players: in there and Gustafson had told his players before the game you play against Anderson up sgainst a tough (He didn't have to repeat that declaration to the Hurricanes

would be a toughie I remember masking a smile Wednesday afternoon when AYalter Klchef-ski or maybe it was Perry Moss assured me this was game which might be decided in the fourth quarter The game should have done the Hurricanes a lot of good It Is not often they will win while making so many mistakes Without asking coach Gustafson about it I imagine pass defense will be stressed next week So will tries for extra points unless the Hurricanes want to shift permanently to running for 'em Tom Roberts and Jack Stephans who harassed the Hurricanes with passes were good enough pitchers to make

Read it again and weep 293 yards The chaps who labored in ground defense particularly the unyielding linemen should attach this laundry money of their secondary brethern They restricted Holy Cross to five yards in 23 rushing plays and yet never knew until the final siren whether they would be rewarded by victory Just in case your neighbor told you how much of a hard-way triumph this was a recapitulation of the progress: Holy Cross 7-0 Holy Cross 7-6 Miami 12-7 Holy Cross 13-12 Miami 19-13 Holy Cross 20-19 Miami 26-20 The Hurricanes rushed for 224 yards with the incomparable Gordon Malloy who wore a cloak of greatness again leading the way with 57 yards in 10 carries That gives him 180 three games Via passes they added 94 more completing six of 10 but still not showing any arms to strike fear into the hearts of the scout from Mississippi State next week's opponent The statistic that tells the story of mess of mistake is the fumble department The Hurricanes fumbled seven tnne-and lost five including one the threshold of the Crusader goal The first such social boo-boo was committed by fullback Don Bosseler with Miami on the march after thwarting Holy Cross at the outset taking possession and moving for two first downs Venturing into left guard Bosseler was stopped cold so decided to try an uncalled-for lateral He flipped toward his surprised quarterback Bonofiglio Mario let the ball slither away and-then lost a 10-jard race to Holy Bob Cooney at the UM 20 night The 40-yard pass play gave Holy Cross a 13-12 halftime margin As you can see Miami's Carl

seconds before the first half ended Friday By HUGH FULLERTON JR Associated Press Sparta Writer Oklahoma and Texas two of the most potent football teams in the Southwest meet today in the 49th game of an old and colorful series And the result could leave the national rankings as thoroughly scrambled as lineup has been since quarterback Gene Calame got hurt Because of their high ratings and their tradition of playing fast and furious football in their annual clash at the Texas State Fair these teams get top billing over such encounters as Wisconsin Rice Iowa vs Michigan and Purdue vs Duke

replacement a 164-pound sophomore Jimmy Harris his equal at faking ballhandling and reading the enemy defenses Two other injuries caused coach Bud Wilkinson to make a total of eight changes in his first and second lineups As a result of all this and of the strength of the Texas line the odds-makers have disregard ed the ratings and installed Texas as a slight favorite Wisconsin-Rice is the nationally televised game of the week and for once the screen watchers complain that they were short-changed by the selection They're third and 11th in the AP ratings and offer a duel between two of

Moore when Johnson fell victim to almost the same sort of punch in the fatal 14th round last August appearad to have won the first round of the nationally televised fight with a sticking left jab and
