opposite But this particular year '1 did have avery poor team To evade saying how bad zny team was I invited sports writers to watch scrimmage against Dobie's freshman team They made about five touchdowns against us and the scriveners wrote a long piece about awkwardness A little later we played a regular game against the same freshmen and to my utter amazement we held them to one first down

Associated Press Sports Writer DALLAS Oct 13- through the University of Oklahoma defense like an emery wheel cutting through steel Irvin Gilbreath 185-pound fullback led the University of Texas to a 19 to 0 victory today over the Sooners- An estimated trowd of 21000 persons saw Irvin score two touchdowns in the second period and one in the fourth to keep Texas' unbeaten record clean The Longhorns defeated Notre Dame 7 to 6 last Saturday The game was the Longhorns' throughout They clicked off 16 first downs against three for the Sooners Thep kept the Oklahomans on the defense practically all of the' game There was never a doubt of the eventual winner once the Longhorns started with the in spired Gilbreath setting the touchdown pace Played in Downpour' The final two periods were played in a heavy downpour and on a slippery gridiron which prevented any kind of football except running An added attraction was a fist fight between Jack Gray Texas end and George Parrish Oklahoma tackle The boys stood toe to toe and slugged it out until separated by game officials They were sent from the field but shook hands to the roar of approval from the crowd before departing Bohn Hilhiard sensational Texas laallback who last week scored the touchdown that beat Notre Dame was injured in the second half and had to be removed from competition- A late report said his injury was not serious Oklahoma simply' did not have enough offensive power seriously to threaten the redoubtable Texas line and the Sooners' passing attack was quickly grounded by an alert Texas secondary Coach Jack Chevigny started his second string team and it was not until he sent in his regulars that Texas scored The first touchdown of the second period was made when Hilliard passed 27 yards to Gilbreath who caught the ball behind the goal line Hilliard missed goal from placement Second Score Soon After The second touchdown was made a few minutes later A 21-yard pass from Hilliard to James Hadlock gave Texas first down on Oklahoma's 20-yard line Gilbreath ripped the Oklahoma line for -first down on the five-yard line Gilbreath then cracked through on an off-tackle smash for the touchdown Hilliard successfully kicked from placement Both teams were severely handicapped by the soggy field and slippery ball in the final two periods After going scoreless in the third chapter the Longhorns made it 19 to 0 early in the fourth period when Gilbreath Whirled off-tackle for first down on Oklahoma's line He then plowed through center for seven yards and on the next play swept through for a touchdown

13 UP) The Rice Owls sensing a real chance at the Southwest Conference football championship cleared the initial hurdle at top speed Saturday as they smothered the Southern Meth- University running attack and blanked the Mustangs 9 to The flying feet and the swaying hips of Bill Wallace accounted for the Owl touchdown and the accu rate toe of Leche Sylvester regis tered the field goaL The Mustangs famed for their aerial prowess made plenty of yardage through the ozone as the teams battled between the 20 yard lines but they couldn't con- nect with their flips when a con- nection would have meant a score Thrills Fans Wallace's 36-yard touchdown run gave the 14000 fans their greatest thrill It came at the end of the ofr first quarter after Witt's 60-yard kick had rolled dead on the Mustangs' 3-yard line to give the Owls the upper hand for the first time -1 in the contest Jack Rabbit Smith immediately punted back but the boot traveled only to the 36-yard line where Wal- lace picked it up on the bounce He raced toward the sidelines to his left- then suddenly cut back and proceeded across the goal line So well did he thread his way and so good was his teammates' blocking gi that not a hostile hand was laid on him Sylvester was not in the game at that time and McCauley missed the try for extra point The Owls unloosed 'the longest sustained drive of the day shortly after the teams came back for the second half Starting on their own 27-yard line the Kittsmen with McCauley and Wallace bearing the grunt found large holes in the Mustang wall and pushed to the Dallas team's 17-yard 6 line Three line plays did not net 0- the necessary yardage but the brainy John McCauley had maneu- vered the team into a position al most directly in front of the goal He called on Sylvester and the Browns- vile youth responded with a place kick about midway between the up- es rights The Feathered Flock and the Methodists finished even in great goal line stands Before the first quarter was half over the Mustangs thanks mainly to some nice air work had advancad the pigskin to the Rice two-yard I's line with four plays to lug it across Wilson Stopped -Little Robert Wilson who never a got loose during the whole after- noon made a yard at right guard On the next play the left side of the Owl line smeared him for a two-yard loss The alert Owl sec- Is ondary then knocked down a pass and on the fourth play Wilson's long swing around Rice's right wing 4 ended in a two-yard loss "I An intercepted pass and a 30-yard run down the siacunes by Mc- Cauley gave the Methodists a chance to show their goal line fight near the end of the second quarter After McCauley was tackled the Owls had almost 10 yards to go for a touchdown Witt made five of them at right guard Wallace picked up a half yard on the other side then Witt hit right again to carry within inches of the goal He tried a third time but was thrown back for no gain The lineup and summary Smith le Orr It:

times in estimating his team's strength Henderson tries to live up to the nickname but his smile and twinkling eyes take a weight from his words More often he gives a sincere opinion which Is usually extraordinarily accurate He seldom makes an out-and-out prediction that his team will run over any opponent but never says any opponent will beat his team Henderson I has done a lot more here than just build a good team He has made Tulsa highly football conscious by off-the-field promotion He knows most of the people in town and they all know him' He is active downtown as at the university and is never too busy to do anything that will build good will and support for the Hurricane He encourages the so-called "grandstand quarterbacks and coaches" is always open to all interviewers and makes at least two radio talks each week Before the season opens he holds a free public demonstration to help teach the fans some of the things that will help them enjoy the game: exhibiting the different
