BY AMOS MELTON If the British won many of their World Wax I battles on "the playing fields of Eton" the TCU Horned Frogs defeated the Texas Longhorns in their lecture room last week Only those very close to the Purple team know the story and it's a most interesting one Everybody is now agreed that the TCU defense which held the mighty Texas attack to five first downs and threw back those fine scoring opportunities with seeming ease was the biggest factor in the upset And it was no accident far from it we assure you Mr Blair Cherry the astute young Bible assistant is quoted in a Dallas paper as saying that TCU used the same defense that Oklahoma and SMU did against Texas We don't claim to know as much football as Blair but if he is quoted correctly he didn't know what he saw or was joshing somebody For the Frog defense Saturday was original at least in details with Dutch Meyer The principle of course has been tried before even by some high school teams But it takes masterful planning and great attention to detail to make things perfect We can't say exactly what the Frog defense was That would be giving away a good thing But can reveal that it was intricate and complicated and that only boys thinking football a solid week could have mastered all the maneuvers That's the real story On last Monday smart young Walter Roach turned in his scouting dope on Texas He has seen the Longhorns against SMU and Baylor He had everything down to a fine point when the high command went into session With all members of the staff contributing their ideas the Dutchman worked out his defense having the last say on disputed points The planning was letter per North Texrs 15 East Texas 8 Southwest Texas 29 Sam Houston 7 WrYorl Worth LJ Wr vs Kansas City lifl WED NOV 19 1 GAME AT 8:30
