kicking a 28-yard field goal in the last 10 seconds to had University of Texas 17- 15 before 60000 breathless foot-1 ball fans here Saturday It was a do-or-die chance The ball rested on the 10-yard

sumed his kneeling position preparatory to taking the snap I Froggy reached over to pat 1 Rote on the back Then the lines- men knuckled down here came the snap Rote handled it smartly 1 Williams swung his long right leg and flopped his hi hands As the Rice line fought off the snarl- ing white-shined Longhorns the ball sailed goalward in a long shallnw arc and after what eemed an eternity Referee Whitey Raecus signalled "field goal" 1 The pent-up tension on side lines and stands exploded then 1 Rice players and cheer-leaders i rushing on the field to hoist 1 Williams on their shoulders Others

In BY JACK MURPHY Star-Telegram Snorts Writer Riding full throttle on the deadly passing arm of Lindy Berry Texas Christian University's high-octane football machine proved a point for the air force in storming to a 33-27 triumph over Mississippi in a wild scoring jamboree before 15000 celebrants here Saturday night Stunned by an explosive split-T attack that sent the Rebels ahead in the first to a 20-8 advantage midway of the second quer te embattled Frogs fought back with a fiercely effective overhead game that left the Rebels limp at the finish Unable to check Rebels aground TCU snatched its fourth victory of the season from the fire by throwing caution to the wind and applying the old doctrine that the best defense is a good offense 20-19 at Halftime Berry's aerial darts pulled the Purple up to 19-20 at intermission and sent them ahead for the first time 26-20 midway of the third period But here the game was just hitting its stride Thirty seconds later Johnny Vaught's Johnny Rebs went in front 27-26 and it remained for another Berry knockout punch early in the final quarter for the ultimate decision Berry's devastating aerial bombs represented the difference in this rip-snorting struggle of contrasting offenses The cool Frog captain passed foe three touchdowns (to Morris Bailey Dart Wilde and John Morton) and set up a fourth tally Wilde furnished the first TCLI counter with a 37-yard pitch to Bailey The Rebel split-T featuring swift hard-running backs on pitchouts and smashes of Fullback John Dottley at the tackles in its own way was just as effeetive as Berry's passing Frogs trying everything in the way of defenses never found an adequate solution 398 Yards Rushing Figuring in two long scoring dashes by Dottley the Rebs had a total offense production of 508 yards that included 398 yards along the ground The Frog flying machine ground for 429 yards with 278 spaces being credited to passing And the Rebels were sorely wounded by a string of cutting penalties that pushed them back 122 yards on 19 fouls Two of Mississippi's malpractices figured in TC13s third touchdown and another wiped out a 52-yard passing gain late in the third quarter Vaught TCU's old All-American was vehement in his protest of officials' decisions "I just can't understand the officiating" he complained in the dressing room "I thought I had seen the worst I just can't understand it It wasn't consistent officiating" Shaken by the experience of another comeback struggle Meyer sought out Vaught in midfield and shouted "What a wild offensive battle!"
