presented the Purple the first perfect performance from placement by kicking three extra points Although the game never was close competitive-wise on the field the Frogs couldn't have retained claim to an eighth-place ranking in the 'United States on the basis of their play in the first 30 minutes So in more ways than one they needed that second-half snapback from slumber Alabama spirited in its opening home game after two straight defeats never moved into serious scoring territory but did drive to the TCU 19 on the final play of the first half in which the Crimson Tide could manage only two first downs So while the Frogs' attack sputtered at the moment of truth on two scoring opportunities in the first half their defense kept them out of danger with rugged resistance that has featured every outing thus far and blanked three foes in a row Then the first half deteriorated into a meaningless mess of miscues Alabama lost the ball three times on fumbles but the Frogs reciprocated by fumbling it away twice themselves and tossing it away again on an Alabama interception There was a minute to go in the half however before the Tide manufactured enough offense to get a first down Then TCU turned the Jekyll-Hyde transformation The Frogs came out blocking with some of their fire of former Turn to Frogs on Page 4 N4i ii tf-40 1 80-Yard Drive Halted Those two fast forays for all practical purposes put the Denny Stadium struggle out of doubt but the Christians tacked on a third touchdown for good measure in the initial moments of the final quarter Halfback Jim (Swanky) Swink who went into this event as co-leader in national scoring and second in individual rushing among the country's collegiate backs counted all three TCU touchdowns on runs this order of 65 yards at 1:55 of the third three yards at 5:10 of the third and 10 yards at 5:05 of the fourth The Rusk rambler thus hiked his point total to 62 in a quartet of quarrels with top-flight opposition He finished this intersectional tilt with 139 yards on 18 carries an average of 76 and now has a total of 484 yards on 54 carries for a 90 yard average This day too the Frogs had a potent two-pronged threat at the halfback berths because Ray Taylor sprang from the right side to net 88 yards on 17 carries ei 4Z 44: u66atpcs4N: a It v-a 1 e41 mi 44114-in N11A 44 tr-440" 4 4 4 4rmaiiitto 4014 4 Ot11t4166e 401'1(11

of frenzy in the conference opener a week ago against Arkansas It was impossible for Coach Abe Martin to create a steam-up for this one against the Alabama team which had lost to Rice and Vanderbilt And so the Frogs were flat on irming everybodys worst that first half Alabama had the incentive first home game coaching debut of the university's first alumnus (Ears) Whitworth To emphasize the fact that he wants only hard-working producing men on his new-deal squad Whitworth suited out only 32 men He said that small-squad theory is one he learned from the TCU athletic director (Dutch) Meyer Those 32 men came to play They fought off the Frogs at every turn while yielding yardgge in mid-field But near the "ide didn't give Tim gs' defensive line remained up to standard through out that worrisome f'im half But on offense the Pdrples weren't hitting with quite the quickness or sharpness they needed It showed in the slow move out of the huddle Once TCU was penalized for delay Once in midfield in the second quarter the Frogs had a sweep set up for Swink He took off behind what appeared to be a half-dozen blockers set to convoy him down the right sideline But a Frog blocker missed
