Christian's young quarterback Dan Car te missed an open receiver on the very first play Saturday afternoon and that seemed to be the old ball game for the Frogs After that things went from bad to worse to tragic as the Purples were pinned to the deck by their own offensive ineffectiveness and Nebraska's capable Cornhuskers From the coin flip until the bitter end the visitors were in complete

121i-POINT favorite at the kickoff Nebraska hung up two quick scores in the first period added a field goal at the end of the half and then strangled the Frogs with two second half bombs One of Amon Carter Stadium's smallest crowds in recent seasons a wind-blown 16656 sat in spacious comfort under a bright sky But it was a very dismal afternoon for the Frog partisans Carter a sophomore had no success moving the winless Christians in the first half and senior Shabay had no better luck in the second half as the Frogs failed to cross their home's touchdown stripe for the seventh consecutive

in the first period and it was but 19-6 going into the fourth After that the Longhorn manpower wore the scrapping Owls into submission Royal sent a number into the fray who had not played previously this season T4M'1 By BILL VAN FLEET Star-Telegram Sports Editor AUSTIN The Rice Owls set up a defense to stop the rushing tactics of Bill Bradley and Chris Gilbert and dared Bradley to pass he Texas junior quarterback did pass for more yardage than any other Texas team under Darrell Royal had made in a single game and the Longhorns wound up swamping the Owls 28-6 in a swirling contest at Memorial Stadium Saturday night Bradley passed for one touchdown and set up the other three with long tosses against the close drawn de He completed 12 of 17 for 215 yards and four of the five incompletions were more the fault of the receivers than the thrower I THE HIGHEST previous passing total of any Texas team under Royal was 208 yards against Texas in 1964 1 James Street who until Saturday night had been expected to sit out this year came in to play the last part of the game and he completed two more to give Texas 14 completions for 238 yards While the aerial show was going on the Longhorns' Gilbert managed to get in his rushing licks often enough to pick up 76 yards enough to push him past the mile mark with a career total of 1776 yards Bradley passed for one touchdown a 36-yarder to Ragan Gennusa and ran for two others going nine yards for one and a short step for the other The score would indicate a Texas runaway but it was by 49' TOP 1 :31 NIkoit4 011 f'kei 41'''-: 'V RICE RAN up 23 first downs and punted only once on the windy mild night Texas had 19 first downs but had a slim edge in passing 238 to 237 and in rushing 127 to 59 A tipoff on the wild night came on the first two possessions Texas marched 73 yards on 15 plays to score after the initial kickoff and Rice came right back to move 66 yards and tie it up at 6-6 with Rob Layne of Texas and Frank Pustka both missing extra point kicks Texas marched again on its next possession going 71 yards in seven plays but Rice fell afoul of the first of five interceptions when it tried to keep up the touchdown for touchdown pace and never was able to score again Texas moved 49 yards for another TD in the third and moved 53 yards in three plays for the final touchdown in the fourth -A iaestr4 Leinert-Led TT Raps SMU 21-7 THEY WERE awarded 18 possessions but were jammed behind their own 30-yard line on 13 of them Only twice did the Frogs pierce Nebraska's territory on a 33-yard pass by Shabay in the third quarter and on a fumble recovery in the fourth They didn't get so much as a first down out of either opportunity however The Frogs had a total offense of 115 yards and four first downs compared to the dominating Cornhuskers' 377 yards and 20 first downs TCU's defensive line hit the only successful licks for the home forces Nebraska hooked up for only one drive and that ended in the field goal Three of the Cornhuskers' touchdowns should be marked against TCU's offense They scored after a fumble in the first period an interception in the second period and then ran back another interception 39 yards for a touchdown in the third period THE FOURTH and final indignity was a 46-yard pass play with 10 seconds left in the game Linebackers James Vanderslice and Pat Walker safety Ted Fay and guard Larry Adams turned in notable performances for the Frogs' dogged delensemen Vanderslice and Walker were each credited with nine unassisted tackles Adams was marked for six unassisted stops and nine unassisted saves Beyond that TCU was shut out literally There was but 512 minutes gone when fullback Ken Post dropped a fumble into Mike Wynn's lap at the TCU 19 and a minute later NrJwaska was in front 7-0 On third down from the TCU five quarterback Frank Patrick a 6-foot-7 210-pounder with a whippy arm shot a scoring pass into the arms of end Dennis Richnafsky who was lolling two steps in front of the back end zone line Bill Bomberger kicked the point LESS THAN a minute later Carter's third pass of the game was stolen by troublesome linebacker Ken Geddes at the TCU 28 and he handed over possession to his offensive teammates at the 21 Patrick wasted no time He stepped straight back and zinged a pass down the middle to fullback Dick Davis Turn to Frogs' on Page 4 77' 41 a

zone ended the scoring although both the Texas reserves and the Owls threatened in the latter stages of the game Four of the Texas interceptions were made off the starting quarterback Robert Halley who often was forced to throw under great pressure from Wainscott Jimmy Williamson and other Texas linemen Ronny Ehrig grabbed two of them Mack McKinney two and Tom Campbell son of the assistant Texas coach grabbed the last one which was a toss by Pledfort The thefts gave Texas a record of 10 interceptions in two weeks for they grabbed five against Arkansas last week When he wasn't being intercepted Halley was completing 22 out of 31 throws for 228 yards Aggies fo'vri over ears How Top 10 Teams Fared Here's how the nation's top 10 college teams fared in weekend play: GAME AT A GLANCE
