victory over Tech before 76639 applauding onlookers the biggest crowd ever to see Texas operate in Austin Wigginton did all that was asked of him of course but he had help Tech threw four interceptions lost a critical fumble shanked a punt 20 yards and the Longhorns turned four of those errors into 28 points The game in fact was a sideshow of new quarterbacks Down 14-0 in the third quarter Tech coach Jim Carlen relieved senior Charley "Napper with sophomore Jimmy Carmichael JIMMY MUST have thought he had wandered into a fraternity hazing by mistake He threw four interceptions within 15 minutes and was blitzed branded and tied by the rushing Texas ends 1 H-: 4m4rsiwzo02t- Zal Photo bv RON HEFLIN NEW TEXAS Wigginton leaps over the outstretched run Saturday Wigginton

52- yard return of a fumble and the Huskies' final-second field goal came after Fred Marshall fumbled a punt snap at the Frog 17 But TCU's first quarter score wasn't a run-of-the-mill thing itself Leading 7-0 Washington threatened again after Bill Cahilrs 57-yard punt runback got them to the Frog 7 On third down from the 5 Sixkiller aimed a pass at Jim Krieg going wide Lyle Blackwood stepped in front at the one and picked it off sloshing 83 yards down the wet field to the Huskies 16 Bobby Davis carried twice to the 7 and Larry Harris got the first down at the 4 Two plays later Harris went

Saturday against Missouri but even Wilbur and Orville couldn't have given the Mustangs enough power to get off the ground The pulleybone pilots crashed 24-12 before 49200 Memorial stadium spectators

Eddie cartwheeled 11 yards for a touchdown three minutes deep in the second period and the Horns were on their way to a 21st consecutive conference triumph The Longhorns were by no means comfortable at halftime with a mere 7-0 ley! But they pounced on a fumble and scored in the first minute of the third quarter then stopped Tech at the eight later in that period and the issue was no longer in doubt Wigginton took the Longhorns 65 yards on the opening series of the game but threw away a pitch on the 10th play at the Red Raider 26 That was the Steers' most ambitious drive of the afternoon They could wait for the breaks and the Raiders showered fortune as if they were rich uncles By DICK MOORE Star-Telegram Sports Writer LINCOLN Neb In a pregame ceremony Nebraska's 188-member band formed an outline of this Cornhusker State with a big No 1 inside here this overcast Saturday afternoon Nebraska certainly didn't GAME AT A GLANCE tarnish its top-ranking image AIM NEBRASKA any as the Cornhuskers stung 783 yard8FiGrsatinDeodwRnussnin 21 Texas with electrifying 17 Yards Gained Passing91 213794 touchdowns of 67 98 32 and 3 of 0 Passes Completed 15 of 27 95 yards in burying the Aggies 1 Passes Intercepted by 2 10 for 41 Punts No Avg 7 for 36 34-7 2 Fumbles Lost 3 Little Hugh McElroy saved Yards Penalized 58 the Aggies from a second straight shutout by running ny Rodgers delivered the kill-under the kickoff after Ne- ing blow He took the second braska's last touchdown and half kickoff and dashed scurrying 94 yards hurdling yards for a touchdown The one defensive man en route to throng of 20th score and give the humiliated straight sellout crowd in thi5 Aggies something to jump around in about sea of red clothes ny Rodgers delivered the killing blow He took the second half kickoff and dashed 98 yards for a touchdown The throng of 20th straight sellout crowd in this around in a sea of red clothes lb COLOR ADO upended Ohio State 20-14 NevOWWft TWO OF the gainful strides belonged to halfback Alvin Maxson who pumped his way in from two yards out after Missouri had run up a 10- point lead on John Kelsey's Turn to Mustangs on Page 5 The Big Red was safely on its way to its 12th straight victory and its 22nd without was tied by Southern California last year Porkers Shocked By Tulsa THE LONGHORNS twice traveled 16 yards for touchdowns went 47 yards for an Turn to Cornhuskers on Page 3 Turn to Miscues on Page 4 4 I3aylor Spanks Hoosiers 10-0 1 '-4' i It ir'Ci4 v44 'f '1I'llt zfy54k06 1: 4: :4::::: ::11: 1 '4f I' 1 :1: 6:::: Ai: :::4: l' 4' 11 ''''tk 5' 7 4::: f3- i le A lig -71 6'xk' 1 i tf 10 4 4 'I 4 lit -7 I to 4: f- iff i ::::::::1:1:4::::::::: it --3: -1 r-j0 Ii''-t'1 IF :77 (16 Jr 6-i' i-e il: N''''r '0 't i i1it7- "'-4-- -A-A i- Y-'!
