Peasant Grove, running at full hrottle, needed only 25 plays to chalk up its five touchdowns in he opening half. The sixth one cost the Bobcats eight plays. Gates, in scoring three times, ran his district scoring lead to 90 points. The scoring, in capsule order, went like this; (1) Norton grabbed opening kickoff and made a beautiful 85- vard return for touchdown and 60 lead. (2) Bobcats drove 67 yards In 12 jlays, with Gates storming over from the 12 to tie it up at 6-6.

(3) Gates intercepted Jerry Eledge's pass, returned it to the Brownwood .10, and then Anderton passed to Hopkins for the TD and 12-6 lead. A Lion pitchout was bobbled on the Brownwood 45, and Gates promptly broke loose for his 55- yard romp (19-6). (5) Gates again ran 42 yards following punt exchange to imax 6- play, 74-yard drive (25-6).

(10) Olen Franks scooted yards to end 21-yard drive In seven plays (37-25). (11) Hendrix Wheeler caught 41- yard scoring pass from Elledge on fourth down. Playing a major offensive role along with Elledge and Franks was James Ellis, the Lion wingback. He not only scampered through the line on several reverse plays but he also provided an excellent target for many of Elledge's and Chastain's passes, one of which accounted for 18 yards and another for about 35 that sparked the scoring fuse for Brownwood's third touchdown. But it was the Elledre-to- Wheeler pass late IB the final period that brought on some of the best "won't be denied" action.

Wheeler, ronntor like the wind on fourth down and with the Lions needing- some three yards for a first-and-10, speared Elledge's throw near the 10, where Bobcats of all sorts were awaiting kirn. Somehow Wheeler managed smash through their blockade, shake off tacklers, and all but drag others across the goal with him.

The same song, same verse may be sung about Norton, the Lion star who has made a habit this year of gumming up things for the opposition.

The all-around handyman plays any position you put him although Coach Roland Warren has yet to try him at guard or tackle. Ben broke the game wide open by picking up the opening kickoff hobbling it arround for what seemed to be 15 and zoomed to the goal 85 yards away. Franks missed the try for point. It was Norton again who got loose on a thrilling 52-yard punt return in the fourth chapter to plant the ball on the Bobcat 21, from which point the Lions moved over the goal in seven plays with Franks doing the toting. Brcwnwood gave some indication of its last-half ground-aerial power just a few moments before finishing up the second quarter of play.

The Lion defense came to, life too, in the third period by holding the Bobcats in their tracks for three downs and then catching the punter back on his 41 after a bad pass from center put him deep In a hole.

were favored to repeat in the throne room this yeah the Tigers, undefeated In circuit play and owner of a nifty 7-1 record for the season, never gave the vaunted Melvln offense a chance to get rolling. A vicious line, headed by Center Chester Stanley, kept the Bulldog attack bottled up and turned in some efficient, crisp blocking to pave th? way for the Tiger backs. Sammy Haddon and John Wade were the luminaries who shone brightest in the backfield for the winners, who must now tussle with Richland Springs for the loop diadem. After a preliminary exchange of punts, the two rugged foes settled down to the serious business of the crucial contest. The Bulldogs settled down the quickest, getting started on a drive which moved to the Blanket 13 before the Tiger defense dug into the slippery turf to wrest the oval away on downs.

With that success as a spur, the Tigers drove 8S yards In quick, authoritative thrusts for the first touchdown of the game. Wade scored it on a perfect piece of maneuvering which netted 15 yards. Haddon plunged for the extra point to give the Tigers a 7-0 bulge. The Bulldogs, after taking the resulting kickoff, couldn't move past the inspired Blanket defense and were forced to punt. A flying Melvin lad latched onto a Wade aerial a few plays later and stepped to the Tiger one before finally being dropped.

Melvin scored on the next play when Moore catapulted into the end zone. The conversion attempt failed, leaving the score 7-6. It remained that way until intermission. Early in the third stanza, the Tigers took possession of the pig- hide Via a Melvin punt, and drove for the clinching tally. Haddon nailed the lid oh a past era of Melvin domination in the loop by exploding for the final nine yards.

The try for point was stopped, but the Tigers had 13-6 lead which held until the final gun. The final period was a fierce struggle, with neither team being able to grab the upper hand. The Tigers will take a well-deserved rest this week. ftttftkct Tirds tiost I for fhte; feore feutiket UelTln pnntl, NO. Penalties, fit.

IRISH DEFEAT AROUSED NAVY IN By FAYE LOW) BALTIMORE, Oct. Notre Dame scored a second period touchdown in the mud of Memorial Stadium Saturday and held on for a 6 to 0 victory over a Navy team that three times In the second half pushed near the Irish goal line, only to lose its chances for victory on an offside penalty, a fumble and a pass in- tercepibn. Sixty-thousands persons purchased every seat In the stadium, which hosted the 28th consecutive meeting between the two teams, longest series in intercollegiate football history. It was the largest crowd ever to see a football game in the stadium. The morning rain stopped by game time, but the sky remained overcast and the field was so muddy that officials changed footballs on almost every play.

Irish Start Strong' At the beginning of the game, it appeared that Notre Dame would thoroughly whip the Middies. The Irish threatened early in the first quarter, pushing 51 yards in 14 plays to the Navy 19-yard line. But the threat ended when quarterback Ralph Guglielmi's attempted pass to Paul Reynolds was incomplete and the Middies took over on downs on their own The next Notre Dame drive, 19. with a touchdown five plays later starting from the Irish 40, ended on a Guglielmi-to-Jim Morse pass. Morse caught the ball on the 19 and ran across the goal line after Navy defensemen Bob Craig and Dick Guest collided on the 10 to free Reynolds for the rest of the way.

Don Schaefer's conversion attempt was wide. Three times in the second half Navy quarterback George Welsh looked like he would run and pass the Middies to their first victory over Notre Dame in nine years. Navy Penetrates As the third quarter opened, Navy penetrated Notre Dame territory for the first time when Welsh passed to Ronnie Beagle for seven yards and then ran 18 more yards to the Notre Dame 38. The combination of Welsh runnig and passing to Beagle gave the Middies a first down on the Notre Dame 13, Welsh then ran to the seven for a first down with goal Mid-Air Fumble Grab Keeps Bears In SWC Title Chase By £0 FITfi FORT WORTH, Oct. 80 Deft Delbert Shofner plucked a wild fumble out of the air and scrampered 38 winning yards with it Saturday as Baylor nosed out Texas Christian 12 to 1 before 30,000 fans.

TCU blunted Baylor's heralded passing game, but couldn't put a halter on Shofner and his halfback running mate, L. G. Dupre, and Baylor cashed in its second Southwest Conference victory In three starts with second and third period touchdowns. TCU's sophomore fullback, Harold Pollard, who kicked a TCU's extra point, apparently hit a handoff with his knee as he plunged into the line and the ball sailed across the line of scrimmage chest high. Shofner wrapped his arms around it at full tilt and outraced two TCU denfers to the goal for the winning points.

Hooper Passing Dulled Billy Hooper, who had been Baylor's sparkplug wth his aerial fireworks up until Saturday, completed only two of 10 passes and had three of them intercepted, but he had the satisfaction of stepping the final yard for Baylor's opening touchdown. It came leSs than two minutes deep in the second quarter at the end of a nine-play, 53-yard drive sparked by Dupre and Shofner and just a few minutes before TCU drove 59 yards for a touchdown that substitute quarterback Chuck Curtis scored from one yard out. TCU's brace of centers Joe Williams and Hugh Pitts smashed through to block both of Baylor's extra point efforts, but it didn't matter in the long run. Good in Defense Two reserve Baylor linemen guard Dugan Pearace and end Tony De-Grazier were magnificent on defense, especially in the final quarter when TCU made its FORT WOfttti, tKt. of TCTJ-Bfcylot Ant ----Rushing Fusing Yardage Mtemped TCP BtfllH Passes completed Intercepted Pnfltn Punting Average Lest Turds Penalized 11 .130 It 14 1M 1ft i 441 0 it OU Pressed To Outlast 13-7 desperate bid to snatch the game out of the fire.

Texas Christian surged from Its 20 down to the Baylor 10, mainly on a 58-yard pass from Curtis to halfback Ray Taylor, but there they found Pearce and DeGrazier to much to handle and wound up a foot short of a first down.

But that bad break did not dis- turb the Middies, for a few minutes later Schaefer fumbled and Leonard Benzi recovered for Navy on the Notre Dame 14-yard line. Welsh passed to Beagle for eight yards and after Dick Guest carried for one, Welsh on a quarterback sneak went the Notre Dame one-foot line. Then he handed off to Craig who went over the goal line, but fumbled when he was hit by Guglielmi and the Notre Dame quarterback recovered the ball in the end zone. On the first play of the fourth period, Welsh passed to Jack Garrow for a first down on the Notre Dame 20, but Guglieland intercepted Welsh's next pass on the Irish 14. That turned out to be the end for Navy.

UCLA Jolts 27-6, To Remain Nation's Leader By HAL WOOD BERKELEY, Oct. Villanueva, a slow-motion change of pace artist, led the power-paced UCLA Bruins to heir seventh straight triumph Saturday as he scored two touchdowns and passed for a third in a 27-6 win over California. The great effort by Villanueva nullified another wonderful aerial performance by Cal's passing artist, Paul Larson. Larson completed 25 out of 38 passes for an amazing 280 yards terrific yardage fbr a team that scored' only six points. But all the credit had to go to Villanueva, who came hrough with what his own coaches called his "two greatest runs" of the season.

One was for 26 yards and a touchdown, the other for 40 to set up a score. Close at First Despite the lop-sided score of the game, it was a close battle for the first three quarers as the Bruins of UCLA held a 14-6 lead. California got a score in the second period and twice more in the first three quarters the Golden Bears had touchdown marches spoiled by lost fumbles once on the four and once on the 13.

Oklahoma scored the clincher late in the game when left halfback Tommy McDonald passed 39-yarda to righ halfback Bob Burris who was downed a half-yard from UM goal.

Quarterback Pat O'Neal bucked it over. Fumble Scoring Threat A crowd of 33,000 watched Oklahoma drive to the Colorado 32 and then to the two yard line in the first period, only to have blunt the scoring bids. The clock stopped a Sooner march at the one- yard line at he end of the first half. Colorado went 44 yards in Urn second period after Okalhoma lost the ball on a freak fourth down maneuver.
