He looked like a kid dressed up for Halloween with i puUy nose.

It was the worst defeat Houston ever has suffered in its eight years of football, and Jones was the boy who made the game into a shambles with three touchdown passes, two runs for touchdowns and passes that set up two more.

All told the boy w-ho stepped into the quarterback job the starters go and spelled Billy Hooper after the senior went out with an injury, threw 10 passes and completed five for a tremendous 141 yards.

Cravens, Joe Bob Smith. Conversion, Bloom. By BO BYERS AUSTIN, Sept. 18 (J) Texas Longhorns put on three powerful drives to score in all but the final quarter as they gained a revenge victory over Louisiana State here today, 20-6. Texas surged 80 62, and 92 yards for its touchdowns.

Quarterback Charley Brewer, the lad who sparked Texas to a Southwest Conference co-championship as a sophomore last year, proved still got the gambling spirit and the know how to make his gambles work for Texas, number four in the Associated Press Poll. He kept the scoring march moving with cagey play selections on fourth down on two occasions and opened the scoring with a sneaker from inside the one. The number one Texas team covered all but the last eight yards of its second drive. Then the number two unit came in, and fullback Don Maroney slanted off left end for a touchdown on the first play of the second period. A revamped LSU backfieid slashed 81 yards in five plays to open the second half, substitute right half Vincent Gonzales going the final 44 to make it 14 to 6.

Fullback Tommy try for point was w'ide. Left half Delano Womack streaked around right end, shook off one tackier and sped 36 yards to score for Texas. The victory was sweet revenge for Texas, most of whose players were in Baton Rouge, a year ago W'hen the Tigers toppled Texas by almost the identical score, 20-7. A partisan Texas crowd of 36.000 sweltered cheerfully in a 93 degree temperature, roaring approval at the Longhorns bruising display of offensive and defensive power. The game had been billed as a contest that would test the All- America potential of three tackles, Sid Fournet of LSU and Herb Gray and Buck Lansford of Texas.

Fournet got little chance to show his blocking prowess as LSU ran the ball only 31 times. Controlling the ball with 66 rushing pays as it stuck to the ground most of the time Texas demonstrated it has a powerful, well balanced line that may make it hard to pick individual stars.
