DALLAS, Texas, Jan, 2.-One OF
the biggest upsets OF tho football
season occurred here today when
Centre college, conaueror OF Har-
ward and rated as tho champion OF
the south, went down before Texas
A. T. VI. college, the battling repre-
gentativcs of the southwestern con-
ference. The score was 22 to IA
and truly reflects the closeness and
fierceness OF the contest.
Taking the lead within the first
three minutes OF play when Bartlett
OF Centre was downed behind his
own goal line by Wilson OF the AS
giles, thus counting safety, the
Texans generally predicted TO lose
by al least 90 points, battled every
minute Of the four strenuous pc
RODS and at times displayed a drive
and determination that literally
swept the Colonies off their feet.
They presented "a defense that was
well night impregnabie, while on
the the offensc they uncovered
series OF tricky and versatile at
tacks that put the Centre men com
pletcly at sea. Even seasoned play
ers like "Bo" McMillin and Red"
Roberts we're Mt times mystified by
the Aggic offense This was espe-
cially notable in view of a. q NJ
generally heralded aggressive weak
ness.
Texans Win in Third.

with e line buck by Snoddy, scored
their first touchdown. Roberts

progress against their heavier op-
pononts: but shortly after the KICK

touchdown. McMillin, substituting
for Morris, kicked goal, making the
score . to 7 In favor of the Texans.
From then on A. & NJ. held the ad-
vantage, turning back the Colonels

to while on the otfense they con-
| tinued to hammer away at the sur
! prised Kentuckans. In the third

The Colonels exhibited their las
flicker OF offensive strength in tn
closing minutes of play when a nea
double forward pass. Mcmlllln y
Covington to Snoddy, followed b
