BAYLOR

AUSTIN. Nov. 7-Baylor's battling
Bears failed TO hold 80 advantage
gained in the first half over the Texas
LonghornS Saturday and were bat
tered TO defeat, Is to 3, ON the slop-
picst kind of football field.
The breaks of the game, which went
steadily against Texas in the first
half. drive after drive being halted
within sight of the goals when
fumbles were recovered by Baylor,
changed and went to the Steers III
the second half. $500
Four times Texas fumbled within
the Bear 30-yard line in the first
half and Baylor players bounced each
time upon the slippery oval.
1t was a Baylor tumble. however,
which gave the Steers their first
touchdown to decide the game.
Rufus King hammered the Bear
line sensationally, splattering mud as
he went. In the third quarter, with
only a three-yard gain by Saxon to
help. he drove through ten straight
times for Il total gain of % yards
failing finally Il foot from goal to
make the TOUCHDOWN.
JONES ABSENCE HURTS
The absence of Jones from the
BAYLOR backfield for more than hail
the game proved costly to the Bruins.
The Bear fullback was at all times Il
terror on defense. With Jones IN the
lineup neither King nor Stallter nor
Fred Thompson could make long
gains through the line, but with
Jones out these hank ground gamers
rammed the forward wall at Will.
Mud. mud. and more mud was per-
hans the chief feature of the game. n
weeks rain left the Texas ground
ankle deep in Il black oozc. Five nm
utcs after the game started every
PLAYER was as slippery rs an eel. Inc
bali had to be wiped off after every
play, and forward passes and punts
became erratic and causes of grief.

pared for Texas. never got chance

but it was still anybody's game untl
well into the second quarter.
11-yARD GOAL.
The trouble started when Stallte

Riley recovered. Three tries ut gain

chance, and she took it.
Jones, kept on the side-lines be

goal. But with Strickland holdin
the ball on the 42-yard line Jone
did the impossible. A perfect kic
carried the ball squarely between tn
Texas goal posts, and Baylor took tn
lead, 80.
