dangerous. fell before the willy
Southern Methodist University Mus
tangs at Fair Park Stadium here to-
day 80 to 9 in a gridiron battle
that will long be remembered BY
10000 spectators.
The powerful Missourians were
shown a new brand of defense, a
nearly perfect aerial attack, and
ground gaining runs. The Mus
tang line which had been considered
weak. upset the dope and baked the
Tigers line rushes. The fleet Pony
backs and ends time and again
wrecked Missouri's attempts at
triple and long pass.
In most quarters il had been
thought that the Missourians had
the edge on the 1926 southwest con
ference champions, who had tied the
Tigers at Columbia z and z last year.
Under the guidance Of Quarterback
Mann, the Ponies ripped through the
Tiger line and completed pass after
pass. through the combinations of
Mann and Dawson, and Mann and
Hume.
Flamank, the touted Tiger quarter,
fell before the Mustangs defense
against air raids. His long psases,
sometimes nearly fifty yards, were
knocked down or incompleted with
the exception Of a few. Missouri's
touchdown came in che second guar
ter after the only successful air at
tack they staged.

down. Mascholff kicked goal. The
safety came after Missouri had
fumbled on the Mustangs two-yard
line, and the Mustang center made a
bad pass TO Hume, who had intended
to punt. Dawson of the Mustangs
was the outstanding player Of the
game.

tional forward passing. several bril-
liant end runs, and hard tackling be-

quarter. Baylor scored her touch
down as n result Of line plunges BY
Reyes and off-tackle slashes featur-
ing Washam, who played q highly
consistent game all the way. Washam
carried the oval across the line with

work in the broken field and Hanna's
defensive work were the high lights
of the Centenary victory.

AUSTIN. Tex, Oct. 22.-(PI-The
old Oak Cliff nigh school passing
combination Of Joe King and Dusty
Rhoades worked 70 perfection Satur-
day for Texas University and gave
IL the means Of its 81 to 0 victory
over the Rice Institute Owls of Hous-
ton.
This pair Of football stars from
Dallas completed six long passes
that gained more thar a hundred
yards and resulted in three touch
downs late in the game, doubly
cinching a victory already apparent
for Texas. The University had got
ten off to an early 7 to 0 lead with a
touchdown by Hughes from the Rice
one yard line.
The line of Rice turned out to be
the strength Of the team II held
the Longhorns for nearly two quar-
tiers and the anne might have been
far less satisfactory to Texas If the
Longhorns had not resorted TO the
air in the final period. Thrust after
thrust Of the Texas backs was smear
ed on the line OF scrimmage. Spud
Braden starred for Rice.
