Captain Rufus Kings eight-ineh
smash for n Texas touchdown early
In the second quarter here today
was only ore of the many things
that transpired in the annual clash
between the Texas Loughorns and
! Texas Christian University, but for
tune so destined IL that the play
sent Texas into the southwest con-
ference leadership.
The dive across the goal line by
the Texas fullback provided a 8 TO
0 victory over the Frogs and enabled
the Littlefield coached team TO re-
place Southern Methodist University,
victims Of an upset by Baylor that
shook the Texas football world TO
Its foundations, as pace-setters.
Hugh's try for goal sailed square
ly oyer the uprights, but the orange
line was offside and the extra point
did not count. Failure Of the dimin-
utive Grubbs, Christian quarterback,
20 find his fleet targets time after
sime during tn contest caused the
T. c. u. offense to sputter and II
nally 10 function only at intrequent
intervals after the team had swept
Texas off its feet with a drive OF
juggernaut proportions early IN the
game.
Frog Rush Halted
Starting on their 80 yard line the
Hell men unlcashed an offensive
shortly after the kickoff that car
ried the bali II yards from the
Lonrhorn goal in a swift succession
Of line smashes by Grubbs and lol-
err. Here the Steers braced and the
hall went over on downs.
In the second quarter the Frogs
seemed headed somewhere when
Perkins plucked one OF Grubbs
losses and again the vanquished
team saw an opportunity slip by
when Griffith fumbled ard Cowley
recovered in the third quarter. ~. =.
II. had invaded Texas territory az
this iuncture after Toler had shared
n mas and Grubbs had rushed the
ball to the 30-yard stripe.
There we're other Disappointing
moments when Miscues turned Inc
tide against the Frogs and removed
them as conference championship
possibilities. Perkins punted poor
ly in the third quarter, the BAH go
ing out Of bounds on the Frog -
yard line. Robertson made 10 yarus
after receiving a pass from otupos
and the same players inquired ~ an
eight yard gain or the next play,
placing the ball on Texas 81 yAfd
line. A bad pass from Atkins SAL
ed over Grubbs' head and when the
Frog field general recovered the pan
he had lost 20 yards.
Closing Run Thrills
Texas overhead defense was too
much in the late stages o. me game
when Grubbs started a desperate
scoring drive through the air. Brown
Intercepted one pass and Beatty
caught another.
A final play which the Frogs were
allowed to make when Perkins punl
rolled out of bounds q split second
before the final gun sounded galneu
40 wards when Walker leaned into
the air amid a swarm II tacklers
and caught the oval. With a pos
sible victory depending on his cross
ing the goal forty yards distant
walker attempted 70 evade Texas
hacks who diyed At him. but he Wa
Wrought down and the game was
over.
Kings touchdown came after
hughes had dashed around end %
tho one ward line and was made att
or two thrusts at the Christian line
had been stopped without gam
