The University Of Texas great gol-
cen juggernaut, crashed down an
other football playhouse today as 1t
swept headlong. u~nswervingly to-
ward its goal, the Southwest con-
ference title.
Texas Christian University's re-
cord Of not having been beaten in
two years, was snapped Is the Long
horns, ponderous and slow to arouse,
gathered themselves in the second
half and swept TO a 7 TO 0 victory
before some 10000 spectators. Com
pletely outplayed for the first half,
the mighty Steers came back in the
third and fourth quarters to defeat
the defending champions IN con-
vincing manner.
Today's victory was the third Tor
the Longhorns in as many weeks
over a major conference opponent.
Although the setback did not nee
essarily knock the Texas Christian
eleven out OF a second straight title,
il promised to cramp their style.
They faced the prospect of having
to defeat both Baylor and Southern
Methodist University to repeat.
Koy Starts II
Ernie Koy. husky sophomore half
back, started the Longhorns on their
75-yard victory march midway of
the third period, when he piled
around his left end for % yards
and planted the ball on the Horned
Frogs 36-yard line. Two passes to
Peterson, lanky end, carried TO the
siX-yard mark Just as the third per-
iod ended and in the opening play
OF the final period. Harrison Stat
ford. another sophomore brilliant,
s:fted off tackle and over the Chris
tian goal line for the winning touch
down. OK" Blanton kicked the
extra point, but IL was not needed.
The Texas Christian eleven that
had performed SO well during the
first half, thrice threatening the
Longhorn goal. seemed exhausted
from its efforts after the rest period
and could not hold its own when the
Steers applied the power. In the
final minutes Of play the Longhorns
threatened 10 score repeatedly. time
ard again going deep in their op-
ponent's territory and the closing
gun found the ball on the Christians
f%ive-yard mark. Craig. reserve Tex
sS halfback. was running the Frogs
ragged toward the end.
Leland Out
Cy Leland. speed boy OF the cham
p.ons' backfield and the games in
dividual threat. left the game in the
second quarter after a series Of hard
bumps had made him groggy. Al
though he played good football,
making several fine punt returns
ard slicing off tackle for some nice
ysrdage, the illustrious Cy was not
able to get loose for any touchdown
jaunts as he did against Texas a
year ago.
There were. as usual. no bright
particular tsSarS on the winning
eleven. II was the same machine

played cautiously for a half. content
TO let its opponent set the pace and
c itself down. Then. when the
time came, the Orange brigade threw
III the pressure and went places.
Koy, Stafford. Elkins and Shelley
were the same rampaging quartet,
passing and running with devastat-
irg effect. and the Longhorn line
had its accustomed power. That was
enough to stop the Frogs, hard as
they fought.
A summary Of first downs gives
an accurate picture Of the way the
battle went. At the half the Frogs

Steers Wait
The Longhorns did not complete
a pass during the first half. During
the second. they completed five,
all but one for long gains. The
winners gained scarcely at all dur
ing the first thirty minutes OF play.
but at the close they had piled up
$50 yards from scrimmage, against
240 for the horned Frogs.
Practically the entire first half
was played in Texas territory. once
the Frogs. employing a short pass
ing attack. penetrated as far as
the Longhorn se~ven-yard line but
Leland didn't gain a foot in two
thrusts from there and the ball
was passed over the goal line on
fourth down. Again they got for as
