CARROLL FIELD, WACO, Tex.
Nov. 8.-P1-Held for a half by a
desperately fighting Baylor eleven,
the University OF Texas LonghornS
had enough power and polish to
come back in the third and fourth
periods TO score two touohdownS
and win their important Southwest
Conference melee here today, IA 20
O.
For the first half the big orange
and white eleven failed TO show its
potency of the previous week. when
ID crushed Southern Methodist Uni
versity under an avalanche of
touchdowns. but in the second half
it was unbeatable. Had it not been
for the splendid kicking of Little
Jake Wilson. Baylor quarterback.
the Steers probably would have
piled up a larger score.
The Orange struck first midway
Of the third period. when Koy shot
a short. ~underhand pass to Stat
ford. big sophomore halfback. who
tore through the Baylor secondary
behind clocklike blocking and
sprinted SO yards for a touchdown.
Blanton kicked the point.
Game Iced
They iced the game late in the
final period when a substitute
backfield featuring Clewis and
Craig. marched half the length Of
the field for a touchdown through
the tired Baylor line. A series of
plunges by Clewis and Craig car
ried to the 30-yard mark. and
Craig then slipped off tackle and
raced to the Bruins o%ne-yard line
before he was hauled down. Clewis
slipped over for the score. stand
ing up. and Perkins made good the
extra point.
The closing gun probably robbed
the Orange Of another score. When
il banged. the ball was reposing on
Baylor's five-vard mark. the result
of a pass from Perkins to Craig.
who ran and fought his way Is
yards.
Although the first downs we're III
for Texas and eight for Baylor. they
did not accurately gauge the Of
fensive strength Of the two teams.
The Longhorns were aggressOrs all
the way, gaining in almost any
fashion except when they attempt
ed Ia pierce the center Of Baylor's
big line. There they were stopped
by PradeauX. Koch, Morris and
Witcher. Five of Baylor'S first
downs resulted from passes, two
from penalties and M on a run
ming play. Except for several spec
tacular puntS and kickoff returns
by Wilson and short gains by Lew
ter. the Bruins exhibited little run
ming strength.

Possibly the outstanding star in
the Longhorn constellation was

however. ran him a close second
for honors. The big sophomore fast
is proving himself n of the south
west outstanding backs.
Both teams played cautiously dur
ing the first period. taking no
chances and punting on second and
third downs. with Wilson having
the advantage of Shelley in the
length and loft Of his spirals. The
Longhorns were on the offensive
most Of the period. doing their best

Early in the second period the
Longhorns made the first scoring
threat Of the tuSsle when Koy shot
a series Of passes to Stafford that
carried from midfield to Baylor's
i6-yard stripe. Here the Bruin for
wards braced, however, and despite
a five-yard offside penalty assessed
them, stopped the Steer assault on
the eight-yard line

Before the half ended Baylor had
come back 10 march almost the
distance OF the field. and throw .
into the Longhorn camp, with
Harris and Pierce taking long
heaveS from Afford. the Baptists
penetrated clear TO Texas l7-yard
parallel before Shelley broke up the
drive by lntercepting n of Affords
pegs and running II out. The Bears
barely missed scoring a touchdown
when Wilson running hard a few
yards from the goal line let a pass
trickle through his hands.
After the Longhorns had struck
so suddenly in the third quarter.
the Bruins opened up with a pass
ing attack that once carried them
far into Texas territory, but they
could eve make them click when
