that whipped az their DackS pro-
vided Southern Methodtst's Mus
tanrs with a startling 1870 victory
over a bewildered band of Texas
Christian Horned Frogs here Satur-
day.
The MethodistS struck unerring-
Iv IN the first four minutes TO rush
across two touchdowns and then
waited for the wind advantage
again to whip across with the
third marker in the final period.
The decisive victory smashed the
SIX year ink held over the MUS
tangs by their ancient foes n n
abled them 10 land in third posi-
tion at the close Of wild Southwest
Conference season.
MaRnificently Whitley" Baccus,
great senior halfback. led the charge
that made 5000 spectators forget
hcy winds. He passed the ball TO the
l5-vard line in the first two min
utes Of play and then knitted his
way around left end for the first
touchdown.
Second Marker
Barely two minutes later Jack
rabbit" Smith, slippery halfback,
contributed the second touchdown
with q weaving 43-yard sprint that
saw at least seven Christian play
ers attempt 10 halt him. Shuford
plunged across from the one-yaro
line for the final marker. But there
were al least three other times that
the Methodists slashed down with
in easy scoring distance, only 70
find a battling Christian line, led
BY the crippled Darrell Lester, cen
ter. ready to shove them back.
Twenty-six times the Christians,
uslng their bullet passer, Sammie
Baueh, attempted TO march down
the field through the air, but only
six heaves found receivers tor a
total gain of "a yards. Ana these
gains came either in midiield OF
their own territory.
The MethodistS' smashing backs
gathered in a total Of 276 yards
from scrimmage plays while Horned
Frogs backs registered only 50. ~
was 20 for Southern Methodist and
u for the Christians IN first
downs.
The ace backs Of both clubs, lit
tie Robert Wilson, fleet Mustang
halfback, and Jimmy Lawrence,
ripping Frog ground gamer, did not
play. Wilson was forced out with
Injuries while Lawrence penalized
himself for q display Of temper
when he struck an official after the
Rice game last week by watching
the slaughter from the sidelineS.
Wind Aids Ponies
The stiff wind played a big part
\ m the Mustang victory. Baccus
took the opening kickoff and charg-
ed back to the Mustang 4l-yard
line. The first break came when
Smith kicked a high spiral that
Captain Fuqua, playing his first
game since the Fordham engage
ment five weeks ago, killed on the
Frog vineyard stripe. Roach punt
Cd out poorly and the Mustangs
scored from the Christian 22-yard
line ON an s-ysrd pass, Baccus TO
Fuqua and a 14-yard dash around
end by BaccuS. orr failed TO add
the point.
II was the same story again on
the second touchdown, Roach kick
ing badly into the wind to give the
Mustangs the ball on the Christian
43-yard stripe. "Jackrabbit" Smith
tucked the ball under his arm on
the first play, started to the right,
lodged back to the left and twist
ed through the Christian line and
secondary for a touchdown behind
Harry Shuford's perfect blocking.
Tie third touchdown came 500
after Scottino, Mustang guard, in
tercepted a Christian pass on the
Frog 45-line. Smith booted out Of
bounds on the 3-yard line and
Laughl1n. substitute guard, snatch
Cd a Frog tumble on their first run
ming attempt on the 15-yard line.
Baccns dived through tackle for
five. The Christians were penal
tged five yards for offside ard Shu-
ford belted through center for the
touchdown. Orr converted.
stars Of the Game
Once the Christians charged down
TO the Mustang il-yard stripe on
passes from Baugh to Walls and
q Mustang penalty, but the aerial
attack begged down and the ball
changed hands. Baugh kicked and
passed beautifully, twice getting off
quick kicks that travelled 30 yards.
Roach, end, and the towering Les
ter, played jam-up defensive games.
To Baccus. Smith, Gore, Shuford
and Sprague went poSieS for a
crashing Methodist offensive, while
Carter, Orr, Capt. Fuqua and Scot
tino played bruising Lire games.
