Texas Techs Red Raiders remained

Wake Forest threatened almost

Wake Forest struck in the first
period, after recovering a fumbled
punt on the Raider 25 yard line.
Tony Gallovich broke through to the

Midway in the second period, Tom

On the way out Wilbur caught a

AS soon as we reached the light

to land it a big shark came along
and gobbled up the prize and took
everything. In one hour we caught
one 36-pound, 43 1-2-inch amber

mullet, flying fish and innumer-

that attract game fish. Close by
there are ponds and rivers full of
big black bass. Fox hunts are held
weekly. Quail and deer abound
with lots of waterfowl of all kinds
to attract the gunner. To top off
everything, they catch fish twelve

almost frost-free.
Our perfect host was William B.

The team that Clark Shaughnes.

of nothing less than a tie for the
title. One game remains to be
played, against California.
With six conference wins to its
credit, Stanford can do no worse

The score was tied, ~ as they
came out for the third period. With
a period of nine minutes, Shaugh-

crashed over with r e touch
downs and a margin that made
most of the 5000 fans roofing for
them relax in relief.
Cheers filled the air as the In
dians smashed SO yards to break
the deadlock; pounded 33 yards
after recovering a tumble then hit
the turf on a 81 yard thrust after
an intercepted pass.
Oregon State outscored but still
full of fight, came back in the last
quarter to capitalize on a Stanford
tumble and move 10 yards for a
touchdown. For a short time there
after, the Northerners were still
in the running. They passed and
smashed 70 yards to Stanford's H.
yard marker, then lost the oval on
an intercepted pass.
Stanford scored on the first Sc

a march of its own to travel So

The tricky little field general,
aside from calling the plays and
handling his share of duties on de.

of amazement from the crowd. He
kicked for an average Of SEE

In addition he bobbed up to in
tercept several passes at crucial
moments, passed to right halfback
Hugh Gallarneau for the r d

Paul Grady Of Kenly, who has run
for lieutenant governor and utili-

One reason for the large field
is that Governor Hoey has let it

neutral during the campaign, an6
will take no part unless his ad-
ministration is attacked. Thus, no
candidate will necessarily have to
buck administration opposition.
