By Lewis F. Atchison

Catholic University. trying for
a lucky 7, gave the pigskin dice
a roll and turned up snakes eyes
instead in losing a 81 decision to
Randolph Macon yesterday at
Brookland in a Mason-Dixon Con-
ference game.
A crowd of $500 predominantly
Catholic U. supporters saw the
Cardinals throw away the game
after taking a TO lead in the
first half while consistently OUT
playing the Yellow Jackets on the
ground. 1t was a disappointing
home debut for Coach Jan Jan
kowski and marked Gus second
consecutive defeat. The victory
ended Randolph Macon's four
game losing streak.
Less than two minutes of play
remained when the Cardinals re-
gained the ball on their own 20
yard line after an exchange of
kicks.
A 7-yard loss on an attempted
pass, followed by a holding pen
atty. but GU. back on its l-yard
line.
Steps Over Line.
1t was third down and 20 yards
to go when Quarterback Joe Dunn
called the ill-starred pass play
that brought about defeat. He
took the ball from center, danced
back to pick out a receiver. then
glanced at the ground to see one
foot plainly beyond the end line
an automatic safety and two
points for Randolph-Macon.
It was third down and 80 yards
to go for Randolph-Macon when
the Jackets spun the dazzling pass
play that enabled them to tie the
score earlier in the final period.
Ted Keller heaved the aerial to
Jack Wilson, who got behind Bill,
Heil to take the ball on the goal
line for an overall gain OF ~ yards
and six points.

lice Upses Southern Methodist Al IT. Before Record Crowd
Conference CHAMPS
Take Terrific BEATING
From Aroused Owls
By the Associated Press

DALLAS, Oct. Is. Southern
Methodist's Southwestern football
empire crashed tonight before the
power of the Rice Owls, 4l-27.
The team that had won two
Southwest Conference champion
ships in a row and lost only one
game in two and a half seasons
took a terrific beating from q
Rice team spanked by the passer
Tobin Rote and the driving. twist
ing runs Of Bobby Lantrip and
Gordon Wyatt.
Rice roared back from a 6-14
half time deficit to all but run
S. M. U. out of the Cotton Bowl,
where $4,000 fansAthe largest
crowd ever to see. q Southwest
Conference game - watched the
awesome power of the men in blue.
Worst Since 1945.
Not since 1945 had any team
scored as many as II points on
Southern Methodist. The great
Randolph Field team of that time
turned the trick. 1t was the most
points ever made on the Ponies
in a conference game. S. M. u.
has been in the conference since
1918.
Rice did it with all-America
Doak Walker sidelined most of
the last half. Walker was injured
in a pile-up on the sidelines, being
knocked into wheel chair in
which war veteran was watch
ing the game. Rice was penalized
IS yards for roughness. Walker
played little afterward and never
did carry the ball again.
Southern Methodist entered the
game rated tenth nationally and
Rice, which had lost to Louisiana
State. was the underdog. S. M. U.
was a seven and one-half point
favorite.
Better Team Wins.
But while Walker played his
usual all-America game when in
there, Rice had the better team
and deserved to win.
The Owls did not lead in the
statistics, but they had the punch
when scoring opportunities came.
Southern Methodist never could
stop the Rice machine when it
got in Pony territory.
Rote completed 10 passes out
OF 81 thrown for 1862 yards while
his mates whammed the line and
ran the ends for 1854. Southern
Methodist had 1853 on the ground
and 226 in the air.

three periods today and had
enough left to stave off a last

and brilliant passes in the last
period.
North battered Auburn in 81
runs which gained l68 yards.
Tech first scored in a seven
play drive which carried 68 yards.
North knocked Auburn's line into
a jumbled mess on the 7-yard
touchdown run. Four minutes
later Techs Quarterback Jimmy
Southland crossed the goal after
q 6-yard sweep.
For another quarter after the
half the game belonged to Tech.
Sixteen points were scored by
Tech-a touchdown by George
Maloof. another by North and a

Before Drenched Fans
BY the Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. Is
Each team converted a first-half
break into a touchdown today as
Tennessee and Alabama fought to
a TT tie before 41,000 drenched
fans.
Aside from the two scores. Ten
nessee had the only other real

and it was Tennessee's ball on the
Alabama IL in the fourth period.
Four plays got only six yards,
however, and that was all.
Tennessee counted first, blasting
away at the Alabama line for %
yards in 10 plays. Fullback Bernie
Sizemore plunged for most of the
distance. including the final yard.
Bert Rechichar. sophomore back
like Sizemore, added the impor-
tant extra point.
Alabama's score followed Center
Pat O'Sullivan's recovery of
tumble by Sizemore on the Ten
nessee 10. Ed Salem passed twice
for IA. Fullback Tom Calvin drove
to the one and Soph Halfback
Bimbo Melton, 160-pounder,

Western Conference Rose Bowl

appears the only logical choice
barring late season upsets. Neither
Northwestern nor Michigan, the
conferences representatives in the
1948 and 1947 Rose Bowl classics
is eligible to return this year. The
Pacific st-Western Conference
pact bars for three years a re-
peater in the January l contest.
Twice in the second period, Ohio
State threatened. The first time.
Halfback Jerry Krall pitched to
Halfback Ray Hamilton behind
the Minnesota defense. The play
began on the Ohio State Is and
Hamilton ended out of bounds on
Minnesota's 10. 1t was a 55-yard
gain.
But the attack begged down on
Minnesota's 4. where the visitors
took over on downs.
Another O. S. u. Drive Fizzles.
In the last seconds of the first
half, Ohio States Clark tossed to
End Tom Watson from the Ohio
20. Watson nearly broke away,
but was pulled down on the Min
nesota 20 for 60-yard advance
This drive hzzled. too. with just
seconds left before half time.
Minnesota began moving again
in the fourth period. From the
Minnesota ls, Gregory broke loose
for 80 yards around his left end.
Again the Minnesota runners
slowed down on the Ohio 20. There
Bye slipped his touchdown pass
