Der even for a Southwest Con-
ference team.
Southern Methodist gained 352
yards in the air on "a compile
tons but had two passes inter-
cepted. When Benners failed to
connect, it usually was because
he was rushed and harried so
badly by the Texas line that he
couldn't hit the target.
SMU Halted on Ground.
SMU was held to a minus 68-
yes MINUS 68-rushing while
Texas got 140 yards. The Long
horns rolled up 139 in the air.
A stiff north wind got SMU in
the hole early and the Methodists
never could draw ahead although
twice tying the score.
The wind hampered SMU kick
ing in the first period and the
Methodists never could get out of
their territory before Texas had
a touchdown.
| It was scored by Byron Town
send, power man of the Longhorn
backfeld. on a plunge from the
SMU five after Tompkins' passing
had put the ball down there.
SMU Ties Score.
SMU snorted back with a So
yard drive for a tying score early
in the second quarter. The pay
off was a 25-yard throw from Ben
ners to Benny White on the Texas
five and White lateraled to Rote
for the touchdown.
Texas shot ahead with an 30
yard drive with Townsend and
Lew Levine pounding great gaps
in the Methodist line and Tomp-
kins throwing true to Tom Stol-
handske and Ben Proctor. From
the four Townsend climbed over
left guard for the touchdown.
SMU got to the Texas 7 late
in the second quarter on a To-
yard pass play from Rote to Pat
Knight but with only 20 seconds
left in the half Rote tried jump
pass to H. N. Russell. The ball
bounded out of Russell's hands
and fell into the arms of Texas
Don Barton.
SMU tied it up with a 69-yard
surge as son as it got the ball
in the second half. 1t required
just nine plays, four of them passes
by Benners. A 39-yard gamer to
Champion took the ball to the
1-yard line and Rote plowed over
Texans Intercept Pass.
Texas got its third touchdown
as the result of an intercepted
pass in the third period. H. j.
Stands gathered in a Benners
throw and ran to the Methodist
II. A 15-yard penalty for illegal
use of the hands set Texas back
but pass from Tompkins to
Proctor in the end zone brought
the touchdown.
SMU then marched after the
kickoff to another touchdown
Benners' passes did the job. a g.
yard throw to White in the end
zone being the payoff.
Tompkins had kicked all three
extra points after touchdowns and
Bill Sullivan converted after the
first two SMU scores to make
his string 20 straight. But Sulli-
van missed the third try-the kick
was wide.
However, Sullivan was spared
the humiliation of being the mar
who lost the game. by that bac
kick when Texas got a safety ir
the last minutes. It was counted
when Russell took pass from
Rote behind the SMU goal line
and Paul Williams downed him.
