ceptlon with Dull strength, also
had an 81-yard touchdown gall
lop to his credit. For the day,
his yardage total was 306, in run
ming, pass and punt receiving and
a short pass he threw that set
up touchdown.
At Halftime. Texas had rolled
up 80 points on a Georgia team
that was extremely proud of it's
defensive ability, and the score
was 400 before the Bulldogs
scored. At that time, the Aggies
had used all of the AZ players
who made the trip.
Before it was over, the Bull
dogs counterattacked with some
fancy offensive doings of their
own, including a 65-yard punt re-
turn by the flashy Zippy Morocco.
The Aggies regulars were back
in there at the end, threatening
from the Georgia IA.
Tidwel Top Scorer.
Smith, the Nations third lead
ing ground gamer this season, was
Ioutscored by teammate, Bill Tid-
we'll. who carried for three touch
downs on a five-yard burst
through the middle, a siX-yard
end run and 32-yard smash
down center.
Georgia. which lost only two Of
II regular season games and was
playing its seventh post-season
game in II years, not only brought
the score to respectable propor-
tions but gained 220 yards on the
ground to 304 for Texas. The
teams were about even in passing,
but the Bulldogs made Is first
downs to 10 for the winners, who
were going for longer distances
than mere first downs.
Few college ball games this sea-
son produced ball-carrying per-
formances that exceeded those of
Smith and Tidwell of the winners
and Morocco, the shifty Georgia
lad from Youngstown, Ohio, the
home town of one of Georgia's
greatest, frankie Sinkwich.
Make Their Own Breaks.
The Texans not only dominated
the offense, but made their breaks
with vicious tackling and excel
lent defensive play by Jimmy
Fowler as a linebacker and Char
ley Mcdonald, who intercepted
two passes that twice stopped
comeback attempts. On the line,
Carl Moberg, an all-Conference
guard choice, and Ends Clinton
Gwin and Dorbont Barton just
wouldn't let the Bulldogs pass.
Georgia trailed by 13 points
after minute and So seconds and
never recovered. The eight bands
that participated in the lavish
pre-game show were not yet in
their seats when Smith, who also
is called Bruisin' Bob and the
Houston Hurricane, took off on his
touchdown gallop of an even 100
yards.
Georgia's first play from it's 81
yard line was bobbled by Morocco
and Fowler recovered on the spot.
Dick Gardemal, who throws a
bullet-liKe, head-high pass, hit
Jerry Crossman for a 17-yard gain
to the four, and after Smith lost
a yard, Gardemal tossed to Glenn
Lippman for touchdown. Dar-
row Hooper added three of five
points after touchdown.
Smith Goes 81 Yards.
Georgia's first visit to Aggie ter
ritory was on jump passes from
Bob Cook to Bob Walston and
Harry Babcock, but Billy Nixon
fumbled when hit by Jack Little
and Fowler recovered on his own
10. From that spot, the Aggie line
made an opening for Smith and
good blocking helped him to his
8l-yard touchdown jaunt.
McDonald'S second pass inter-
ception set up the touchdown that
made it 27-0. Smith went for Is
and IL yards on two efforts and
TidWell went wide with a handoff.
Nobody was near him when he
scored from six yards out.
Some Quick Ball Changes.
In a crazy sequence late in the
first half. the ball changed hands
three times in as many plays on
.recoveries by Art De Carlo and
Patsy Rocco of the Bulldogs and
Little of the Aggies. with Georgia
finally holding. But the Bulldogs
