The Southwest Conference travel-

and winning owe it was supposed to
lose Out of the wreckage came
only two undefeated teams. Rice
and Arkansas.
Rice slammed Cornell 41-20 with
Dicky Moegle racing for four touch-
downs, one for 78 yards. Texas
blasted Washington State 40-14.
Baylor took a 19-13 finable before

Rice was expected to bold that

TCU 20-13 to make it two victories

Teams Unbeaten
e By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Texas schoolboy football
campaign rattles into October with
a wary 84 teams unbeaten and un-
tied but the casualty rate growing
heavier each week.
Thirty-two teams fell last week-
end with some of the mightiest up-
sets of the year. The big one was
the loud crash in West Texas when
Abilene’s top-rated Eagles of Class
AAAA were slammed 35-13 by
Breckenridge, the unbridled power
of Class AAA.
Upsets Galore
Lubbock also fell before Fort
Worth's North Side 13-7, Dallas
Sunset took a 14-7 tumble from Ty-
ler and Ray of Corpus Christi lost
13-7 to once-beaten Houston Lamar.
All through the ranks of the top
four divisions there were loud
thumping noises as this and that
favorite bit the dust. Levelland at
Class AAA was trounced by Padu-
cah of A, 49-12, and so on.

The powerful Philadelphia Eagles
won their second straight game to-
day to move into a first place tie
with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the
al Football League.
The triumph, combined with the
New York Giants' 20-14 loss to the
Baltimore Colts Saturday, moved
the Eagles into the favorite a spot
in the East.
In the only other games of the
day, the San Francisco Men and
the Los Angeles Rams, the two
teams that hope to rush peat the
Detrod Lions for the Western title,
fought to a 24-all draw, and the
Chicago Bears turned back the
Green Bay Packers 10-3.
The Chicago Cardinals were the
Eagles' victims, 35-16. It waa a
strange game in that the Cardinals,
threatening to make a run-away,
scored all their points in the first
four minutes
When Eagle quarterbacks Adrian
Burk and Bobby Thomason went
to work, the Cards were out of it.
Burk fired three touchdown passes
before the first half ended and

Arkansas beat TCU with an iron-
clad defense and general alertness.
Bobby Procter romped a yards
with an intercepted paaa to set up
the winning touchdown in the last
28 seconds. By thst time the clock
had begun to keep accurate time.
The crowd of 25,000 never knew
when the first period was up be-
cause the clock was running back-
ward and forward, once showing
17 seconds past U minutes midway
of the first quarter. They fixed it
just before the half ended.
Aggies Outplay Georgia
Texas A&M outplayed Georgia,
never allowing the Bulldogs inside
the 35-yard line, and toppling the
undefeated team on the passing of
Ellwood Kettler. His 14-yard gainer
to Gene Stallings scored the touch-
down. The Aggies rolled up 277
yards to 85 for Georgia.
Rice, with Moegle’s great night,
had little trouble with Cornell.
Moegle racked up a terrific 216
yards, 168 of ft rushing, although
playing less than half the game.
Texas used reserves most of the
way in swamping Washington
State, with Pat Tolar and Glen
Dyer each scoring two touchdowns.
The only bright vet for the Cou-
gars was a 73-yard touchdown run
by Duke Washington, a Negro.
Washington was the first Negro to
ever play in Memorial Stadium at
Austin.
SMU Rolls for-329
SMU rolled up a ponderous 329
yards to 181 for Georgia Tech but
fell to the very thing the Methodists
in the past had been most famous
for—the forward pass. A «7-yard
throw from Wade Mitchell to
George Volkert was the payoff.
Two SMU fumbles were turned into
a field goal and touchdown by Tech.
Baylor waa outplayed by an un-
derrated Miami team Friday night.
The Hurricanes intercepted four
Bear passes to carve out the vic-
tory while pulverising the Baylors
for 226 yards.
Moegle, with his four touchdowns
against Cornell, shot into the lead
in conference scoring with M
