Texas Tech and sickness com-
bined for a 61-14 victory over the
University of Houston Saturday as
the Red Raiders put on one of
their greatest offensive shows.
Texas Tech scored 42 points in
the second period to riddle a Hous-

infection or food poisoning. Twen-
ty of the 35 Houston squad mem-

urday. All suited up for the game,
but many were still very weak.

of the Houston team a chance to
score two touchdowns.

Houston, almost 300 of them dur-
ing the first two periods.
Tech was able to score only one
touchdown in the first period, but
the second team scored on the
first play of the second quarter
and then scored five more before
the half interrupted the slaughter
at 48 to 0.
The second time Texas Tech

for a touchdown. Most of the
yardage was picked up by fullback
James Sides. Walter Bryan

score.

Fabulous Bevo
Coming To Pampa
Pampa Kiwanis Club has an-
nouned the return of the Harlem
Globe Trotters again this season.
But this time with a cast that
should prove to be a crowd please
er from start to finish.
Not only are the famous Globe
Trotters a show in themselves,
but coming to Pampa will be
fabulous Bevo Francis, a basket-
ball player who has received more
publicity than the president of
the United States.
Bevo made every headline in the
country, during his playing days
at little Rio Grande College, and
rolled up more points than (to coin
a phrase) "Carter had Pills.’’
Now Francis is in the profession-
al game and ripping the nylon for
the Boston Whirlwinds, an aggre-
gation that needs no introduction
to Pampa cage fans.
With Bevo will be his former
ijoach at college. Newt Oliver, an-
other headline grabber at Rid
College.
This top basketball show will
come to Pampa Dec. 16 under the
auspices of the Kiwanis Club.
Tickets will go on sale Monday at
Malone Pharmacy.
Another fine part of this attrac-
tion is the price of tickets this sea-
son. $1.25 for general admission,
$1.80 for reserve seats. Just half
of what they were last year.
