Kosse Mads Owls
Past Longhorns
(Continued from Page 1)
tic fourth quarter through which
the Rice partisans remained stand-
ing, the Big Blue physically and
mentally shocked the Longhorns in-
to despondent defeat. The sweaty,
silent Texas dressing room was
tilled with sobs and an occasional
curse. Such was the drama that left
Rice partisans hysterically yelling
and Texas fans suddenly dejected.
Dan Hart, who played brilliant-
ly before the unforgettable catch,
joined Frank Steen of the 1937
team, and Froggie Williams of
1949 in the ranks of those who
defeated Texas with last sec-
ond efforts.
The second string line came of
age carrying the major burden in
the Owls' victory. Buddy Grantham
set the passing pace with his
fourth quarter aerial game that
eventually led to Fenstemaker's
money toss. Gordon Kellogg came
from fifth string to sparkle at
right half. Mac Taylor, as Kosse's
only relief, carried three consecu-
tive times for 15 yards. Fenstemak-
or kicked the extra point that fig-
ured in Texas' safety-awarding
strategy that almost^ but not quite,
provided victory.
Texas played unnecessarily
roughly and suffered by penalties
as a result, Billy Quinn, Texas half-
back, was taken injured from the
field on the opening kickoff to re-
turn to action no more this year.
All these were important incident-
als that were factors in determining
the outcome of such a close game.
Texas produced an efficient first
half offense, and should they have
chosen to try to gain more than
13 points it is possible the Owls
would never have approached strik-
ing distance. The Longhorns pre-
sented an exceptionally fine array
of ends in Massey, Gilmer Spring,
Carlton Massey, and Menon Schrei-
wer. As it was, Rice dominated sta-
tistics, leading in first downs 19-7,"
rushing 162-9.3 yards, passing, 182-
69 yards, and naturally total of-
fense 344-162 yards. But most im-
portant of all was the scoring, 18-
13.
The Owls retained their poise
throughout the desperate last quar-
ter and this calmness provided the
heartening.results that may in the
future prove to he the margin of
success.
Rain Cuts Into Intramural
Schedule; Replay Saturday
Rain played havoc with the Fri-
day and Monday leagues, and
makeup games now constitute the
biggest schedule on the intramural
football agenda. Following last
week's action nine teams remained
undefeated in the five leagues. Of
these only two had won more than
one game and a third had yet to
play. Five games are on tap for
Saturday afternoon when all post-
poned games will be made up.
Those teams that have had games
cancelled should check the bulletin
board in the gym for the time and
place they will play tomorrow af-
ternoon.
Meanwhile, in games last week
the Yellow Dogs defeated the Tow-
er 19-6, the Could Be's downed the
4F's 20-0, the Hot Tamales shut
out the Rally Club 25-0, the Aar-
varks the Rubes 15-6, the Hepcats
outscored the Windless Six 20-12,
and the Pointmakers edged the
Tower Toughies,-6-2.
Popeye Beavers and Buzzy Bry-
an led the Yellow Dogs to their
victory. Beavers scored two touch-
downs and Bryan ran over for the
other.
Robert Johnson ran • ne TD
and passed for two othwo and an
extra point in the Could Be-4F
game. His longest aerial was a
60 yard scoring shot to John
Gibbs.
In a similar style Roy Mellor
passed for 4 TD's aa the Hot Ta-
males ran over the Rally Club.
Two of the point-making throw#
were to Larry Starr while a third
was to lanky Joe Durrenberger.
John Ludwig ran back a kick-
off 60 yards and then hauled in a
pass from the arm of Bill Trotter
to give the Aarvarks their win
over the Rubes. The Rubes only
score was a pass from David Wil-
lis to Charles Roberts.
In one of the better games of
the young season Monte R o b-
icheaux, LaDon Cox and Joe Fer-
titta teamed to give t he Hepcats
their come-form-behind 20-12 vic-
tory over the Windless Six. Rob-
