SMU Tops Hawks In Texas Downpour
By JACK LINDBERG
Kansan Sports Editor
Dallas — Playing the entire game under a steady downpour, Southern Methodist defeated Kansas, 36-18, here Saturday. The smallest crowd in SMU's history watched the game, as the Mustangs scored 30 points in the first half and held KU for the remainder of the contest
Kansas scored first in the opening period when Duane Nutt punted to Dick Blowey, who raced down the sidelines 78 yards to the SMU 5-yard line. Two line plunges, by Blowey and Ralph Moody, lost one yard. The third try was a pitch-out to backfield Bud Laughlin who raced around his own left end for the touchdown. Dick Reich's try for the extra point was blocked and Kansas led 6-0.
It was the second time this year KU had led in a game. KU led 6-0 at one point during the Iowa State game.
From this point to the end of the first half it was all Southern Methodist.
SMU took Reich's kickoff and in four plays tied the game. A pass interference in the end zone gave the Mustang's a first down on the 1-yard line, and Nutt jumped over the line of scrimmage for the score. Ed Bernet converted the first of four times.
Later in the first period the Mustangs again put on a sustained march that went 51 yards, with Blake Tucker plunging the final two yards. Bernet converted and the Ponies led 14-6 at the quarter.
Beginning the second period a Ted Rohde punt was blocked and Rohde fell on the ball in the end zone for a safety and two more SMU points.
The Mustangs tallied twice more in the second period. The first TD came on a quarterback keeper play with Nutt scoring. The second resulted from a pitchout to Tucker. Bernet converted both times.
Kansas came more to life in the second half than at any other time this season. Recovering an SMU fumble on the Kansas 43 early in the third quarter, the Jayhawks drove toward a touchdown, but bummed. A short SMU point went out of bounds on the Mustang 31 and five plays. KU scored its second TD. Terry McIntosh went six yards through guard for the score. Reich's attempt for the extra point was no good.
It marked the first time this season Kansas has scored more than one touchdown in a game.
Kansas controlled the ball most of the final two quarters. In the final period SMU drove 82 yards in 11 plays for the final Mustang touchdown.
Bud Laughlin, acting captain, won the toss and elected to receive. This is the only thing the Jayhawks won in the first half. SMU so dominated the game that KU made only three first downs, and ended the first half with a minus eight yards rushing.
The final Jayhawk score came with a minute left in the game. The passing of John McFarland and the catch by TD. TD. Held caught four straight passes.
After the first few minutes on the game players on both teams were covered with mud. Rain fell during the entire contest, and the playing field became a swamp. The players slipped and slip as if they were playing on ice.

49ers Take Lead In West Division Of Pro League
By UNITED PRESS
The most devastating ground attack the National Football league has known in more than a decade enabled the San Francisco Forty-niners to take over first place in the Western division today and take a giant stride toward ending the three-year reign of the world champion Detroit Lions.
With Hugh McElhenny, Joe Perry, and John Henry Johnson tearing the massive Detroit line virtually to ribbons, the Forty-Niners downed the Lions, 37-31, yesterday and remained the league's only undefeated team. The victory was San Francisco's 16th in a row and marked the end of Detroit's string of 16 straight games without a loss.
The Forty-Niners' trio of 200-pound linemasners gained a total of 260 yards in 31 tries for an amazing average of 8.4 yards per crack at Detroit's 245-pound defensive line, to offset the Lions' 349-157 yard advantage passing. McElenhny, who played with a 60-yard touchdown, gained 126 yards in seven tries, Perry picked up 51 yards in 13 carries, and Johnson hammered out 83 yards in 11 assignments.
Big 7 Standings
Quarterback Y. A. Tittle supplied the "eight-yard-a-crack trio" with the air arm it needed, completing 13 of 25 passes and throwing two touchdown passes to end Billy Wilson. The Lions, sparked by Bobby Layne, rallied for 17 points in the second and third periods and then scored 14 points in the final session after Tom Dublininis took over the passing. He was asked if he had with a head injury during the third period—one of numerous injuries suffered by players of both sides in the bruising contest.
All Games
The New York Giants moved into a three-way tie for first place in the Eastern division via a 24-7 triumph over the Washington Redskins, while the Los Angeles Rams outscored the Chicago Bears, 42-38, the Cleveland Brown's Crushed the Chicago Cardinals, 35-3, and the Green Bay Packers shaded the Baltimore Colts, 7-6, in yesterday's other games. The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 17-7, on Saturday night setting the stages for the three-way tie at the top of the Eastern Division standings.

OhioState,Army,UCLA Rise in Grid Picture
It's another Monday of headaches and hangovers today for several of the nation's highest-ranked football teams, but the beginning of another bright and shiny new week for those rapidly-rising grid titans Ohio State, UCLA, and Army.
By UNITED PRESS
Those three were the biggest winners of an upset-ridden weekend that saw no less than 25 teams blasted from the perfect-record list, including four members of the country's "Top 10"—Wisconsin, Mississippi, Minnesota, and Colorado.
A total of 51 teams still are unbeaten and untied, including just ten teams.
Ohio State came through with one of the weekend's most important triumphs by rising out of its No. 4 national ranking to upset second-ranked Wisconsin, 31-14, and move a long stride nearer a Rose Bowl berth. Wisconsin had a 7-3 halftime lead but the Buckeyes took the lead on an 88-yard touchdown run and then smothered the Badgers with three touchdowns in the last period.
Third-ranked UCLA, which last week handed Stanford its worst beating in history, 72-0, followed up by handing Oregon State the worst beating in its history, 61-0. The Bruins rolled up nine touchdowns, starting $ \frac{2}{3} $ minutes after the opening whistle.
Army, ranked ninth, gave Columbia one of the worst lickings in the Lion's history, 67-12, and thus improved strongly its chances in the race for the Lambert trophy, emblematic of Eastern gridiron supremacy. Boston won with a Lambert balloting last week, was one of the major upset victims, bowing to Holy Cross, 14-13, in a televised game.
Mississippi, ranked fifth, was upended by Arkansas, 6-0. when the Razorbacks scored with three minutes to play on a 66-yard pass play from Buddy Benson to Carr Stan-
As the rain kept falling it kept getting darker. After the first play of the fourth quarter the lights were turned on in the Cotton Bowl.

It started raining early Saturday morning and halted only briefly at 1:30 p.m. when the sun almost poked its way through the clouds. At 1:35 it was raining again.
Dallas—Kansas football fans finally got something to cheer about in the SMU game, but it was a little late in the contest. After being held to a minus eight yards rushing in the first half and three first downs, the Jayhawks broke loose for 10 first downs and 100 yards rushing in the second half. The Mustangs had built up a 30-6 lead, however, almost an insurmountable task to overcome in the rain and mud.
After the first five plays from scrim-mage all the Jayhawk starters were covered with mud. The Smoo boys reached the least until three or four plays later.
The United Press had a woman covering the game for it. It be-
SMU took the field first dressed in dark blue jerseys, light pants, and red helmets. This is just about the only time during the afternoon anyone could identify the players.
A high school game had been played on the field Friday night and the playing surface was in miserable condition even before game time.
Rain, Mud, Sloppy Gridiron Makes Mess of SMU-KU Game
Oklahoma, the Nation's No. 1 team, punched stolidly to a 21-0 decision over Kansas State adding little luster but showing some mercy by sticking mostly to ground plays and staying on the road to an unbeaten season.
Considering the speed of the Mus-tang backfield the Jayhawks played an excellent game. A couple of breaks and the Hawks could have had one, or possibly two more touchdowns. With a little luck, SMU could have had some more, too.
Minnesota, ranked sixth, was crushed by an aroused Michigan squad, 34-0, as injured Tony Brancho came off the bench to spark the Wolverine attack and score one TD. The stunning win catapulted Michigan into the Rose Bowl picture with a 3-0-0 Big Een record compared to pace-making Ohio State's 4-0-0.
penter. The game was counted as a Southeastern conference game for Mississippi, by special permission of the league to fill out the Rebel's schedule, and the loss cost them their leadership of the league.
Notre Dame, ranked sixth, was the only team in the "Top 10" to remain idle but must have received plentily to worry about with the news that Navy, the Irish foe this Saturday, had bounced back from its upset by Pittsburgh to swamp Pennsylvania, S2-6.
First place in just about every major conference will be at stake during the coming weekend, but there'll be some top-notch intersections games, as well, like Duke-Georgia Tech and Army-Virginia, plus some "old rivalry" battles like Penn-Penn State and Pitt-West Virginia.

lieved that this is the first time in the history of the Southwest conference this has happened.
The woman, Miss Faye Loyd, has worked for UP in Dallas for four years as -re-write on the night desk. She attended the University of Texas and at one time was associate sports editor on the Daily Texan.
Some Dallas laundry must have made a fortune during the game. Each official carried a towel for the players to wipe their hands on. And each center had a towel stuck in the back of his pants. And there were two men wiping footballs, plus numerous towels scattered all over the field.
The only improvement that could be made in the press box would be the installation of windshield wipers on the plate glass windows. The press box is air conditioned and equipped with an elevator.
