Speeding down the field with good interference, this small grldster placed the ball across the white line after two jaunts oO 80 and 25 yards respectively. Allnoch to Appling via the air seemed to be Rice's standby. Altho a fine bit of line smashing by Braden was responsible for the Rice score that ended the contest, It was a double heave from Allnoch to Ap- pling that scored the touchdown whiclf passed the Bearkats at the beginning of the last period. The Bearkats kicked off. The Owls were downed at the 40 yard line, and two line smashes netted but Qve yards. Allnoch punted to Mayfield who caught the ball at the twenty yard line and started back with it. Both of Rice's ends, were carried out of the play, and Mayfield sprinted through the entire remaining part of the team for a touchdown. Rodgers kicked the goal. In the second period, the Owls seemed to recover somewhat from their surprise at Mayfields feat. A deluge of crashing straight football plays alternating Braden, Allnoch, and Murray carried the ball down the field. Allnoch finally went across and Braden booted the goal. Helsman substituted freely In the second period and with the loss of Allnoch at the punting post, Sam Houston gained heavily on the ex- change of spirals. Rice was forced back toward her own goal line by failure to pierce the Houston for- \ wards. A penalty for roughness placed the ball on Rice's one-yard line, and Murray's boot settled into Mayfields arms at the 33 yard mark- er.
