Today’s victory was the third Tor the Longhorns in as many weeks over a major conference opponent. Although the setback did not nee essarily knock the Texas Christian eleven out OF a second straight title, il promised to cramp their style. They faced the prospect of having to defeat both Baylor and Southern Methodist University to repeat. Koy Starts II Ernie Koy. husky sophomore half back, started the Longhorns on their 75-yard victory march midway of the third period, when he piled around his left end for % yards and planted the ball on the Horned Frogs 36-yard line.
