  FRANK LeanS. N o Ut e DdIne kept moving along the unbeaten trail But it was Blair Cherry’s Texas Longhorns who made it the hard way Forced to the ground by rain that nullified their great Bobby Layne, the Longhorns buried Arkansas, 21–⁠6, in Memphis mud for their fifth straight victory. At the present moment no eleven has greater claim to the ma tional title. Next Saturday the Longhorns face Rice and the Owls should be doubly dangerous because of their 14–⁠0 upset defeat by Southern Methodist. A couple of outfits not exactly considered Frankensteins by their neighbors back home did themselves proud Saturday. Wis consin jolted unbeaten Yale, 80, and Purdue crushed Boston Uni versity, 62–⁠7. The boys could be right in saying that football strength was moved West, with a dissenting vote from the Deep South, of course. In smacking Northwestern, 49, 21,, for a total of 222 points against their opponents “a this season, Michigan may have been enjoying the pleasant interlude that deceives before a storm. Next Saturday Michigan faces Illinios. The fighting Illini really pulled a ferocious canine out of the bag when they crushed Mime sofa, 40–⁠13. At least we had one part of the score right in advance. We had picked the Gophers to win by a 1877 margin. Anyway, here’s a good spot to say we picked n winners against seven losses and one tie for a seasons total of 80 wins, “a losses and 7 ties. Could be worse. California Is another team that Jared we’ll, with a 21–⁠6 triumph
