BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. O. Texas Christian University waited until the last three minutes to uncork its passing attack against In diana today, but then struck quickly for 4 7–6 victory over the previously undefeated Hoosiers. Indy Berry, 1s-year-old backfield sensation for the Frogs, set up TCU’s only touchdown threat and then climaxed the 59-yard march with a dancing eight-yard run around right end for the score. The Texans, fighting back after Indiana had gone ahead with q third-quarter touchdown, were on the offensive most Of the afternoon But a stout Hoosier line prevented . sustained drive until Berry began connecting. After Homer Ludiker had come In to boot the extra point that won the game, Indiana could not come back. It was George Taliaferro who passed Indiana to its six-point lead shortly after the second half opened. The Gary, Ind, Negro took a TCU punt on the midfield stripe and raced to the TCU 20. Two plays later, he heaved a long ball across the field and almost into the hands of Jimmy Hunt, Frog defensive back.
