Texas Hands Baylor First Defeat, 13 10 10, In Hard-Fought Battle / WACO, Tex, Nov. 6.-The Texas Longhorns hit the comeback trail today, coming from behind to nudge Baylor, 13 to 10, in a wild, hard fought football game before 10000 at Municipal Stadium. 1t was the first defeat for once-tied Baylor. In the final analysis, it was Texas Quarterback Paul Campbell’s i’m proved passing arm that turned the trick for the Longhorns after it looked as if the Bears had the game in the bag. Baylor Scores First. Baylor drew blood first in the Sec ond period with a touchdown and the extra point. Then the Bruins added three more points with a field goal in the third quarter. Shortly thereafter, Texas came back with a 7O-yard pay-off drive for a touchdown, and Campbell’s pass to End George Mccall in the fourth period sewed it up for Texas. A tumble by Texas Ray Borneman set up Baylors first touchdown. Don Mouser pounced on the ball on the Texas FIVE. Jerry Mangum found a big hole and ran over for the score. Henry Dickerson place kicked the extra point. rr tumble Is Costly. Another Texas tumble put Baylor in scoring position in the third. Billy Pyle fumbled Adrian Burks punt after running it from the goal lirie and Baylor recovered on the Texas Is. Three plays left the ball on the II and Dickerson came in to boot the field goal. Texas stormed back, driving in eight plays to score. Then came Campbell’s game-winning pass. BAYLOR. Left end-Riley. Gloss. Dickerson. Lelt tacK4e-Helronimus, Wright, Rob- Left guaro-Jones.
