Robertson Passing Gives Kansas Upset lover TCU, II to IS FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. 22.-The magic passing of Jerry Robertson threw an upset into Texas Christian University tonight as Kansas University defeated the Southwest Conference eleven, 27 to 13. Robertson, a sub for Jerry Bogue. passed for two touchdowns. Then he topped his performance by running 13 yards for another tally. To finish off the Horned Frogs, Charlie Hoag passed for another score late in the fourth when it appeared Texas Christian still had a chance to pull the game out of the fire. Texas Christian, expected to toss few passes itself, stayed on the ground, taking to the air mainly to loosen up the Big Seven Conference teams defense. In the fourth, the Horned Frogs crossed up the Jayhawks when Malvin Fowler tossed four-yarder to John Medanich for the final Texas Christian touchdown, But TCU got TO the 4 mainly on the ground.
