Hooper Leads Baylor Over Huskies, BAT WACO. Tex, Oct. 16.-Billy Hooper’s greatest game carried Baylor to a 34–7 victory over Washington today as the Bears quarterback passed for three touchdowns and scored one him self. Faking the Huskies like a card shark on a river boat, Hooper hurled the ball 244 yards, with scoring shots to Henry Gremminger, Charley Smith and Del Shofner. The other Baylor touchdown came late in the game after an intercepted pass, with Reuben Sage crashing over from one foot out. Washington scored on Baylor reserves in the final period with a 76-yard drive engineered by the passing of Bob Cox. wsshinston SsxIo4 - az ,Iaa Kyiiingstad. conversionNDerby. minser, % C. Smith.
