The Texas team showed much superior offensive and defensive work. After eight minutes of play Dawes of Southwestern was pulled over the line for the first touchdown. Snipes kicked goal The rest of the half was hard fought. At one time Tulane had the ball on the Texas seven-yard line. but was unable to either start the ends or pierce the line of the opposing eleven. In the second half Texas entered the game very much stronger and after working the ball down the field by substantial gains sent Mcdsnry around left end for a run OF 10 wards and touchdown. Once more the Tulane goal was crossed and snipes kicked the ball squarely between the posts. Summary: Touchdowns, Downs ?, Nc Henry 1. Goal from touchdown, Snipes q: tulane none.
