So. Methodist
And Notre Dame
Set Pass Record
NEW YORK. Oct. 17—.d-South
ern Methodist's victory over Notre
Dame last Saturday resulted in
more than miseries for the Irish —
it also caused statisticians to scurry
for their record books to find out
if more passes ever were thrown in
a single game. There weren’t.
Figures released today by the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau
revealed that.two all-time records
were set. It was the first time that
two major trains have tossed 40 or
more passes against each other, and
the two-team total of 89 tosses set
a new- mark for passing in one game.
The Mustangs flipped 45 times,
and the Irish came right back with
44 of their own while winding up
on the short end of a 27-20 count.
Southern Methodist's total of 45
was the third highest in history,
eclipsed only by Loyola of Los An
geles' 50 and S.M.U.’s 47, both last
year.
Loyola has been throwing an aver
age of 41.5 passes per game. The
record for one season is 31 set by
Arkansas In 1937. The Loyolans
have ignored the ground to the ex
tent that they have averaged only
59.5 rushing yards a game. It
hasn't done them much good,
though. They have yet to win a
game.
Oregon and Washington ranked
third and fifth, respectively, in this
department. Oregon has completed
50 of 118 attempted passes in four
games for a 42.4 average of com
pletions and an average passing
gain of 199.3 yards per game. Wash
ington has averaged 50.8 percent
completions with 04 of 107 passes
attempted in four games and has
an average passing gain per game
of 189.3 yards. j
Meanwhile, Tulsa and College of
Pacific took over the total offense
end rushing offense leadership, re
spectively. Already the leading i
scorers of the country, Tulsa piled !
up 555 yards in whipping Houston
last week to shove their yardage
average up to 471.7 per game, and
fkyrocket from seventh place to the
top. Washington took Tulsa’s old
berth with a 431.5 average for four
games.

Benners, Dilion
Voted Best Backs
NEW YORK. Oct. 17——A pair |
of aces from down Texas way took
all the chips today as the best backs '
of the week in the Associated Press :
poll.
The winners W'ere Fred Benners,
Southern Methodist’s one- man I
aerial offensive who passed for four I
touchdowns and 336 yards ag nst
Notre Dame, and Bobby Dillon of
Texas, who made the key defensive I
play in the bitteV Tcxas-Oklahoma 1
battle. %
Although he’s been filling the
Southwest air w‘ith footballs for j
several seasons, Benners enjoyed
his greatest day against the amazed
! Irish last Saturday.
Unhurried and unruffled, Ben
j ners completed 22 of 42 passes
i against a team that had prepared
: a passing attack but could do no
thing to stop it.
Dillon’s performance was just as
outstanding defensively as he pro
vided the winning points in Texas’
9-7 win over Oklahoma. Safety
man Dillon came up fast to tackle
Sooner Halfback Frank Silva in
the end zone for a safety as Silva
attempted to run out a wild back
ward pass from quarterback Eddie
Crowder. j
Dillon also returned two punts j
59 yards, intercepted a pass and rani
it back 16 yards and made several |
important tackles in the safety posi- j
tion.
Benners and Dillon, of course,
were not the only backfield stars
to gain attention on the gridirons
and in the headlines. There was
Johnny Bright, Drake’s record
holding runner who scored four
touchdowns, ran for 202 yards and
passed for 84 more as Drake whip
