MEBPOSD (OHEOOK) MAIL TSIBUKr ELEVEN Psychological Boost Seen As Texas Christian Need (Thia it another of a seriea ea tha team in tha major foot ball bowl game.) Br ED FITE Fort Worth, Tex. (U.R; Texas Christian a .b i e s t handicap gainst Syracuse in the 21st Cot ton Eowl game New Years Day mav be mental rather than physi cal. There are several factors working against a Texas Chris tian victory over Syracuse and All -America halfback Jimmy Brown. In a way, it's a form of "sen iorjtis," although Coach Abe Martin denies his veteran play ers are oversold on themselves. Martin had his defending Southwest conference champions "high" early in the season and they were playing like super charged touchdown machines as they ground under the opposi tion. Loit Big Ona Then came the "big one." the showdown game with Texas A&M. TCU outplayed the Aggies except for about three minutes when the Aggies pulled them selves together and marched for a touchdown and a 7-6 victory. The "old heads" on the TCU squad nevr rprnvrred from tha Rice, Missouri Clip Oregon Quints Again Corvallis (U.R) Oregon and Oregon State basketball teams gave the local folks a thrill in the closing minutes last night but lost to Missouri and Rice for the second night in a row. Oregon State, which lost to Missouri by 30 points Tuesday night, made a fine showing against the strong Rice team be fore losing 55-54 in the night's finale. Oregon, which had lost by two points to Rice, came from behind late in the game only to drop a 59-52 decision to Missouri in the closing minutes. Dave Gambee, who produced 17 points for Coach Slats Gills' OSC team last night, swished one through with 3:01 left to put the Beavers ahead 53-52 aft er they had trailed Rice most of the game. Fre Throws Boost But four Rice free throws more than offset another Gam bee basket and the Owls had their win. Temple Tucker, the big 6-10 center for Rice, also canned 17 points., Gary Goble FITZGERALD IJV ? the original. 1 JUmJLMXMWKAV - .M heartbreaker. They felt the pic tures of the game showed they won with a touchdown that the officials didn't allow. They proceeded to drop games to Miami and Texas Tech and looked lethargic in doing so. They pulled themselves together briefly to nose out Baylor 7-6 in a game that ultimately got them into the Cotton Bowl. On top of this, there was a tendency among the Horned Frogs to second-rate Syracuse as a bowl foe after Navy failed to accept the bid. These angles have Martin wor ried as he tries to pep up the team to the precision-like peak at which it operated early in the year when Chuck Curtis was faking and passing almost flaw lessly, All-America Jim Swink was decoying and blocking per fectly to allow his halfback team mate. Ken Wineburg, to hog the glory with long touchdown runs and when the defense leaked hardly at all. So unless Martin can find the psychological answer between now and New Year's Day, TCU may be in for its sixth straight bowl game setback and Syracuse will be able to atone somewhat for the 61-6 shellacking it ab sorbed from Alabama in the 1953 and Jim Anderson each had 13 for OSC. Guard Lionel Smith of Mis souri, who topped all the night's scorers with 25, brought his team to victory. Eli Morgan's swisher brought Oregon from a 10-point deficit with 2.52 to play and tied the game at 50-50. Then Smith potted two quick field goals and before Oregon could score again it was 57-50 Missouri and the game was in the bag. Morgan had 15 points for Ore gon followed by Ed Bingham with 12 and Hal Duffy with 11.

Y. (U.R; Sugar Ray Robinson conceded today he lost his "battle of the electronics" with Gene Fullmer but predicted he'd still win their Jan. 2 battle for the middle weight championship. "He wins the machine but how about the fight?" quipped Robin son after electronic tests showed he threw a punch as hard but not as fa?t as Fullmer. "I'm not surprised at the result. I'm older." The tests, made by the Lavoia Laboratories of Morganville, N.J. showed Robinson landed his punch on a regulation heavy bag at a speed of 15.2 miles an hour and with a force of 1.500 pounds. Fullmer's test showed he landed his punch with a speed of 30.4 miles an hour and with a force of 1.260 pounds. The question will be settled once and for all when Robinson defends his title against the chal lenger in the Madison Square Garden ring Jan. 2.
