FORT WORTH, Tex. (AP) — Texas Christian ended two years of football frustration with a 26-21 Southwest Confer ence victory over Rice Satur day, and a delighted Coach Jim Shofner said a Cotton Bowl triumph could be no sweeter. ‘I know it sounds kind of ri diculous,” he grinned, ‘‘but this is as big a victory as I’ve ever been involved in. I’m surprised at my emotions. I’m sure winning the Cotton Bowl won't be any sweeter than this today. “It was just marvelous.” The Horned Frogs, with a spectacular passing show by Lee Cook, built a 287 lead through three quarters and survived a frantic final period to end their losing streak at 20. It was major college foot ball’s longest current victory drought and dated back to TCU’s first game in the 1974 season after the Horned Frogs opened the campaign by beat ing cross-county rival Texas Arlington. “We were a team today,’ said Cook, who threw a pair of touchdown passes and scored once himself to the surprise and delight of a meager au dience of 12,875. “The only thing that could have been more exciting would be to have won more...you have to leave sometime and I’m just glad to have left winning,” he said.
