Description
Ben Tompkins, of Texas, throws a 42-yard pass to Ben Proctor on the final play of the first half of the game between Texas and Texas A&M. Proctor caught the ball on the six, fell forward to the two. The play started with four seconds remaining, and the clock had gone two seconds beyond the halftime as Proctor fell. Not that Tompkins has launched a short, into a 16-mile wind, that is travelling 48 yards in the air. The Longhorns sent only one other receiver down the field. Published in Fort Worth Star-Telegram morning edition December 2, 1950.
