 Solution

For $x\in S^2\subset {\mathbb{R}}^3$, let $F(x)=x^T$, viewed as a nonzero $1$ by $3$ matrix. This defines a smooth map $F:S^2\to X_{1,3}$. Its pulled-back fiber isso the evident fiberwise identity gives an isomorphism of vector bundles $F^{\ast }{E}_{1,3}\cong T{S}^2$.

If $E_{1,3}$ were a trivial vector bundle, its pullback would be trivial. A trivial rank-two bundle has a nowhere-zero section, whereas the assumed form of the Hairy ball theorem says that the tangent bundle $T{S}^2$ does not. Hence $E_{1,3}$ is nontrivial.
