OKLAHOMA 20, KANSAS 0

The LowdowneseseeThe boys won it with their vicious, slashing rumning, We drew a
cold, gray day but there was no wind and the field was dry. after a bit of sparring
the Sooners drove 33 yards to a touchdown in the first quarter, putting over the
first scoring punch of the battle as they have all years Dub Wooten set it up by
blocking Robison's punt. lLebow and Dollarhide marched that 33 yards mom fast with
Lebow scoring from the one. Wooten goaled. 7-0. In the second quarter we nearly
scored again with our backfield of Meason, Heard, Sharp and Sparkman, They began
running off the T and it looked greate Sharp took a hand pass from Sparkman and
shot around his left end for 37 yards to the Sansas 4, but the play was called back
because sur backfield was in motion. The boys nearly scored anyhow when Heard ran
28 yards to the Sansas 11 off a T buck, but Sharp's fourth down buck was stopped en
the one-foot line and it was 7-0 at half. Cklahoma received the second half kickoff
and drove 65 yards to a touchdown without losing the ball, lLebow bucked for 9 and
7 Lebow flipped.a pass to Heard who made a leaping catch for 33 yards on the Kansas
31. Lebow passed to Sharp for 8, fake passed and ran 15, passed to Sharp for 8 more
and Sparkman qb sneaked for the td. Wooten goalede i4nthe fourth quarter Tomny
Meason, Ardmore freshman and our sub tailback, broke loose for 54 yards to the KU
17. Then Billy Wright, sub fullback, bootlegged around right end for the td. and
this time Wooten missed. Our second teamwas in on this drive with Peddycoart at
