Oklahoma Rallies Late To Down Kansas, 33 To13
Storming from behind with four touchdowns in the space of five minutes, 20 seconds, Oklahoma defeated a hard-battling Kansas队, 33 to 13. Saturday.
Fumbles and highly-spirited Kansas resistance held the Sooners off for 50 minutes. Then the storm broke and Oklahoma passed its way to its 28th consecutive victory, a new modern record.
Six lost fumbles and one pass interception halted powerful O.U. drives in the first three quarters. The Sooners' inability to hold onto the ball enabled the Jayhawkers to lead 13 to 7 going into the final quarter. The first two Sooner fumbles came on bad handoffs, but the last five—O.U. also lost the ball once in the fourth quarter—were the result on hard tackling by the Jayhawkers.
Kansas started the scoring late in the first half on a 55-yard pass play from Chet Strehlow to Lyn Smith. The Jayhawkers' 7 to 0 halftime margin marked the first time in five years that Oklahoma had been blanked through the first half.
The possibility of an upset mounted on Kansas' first play from scrimmage of the second half. Wade Stinson thrilled the Armistice day crowd of 40,000 with a beautiful 71-yard touchdown run. He broke over left tackle with the help of good blocking in the line and out-run the
Oklahoma secondary. Fox Cashell nissed the extra point, but K.U. led, 13 to 0.
Stinson was K.U.'s leading ball carrier Saturday. He gained 114 yards in 23 plays—an average of nearly five yards a play. Wade, who with every yard sets a new rushing record for Kansas, has a season total of 917 yards. His touchdown Saturday tied the individual scoring mark for a Kansas player in a single season. The record is 11 touchdows and 66 points. It was set last year by Bud French.
Charlie Hoag also ran well for Kansas when he was given a little blocking. Hoag gained a net of 70 yards rushing before being injured and carried from the field early in the fourth quarter. Both coaches—J. V. Sikes of Kansas and Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma—called Hoag's injury the turning point of the game.
Hoad had been jarred up earlier in the game and was out for a series of downs. This time he faded to the left to pass, was rushed hard, and barely got the pass agay. Just after Hoag threw the ball, an Oklahoma player charged into him, knocking him to the ground. Hoag was carried from the field unconscious and bleeding from a cut around the mouth.

broken bones. Except for cutthroat
and bruises he is expected to be all right.
At the time of this critical play, Kansas was leading 13 to 7. There were 13 minutes left in the game and the Jayhawkers had a first down on the Oklahoma 44-yard line — Hoag's pass had been complete for 13 yards. With Hoag gone, the Sooners were able to concentrate on Stinson and the Kansas attack was stopped cold. The play undoubtedly boosted Oklahoma's morale and lowered Kansas'.
For Oklahoma, Leon Heath's running and Claude Arnold's passing were virtually unstoppable. Heath, who for the first time this year was driving and plowing like 1949, led the Sooners' many ill-fated first half drives.
Arnold took over in the last quarter to pass the Sooners to victory. Throwing both long and short, the O.U. quarterback completed nine of 15 passes for 200 yards. Eight of his last 10 passes were complete—four of them for touchdowns. But for faulty receiving, Arnold would have hurt Kansas with his first half passes. The O.U. pass receivers were just as butterfingered as the ball carriers.
Billy Vessels also hurt Kansas. He averaged over eight yards a play in rushing for 53 yards. And he caught three passes for 90 yards. One of these was for the leading touch-

The Oklahoma line was the difference of the game. It out-charged the Jayhawkers most of the afternoon, and showed the usual powerful downfield blocking of Sooner teams. Kansas, gained 250 yards rushing, but Sooner forwards broke through to throw Jayhawker backs for 68 yards in losses.

Oklahoma had drives of 35, 50, 74, and 50 yards stopped in the first half by fumbles. Bill Mace recovered one of them, Chuck O'Neal two, and Bob Talkington one. Arnold and Heath were the fumblers—the most costly was by Heath on the Kansas five-yard line after nearly picking up a first down. Aubrey Linville, playing safety for Kansas, intercepted a Vessels pass on the Kansas 11 to halt another drive.
