KU Battles Sooners To 13-13 Tie
The University of Kansas Jayhawkers battled the Oklahoma Sooner powerhouse to a 13-all tie Saturday before a frenzied crowd of 34,700 in Norman. Okla.
Described by an onlooker as "last year's game, minus Turner," the parallel was closer than that. With the score tied in the last quarter, Ray Trump was going to win the kick for $
Described by an onlooker as "la parallel was closer than that. With t Evans was going to try the kick for $ a field goal from the 29-yard line when a 5-yard penalty for too much time moved the ball back to the 34. After that, Scott punted out on the 17. Kansas Scores First
Kansas scored first early in the second quarter when Frank Pattee faked a handoff to Griffith, then raced untouched through the Sooner line from the 3-yard stripe. This climaxed an 80-yard drive sparked by Evans, who had made a 24-yard run, followed by a 16-yard pass to Otto Schnellbacher.
This first touchdown set off a riotous celebration in a large section of the east stadium, where an estimated 1,000 Kansans were grouped. When Don Fambrough was wide with his conversion kick, that was also the section that groaned so loudly. Then they soberly wondered how long a 6-point lead could hold the Sooners. Oklahoma Goes Ahead
Not for long, they discovered. Later in the same period, Sarratt recovered Scott's fumble on the K.U. 41, and the Sooners, led by speedy George Thomas, drove 40 yards. Royal scored from the 1-inch line. Wallace converted, and Oklahoma went ahead, 7-6.
The second half opened like a blitzkrieg. In just 50 seconds of play, using just three plays, Oklahoma traveled 70 yards to a touchdown. A 49-yard pass from unheralded Charles Sarratt to publicized Jack Mitchell, who went from the 25-yard line to score, turned the trick. Dave Wallace's conversion sailed wide, leaving the score 13 to 6.
Jayhawkers Fight Back
The next 12 minutes passed with Kansas fighting back hard, the Oklahoma offense dominating throughout. One Sooner drive was stopped on the K.U. 29 when Schnellbacher trapped Mitchell for a 6-yard loss, and they were forced to punt. The Jayhawker offensive was unable to get out of home territory until late in the period, when Scott's kick put the ball on the O.U. 29. A holding penalty pushed the Sooners back to the 14 and squarely on the spot, but Royal booted out of immediate danger.
The final Kansas payoff march then began. On the first play, Hogan ran around his own left end, was trapped, and lateralled to Schmidt, who tossed a quick one to Griffith, who, in turn, sailed down to the O.U. 28 for a 20-yard gain. Two plays later McNutt heaved one to Schmidt on the 18-yard line. In four more plays, aided by Evans' 12-yard pass to MacDonald, the Kansans scored. Griffith went over from the 4-yard line.
Fambrough Ties It Up
A tense, electric calm settled in the stadium as 35.000 bairs of eves centered on Don Fambrough, who noncholantly shook his payoff leg to limber it up, then trotted slowly forward to the point where Ray Evans held the ball.
The kick was good, the game was tied, and thousands of Jayhawkers from Oread hall in Lawrence to the press box in Norman were triumphantly delirious.
Both teams threatened in the fourth quarter but neither had the payoff punch. The Sooners made a thrilling last-minute stab on Sarratt's passing, which racked up 50 yards in three consecutive completions, but Ray Evans intercepted a fourth try, thrown this time by Royal, and carried it from the 3-yard line back to the 17 when the gun ended the game.
Oklahoma surprised the dopesters by unveiling a potent aerial threat in the arm of letterman Charley Sarratt. The Sooners completed five passes out of nine attempts for the total of 109 yards. O.U. gained 227 yards rushing, of which 162 were made by George Thomas, George Brewer, and Sarratt, who completely stole the show from Mitchell.
Ray Evans pointed the Jayhawk attack, carrying the ball 16 times, and completing four passes in 10 attempts. Frank Pattete was also effective the nine times he carried the ball. Kansas gained only 102 yards rushing-getting 13 first downs to
Oklahoma's 15—completed six out of 15 passes for 18 yards, and averaged only 25.3 yards on punts to O.U.'s 36.6. The Sooners were penalized 85 yards to K.U.'s 40.
Sideline Notes
The players stayed in Oklahoma City Friday night, only a few doors from the Oklahoma team. Coach Wilkinson sent his squad away from Norman for the night to get a good rest, away from the pre-game celebrating. . . . The teams took chartered busses from Oklahoma City to Owen field, and they were convoyed by two state highway cars and four motorcycle patrolmen. . . .
***
The Sooners celebrated "Dad's Day" and most of the organized houses entered the spirit of the occasion with welcome banners and novel lawn decorations . . . The Oklahoma band of 140 members played "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" while lined up to form the letters, HI POP during half-time . . . They also formed a Jayhawk and gave the famous "Rock Chalk," followed by the "Alma Mater" . . .
Coach Sauer didn't send the Jayhawkers out for a pre-game warmup until 25 minutes before game time, probably because of the heat . . . A stiff breeze blew from the north (the field runs north and south), which had noticeable effect on the kicking . . . Royal's 66-yard punt (75 in the air) in the fourth quarter had the wind behind it. . . .
* *
Jack Mitchell, snake-hipped Sooner running star from Arkansas City, Kan., was held to a net gain of 14 yards in eight running attempts . . . Most of his plays were of the sneak variety from the tip of the "T," and he seldom was allowed to get in the open where he is shifty enough to cause trouble. . . . the punters were aiming for the sidelines when Mitchell was back in safety spot for the Sooners. . . . Evans carried the ball more than any back on either team, and averaged better than three yards a try against the tough O. U. forwards. . . . this would have been better if he had not been smothered twice trying to get passes away. . . French and Oklahoma's Thomas were the most effective ground-gainers, each averaging more than six yards a gallop. . . .
***
Don Lattinger could hardly want to find out how much ground yardage he and the rest of the Kansas line had yielded, and was very disappointed when he learned it was over the 200-mark. . . . Otto Schnellbacher was the only 60-minute man for Kansas.
