SCARE THE SOONERS—
(continued from paze one)
Drama from Fans
But before the Sooners finally manager to shove over their face-saving touchdowns, Kansas fans were treated to a moment which Frank Merriwell himself could not have matched for sheer drama.
After taking the ball in midfield late in the third quarter, the Jayhawks began to roll over and through the highly regarded Sooner line. Ed Hall, who plunged savagely from his fullback position through the entire 60 minutes, blasted out 12 yards and a first down on two successive attempts.
With the ball on the Oklahoma 38 yard line, Don Pollom was tossed for a 2 yard loss and Hall was able to pick up only 1 through center. On the next play, Hall whipped a perfect pass to Pollom who was run

Ball in Perfect Position
out of bounds on the Sooners' 21 yard stripe, the play gaining 21 yards.
Hall attempted to pass again but was thrown for a loss when he was unable to find a receiver. Next he smashed into the line for a 5 yard gain, and, as the quarter ended, the ball stood almost directly in front of the goal posts on the Oklahoma 20 yard line.
A roar of approval rose from Kansas cheering section as the fans realized that Gibbens was risking his remarkable drop-kicking streak
While the teams changed goals, there was a sudden flurry of activity on the Kansas bench and Chester Gibbens, probably the country's greatest drop kicker, shook himself out of his trench coat. Picking up a helmet, he stopped at Coach Gwinn Henry's side and then dashed on the field.

which had reached 11 points in a row. In the face of a strong southwest wind, Gibbens stepped back, looked at the goal posts nearly 40 yards away and took the pass from Center Don Pierce. But the ball sliced off the side of his foot and the three points, which looked at that time as though they might win the game, failed to materialize. Sooners Finally Score
Oklahoma took the ball and Martin quick- kicked out of danger with a 58 yard punt which carried to the Kansas 22 yard line. After several plays. Sugeye booted to

Jayhawks, after failing to dent the Sooner line, punted to the Oklahoma 48 yard marker. That was the last the Kansans saw of the ball until the Sooners, with Martin and Ham showing the way, had planted it in the end zone. Martin's 4-yard plunge climaxed the 52 yard march.
With a blinding display of speed and deception, the "Fighting Irish" marched 78 yards in the last few minutes of play and defeated a hard luck Navy team, 13 to 7.

A MARVELOUS SELECTION OF FINE COATS FOR YOUR CHOOSING—
TOPCOAT TIME
Two earlier Sooner scoring bids were halted by the courageous Kansas line and assist from Lady Luck. As the first quarter drew to a close, Oklahoma advanced the ball to the Kansas 9 yard line. On the first down, Martin picked up 4 yards. Then Jack Jacobs, Oklahoma's Indian halfback, cracked the line for 3 more.
Pierce, who played his usual brilliant game at center, stopped Martin at the line of scrimmage. The ball now stood just 2 yards from the goal line. But on the fourth down Martin piled into the Kansas forward wall and was stopped a foot short of the last chalk stripe.
Harris' try for the point after touchdown was no good.

Early in the second half, the Sooners threatened again, sweeping down the field to the Kansas 2 yard line in a series of power plays. Here the pass from center, which was intended for Martin, hit the leg of one of his backfield mates and bounded along the ground. A swarm of Kansas linemen covered the free ball and Pollom punted out of danger on the next play.
