He congratulated Brennan and "That is the best line play any Oklahoma team has gone up against in the past seven or eight years." Brennan admitted he called second quarter which almost paid off with a touchdown. Sizing up Oklahoma's play, Brennan said: "WE KNEW THEY were weak" on short passes and it paid off in the winning drive.

In the final conclusion, the men up front did it." Brennan said assistant Coach Bernie Crimmins scouted Oklahoma in three games and the teams exchanged sets of films. "You almost have to have the films these days to scout because of the speed with which plays are being run off, especially Oklahoma." ACTUALLY, NOTRE Dame's touchdown came as a shocker because several times Oklahoma had held deep in its own territory and Notre Dame had been unable to get through the middle when it was necessary. Williams explained the winning play thusly. "They were in tight, real tight, just waiting for me to give the ball to Pie-trosante. Well.

I iust faked to Saves Army, and tossed out to Lynch team." Brennan and the entire Notre Dame squad emphasized that the triumph was the result of a great team effort combined with superb scouting. COACH BUD WILKINSON in his usual sober tone said it was a tough job to accept defeat in the face of his team's brilliant 47 game winning streak. "They were just better than we were today," he said. "They deserved to win." Brennan said he couldn't single out any individual as the key player but said quarterback Bob Williams, guards James Schaaf and Allen Ecuyer and tackle Don Lawrence were the stalwarts "if anyone has to be mentioned personally." It feels great to beat a grand team and for the first time we played 60 minutes of football and we came down here to win," Brennan said in a dressing room jammed with well-wishers. "OKLAHOMA-IS A team and must be considered as good as any we played.

We just happened to have one of our best days and I don't believe anyone could have beaten us." Brennan said that every play in Notre Dame's touchdowjiL drive was engineered by Wit liams. Dick Lynch, who scored the touchdown, was probably the happiest fellow among the Irish. "That is the shortest but best touchdown I've scored this season. Monty Stickles blocked out the end and Pietrosante took care of the outside halfback. I believe we could have gone 95 yards on the play if we had been at the other end of the field." BRENNAN1ASJvED-if he woulcTEave called a field goal on the fourth down play instead of a run, replied: "No, we decided at the half i to go all the way.

We were! afraid Oklahoma could go all the way anytime they had the ball and felt that it would take; a touchdown to win." Lynch sped across on a fast pitchout from Williams after! a great lake to rietrosante who slanted inside tackle and got through to throw a block, which actually wasn't necessary because of the jump Lynch got on the Sooner defenders.

THE difference in the score was the extra point kicked by Hill. The conversion attempt by Lloyd Taylor, Aggie halfback, was wide and to the right. It was the first defeat for Texas in 15 games and the loss deprived the Aggies of at least immediate claim to the Southwest Conference championship.

Rice and Texas now join the Aggies in a showdown race for final two weeks of the title campaign. The defeat also knocked out of an immediate invitation to be host team at the Cotton Bowl. HILL SCORED the Rice touchdown from the one after R.Van had dirfcri a 7ft.yp.rr1 surge that began late in the first period. Quarterback Roddy Osborne powered over from the one to climax the scoring drive that began when the Aggies recovered a fumble on the Owl 14. THE ENTIRE third period was played in Rice territory, with the Owls halting threats that carried to the 16 and 11.

Rice came back in the final period for a 46-yard surge mai tailed with a fourth down incomplete pass from the four. Time ran out as made a desperate final bid. With four minutes to play. Hill punted out on the one. From that point, Osborne and a reserve quarterback.

Lfl Oklaho-tna's all-time record of 47 itraight football victories was Mattered yesterday by an underdog Notre Dame team that Siarched 80 yards in the clos-ig minutes for the all-impor-lant touchdown and a 7-0 triumph. Oklahoma, No. 2 ranked in tie nation and an 18-point fav-irile, couldn't move against the frck-wall Notre Dame line and the Sooners saw another of its Jiational records broken scoring In 123 consecutive games.

Although the partisan, sellout crowd of 62,000 came out for a Roman holiday, they were stunned into silence as the Sooners were unable to pull their usual last-quarter winning touchdowns a Wilkinson team trademark. AS THE game ended when Oklahoma's desperation passing drive was cut off by an in tercepted aerial, thecrowdl rose as one and suddenly gave the Notre Dame team a rousing cheer. It was a far cry from last year when the Sooners ran over Notre Dame, 40-0. The victory gave the Irish a 3-1 edge In the five-year-old series dating back to 1952.

THE SMASHING, rocking Notre Dame line didn't permit ihi Sooners to get started either on the ground or in the air. The Sooners were able to make only 98 yards on tha ground and in the air just 47. Notre Dame, paced by its brilliant, 210-pound fullback Nick Pietrosante, rolled up 169. In the air, the Irish gained 79 yards hitting nine of 20 passes, with Bob Williams doing most of the passing NOTRE DAME'S lone touch down drive, biting off short but consistent yardage against the Sooners' alternate team, carried from the 20 after an Oklahoma punt went into the end zone. Time after time, Piertrosante picked up the necessary yard when he needed as the Irish smashed through the Oklahoma line.

Notre Dame moved to the eight and the Sooner first team came in to try to make the third Sooner goal line stand of the day. PIERTROSANTE smashed four yards through center and Dick Lynch was stopped for no gain. On the third down, Wil liams went a yard through tenter. Then Lynch, crossed up the Sooners and rolled around his right end to score standing up. Monty Stickles converted to give Notre Dame the upset and end collegiate football's longest winning streak.

IN THE third period, brilliant punting by first string halfback Clendon Thomas and alternate quarterback David Baker kept Notre Dame back on its own goal line, but the Sooners couldn't capitalize. Thomas set punts down on the Notre Dame 14 and four and Baker put them down on the three and seven and waited for the breaks that have come the Sooners' way in the past to help them keep up their streak through 47 games.

M. Wl Wyoming's Cowboys ran over the University of New Mexico here yesterday for a 20-13 Skyline Conference football i 20-14 Bob Anderson 166 yards in 26 carries against an inspired Tulane team that has lost seven of nine starts. THIS WAS no "tuneup" for the Navy game as many Army fans expected. Tulane fought the Cadets right down to the wire and struck deep into Army territory after Anderson's winning touchdown. With Carlton Sweeney throwing strikes to his ends and halfbacks, Tulane got to the Army 28.

Then came the play that broke the back of this late rally. Sweeney's pass into the end zone, intended for Wil Ellzey, was deflected by Anderson into the hands of Dawkins for an interception. Army took the ball to its 20 and retained control. THE STATISTICS, showing Army with 21 first downs to Tulane's 10 and a yardage edge of 355-237, didn't really tell the story. Tulane put up a tremendous battle and looked like an upset winner until Dawkins and Anderson teamed up on the winning drive that covered 74 yards in five plays with Anderson carrying three times for 51 yards.

In this fifth success of the season, you could almost say iParrish 14, Vandy 7 and not be far wrong. THE JUNIOR halfback, a product of P. K. Yonge High School, raced for both Florida touchdowns on sprints of 45 and 23 yards, added the two extra points and fired a pass which would have produced another score, if Jim Rountree had held the ball. As if these contributions werent enough, Bernie also gave the Commodores a fit on defense.

He intercepted a pass to halt a Vandy advance in the fourth period, knocked down two passes to snuff out the Commodores' final scoring bid and led all the Gators in tackles with six stops and one assist. WITHOUT THIS tremendous performance, the Gators would have been hard pressed in notching their fourth South-eastern Conference victory against two defeats. Vandy's improved forces kept the pressure on Florida during most of a tense second half, after Phil King had put his team back in contention with an 88-yard kickoff return that set up the Commodores' lone touchdown. ALL THE SCORING was crammed into a five-minute stretch in the second period, but that wasn't the end of the excitement for an estimated crowd of 28,000. The first half ended with Vanderbilt on Florida's two, and a last-ditch effort in the closing minutes reached the Florida eight before a holding penalty got the Gators out of danger UNTIL ARRISH caught fire with his inspired performance, the script has closely followed the business against Mississippi State in the home-coming loss.
