Hoyal had high praise for the battling Sooners, who were eighth ranked in the nation going into the game. "They jumped on us like a dog on a bone the first quarter." he said. "They kicked with wind, their defense jammed us back and then they took the ball and stuffed it down our throats. They overshifted on defense and it was confusing.

They were on us like white on rice and that is completely covered I would say." The Sooners shocked Texas by jumping to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. "Oklahoma had all the momentum in the first a then we came out and took over," said Texas quarterback James Street. "They did a good job of de- fensing our triple option all day long better than anybody we ever played. It was hard to read shifts. They came out real aggressive." Texas rallied to go into the dressing room at half time with a 14-14 tie.

"They scared us to death." Worster said. "They have a great team. But our passing opened up ihe second half and we were able to go on to win." Texas tackle Bill Atessis praised Oklahoma back Steve Owens who set a big eight rushing record. "He is one of the great ones." Atessis said "If you don't get right in front of him and stick him in the chest he's got five yards or more." A dejected Owens said. "It is beginning to look like it is just not meant for us to win this game But I got nothing but praise for our defense.

They played a heck of a game." "We drove the hall well for a while but mistakes and penalties really killed us." said OU quarterback Jack Mildren. Oklahoma coach Chuck Fairbanks said.

The 15-round battle is sel for the Forum in suburban Inglewood in the same arena where the 29-year-old Napoles, a fugitive from Cuba and now a hero in Mexico, won the championship with a 13th round knockout over Curtis Cokes last Feb. 15. Napoles, known as Mantequilla which translates to smooth, as in butter, stopped the aging Cokes in 11 rounds in Mexico City June 29 in a return engagement.

Griffith, 30, was in and out of the 147-division throne room before vacating the title when he won the world middleweight title from Dick Tiger in 1966.

Feller's first field goal put Texas briefly into the lead in the third period but a 22-yard field goal with the wind brought Oklahoma into a 17-17 tie in the see-saw battle by Bruce Derr. The Longhorns then took advantage of the wind to drive to the Oklahoma two-yard line to set up Feller's field goal. But the game was in doubt until King's costly misque. The loss over shadowed a great performance by Owens who set a Big Eight career rushing record. Owens gouged 123 yards in 30 carries through the touted Texas line.

His total of 2,760 yards breaks the three year record of 2,675 yards previously held by Gale Savers of Kansas. Although he suffered three interceptions. Street hit nine of 18 passes for 215 yards. The fleet Speyrer speared eight of the tosses for 160 yards.

Texas gained only 158 yards rushing. Mildren connected nine of 15 passes for 84 yards but Texas swiped two of the tosses. Workhorse Roy Bell sliced 101 yards through the Texas defensive line in 24 carries. The big ground gainer for the Longhorns was Worster who carried 18 times lor 63 yards. Missouri Keeps Slate Unmarred COLUMBIA, Mo.

A Terry McMillan fired two touch down passes, the first a 69-yard shocker and the other a short one set up by the defense, as undefeated Missouri dropped Nebraska 17-7 Saturday in their Big Eight football opener. The game came down to four big plays. The first two went Missouri's way and the seventh- ranked Tigers built up a 14- point halftime lead. On Missouri's second play of the game McMillan heaved the ball 49 yards lo Mel Gray who carried it in the rest of the way untouched. Defensive end Sam Brown, spearheading a defensive line that kept Nebraska quarterback Steve Tagge hurried, harried, and horizontal much of the time, ilammed tht ball loose at the 16 and recovered it himself.

On the third play, with nine seconds left in the half, McMillan rifled an 8-yard touchdown pass to end Tom Shryock. The halftime lead seemed luxurious as the Tiger defense con- lined to stymie the Cornhuskers. Nebraska had no for the long pass and no room for the short ones, but kept trying them anyway. During the first half they had been able to gain only 11 yards rushing. It was the 20th ranked Corn- huskers' turn in the third quarter when Tagge hit i with a 10-yard pass that Kinney turned into a 77-yard touchdown.

Missouri's Jon Staggers came up with the fourth big play when he returned the following kickoff 41 yards to the Tiger 48. A few plays later Henry Brown booted a 48-yard i goal that iced the game.
