One on a 28-yard from Len Dawson and the other on a one-yard off-tackle slash.

The Oiler romped to a touchdown the first time they got the ball in the second half with George Blanda flipping 15-yards lo Willard Dewveall for th? score. The Oiler defense, sparked by reserve end Bill Wegcner. tackle Ed Husmann and linebacker 3oug Cline. proceeded to throw a tight halter on Dawson's passing arm and the running of the Texans dual fullbacks Jack Spikes and Curtis McCIinton. While the defense kept the Texans bottled up in then- own end of the field in the last half.

Blanda engineered two more scoring drives, one ending on a one-yard pluge by Charlie Tolar and the other on a 31-yard Blanda field goal to tie the score. But in the end, Blanda and his most famous receiver Charlie Hennlgan, proved the goats to the Oiler loss.

So did the turned into Texan points with Bill south, whether you're talking about Its team or its sportsmanship. There were no protests. And it was Richardson, a man frcrn Jackson, where they have known more than their share of segregation troubles, and Florida's own Paremore, who won it for the South. They had lots of help, naturally. There was the thread-needle pitching of Kentucky's Jerry Woolum.

who hit P.ichardson for the first South touchdown and reached his own teammate, Dave Gash, for the winning two-pointer. There was Randy Kerbow of Rice who had thrown only one pass and disgustedly seen it go incomplete. But in that latt minute he whipped a 30-yard strike to Richardson and big Willie tot ed it the other 50 yards for an electrifying score. Yet in the final analysis the two men who picked the South up off the floor were Richardson and Paremore, playing with a desire made more fierce by years of denial. Paremore limped into the game in the final quarter and it was interception just 44-seconds left in i the "fifth Barter" to set Brooker's winning three-pointer.
