With fourth and inches at the Oklahoma 29, Charlie Winters, a 217-pound sophomore fullback from Joliet 111., blasted over tackle, ran over two men and scored.

It was the ninth straight victory over AIM and allowed the embattled Longhorna to finish the season as winners. They wound up with a -4 record.

The Aggies finished at 3-7. The. gritty Aggies, with Ken (Dude) McLean putting on a tremendous pass-receiving exhibition, battered the Longhorns thither and yon in the first half as a crowd of 40,000 screamed itself hoarse. McLean also combined with Harry Ledbetter and Jim Kauf-mann on the trick play that netted 91 yards and a touchdown. The play that shocked Tens in the first half went like this: Ledbetter threw toward Kauffman standing near the sidelines even with him.

Tlr ball rolled on the ground and Ledbetter slapped his hands in feigned disgust. Kaufmanh kicked the turf to show he was disgusted, too. Meanwhile, McLean had gotten in the clear at the 50 and Kauffmann lofted a mighty pass. McLean grabbed the bail and sprinted for a touchdown. Ledbetter's passing and McLean's receiving were the ingredients of the first half drive that seemed to have the Aggies on the way to victory.

That spurred Tulsa's offense which came back in seven plays to tie it. Anderson hit seven for seven in the drive and, includ ing luisa next series, had a string of 15 straight eomple tions.

Oklahoma coach Gomer Jones saw Wilson's 66-yard go-ahead touchdown early in the third quarter as the game's turning point for the "big and strong" Huskers. "That guy's devastating," said Oklahoma halfback Ben Hart. "We played hard and well, the best we knew how," said. Jones. "I don't like to use the term, but we sure 'gutted' it out with them."
