Three of O. terrestrial Tarzans swarmed around Crain and it appeared that he would be tossed for a loss. Cowboy Jack appeared stopped for certain when he slowed up momentarily, but that cunning change of pace accomplished just what Crain reasoned It would. The Sooners were thrown off guard, then Crain spurted from their grasp to the sideline. No tight-rope walker ever did a neater job than Crain he sped down that side line.

He whirled and eluded a tackier about midfield, then cut back into the opening, outrunning the three Sooner backs who tried to nab him in the chase to the goal. His attempt to convert from placement was blocked. Sooner Strike The Sooners struck back with fury. Matthews returned the kick-off to near midfield, then Martin passed to Coppadge, who lateraled to Matthews for a 34-yard gain that carried to the Texas 26. Martin then passed to' Coppadge who appeared headed for a score when he fumbled tne ball down on the five-yard line The ball rolled on across the goal and into the end zone for a touch-back.

The Sooner fans groaned when the ball wa: given to Texas on the 20-yard line, for they were afraid Crain might get his hands on the ball again. Texas fans, still praising Crain for hfs work on the first run, came to their feet again as Patrick crashed through the line for a nine-yard gain that placed the ball at the same point from which Crain had started his 71-yard run. The Steers lined up in single wing formation with Crain back. He took the snap from center and with a burst of speed shot through an opening at right tackle. He was going at full speed when he "exploded" into the surprised Sooner secondary The line backer lunged for him but bit the dust.

Sensing another chance to score Crain picked up momentum and deftly sidestepped an O. U. half. back down near midfield. Then he cut back again, making the safety man iook silly as he left him grasp ing desperately into space.

Sooners Cut Loose Three Sooners trieato catch him but they had about as much chance as they would with a Texas jack-rabbit. Again the Sooner forwards surged through to block Crain's attempt to convert from placement. Wow, the booners were leading only 17-12 and Texas fans were whooping it up merrily, hopine for Crain to get his hands on the ball again. Texas got the ball a few plays later, but Crain elected to try and shove the Sooners back into a hole with a quick kick, but his boot went out of bounds on the O. U.

37. Changing their tactics of the tast the Sooners decided to throw caution to the wind as they took the offense. They were determined to strengthen their lead. This they did in five plays from their own 37. Matthews, the fastest back in modern O.

U. football history, broke through the line and ran 21 yards before Puett chased him out on the Texas 42. Matthews passed to Ivy for six yards, then Jennings lost one. Fredericks subbed for Matthews and passed to Ivy, who made a great catch down on the Texas 8-yard line, after Crain had ap parently knocked the ball down. It was a 29-yard gain.

Penalty Hurts The Steers, fighting to avoid a score, were too anxious and were penalized for being offside. This set them back to the two-yard line and fixed the scene for Seymour's touchdown dive. Again Favor converted to make the score Oklahoma 24. Texas 12. The Steers got the ball again and tried to shake Crain loose but the Sooners were on the alert and held him in check.

The defeat ended Ttxas' short victory streak of the young season but it did not darken their prospects of making headway up the comeback trail. The short-manned Longhorn squad was just no match for the bigger, more experienced and more rugged Sooners. Tom Stidham displayed the same great defense of last year, a hard-charging, football-loving line that throttled the Longhorn attack, except when Crain was on he loose. Those great ends John Shirk and Frank and their substitutes rushed Texas' passers and kickers off their feet, and they crashed through repeatedly to spill the ball carriers for no gain. They were given expert assistance by the entire line that featured among others.

Ralph Stevenson, the rough and ready guard, and Cactus Face Dug-gan. tackle. To say the Sooners played rough would be putting it mildly. They made the game even rougher than it is supposed to be, but they got by with it in most instances. Offensively, Clark and Matthews, who subbed for the injured Jack Jacobs, Favor and Seymour were Sooner standouts.

And let us not forget those pass receivers w-ho made great catches after maneuvering into position. The Sooner offense, with good passes mixed with deceptive and powerful runs, was the most devastating a Texas team has faced in manv seasons. Crain was virtually the whole show offensively for the Longhorns. He carried four times for a net gain of 146 yards, an average of 36 5 per try. The other Texas backs gained Continued on page 14, col.

These photographs by Acme illustrate the forward drive and aggressiveness with which the Oklahoma Sooners surged into the Texas Longhorns for their 24-12 victory at Dallas Saturday.

(AP) Bald Homer Norton, the grid iron master of Aggieland, turned loose a Texas hurricane here Saturday that flattened the forces of Villanova college like pancakes, burying the hitherto unbeaten Wildcats under a 33-7 score. Norton's greatest Texas A. M. team blew with tempestuous fury to pile up all its points in the first half, then with second and third stringers doing most of the work coasted the remainder of the way. Seen by 14,000 A crowd of 14,000 witnessed the game, played as a climaxing feature of the annual Rose festival.

The tilt was a rough-and-tumble affair with several of the opposing players threatening to take pokes at each other. The Aggies scored early in the first quarter with big John Kim-brough who played less than a third of the game, smashing over from the two-yard line. Bill Dawson missed the goal. The Texans had another touch- (Continued on page 16, col. 6) ans' scoring chances.

Early in the game, Rice fumbled away a probable touchdown when Ernie Lain rammed into the L.S.U. line and lost his grip when hit hard. The ball bounced over the goal line and was recovered by L.S.U.'s Jake Messina.

In the third period Rice kept the ball in L.S.U. territory most of the time and had a first down on the 15-yard line. An interception broke up that attack.

Then Rice went to the 18-yard line but Halfback Olie Cordill fumbled after snaring a toss. Bussey recovered. Carnegie Tech Defeats Case CLEVELAND, Oct. 14. (UP) Carnegie Tech's unbeaten and un-scored upon Skibos trampled the Case Rough Riders.

Jack Sanders, big lineman, failed to make the extra point on a touchdown scored after a blocked Notre Dame punt had given the invaders possession on the Irish two-yard line. Seconds later Notre Dame had its third straight victory of the season in the books and Before a crowd of 20000 that cheered the Owls to their first victory of the season. Temple compressed all of its scoring into the third quarter. In the closing minutes of the final period, the Owls still had enough stamina left to take the ball on downs after a pass interference penalty had given T.C.U. a first down on the Temple 1-yard line.

Cowart Is Good For the first half, with Rusy Cowart pitching in a style that would have done credit to his T.C.U. predecessors, Sammy Baugh and Davey O'Brien, the Texans definitely had Temple on the run. Cowart hung footballs in the air and his hauled them down for all sorts of yardage.
