Si With Ease By JOHN BRADBERRY Xhi a irrti ifiv i -v 4 Vv A Constitution Sports Editor SUGAR BOWL, NEW ORLEANS A. crimson tidal wave of Oklahoma Sooners turned the sixteenth annual Sugar Bowl igame into a private split-T party, New Orleans Dixieland style, yesterday with a 35-to-0 slaughter of LSU, the Southeastern Conference's bowl white hope, They sometimes refer to this game as a classic and there have been thrilling battles produced in I the past. But this one was strictly no contest 'after the first quarter, merely an exhibition by Bud Wilkinson's Sooners who ran up the largest margin of victory in history of the game, i George Thomas, Darrell Royal, Lindell Pearson and Leon Heath, Sooners' starting backfield, operated its split-T attack with i power, precision, finesse and intelligence all necessary elements of fine football team, i Indeed, some of the crowd of may call Oklahoma great STATISTICS Associated Press Wircphot (80), Oklahoma tackle, and another Oklahoma player as he drives ahead. Guard Norman Mc-Nabb (65) is the Oklahoma player at the left SUGAR BOWL ACTION LSU Fullback Ebert Van Buren, 17, plows along for a 3-yard gain in the first quarter of yesterday's Sugar Bowl football battle at New Orleans after taking a hand-off from Quarterback Charlie Pevey (23).

The LSU people laugh and say Taint so." Anyway, somebody came up with a picture of the alleged "spy." This picture was alleged to have been made by the official Oklahoma photographer. It has been further alleged that the accused character in the picture is said to bear a striking resemblance to Mr. Piggy Barnes, former LSU tackle now connected with the Philadelphia Eagles. So you can see how clear and definite the whole thing: is.

But if the man was Mr. Barnes, I am quite sure Picry had no intention of giving such information to Gus Tinsley, the LSU coach. I am also quite sure he was not scouting for the Philadelphia Eagles, since they had considerable success against Bud Wilkinson's All-Stars last August. My guess is the man was merely a candidate for the Florida coaching position and merely practicing tactics which help to make a successful coaching career in these days of NCAA sanity. No BrnfriPrlv Tnvp As T0U mav have suspected, all is not DIOUieny i.ove brotherly love here at the Sugar Bowl.

About the only folks who aren't miffed about something-are the visiting- writers who are enjoying: it all. Certain Sugar Bowl officials are resentful of what they believe is an unfair attitude on the part of Oklahoma about tickets and bringing its band here to the game. You will recall the publicity given the band episode. Oklahoma said it wouldn't send its musicians to perform for only for four minutes. Sugar Bowl people say Oklahoma didn't really want to send its band; it really had been allotted eight minutes at the half, and the whole idea was to save the $15,000 expense and use this money for a trip to Havana for the players.

As far as tickets are concerned. Sugar Bowl people say Oklahoma received as many as LSU and that their location in the stadium is just as good as the Tigers. Well, that about takes care of the Sugar Bowlers' gripes. Srnpr Tlnhannv rhe Sooners naturally are unhappy over aooners unnappy the episode But that isn't the start of their troubles. Oklahoma has had a grudge against LSU for a period of time and really didn't want to play the Tigers.

The trouble was supposed to have started several months ago when Ronald Dry, a tackle from Fairland, transferred to LSU. Dry, formerly played with Darrell Royal, the Sooner quarterback, ia high school. Then, too it is common knowledge around here that Wilkinson held out against LSU as the choice for an opponent for the Sugar Bowl for nearly 24 hours. The Sooner coach wanted either College of the Pacific, Villanova, or Baylor for the game. But the Sugar Bowlers wanted LSU and they are the guys who control the $125,000.

So they got LSU. The Oklahoma coach is also reported to have said he knew North Carolina's charges about wetting the field were true and he didn't care to play any school which would do that. Childish Stuff About the onlv thin2 is miffed about is uiuii charges made against it, which officials claim are grossly unfair. Especially do the Tigers resent the spying charges. "Even if the charges were true and the situation reversed, I would blame nobody but my own coaches," Athletic Director Red Heard remarked.

"They control who watches their practices. But, cf course, the charges are ridiculous." There are those who think the whole thing was trumped up to arouse Oklahoma out of a lackadasical attitude and get the players "up" for the game. Personally, the whole deal sounds fishy to me and I refused to believe it. I don't see how anybody armed with a pad, pencil, and handkerchief over his face can sit anywhere near a football practice and only be apprehended by a supporter of a team, a cop and a photographer, which apparently just happened along. And the most convincing argument I've heard against it came from a football coach who said, "In all due respects to Piggy Barnesi" who is a nice fellow, who in the world would send him on a scouting assignment?" The entire thing is amateurish and childish to me.

Not that there aren't colleges who would do such things. But they wouldn't do it in such a juvenile way.

Odlivak was on his knees at the three but he managed to scoop the ball into his arms just before it hit the ground. That was another first down and three plays later Jamerson rammed over. Bobby Brooks kicked the extra point. That was the way it ended at the half, although Kentucky had a brilliant march from its own 31 killed at the six-inch line when time ran out.
