6C High Point Enterprise, Sunday. October 10, 1976 Sooners Settle For Longhorn Tie A A A Oklahoma scored the tying touchdown with 1:28 left to play Saturday, but former manager i Craig's extra point snap sailed over the holder's head and the Sooners had to settle for a 6-6 tie with the Texas Longhorns. The tie severely damaged the third-ranked Sooners' a a i consecutive national title. Oklahoma appeared to have climbed out of the grave for a fourth quarter winning touchdown when Horacy Ivory skirted left end from one yard out with 1:38 left to play. Craig's snap sailed over holder Bud Hebert's hands and in desperation kicking i a i bchamann lobbed a pass which was intercepted by Longhorn defensive back Steve Collier.

The bizarre end to the game was set up when Texas' to Oklahoma's Zac Henderson with 5:25 to play. Texas led at that point 6-0 on the strength of Russell Erxleben's field goals of 37 and 11 yards. President Ford, a national television audience, and a sellout crowd of 72,000 in the Cotton Bowl witnessed the fumblefilled contest as Texas Coach Darrell Royal tried to defeat his rival counterpart Barry Switzer for the first time. Royal had charged game a Oklahoma had spied on Texa a i prompting a bitter retort from Switzer. Until Suber's fumble, the 16th ranked Longhorns had smothered Oklahoma's self- destruct offense, holding it to only one first down.

In fact, the 71st renewal of Ihe series resembled trench warfare as each team punted six teams in the first period alone. a a quarterback Thomas Lott, who had not played since the second game of the year, was shoved into the breech after No. 1 quarterback Dean Blevins was sidelined with 'a groin injury. Lott was uncertain at the controls, but performed well in the clutch 37-yard scoring drive that had appeared to put the struggling Horns away. Ivory's touchdown run averted Oklahoma's first shutout in 112 games or since 1966.

The frustrated Longhorns, a a Oklahoma in six years, owned a 3-0 halftime lead when Ivory's fumble late in the First half put Texas in position for Erxleben's 37-yard field goal. Erxleben kicked a 41-yard field goal early in the fourth period, giving the Horns a 6-0 lead. more It was the first tie in the series since 1937. Texas still has the overall series edge 42-26-3. Unbeaten Oklahoma is now 4-0-1, while Texas is 2-1-1.

The Longhorns squandered excellent field positions in the first half.

The Buckeyes scored on their first three possessions, with sophomore quarterback Rod Gerald getting the first on a 17yard run to cap an 82- yard drive. Tom Skladany, the nation's leading punter the last two years, kicked four extra points and field goals of 26 and 46 yards in the contest dominated by the 10th rated Buckeyes. Johnson tied the ference scoring record of 46 touchdowns in Ohio State's second possession when he plunged over from the one.

He set the record on another one-yard run in the next series, set up when tackle Eddie Beaman recovered a Hawkeye fumble on Iowa's 20. Skladany kicked a 26-yard field goal, set up by Johnson's 45-yard to end first-half scoring at 24-0. Ohio State improved to 2-0 in the conference and 3-1-1 overall Iowa dropped to 0-2 and 2-3.

(AP) Sixth-ranked Nebraska, stung by four Colorado field goals in the first half, rallied behind the clutch passing of Vince Ferragamo and hard rnning by second-string Iback Richard Berns to defeat the Buffaloes 24-12 Saturday in the Big Eight football opener for both teams. With First Lady Betty Ford a part of the record Folsom Field crowd of 53,538, the rebounded from a 12-7 halftime deficit to boost their season record 4-0-1 and post their ninth straight triumph over Colorado. The Buffaloes, now 3-2, got four field goals from senior walk-on Mark Zetterberg that accounted for all of their scoring. Colorado, contained a a i defense, threatened to score only once in the second half.

But Zetterberg's 21-yard, fourth quarter field goal try was blocked by the Huskers' Dave Butterfield. The Huskers. who lost both of their first-string running backs to injuries in the first half, drove from their own eight-yard line for a third a Ferragamo completed three straight passes to finish the drive, including a nine-yard TD toss to reserve wingback Curtis Craig.

A --Quarterback Kim Ellis shocked a Georgia with two quick second-quarter touchdowns a a i Mississippi Rebels to a 21-17 upset of the previously unbeaten Bulldogs.

Ellis, taking advantage of two big breaks, ran five yards for one touchdown and then whipped a 36-yard bomb to tailback Reg Woulard just a i i Southeastern Conference battle. Ellis' effort staked he Rebels to an 18-14 halftime lead and offset two offensive thunderbolts by Georgia quarterback Ray Goff. It was the first loss in five games for the Bulldogs, and it left them 1-1 in the SEC. Mississippi, now 2-1 in the conference, is 4-2 overall. Goff raced 70 yards for a touchdown on the Buldogs' third play of the game, then gave his team a 14-3 lead by connecting with flanker Gene Washington on a 75-yard passrun play for a touchdown early in the second quarter.

Mississippi held the ball for all but 97 seconds in the first quarter, but could score only on Hoppy Langley's 44- yard field goal. But the Rebels charged into the lead after the first of the two big breaks. That was linebacker Eddie Cole's a i Williams' fumble at the Georgia 25. Mike Pittman knocked the ball losse with a jarring tackle. Ellis raced in for the touchdown on Mississippi's a a recovery.

Mississippi got the ball back at the Georgia 36 after a nineyard punt from Bucky Dilts. Top-Ranked Michigan Toys With Spartans ANN ARBOR, Mich.

On a rain-soaked field, Dorsett ran for 130 yards on 30 carries to boost his career rushing total to 4,799 yards. That moved him past Ed Marinaro's previous second place total of 4,715 yards at Cornell. Dorsett needs 379 yards to surpass Archie Griffith's all-time high of 5,177 yards with Ohio State. Cavanaugh scored a pair of touchdowns on runs of 17 and six yards to help Pitt to a 27-0 lead midway of the second quarter.

However, he sustained a hairline fracture of the fibula bone just above his left ankle on a keeper play with a minute left before the half. He was expected to miss the next three or four games, and it was a serious blow to an unbeaten team that lost i a a a Haygood. with lorn knee ligaments just three weeks ago.

The Spartans, who threw 46 passes to set a school record, a i touchdown opportunities thwarted by the Michigan defense. After Michigan State's defense stopped the Wolverines on the goal line, the Spartans drove to the Wolverine 11 in the closing moments of the first half, only to have John Anderson intercept a Smith pass. the Spartans, who earlier in the fourth quarter made a second goal-line stand against Michigan, had their own drive stopped on the Michigan one on the last play of the game.
