A fumble and a pass interception gave the Tulsans a pair of cheap touchdowns in that bewildering section of the second period after the Tulsans had counted with a crunching 71 yard march to their initial touchdown. It was Tulsa's day all the way Saturday in the balmy 72-degreo temperature as OSU lost all three of its fumbles and had two aerials picked off at inopportune times. The Hurricane fumbled three First downs rtiinlnff First downs passing First downs ptnalllea ltuihinr yardara Passing yardafe from there with sallies of son's eighth-ranked Tigers wore down Vandcrbilt in the last quarter Saturday night to win a rough fumble-marked game, 12-7. Har-vev White scored both touch and 2 before Keeling powered his Kentucky's pass defense in tne second half Saturday night and southpaw Lloyd Nix pitched the nation's No. 1 team to an 8-0 victory in the Southeastern conference football headliner.

Nix found halfback Jimmy Las-ter wide open down the middle on the second play of the fourth quarter and pitched a 43-yard scoring strike to his senior halfback. Auburn added a safety In the fourth when Kentucky's Calvin Bird was caught in his endzone trying to return a punt. Streak Reaches 17 Kentucky entered the game with the country's best pass defense and its credentials held perfectly until the third period. Auburn had failed on 10 straight pitches when "Nix began to hit his receivers in vital situations and the Tigers maintained their winning streak, now at 17 games. Kentucky, the SEC's offensive leader, ripped through the mam- from a foot downs, the last one with nine seconds remaining.

Only at limes did Oklahoma reveal tho effectiveness of its West Virginia opener. Texas frequently used tho eight-man defense employed so successfully tho provious week by Oregon. This wasn't billed as much of a passing team, yet the Steers in reality won through the alrlanes, led by Matthews' eight connections on 10 heaves for 123 yards. Texas used pass to break the scoring Ice and lead, S4, at the half. After that tho game's rapid etb and flow were hard to keep up with as OU pulled up to 8-8, led by 14-8, only to succumb down the stretch.

Only occasionally could the Sooncrs get their multiple of-fenso untrncked, and even though they rolled to 201 ground yards to Texas' mere 57, it was the overhead that meant the difference 153 air yards for tho Royals to only 02 for Bud Wilkinson's losers who saw a five-game streak snapped. OU's Brewster Hobby ripped off 50 yards on IS carries for top rushing honors, followed by teammate David Bolle (eight for 39) and Texan Mike Dowdle (10 for 32). Oklahoma had a first down edgo of 16-12 but exactly as thej had done so many times in the two previous games of 1951 the Sooncrs again bogged badly In close, in this give-and-take battling Texas showed how keenly it wanted the decision by stopping Big Red drives insldo the 20 on four occasions. Too, tho nod might have gone to the Sooncrs if a field' goal effort had zeroed in during the second quarter, but Ronnie Harlline missed from 12 yards out actually from the 20. Texas carried tho fight to Oklahoma right from the start, preventing a first down throughout the first quarter.

David Baker, enjoying a splendid kicking day, had TU In trouble with a 65-yard punt that Blanch tried to handle, fumbling to Lackey on the Steer one-foot line. Jakio Sandefcr aimed Oklahoma gonlwnrd on the ensuing punt but two long penalties dulled that threat. The Longhorn No. 2's gave Oklahoma a large scare late in the first period, led by the unsung Bobby Matocha. OU rushed in its starters as Texas banged Inalde the 40 but Matthews threw to Klco Halm for 30 yards on tho OU 3.

The play was made possible as Baker slipped and fell, trying to cover. Texas received an offside penalty and at quarter's end It was fourth and goal on the four. As the second period got under way. the Longhorn bid failed on Lackey's pitch through the endzone. When Baker had to punt Texas was set up on its 48, spinning the 52 yards In six plays while jumping into its surprise lead of M.

Lackey whipped the ball 37 yards to slippery Rene Ramirez, carrying to the OU 16. Don Allen and Blanch craekftd to the 20 and hera Ramirn, running to his left, got off a soft touchdown lob to Blanch in the endzone. Texas went for the pressurizing two pointer after TO and Allen rammed left tackle for the 8-0 accounting. Two long but futile drives allowed Oklahoma to- dominate the remainder of the second quarter. Bobby Boyd got the first in motion with 21-yard kickoff return.

Tulsa Pulls Away preserved was that for scoring and their two last-halt touch times but the ball was bouncing rislit and they did not lose one downs stretched the string to 11 That opened the flood gates and before the Cowboys could regain their saddles Tulsa was running away with the game, 18-0.

But Clemson, denied a first-quarter touchdown on fullback Rudy Hayes' goalline fumble, roared back for two final-period touchdowns. White scored the first on a one-yard plunge and the second from the three.

The first wound up a 76-yard drive and the second one a few minutes later climaxed a march that rolled up 265 net yards crew was in for a hard afternoon as the Tulsa forwards started out kickoff to its own 38 before lady luck frowned. Halfback Vernon Sewell was trying a running pass to the left when a "Tulsa forward broke through and hit his arm.
