Nearly every back on the Aggie roster took a hand in the satisfying victory. Coach Jim Lookabaugh employed all 36 of the hands he brought along and must have whipped out a majority of the Cowboys' offensive plays for the exciting contest.

TEMPLE'S hopes were all wrapped up in one man, little Phil Slosburg, and what a back he turned out to be. Carrying almost the entire offensive load, the 167-pound fullback ran 208 yards, passed 58 more, returned kicks for 57 yards and averaged 34.3 yards on seven punts. But it would have taken more than Slosburg to turn the tide on the Aggies, who appeared at last to have their feet on the turf as- they ground out their third victory in seven starts. For Temple it was the third defeat against the same number of wins. Both teams missed fine chances in the scoreless first quarter due to penalties, fumbles and interceptions as they raced through an aerial Hartman missed his first conversion attempt of the season and the Aggies were leading 6-0, at half- A TEMPLE fumble and recovery A by Charley Shaw, Aggie tackle, gave the Cowboys their second scoring chance.

ROOF picked up a yard before Bob Cook, freshman quarterback, replaced Hartman. who had been playing a whale of a game. On his first play young Cook loosed a long pass to Merlin London, a sensational end all day long, and the long-legged former halfback galloped 47 yards to the Temple 30.

However penalties frequently slowed the pace as 135 yards were stepped off. The magic shoe didn't quite fit for OU's new "Cinderella" backfleld and it was the veteran George Brewer who established a two-touchdown pace as coach Bud Wilkinson elected to allow most of his Oldtimcrs to carry the burden, after opening the game with the Oklahoma capitalized on several breaks, and scored on several more of their own making, with long dashes eventually paying off in full for the Sooners.
