Rob Layne, son of a Texas gridiron hero of the past, kicked a field goal Saturday to bring Texas a come, irom-behind 9-7 victory over Oklahoma in the 61st game between the two intersectional rivals. Rob, 0 father is Bobby Layne, a Texas great who became a star In pro football, booted the field goal from the Oklahoma early In the third period. Then Bill Bradley, finally living up to his super tag, led the Longhorns on an 84- yard surge in 10 plays for the touchdown that sewed it up and marked one of the great comebacks of football history.

Texas was badly ouplayed in the first half after Oklahoma rolled to a touchdown the first time it had the ball with Bob Warmack piloting the team with his running and passing and calling on Ron Shotts for a 41-yard dash that set up the score. All the first half Texas was on the defense, and only pass interceptions could halt the Oklahoma powerhouse. Texas never got past midfield and its longest drive was only 30 yards. The second half found a revitalized Texas that picked up by a recovered fumble, rolled to the Oklahoma 17 and Layne. a sophomore from Lubbock, kicked the field goal that furnished the points for victory.

Oklahoma, undefeated and unscored on in two games this year, fought to the Texas 11 with only minutes left and from the 18 Mike Vachon missed a field goal. A 49-yard run by sophomore Steve Owens had got Oklahoma roiling on its tast drive. Bradley ran for 86 yards on 20 carries and completed six of 13 passes for 74 as the kingpin of the Texas offense. It was ninth victory in 10 years and brought coach Darrell Royal of Texas a tie with former coach Bud Wilkinson of 0 1 a- horna. It was 38th victory in the series.

When Larry Shepard was named manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, it was a victory for all those who believe in what they think. always know how you stand with Nebraska assistant coach and close friend George Kelly once he like something, tell you about It was this bluntness which many thought was keeping him out of the major leagues after many successful seasons in the minor leagues, including two Western League pennant winners with the Lincoln Chiefs in 1956 and 1957. Bluntness Paid Off But in the long run (and for Larry, it was a long run), it may have been this bluntness that finally paid off.

Perhaps it until he had left the Pittsburgh organization that Pirate officials discovered how valuable Shepard was to their system. A year ago, Shepard, feeling he might have reached the end of the line with the Pirates, left their organization to accept an offer from Gene Mauch to join him as pitching coach at Philadelphia. The gruff-voiced Lincoln resident, showing some bitterness at not getting a shot as major league manager, told this writer a year ago: keep passing me up because they say I have major league experience. a good thing our country run the way the major leagues are run. much experience does a president of the United States have for being president before he becomes president.

Differences With Brown Shepard had had his differences with Pittsburgh general manager Joe L. Brown during his days in the Pirates chain, but when Brown began searching for a successor to Harry Walker, who was fired at mid-season, one of his first thoughts was of Shepard. and I talked about the job a couple of months the 48-year-old manager explained via telephone from Pittsburgh, he had done that with a lot of Shepard learned Monday that he had the job, but the Pirates waited until the end of the World Series to make the announcement. glad to be back with the he says. was with them for so long, that I feel at home One thing Shepherd learned during his 26 years in the minor leagues is that there is no set formula for winning.

I think I know of 20 right now, who would like to have One of the problems Walker had with the Pirates was clubhouse meetings in which the players kept him have some clubhouse Shepherd says lialf-jokingly in reference to the dissension that is supposed to exist on the Pirates, be in Shepard now joins such feUows as Bob Devaney and Bob Gibson in putting Nebraska more solidly on the sports map. a great break for Shepherd and a great one for Lincoln.
