(P). Butter fingered Oklahoma recovered its poise and blasted Kansas for four fourth quarter touchdowns Saturday, smothering the Jayhawk ers, 33 to 13, and running its record victory string to 28 straight football games. A CROWD of 39,000 fans hatched in 45 degree weather as the Oklahoma Sooners fumbled themselves into apparent defeat in the first three quarters and for fivt minutes of the final period. Then the Oklahomans struck vicioury to bring themselves ft decisive triumph and the longest victory strinr for a major college team in modern times. The Sooners coughed up the ball four times and lost it once on a pass interception while on the attack in the first half.

IT WAS also the first time in years that Oklahoma failed to score at least one touchdown on the ground. All Sooner scoring came on its own passing or Kansas aerial miscues. Kansas bad scored twice, nee on a Chet Strehlow to Lynn Smith pass for 54 yards In the second quarter, and ftgain on Halfback Wade Stin oon's 71 yard gallop early in the third, before the Sooners got busy.

Fox Cashell was good on one of his two conversion attempts to put Jayhawks ahead 13 0. Then the Oklahomans started moving. They quit fumbling and got together for a 78 yard scoring drive following the kickoff. Quarterback Claude Arnold, who threw for four touchdown passes during the afternoon, hit Sophomore Troy Keller for the first Okie score in the third period. Jim Weatherall converted but Oklahoma was still behind 7 13.

Kansas hung on gamely for another few minutes. But the turn of the final period meant disaster as Oklahoma tied it up. 13 13, on Arnold's 32 yard pass to End Jack Lockett. Arnold's third touchdown pitch, a honey to Halfback Bill Kess etis good for 51 yards, put Oklahoma into the lead to stay. Weatherall, a standout tackle on both offense and defense, again converted from placement and for all practical Kansas purposes the firing was over.

Kansas was frustrated and well beaten from that point on. Oklahoma scored its second of three touchdowns in a three minute span on Tom Calin's return of a pass interception from the 12 yard line. Weatherall again kicked the point and Oklahoma led 27 13. The last Oklahoma score came late in the period. This time it was a 16 yard Claude Arnold to John Reddell pass that did the trick.

Kansas lost much of its offensive punch when Charlie Hoag, sophomore halfback ace, left the laying field on a stretcher early the fourth quarter. Kansas was ahead at the time and Hoag had just completed a 13 yard pass to Smith for a first down on the Oklahoma 44. Oklahoma Knaa as 33 is cnrsncToUohdowni: Kl Oklahoma frr, ktt. Vraaaia, Catitn.
