Pruitt Scores Pace Oklahoma Rout Lincoln Sunday Tournai and Stof Oct. 10, 17H 8 C. Continued from Page 1C Oklahoma coach Chuck Fairbanks said: a chore to stop Wishbone. We executed the offense today. We had the better end of the Wishbone this Oklahoma quarterback Jack Mildren said: believe we should be ranked number one after It was first defeat of the year against three losses and the first time the Longhorns had lost to the Sooners since 1966.

It was the most points scored against Longhorn coach Darrell Royal since he came to Texas and was the most yardage ever yielded by his team. Oklahoma piled up a 31-21 halftime lead after Texas took brief leads of 7-0 and 14-7 in the early going. Reserve quarterback Donnie Wigginton sped to touchdowns on runs of 5, and 44 yards and halfback Jim Bertelsen pulled three yards for another touchdown as Texas hung tough against the determined Sooners. But Roy Bell ran three yards for a touchdown for the Sooners and John Carroll kicked a 26yard field goal with one second left to give Oklahoma a big halftime lead. Quarterback Jack Mildren of the Sooners scored on runs of 7, and one yard in the second half and Carroll kicked a 27-yard field goal.

The only other Texas score was on a 15-yard run by Bertelson. It was only third loss in 15 games as coach at Texas against his old alma mater. The game was a sweet victory for Sooner coach Chuck Fairbanks who installed the Wishbone offense last year in an attempt to surprise Texas, and the Sooners were drubbed 41-9. The 66th renewal of the rivalry began with Texas driving 44 yards after an Oklahoma fumble and Wigginton, subbing for number one quarterback Eddie Phillips, rammed it across from five yards out. The Sooners quickly retaliated on a 46-yard run by Pruitt which set up his one- yard touchdown run.

A 44-yard run by Wigginton and a three- yard run by Tell left it tied 1414. But runs of 4 and 20 yards by Pruitt in the second quarter put Oklahoma comfortably in the lead to stay before 73,580 fans in the Cotton Bowl, which saw the series record now 42-22-2 in favor. ou 14 17 7 10-48 UT 14 7 6 0-27 5, run (Valek kick) 1 run (Carroll kick) 44, run (Valek kick) 3, run (Carroll kick) 4, run (Carroll kick) 20, run (Carroll kick) 3, run (Valek kick) Carroll 26 7, run (Carroll kick) IS, run (kick failed) Carroll 27 1, run (Carroll kick) Okla.

(UPI) Quarterback Brent Blackman hit Steve Pettus with a six- yard touchdown pass with 68 seconds left in the game Saturday night to bring the Oklahoma State Cowboys from behind to a 14-14 deadlock with Texas Christian. Oklahoma State field goal kicker Uwe Preuss missed a 39- yard field goal attempt with 28 seconds left in the game which would have given the Cowboys their third victory of the year. The only other touchdown of the night came in the third quarter on a 19-yard run by Tommy Woods. The Texas Christian got its points on two big plays 59- yard run by fullback Bobby Davis and a 54-yard pass from Steve Judy to fleet Freddie Pouncey.

Other than the four touchdowns, the game was marked by a lackluster offensive performance and a rash of turnovers. TCU, for instance, had not made a first down until the play before touchdown run late in the first period. Davis, who ran 19 times for 167 yards, got that first down with a 21-yard run just before he set sail on his 59 yarder. On his touchdown trip Davis broke through the middle of the line, cut to his right and outran Olenn Bonner to the end zone. The Horned Frogs had also made just two downs in the second half when Judy hit Pouncy with the 54-yard bomb which drifted just over the outstretched fingers of Cowboy Tom Carraway.

touchdown came after Oklahoma biggest gainer of the night a 24-yard pass from quarterback Brent Blackman to Dick Graham, plus a 15-yard penalty for piling on that was attached. That put the ball on 19 from where Woods ran in. The tying touchdown was set up by a six-yard punt by John Hetherly whicTi left the ball at the Horned 36. Oklahoma quickly took the ball in to score, but instead of going for two points and the win the Cowboys went for a tie. On the ensuing onside kickoff Oklahoma State recovered at 49.

Blackman negotiated the Cowboys down to eight, but a penalty set Oklahoma State back to the 22, at which point field goal went wide. It was his second missed field goal attempt of the night.

The Omaha Knights skated to a 5-1 victory over Des Moines Saturday night in an exhibition hockey game here. Eugene Sobscuk stole a puck to give the Oakleafs a 1-0 lead in the first period. But Brian Lefley evened the game up about four minutes later and the Knights then added three more goals in the second period and another in the third period. before monster back Dave picked off a pass to end that threat. Prior to that, only appearances in Husker territory came when the Tigers recovered a Bill Olds fumble at the Husker.

42 early in the game and when an NU personal foul moved the Tigers from their own 46 to the NU 39 midway in the third quarter. On that Tiger intrusion, Missouri advanced to the Husker 15 before Bill Kosch picked off a pass at the one- yard line to keep the NU goal line untouched. After bending, but refusing to break under Husker pressure in the first quarter, the Tiger defense finally did break in the second stanza when NU went on a 67-yard scoring drive in 14 plays. Large Chunks Tagge picked up large chunks of yardage on that drive with passes of 13 yards to Johnny Rodgers and 10 yards to Bill Olds, plus rolling out on his own for a 15-yard scamper. The rest of the yardage was gobbled up on thrusts up the middle by Jeff Kinney and Olds, running behind superb blocking by the middle of the offensive line, center Doug Dumler, tackles Daryl White and Carl Johnson and guards Keith Wortman and Dick Rupert.

Kinney got the final yard, going through a hole opened by right guard Wortman and right tackle Johnson, with 8:42 left in the first half. later, the Husker Monte Johnson was inserted at middle guard where it was thought his 6-6 height might help on the rush should Missouri decide to try a quick kick on third down from their own six, a tactic they had used twice previously. Strategy Works The strategy worked as Johnson burst through to block Jack quick kick attempt and the baU squirted through the back of the end zone for a safety, giving the Huskers a 9-0 lead with 4:47 left the first half. The Tigers try tlie quick kick again. After taking the Missouri kick that foilowed the safety, the Huskers moved methodicaily 55 yards in 14 plays for another tally with 1:13 still left in the half.

The Huskers twice were faced with fourth and one situations. The first came at the Missouri 46 where a punt might have been the strategic thing to do. But head coach Bob Devaney, showing he had confidence in his offense, let them go for it and Tagge sneaked for the yard needed. The second came at the Missouri 7. This time Tagge called on Kinney, who dived for two yards.

Tagge handed to Kinney twice more, the second one a three-yard burst for the touchdown and Rich placement made it 16-0 at half time. It take the Huskers long in the second half to make it 23-0, going 72 yards in only six plays the time they had the ball. Two of those six plays were passes, from Tagge to Kinney to move the ball from the NU 31 to the Missouri 33, and from Tagge to Rodgers, covering 28 yards for the touchdown. Rodgers took the pass at the five and carried Tiger Lorenzo Brinkley piggy-back style into the end zone with 7:57 left in the third quarter. Score Mounts Up The next time the Huskers got the ball, it was 30-0 before the Tigers got it back on the kickoff.

This drive covered 81 yards in 15 plays. Tagge hit Woody Cox with a 20-yard pass, Rodgers with a 25-yarder, both on third and long yardage situations, and handed to Olds for 21 yards up the middle. Tagge kept the ball himself for the final yard with no time showing on the clock in the third quarter and Sanger booted a fourth conversion. Things were then turned over to the Husker reserves, who responded with a touchdown of their own and who kept the Black Shirts shutout intact. little more than a minute to play and the Buffaloes leading 17-14 was that kind of big play, added Crowder.

Iowa State fourth-year coach Johnny Majors concurred. had a chance until Majors said. that several chances.

The Cornhuskers failed to score in the first quarter for the first time this season. the latter part of the third quarter the game was tougher than the score claimed Devaney. One of the surprises for the Cornhuskers was the success of the option play.

(iP) David Jaynes, who spurned a scholarship at Alabama to play close to home, gunned three touchdown passes in less than 10 minutes Saturday to fire Kansas to a 39-13 smashing of slightly favored Kansas State.

The Jayhawks, unable to mount a serious threat behind regular quarterback Dan Heck in the first quarter despite excellent field position, turned to Jaynes, a sophomore from nearby Bonner Springs, in the second quarter. Jaynes, who once announced he was going to Alabama to play for Bryant, then changed his mind to stay home, completed 12 of 18 passes for 163 yards, playing barely more than two quarters. Tight end John Schroll caught nine of his tosses for 88 yards, tying a school record for number of receptions. Kansas Depth Aids Harriers Lawrence, Kan.
