Leotc Jackson went yards on two plays and after a pair of plays 'Jailed to gain, Jackson drove for down on the Tulsa 13 -yard line. A clipping penalty, one of several 15-yard rule infractions to be handed tho two teams in the rough contest, moved the Techsans to the 34-ynrd marker, A Tulsa returned the ball Iback to the 20 and Brown, hcm- in by Tulsa tacklcrs, broke loose for nine yards to set up the following pass play, which went ffor a touchdown.

The second stanza dissolved into a punting contest, as neither team was nbl'e to make substantial gain. 1 either on the ground or the air. But after a dull iesrly third period, Tulsa began lo move on a poor kick by Freddie Brown nnd a nice return by Ford. Hardy Brown sneaiked around end for'three yards nnd then passed tn Ford for a first clown on the Tech 10. Strallon gained to the 12 and Boonc picked up a first down on the Tech eight-yard line, Bernic Winkler, Dorrcll McCurry and Tuffy Nabors gave ground grudgingly and Tulsa lost the ball on the four-yard line on downs.

The game's final tally came after John fresh- inan end from Sulphur Springs, recovered a Tulsa fumble in the shadows of the visiting team's goal, The Red JRaiflers failed to capitalize at that moment, Tulsa holding downs.

And then the Red Raiders loosed their lightning, Ernest Hawkins of Lamesa, whose quarlerbaeking at this point was uncanny, crossed up the entire Tulsa team by handing the ball off to Earhart, who bulled qyer the center of the line for ten yards and a first down on the Tulsa 23-yard stripe, With the Golden Hurricanes expecting a pitching attack, Hawkins again outfoxed the defense, minding'the ball off to Charlie Reynolds, who smashed and bulled is way down the center slot lo he defender's 11-yurd marker. Pulsa, completely befuddled, called itlme, but when their rest was Hawkins shot the works And once again it was down the middle, flght- dng his way into the clear and Dragging three Tulsa tacklors over final white line from three yards out to send the Tech cheering section delirious. The fact that iEarhart added the extra point, his 'sixth in six attempts, mattered little, with the clock fast running out.
