A capacity crowd of about 40,000 saw Coach Bud Oklahomans win their third victory of the year against one tie over a Kansas outfit that suffered its first loss in five games. The victory left Oklahoma with a conference record of a tie with Colorado and one triumph. Kansas now has two league successes and one loss.

The Sooners spotted Kansas a seven point lead early in the game Big Seven Standings w. 1.. 2 Okiakoma 1 1 Mluopri I KaPNM 2 1 0 ('olorado I 1 1 Iowa Hlale 3 0 Kansas Hlatc 2 Past Kansas Husker Defense Rugged in Loss To Penn Staters By NORRIS ANDERSON Sunday Sports Writer BEAVER STADIUM, State College, State spirit, generated by the electric exuberance of homecoming, finally reverberated in full fury during the last half here Saturday and struck Nebraska Cornhuskers from the rolls i of the undefeated, 10-0, before 30,000 gleeful partisans. No longer can Cornhusker optimists feast on the Alice- in-Wonderland dementia of an unbeaten record. That skein was safe for two quarters this sun-drenched day, only to fall before a Lion touchdown pass and a field goal during the final half.

For a half, at least, the Huskers were sterif and relentless realists, hell bent on proving that these 13- point favorites were not invincible. Three times did the Uons roar Statistics STEP ASIDE, PLEASE, THROUGH Novak strides through a gaping hole in the Penn State line for a six yard gain after the Huskers had held for down on their own seven-yard line.

To the 19-yard line, to the six and to the seven did the Lions penetrate during the first half. Each time, one chorus of solid determination, the Husker line arose magnificently and met the challenge.

On this corrugated defensive play, the Huskers went in the third quarter zero-zero with the favored foe. EVEN AS the third period wound through a furious series of ball exchanges, the penchant for goal line stands seemed endless.

Willinm Glassford Aggie.s mixed a fine pass- TOM CATLIN, great center, was credited with two touchdown-saving tackles. He also threw the key block on first touchdown run of 10 yards that brought the initial score.

Fumbles set up the first two touchdowns, one for each team, and alert pass defenders stopped threats, turning them into Sooner scores. Crowder completed two of his four passes fer 91 yards. He got expert cooperation from ailing Buck McPhail, the slicing fullback; Vessels, Green and Leake. Vessels was the leading ground gainer with 105 yards on 15 carries. McPhall banged 16 times for 72 yards.

70 yards on 13 rushes was the best for Kansas. Kansas appeared to have comeback drive underway minutes after it had brought its handicap to 21-20 in the third quarter. Halfback Konek intercepted deflected pass on the Sooner 41. Kansas hammered to the Oklahoma five. Then Catlm charged through to smear Robert- Bon for a 5-yard loss.

Catlin came to the rescue again by breaking up a Robertson pass intended for Reich. 1 That was last real chance. The Sooners then moved 90 yards in nine plays to score with Green going over from the one. McPhail converted to make it 28 to 20. A 51-yard run by Vessels to the Kansas 17 was the best lick in the March.

He paid tribute, in a somewhat bleak po.st-game dressing room session, to Charlie Hoag and Jerry Robertson, two K. IT. backs who tried hard to snap formidable Big Seven winning streak. The Kansas mentor had high praise, too, for Eddie Crowder, quarterback whose magic field generalship had the Jayhawks bewildered at several crucial points. BCD WILKINSON, the Sooner coach who lost a conference ball game yet, went quietly around the Oklahoma dressing room congratulating his players.

The game, he said, was tough than the score indicated, think the turning point came in the third quarter, when Tom Catlin (the great center) dropped Jerry Robertson for a five-yard loss to break up a Kansas scoring he declared.

Penn Stale simply is not the team to be given a stream of breaks. Superior Penn State passing and receiving (Rados hit 11 of 20 for 129 yards) and blocking probably told the tale. Nebraska certainly carried away the defensive honors, especially in the line. TWO MINUTES remained of the third quarter when Penn State finally scored on a 50-yard drive, negotiated in nine plays. From the 2-yard-Une, Rados spotted Arnelle, grazing lone- somely In the end zone.
