There were six significant big plays for the Cowboys beginning with the 89-yard return of the opening kickoff for a touchdown by Isaac Thomas. Another was a 51-yard touchdown pass, Roger Staubach to Bob Hayes, in the second quarter.

"The runback and the pass to Hayes were about all we did in the first half," said Tom Landry, the Cowboys' voach. "We only played half a game, the second half." The Thomas and Hayes touchdowns enabled the Cowboys to pause at halftime with a 14-14 tie. The Rams had 15 first downs to their three; had 43 plays to their 21, and had been on offense for almost 23 of the first 30 minutes. In the next quarter Roman Gabriel aimed a pass at Jack Division. Snow, who caught five, but this one bounced and was intercepted by Chuck Howley at the Rams' 46.

Two plays later Staubach's pass found Lance Alworth for a touchdown toss. With Gabriel passing on every play, the Rams came back to tie on a 62-yard drive that ended with a four-yard scoring pass to Pat Curran. As the last quarter began, the Dallas machine put together the winning drive, culminating with a five-yard pitch out and end sweep by Duane Thomas. "It was a great effort," said Landry. "He had no room and no blocking." The Alworth and Thomas scores were big plays and so was one by Cornell Green, the Dallas safety, who knocked down a deep touchdown pass to Lance Rentzel.

It took a pressure-filled 74-yard drive that consumed more than five minutes of the final period for Nebraska to regain the lead. Jeff Kinney, 210-pound running back who seems destined for greater achievements as a professional, carried the last four times and 15 yards in the drive, including the final two for the decisive touchdown through a hole opened by Larry Rupert, the All-America guard. It was Kinney's fourth touchdown and he finished with a shredded white jersey and 174 yards rushing in 30 bruising carries. Oklahoma, with a 9-1 record and headed for the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day against Auburn, had one final chance at its 19-yard line after the final Nebraska score.

But Nebraska applied a hard rush on quarterback Jack Mildren on fourth down and deflected his attempt to throw long to Jon Harrison, his wide receiver. Johnny Rodgers, Nebraska's explosive back, weaved 72 yards for a touchdown on a thrilling punt return after Oklahoma's first offensive series. The furious pace continued for the entire game. The two teams accounted for nine touchdowns and a whopping 829 yards total offense, including Sll in the first half by Oklahoma, which scored with five seconds to go to take a 17-14 half time lead on a 24-yard pass from Mildren to Harrison.

"Promised Valley" is a musical play about the Mormon pioneers.

Staged in the Temple View outdoor theatre, across the street from Temple Square, "Promised Valley" drew nightly capacity crowds last summer. Yes, the tickets were free. But also contributing to the success was the splendid production worthy of Broadway. "Promised Valley," written by Broadway playwright Arnold Sundgaard and Crawford Gates, noted Utah composer and conductor, centers around the Mormons' Mormon Temple and Tabernacle, located behind a 15-foot wall on the edge of downtown Salt Lake City. Temple Square, indeed, is the most popular point of interest in Utah.

"Promised Valley" is an entertaining off-shoot of the tourist parade. The religious aspects are not stressed as much as you might think, even though the Mormons term the trek to Salt Lake one of the significant migrations of history. The Mormons believe in a "soft sell," certainly more effective in drawing visitors. When the Mormons entered desolate Salt Lake Valley in July 1847, Brigham Young, roused from a sickbed in a wagon, proclaimed: "This is the place." He had recognized stormed to a 28-24 comeback him in a vision. Brigham Young's "paradise" gradually became a reality.
