All during the first half Oklahoma kept the bah in Texas territory in spite OF their punting. Oklahoma always return ing the same b. line plunges to within % yards of the Texas goal. Oklahoma lost the ball on tumble TO Texas, and Jones grabbed it up and made a quick run with clear field for a touchdown. In the second half Texas scored again. but only on account of ‘‘fuke” failed 10 kick score.
