Francis take the pigskin thru the
middle for 12 yards. When Vike
deposited the ball, it was but four
yards from the goal and Athey
took it over on a quarterback
sneak.
Vike Lights Out.
The ball was brought back to
the 30 again and Vike hit his right
tackle for 11 followed by an Ath
ey to Ludwiek pass good for 20
yards. Athey next showed his
sprinting prowess around his own
left end going for 20 yards and
falling yards short of the goal.
This time Bradley took it over
with a plunge off tackle for four
yards and a touch. On both touch
es, Francis' kick for the extra
Iint was good.
Metheny Leads Seconds.
These two teams were given a
breather and the seconds and the
fourths paraded out. On the first
play from their own 30, Fred Me
theny dropped a pass into Howard
Debus' arms and the former Lin
coln high athlete galloped 60 yards
untouched to score.
On the next exchange, Debus
tossed to Metheny for 23 and then
Wayne Blue crashed thru and
mtide 15 yards in several tries. A
pass, Metheny to Kathol, netted
the seconds 15 yards and Me
theny s end sweep was good for
all of 18.
Blue finally carried the fourth
team across three yards to score.
To score the next touchdown, the
second team used Hansen, Debus,
a nass from Metheny to Debus,

Line Lacks Experience.
The Sooner starting line this fall
lacks the excellent material of
the famed Sooner forward walls of
1937-38-39. Line tutor Lawrence
"Jap" Haskell has been using Dub
Lamb, a junior who played behind
Bill Jennings last year, and Soph
Jim Tyree at ends, Roger Eason
and Howard Teeter at tackles,
Ralph Harris and Mitch Shadid at
cuards. with lankv Max Fischer
at center.
A real challenge to the Sooner
coaching staff's talent is develop
ment of the second t. earn line. The
second team line includes five men
who didn't see action last year,
Tackles Plato Andros and Chad
Vallance, Guards Clare Morford
and Dick Beopple and Center Jack
Marsee.
Work on Defense.
Having devoted the first week's
practice to improving the Okla
homa striking power, Coach Lus
ter and his staff have been concen
trating more on improving the de
fense instead of the already-competent
offense. Oklahoma was a
mediocre defensive club last sea
son with a distressing habit of
buckling late in the game to
opponents with an abundance of
reserve power. It's Coach Lus
ter's problem to develop a com
petent line. The backfield can
take care of itself.
two good plungea by Blue, a sec
ond pass like the first and then
Blue rushed 12 yards to score.
Debus Makes Conversions.
Debuse converted both times.
The firsts were recalled and with
in a few seconds had join across
two more touchdowns with Fran
cis gaining 35 yards in three plays.
Wayne Sindt dented the scoring
column on a five yard reverse.
Francis took the ball and went
the 25 yards needed for the sec
ond touch. When the fourths tried
stopping the seconds, they found
Blue and Debus too much for them
with Blue carrying it most of the
way and Debus tallying on a 16
yard sweep.
To gain the 25 yards for the
second touchdown, Metheny called
Blue twice for 22 yards and De
bus for three yards and a score.
Defense and offense alike
showed marked improvement in
the fray and coaches' humors also
were on llie upgrade as another
I result.
