After a scorless first period the Huskers' Cletus Fischer brought cheering Nebraska rooters to their feet with a sixty-two yard pass interception that shot the Scarlet and Cream into a 6-0 lead. Fischer grabbed a pass thrown by Darrell Royal, Sooner halfback, on his own 38, raced up the East side lines, shook off four or five tack- lers and with aid of a timely block by End Jack Pesek, raced over for the score. The vital kick for the extra point went wide. Until tKe interception the Sooners had shown lots of power but the Husk ers had managed to hold their own, forcing the punting toe of Darrell Royal into action. Royals first boot went out of bounds on the Nebraska 13 but was nullified by a backfield in motion penalty on the Sooners. His second attempt was blocked by Charlie Toogood, bur ley Husker tackle and the Husk ers took over on the Oklahoma 36. After Adams gained thru through the center big John Rapacz inter cepted a pass by Dick Thompson on the visitors 36 to end the threat. After the first Husker score the Oklahomans came right back down the field on a 73-yard march to tie. With George Brewer, Char lie Sarratt, Jack Mitchell, and George Thomas in the saddle the Sooners put on the strongest of fensive drive of the game which was climaxed by Thomas' four yard plunge for the touchdown. Sarratt contributed a nifty thirty yard end run that accounted for a good share of the distance. Dave Wallace's kick for the extra point gave the Sooners a 7-6 advantage which they held until half-time. See GAME, page 3.
