By JOE PHILLIPS
In the upset of the week, Ok-
lahoma scorched arch - rival
Texas 48-27 with an awesome
display of offensive power in a
game that matched Wishbone-T
against Wishbone-T. Although
Texas was only a slight favorite,
the surprising decisiveness of
the Sooners' victory deserves
to be called an upset.
Like Frankenstein, the Wish-
bone-T came back to. torment
it's creator, Texas coach Dar-
rell Royal. But it had to be a
sweet victory for Sooner coach
Chuck Fairbanks, who borrow-
ed the complicated offense from
Royal last year in an attempt to
surprise Texas - only to suf-
fer a humiliating 41-9 defeat.
It was a different story this
time. After the game, a. dis-
heartened Royal failed to see
any irony or poetic justice in
the loss, simply commenting,
"We've won too many games to
expect any sympathy." "They'
just riddled us all around."
It was junior running back
Greg Pruitt, a pint-sized 179-
pounder, who did most of the
riddling. He slashed through
the Longhorn defense for 219
yards and touchdown runs of
one, four and 20 yards. Pruitt
averaged an amazing 10.8 yards
per carry as he blazed through
and around the dazed Long-
horns, almost at will.
Pruitt, later named back of
the week by the Associated
Press had a lot of support as the
undefeated Sooners rolled for
425 yards on the ground. Bal-
ancing the attack, Sooner quar-
terback Jack Mildren scored on
one and seven-yard runs while
John Carroll booted 26 and 27-
yard field goals.

After spotting Texas brief
leads of 7-0 and 14-7, the Soon-
ers put the Wishbone into over-
drive as Pruit scored twice and
Mildren once to pile up a 31-21
halftime lead.
Oklahoma came right back
and blew the Longhorns off the
field in the second half. as Pruitt
and Mildren each scored again
while Texas could generate only
six more points for itself.
Fairbanks attributed the vic-
tory to execution. "It's a chore
to stop Texas' Wishbone. We ex-
ecuted the offense today. We
had the better end of the
Wishbone this time."
Mildren ran the intricate
triple-option offense to perfec-
tion. Oklahoma scored more
points than any team has ever
scored against Royal since he's
been at Texas. It was also the
most yardage ever given up by a
Royal-coached Texas team.
In retaliation, the Texas of-

Texas
fense could manage only two
touchdowns apiece from-reserve
quarterback Donnie Wiggington
(who replaced the injured Ed-
die Phillips) and running back
Jim Bertelson.
The loss cost Texas more
than it's pride. In both the AP
and UPI polls released yester-
day, the Longhorns dropped to
tenth in the national rankings.
Worse still, Royal has now
lost no less than eight regulars
to injury, and after the Okla-
homa rout it was revealed that
reserve quarterback Wiggington
was also injured and could be
out from "one to three weeks",
according to Royal.
With the victory, the Sooners
climbed past Michigan in the
national rankings to the num-
ber two spot. But before any
mythical titles can be claimed,
Oklahoma has to face sixth
ranked Colorado and number
one ranked Nebraska. The mon-
ster Wishbone-T will have to
rise again.

TONIGHT ONLY-WED., OCT. 13
The Tragic Diary of

The Michigan lacrosse team
upended Notre Dame 7-6 Sun-
day afternoon in a game played
on Ferry Field's Tartan Turf.
The victory extended Michi-
gan's two year mastery over the
Fighting Irish, but the Irish get
two more cracks at the Wol-
verines this year, both at South
Bend.
The Irish stickmen appeared
ready for a win when Notre
Dame's Ken Lund scored the \
game's first goal with only 1:17
gone in the first quarter.
Michigan stormed back mid-
way through the quarter on a
beautiful quick stick by sopho-
more John Spelman with a feed
from senior Craig Bradley and
a fine individual effort by first
team All-Midwest midfielder
Dick Dean. The goal pushed the
Wolverines ahead for the first
time in the afternoon.
Michigan led 3-2 at the half
on a goal by Dean with Michi-
gan in a man up situation.
Dean's goal countered a second
goal by Notre Dame's Lund.
The Irish had a big third
quarter and again shot into the
lead, 5-4, going into the final
quarter.

denied in the final quarter as
senior tri-captain Dan Fanble
notched two goals, and Art
Kelly and Phil Powers each
scored once to sew up the game.
Michigan looks to be a strong
contender for the Midwest Club
Championship this year. The
Wolverines showed marked im-
provement in their man-up of-
fense, and with returning de-
fenseman Dave Fischer and Tim
Cotter helping out goalie Jay
Johnson. Michigan should have
a strong defensive team.
Michigan has greater depth
at midfield as evidenced by the
scoring produced by each of
the three lines run.
Michigan's "B" team was de-
feated 6-5 by their counterparts
from Notre Dame in a morn-
ing contest, despite outstand-
ing performances by Michigan
goalie Larry Cassel and fresh-
man attackman Tom Banks.
The squad travels to South
Bend on October 31 for a re-
match with the Irish. They will
then have,-a three month lay-
off until winter practice gets
underway on February 1.
