Oklahoma line thwarted an
earlier Pitt scoring thrust in the
same quarter, a half-yard from
the goal.
Tousle-haired Buddy Leake,
playing his first season in the
roll for Oklahoma.
pitched 80 yards to glue-fingered
Larry Grigg in the second quarter
for the Sooners' score.
1t was just too much stub
borness by the line play of both

a deadlock in the interSectional
battle before 33,928 at Pitt Sta

SOOners Lack Punch.
Bob Burris. 183-pound half
back from Muskogee, Okla, re-
covered a tumble by Bobby Epps
on Pitts six with only a minute
and a half elapsed in the third
quarter, but Oklahoma failed to
punch over a touchdown on four
line plays.
Oklahoma's line showed its
wares early in the fourth period
by stopping the Panthers the
same way and taking over the
ball a half yard from the scoring
zone.
Jack Cling, 157-pound senior
quarterback from Alva, Okla,
suffered a dislocated right shoul-
der in the second period after a
savage tackle.
Pitt Line StaIwart.
The Sooners, throttled by
Notre Dame 1921 last week, got
off to a quick start in the first
period and appeared headed for
a runaway until they bumped
into the stalwart Pitt defense.
They marched 66 yards on II
plays until Leake, attempting to
pass, lost 18 yards. That settled
matters right there and then
until Leake uncorked the touch
down pass to Grigg in the second
period.
The Panther aerial game, a
weak link in its season opening
17-7 loss to West Virginia, took
a turn for the better against the
Sooners as they completed IL
in 25 attempts, rolling up 115
yards.
The Panthers. a 14-point un-
derdog, also completely outplayed
the Sooners on the ground, pick
ing up 162 yards and ended up
with 9 first downs against six
for the opposition.
Panthers Miss Chance.
Behind TO early in the second
period, the Panthers failed to
cash in on another break. Joe

recovered a tumble by Oklaho-

Georgetown's erratic team has

Georgetown in its last outing

withstood several threats to take

lately preceding that, though,
the Hoyas blew good winning
chances against Penn State and
Siena. so there's no predicting
what they'll do against the

Loss 10 Duke Means
CIV Must Top Terps
And Two 0therF Fives

George Washington, earlier in
the season touted as the team
to end North Carolina States
six-year reign as Southern Con-
ference champion. now is faced
with being left out Of the tour
nament unless it wins its three
remaining conference games
including one with Maryland.
The Colonials' $3.50 loss to
Duke last night following an
overtime loss by 3 points to
Wake Forest. left them with
five defeats, more than any
team in the top eight. The
Colonials are in ninth place and
eight qualify for the tournament
in Raleigh.
The sad statistics for CIV are
that Furman, Duke, Richmond
and the Colonials are the four
teams battling for the last three
places. N. c. State, North Caro-
lima, Maryland. West Virginia
and Wake Forest are "in."
Schedules Against CIV.
Furman has a 7-3 record and
three games to play, with South
Carolina, Davidson and Glenn
son.
Duke has a 7-3 record with six
games to play, against N. c.
State. North Carolina, Wake
Forest, Davidson, South Caro-
lima and William and Mary.
Richmond has a 9-4 record
and five games to play. with
VPI, VMI, West Virginia. WASH
ington and Lee and William and
Mary.
CIV has a 9-5 record and
games with Washington and Lee.
VPI and Maryland remaining.
Even If Furman loses one Of
it's three home games and If
Duke and Richmond lost two
games each. George Washington
would have to win all three to
win a place. And Furman does
not figure to lose one, nor Rich
mond to lost two. 1t is unlikely
that Duke will lose more than
two. considering its recent i'm
provement.
George Washington figures to

Furman beat VPI by only three
