Doug Wyatt’s 23-yard Held
goal, booted in the closing min-
utes of the first half, had given
Tulsa a slim 3-0 edge.
Wichita’s lone touchdown
came in the fourth period when
wingback Randy Jackson cap-
ped a five-play drive from the
Wichita 34 with the final 11-
yard carry.
The muddy field, soaked by
rain, sleet and snow, made the
footing and ball handling dif-
ficult. Both teams hobbled the
ball a nuber of times, with
Tulsa losing two fumbles and
Wichita one.
Tulsa’s passing attack, in re-
cent years the nation’s best,
sparked to life again, with the
Hurricane hitting 27 of 52 aer-
ial attempts for 348 net yards.
One Tulsa pass was intercept-
ed.
The alert Hurricane picked
off four Wichita aerials. The
Shockers connected on 8 of 27
passes for 152 yards. Wichita
had 130 net yards rushing,
while Tulsa had 117.
The victory prevented the
Hurricane from catching the
worst record of coach Glenn
Dobbs’ eight - year tenure at
Tulsa.
“Pm happy for the boys,”
said Dobbs. “They went out
with a victory."
The young Hurricane squad
was hampered by injuries this
season.

The Texas Longhorns feasted
on Thanksgiving day with a
victory over arch rival Texas
A.AM. as their main course
then had dessert in the form of
a berth in the Cotton Bowl.
The Longhorns blended a
potent running game with a
solid defense to stop the Aggies
35-14 and gain a cotton Bowl
spot opposite seventh-ranked
Tennsessee on New Year’s day
in Dallas.
It was a situation in which
coach Darrell Royal’s team
couldn’t lose as far as post-
season play was concerned. A
victory meant a berth In the
Cotton Bowl and a loss would
have earned the Longhorns a
trip to the Sugar Bowl in New
Oreleans.
For the Longhorns, No.6inthe
nation, it was their eighth
consecutive victory after an
opening tie and loss and tied
them for the Southwest Confer-
ence championship with eighth-
ranked Arkansas. Since Texas
beat Arkansas 3 29 in mid-
season for the Porkers’ only
loss, the Longhorns are the host
team for the Cotton Bowl, and
Arkansas goes to the Sugar
Bowl opposite fourth-ranked
Georgia.

Philly's 1st Win In 12 Games
Eagles Drop Detroit
Sopulpo tOklo ) Herald, Friday, November 29 '968 3 AGF THRFE
The state flower of Utah is
the sego lily.
By United Press International
The Philadelphia Eagles, un-
happy over the prospect of
becoming the first team in
National Football League histo-
ry to go a whole season without
victory sloshed through a rain-
soaked field Thursday for their
first win in 12 games to defeat
the Detroit Lions 12-0.
The win came on the strength
of four field goals by veteran
kicker Sam Baker. The points
made Baker the second-highest
scorer in professional football
history, giving him 890 points.
Lou Groza, the former Celve-
land great, has 1,349 points.
At Dallas, the cry of “we wuz
robbed,” reverberated through-
out the Washington Redskin
dressing room following a 29-20
loss the Dallas Cowboys before
a national television audience.
Redskin coach Otto Graham
said he thought “the officials
stole the game from us.”
Statistics of the game show
that the penalty flags did fly
thick and fast but were thrown
just as often against Dallas as
against Washington. Each team

DIAMONDS

was penalized nine times—the
Cowboys for 97 yards and the
Redskins for 124.
The win virtually clinched the
Capitol Division title for the
Cowboys'. Their 10-2 record
puts them 2 2 games in front of
the New York Giants with two
games to play.
And if the Giants lost to
Cleveland Sunday, the Cowboys
will take it all.
Sunday also will find the
Minnesota Vikings playing the
Los Angeles Rams in a game
where victory is vital for both
teams. The Vikings are in
jeopardy of losing their lead in
the central Division to the fast
charging Green Bay Packers.
Last week’s loss to the
Baltimore Colts left them only
one-half game ahead of the
world champions.
In other games the Green Bay
Packers meet San Francisco in
a contest where a victory could
shoot them to the top of their
division. Baltimore takes on the
improved Atlanta Falcons and
New Orleans meets Chicago in
other Sunday games.

If moral victories showed in
the statistics the Buffalo Bills
would be leading the American
Football League today.
The Bills, now only 1-11-1, in
the standings in the Eastern
Division of the AFL, came
within a step Thursday of
upsetting the Oakland Raiders
now 10-2 in the Western
Division.
And It took rookie, George
Atkinson playing the greatest
game of his brief pro-career, to
keep the Raiders out of trouble.
Wjth first place in the
Western Dtvisiqp at stake and
the Oakland offense sputtering
because of itS owil ineptitude,
Atkinson made the plays that
gave the Raiders their 13-10
triumph.
Atkinson set up two Raider
scores, tallied a third himself
and then saved the game twice
in the final three minutes— first
with a fumble-producing tackle
just when it seemed the Bills
had scored the winning TD, and
then with a tree-climbing
deflection of another pass.
The Bills completely out-
played the Raiders, gaining 17
first downs to Oakland’s 11,
outrushed them 199 to 75, and
outgalned them in passing
yardage, 144 to 111. The only
thing they lost was the game.
At Kansas City, meanwhile,
the Kansas City Chiefs kept
themselves at the top of the
Western Division as co-leaders
with Oakland, by turning back
the Houston Oilers 24-10.
The Chief’s victory eliminates
Houston as a contender in the
Eastern Division and automati-
cally elevated the New York
Jets to the title. Houston now is
5-7 and New York 8-3.
Both the Chiefs and the
Raiders have two more games
in the crucial stretch run.
Kansas City is at San Diego
Dec. 8 and at Denver Dec. 14 in
its finale while Oakland enter-
tains Denver Dec. 8 and invades
San Diego Dec. 15.
On Sunday the San Diego
meets the Denver Broncos, who
will be out to avenge an earlier
55-24 humiliation at the hands of
the Chargers and to do their
best to knock off all the
a _
Cage
Scoreboard
contenders for the AFL’s
Western Division title.
The Broocos seem well suited
for the role of “spoilers” as
they are having the second best
season in their nine year
history.
For the Chargers this is a
must game. San Diego must
win all three of its remaining
games to qualify for a three-
way playoff with Oakland and
Kansas City.
In other Sunday games Miami
meet the Jets in New York and
Boston is host to Cincinnati
