| Transcript | Tulsa Edges Cougars A 42-yard touchdown pass with only seconds left, and a two point conversion, gave the Hurricanes of Tulsa a slim 22-21 victory over the luckless Cougars. Quarterback Jack Skog pushed the Big Red to a 21-7 half-time lead, scoring two touchdowns himself, and passing to end Clem Beard for the third. The Big Wind came on strong in the third quarter behind the passing of Jerry Rhome, who led the nations' top passing team to make up for their half-time deficit. Excessive penalties and a defensive lag in the final minutes of the game hurt the Cougars in their bid for their second victory. Cincy puts on a rush as there seems to be a slight mix-up in the Cougar backfield. Speed and Passing Too Much for Birds The Cougars ended their football season on a happy note with a 21-7 victory over Louisville. The Cardinals fielded three giants for the game, Ken Kortas, 300 pounds; Charlie Johnson, 228; and Gray Guertin at 292. But apparently Louisvilles' size was no match for the speed of the MSliarry-land Flash," Mike Spratt, and the pin-point passing of Jack Skog. Skog set a record for single season passing, completing eight passes for 80 yards and bringing his season total to 1145. The Red defense was uncannily observant as they held the birds to four first downs and 12 yards total offense in the first half. Joe Rafter Halfback Philadelphia, Pa.
