Description

The Red River Shootout game between the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas is being held at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. The rivalry began in 1900 and has been running since. The Longhorns scored first in the 1941 contest and never relinquished the lead. In the first quarter, the dominant Longhorn line gave fullback Jack Crain, 44, any alley to the end zone with the ball. Guard Chal Daniel and end Preston Flanagan (87) are out front blocking as Crain gallops eleven yards for the second touchdown. Other Longhorns are Noble Doss (11) and Vernon Martin. The Sooner defenders are Orville Mathews (35), Jack Jacobs (27), Marvin Whitehead (21), and Howard Teeter (77). The Longhorns went on to win 40-7. Published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram morning edition, October 12, 1941.
