The lean, long-muscled Oklahomans who had never played on a losing team were hard put to hold the game to a scoreless tie. And in the fourth quarter, they could no longer do that. Notre Dame Fullback Nick Pietrosante shared with Halfback Pat Doyle the joy of bulling for steady yardage through the outcharged Oklahoma line. They brought the ball all the way down to the three...
