...second half, the Texans clearly outplayed the mighty Irish and boyish, narrow-eyed Kyle Rote ran his day's performance to spectacular totals: he gained 115 yards through the line and around the ends, pitched ten passes for 146 yards, scored three touchdowns. After his third score it took all of Notre Dame's All-America power to grind out one more Irish touchdown and go ahead, 27-20.

In three weeks she spurred admiring engineers to complete wiring that normally takes three months. Despite the competition of Oklahoma's Senator Robert S. Kerr and Tulsa's grand old man of oil and No. 1 citizen, W.G. Skelly (who had also applied for a TV station permit), she secured the tower of the National Bank of Tulsa for KOTV's transmitter. Wearing shorts, she clambered up 400 ft. on an outside...
