The Chamber of Commerce candidly figures the fans, swarming into city nightclubs or out to the State Fair, leave at least $2,000,000 in the city's tills - -making football enthusiasts of every merchant in town. For Texans it was all a bust. A pair of fleetfooted Sooner halfbacks, Tommy McDonald and Clendon Thomas, sifted through the Texas defense with embarrassing ease, scored three touchdowns apiece.
