Methodical and safe was the way to describe Oklahoma's 14-6 victory over North Carolina and renowned halfback Charley "Choo Choo" Justice. Steady quarterback Jack Mitchell engineered a conservative Oklahoma offensive attack, rushing for a score on the way to being named the game's outstanding player, while coach Bud Wilkinson's defense kept Justice under wraps all day.
