Nebraska and Oklahoma play
tomorrow, probably for second

share In the conference title.
Missouri plays Kansas Satur
day, and if the Tigers win. they'll
breeze through undefeated to a
championship, no matter what Ne
braska and Oklahoma do. Should
thev lose to Kansas, the winner of
the Nebraska-Sooner game would
tie the Tigers for the champion
ship. Missouri will win the title If
they tie Kansas. If Missouri loses
to Kansas, and the Huskers and
Sooners tie, the Tigers will still
win the crown, for they will have
only one loss to a loss and a tie
each for the Sooners and the
Huskers. All in all. Nebraska a
only hope is to beat Oklahoma and
bank on a Kansas up3et; the Soon
ers' hope is to beat Nebraska ana
pray for the underdog hans
