Football activity has been com
pleted by Big Six teams, except
for a possible bowl game for
Oklahoma, and the final outcome
of the air-tight pennant chase was
, decided by the trusty toe cf KU's
Don Fambrough.
Two successful place kicks rave
the Jayhawks a pair of valuable
points after touchdown to enable
George Sauer's crew to bump the
Missouri Tigers 20-19 In the
Thanksgiving day clash between
the two schools.
Ray Evans turned in a great in
dividual performance to lead the
Kansans to victory, but the pow
erful Oklahoma Sooners would
have had the championship ban
ner all to themselves if Fanv
brough had missed one of the two
placements he produced. The
Bengal-Jayhawk mix would have
ended in a tie, thus eliminating
both crews from title considera
tion,

less Wildcats, who were unable to
chalk up a conference victory and
scored only two touchdowns dur

The mighty Sooners closed their
regular season last Saturday by
handing the crippled Oklahoma
A. & M. Cowboys a terrific 73-12
lacing to gain revenge for a pair
of trouncings -which the Aggies
administered in previous seasons.
Dave Wallace wound up his 1946
performance with a red hot ex
hibition of place kicking as he
came through on nine extra points
and a field goal.
Talk of a post-season charity
contest between the Sooners and
once-beaten Tulsa is prevalent in
Oklahoma, and a possible berth
in the 'Gator Bowl in Jackson
ville, Fla.. against North Carolina

the Sooners.
Nebraska absorbed its only
shutout of the season when Bernie
Masterson's boys collided with the
unbeaten Bruins of UCLA at Los

tip top defensive play until supe
rior Uclan manpower over
whelmed the Scarlet defenders by
an 18-0 count.
