Altho the Oklahoma Sooners
could do no better than a tie in
the Big Six football race. Coach
Jim Tatum's eleven is ranked
among the top teams in the nation
in several classifications of grid
iron activity. . ' ,
It is no wonder that the Husk
er gridders could not make rriuch
headway thru the Sooner forward
wall when the two clubs met at
Norman, for the O.U. team led the
nation in rushing defense. Ten
Oklahoma foes could gain only a
total of 580 yards on rushing
plays, an average per game of 58
y3ids.
. u u' u tm 1a total defense.
TT -w w .
considering pass defense as well
as rushing; defense, the Sooners
were second behind the mighty
Notre Dame squad. The statistics
in this department show that the
Sooners allowed opponents an av
erage of 155 yards per game,
Joe Golding, all-Big Six half
back, paced the Oklahoma team
to sixth place among the college
teams in the matter of yards
gained . by rushing. The ' confer
ence co-champions wound up their
season with a gain of 3,354 yards
on 499 rushing plays. , i .
In individual statistics Golding
ranks fourth in rushing,' having
ined 902 yards in 126. trips with
c pigskin. Despite thfc'fact that
did practically nq passing,
Golding was able to bang onto
the nth spot in the nation when
it came to total offensej j ; '
The difference between his
rushing and total offense, was only
21 yards. Where the 'Sooner ace
would have ranged if he had done
anything else with the: football is
questionable, but be1 i probably
would have been pressing Travis
iSita-sii if Anhurn. Bobbv Layne
of Texas and Harry Gilmer of
Alabama for a place among we
elite.
Dean Laun, Iowa State end, was
the only other conference per
former to figure in the national
rankings. Laun managed to hold
onto the No. 1 spot among pass
receivers even tho he ended his
football activity on Nov. 16 while
other players had a game or two
left to play.
There was a familiar name in
the Midland college basketball
lineup when the Warriors tangled
with the Peru State Teachers on
Wednesday night Bob Hahn, for
mer Nebraska eager, led the Fre
mont aggregation with 10 points,
altho the Peru quintet won.
Hahn worked his way up to a
starting forward on the '44 Husk

At KC Meeting
AMES la. Among other
things to be considered by the
Big Six heads in Kansas City
this week is the matter of sched
ules for winter and spring sports.
Top speculation, of course, is
going to such nutters as return
to pre-war eligibility rules, and
further discussion of the naming
of a commissioner for the con
ference. But the most immediate
problem for the track, swiming,
wrestling, golf, tennis and base
ball coaches is the drawing up
of schedules for the rest of this
year.
One little-mentioned item of
business is what to do about "B"
schedules. Some schools indicate

Another favorite of Nebraska
basketball fans will be in action
in Omaha Monday. The inimitable
Goose Tatum who thrilled Lincoln
fans for two seasons with his an
tics on the Lincoln Wing's is
scheduled to play for the Har

eling House of David team at the
Creighton gym.
Tatum, whose reach is the long
est of any basketball player in ac
tion today, is expected to pack the
house and the Nebraska-Iowa of

TELEPHONE men are hard at ork
extending and improving telephone
service in rural areas served by the
Bell Companies. They're pushing a
1 100,000,000 three to five year program
to give telephone service to all bo nant
it just as fast as possible.
To do this they bad to look beyond
conventional telephone practices. New
techniques and new and improved equip
ment had io be planned, developed and
proved. Now they are furnishing tele
phone (service over rural power lines, over
new steel wire that requires fewer poles
per mile, over insulated wire that can le
buried directly in the ground and by
means of rural radio.
Men who approach every problem with
open minds. . . vbo are guided by inge
nuity and resourcefulness rather than by
established method . . . find telephony an
ever stimulating and intercbling career.
