Texas Huskers Face Sooner Team The Cornhuskers meet a pow erful Oklahoma Sooner aggrega tion in Norman, Okla., Saturday at 2:30 p. m. It was this same Sooner team that defeated a favored Missouri eleven, 41-7, last week end with the pupil. Bud Wilkinson, show ing the teacher, Don Faurot. Both Wilkinson anI Faurot were r aches at Iowa Preflight during th 2 war where Wilkinson learned the split-T formation as employed by Faurot. Sooner at Full Strength The Sooners will be at full strength for the first time in weeks. Injured players who have returned to the squad are Wade Walker and Nute Trotter, tackles, Right End Bobby Goad and Cen ter Pete Tillman. All saw limited service against Missouri. Coach Potsy Clark's squad will not be at full strength as the Husker mentor had to leave Gerry Moore, Bob Ackerman, and Kenny Fischer home because of injuries. Burris Top Blocker Oklahoma has one of the best lines in the country but the Husker line has shown steady im provement and is set to surprise Jack Mitchell and his Sooner co horts. All-American Paul "Buddy" Burris who plays guard, fs a top blocker in the Sooner line that stands fourth in the nation in rushing with its average of 300 net yards per game. Mutt and Jeff Combo The Sooners have a Mutt and Jeff end combination in lanky Jim Owens and 167-pound Bobby Goad that has done a great job this fall in the pass receiving de partment. Wade Walker and Homer Paine are also two stel lar linemen. Oklahoma's backficld fs smart and fast with Jack Mitchell, who is not only a slashing runner from scrimmage, but probably one of the Big Seven's keenest quarterbacks. Last year Mitchell led the Big Six in rushing from T-formation quarterback, and in 1946 he led the nation in average yards of punt runbacks. He is the main cog in Coach Bud Wilkinson's spilt-T offense. Won Six Straight Righthalf George Thomas is an other mainstay in the Oklahoma offense. The fleet back leads the Big Seven with 615 net yards rushing. Wilkinson's squad has won six games in a row, including vic tories over Texas, defending Sugar Bowl champs, Texas Christian and mighty Missouri, the squad which walloped Doak Walker and com pany of Southern Methodist. In the 27 year series with Okla homa, the Huskers have won 16, lost 8, tied 3. All-time record: Tmr Neb. O.U. Yr NH.

The Husker coach, Potsy Clark has made some changes that should give the Scarlet a stronger de fense against Jack Mitchell's split-T formation. The Sooners are known to be lax in their pass defense which leaked for two touchdowns against Santa Clara. On the other side of the ledger, Nebraska has not been too sharp when it comes to pass defense. The Huskers have nothing to lose in Saturday's encounter while the Big Seven co-chnm-pions are pointing for their game with Kansas university and pos sibly another Big Seven cham pionship this time for them selves.
