Out of the Hat
Victories Title
To Oklahoma
Oklahoma's two-point victory
over Nebraska has not been th.
only close margin thriller turned
in by the Sooners this year. They
have won eight ot 11 close
games this season.
Early in the year Oklahoma
overcame a 14-point margin
with a terrific rally to tie the
score and then beat )he Big
Niners by nine points in the
overtime. Ohio State since then
has turned back Se. Louis' po
tent team, CO-54.
Another comeback was staged
by the Sooners when they
trailed Iowa State seven points
with nine minutes to go. They
went on to tie the score and win
55-52 in the overtime.
THE SOONERS also nipped
Kansas 38-30, stopped Missouri
44-40. and won the finals of the
Kansas City tourney from Kan
sas 53-49. They nudged Iowa
State 43-42 and two nights later
came from behind to edge Colo
rado 43-40.
Not all of the Sooners' close
tilts were victories. They lost to
Kansas State 45-47, to C.C.N. Y
53-55 at Madison Square Car
den and to Texas at Austin. In
this game Oklahoma staged a
fierce comeback only to lose by
one point in the last 45 seconds
of play
After winning all their games
at home by close margins the
Sooners are expecting trouble on
their road trip where they play
four of their five remaining
conference games.
A RUGGED SHOWDOWN is
promised when the Sooners
travel to Manhattan for a battle
with Kansas State. The Aggies
won the first encounter at Nor
man. From Manhattan the Soon
ers head north for games with
Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas
before returning horn for the
I season's finale with Colorado.

SUTHERLAND hopes to have the
services of his ace boardman, Don
Paulsen, a little longer in the sec
ond engagement against the Ilusk

ran up four fouls in the first six
minutes and had to be used spar
ingly the rest of the way.
A tough team to beat on their
home floor, the Cyclones may
prove to be a big obstacle in the
Iluskers' path to the Big 'Seven
