Sooners Face Next Big Six Rival Saturday The Boomer Sooners of Okla homa, defending co-champions of the Big Six, face another severe test from the north when the Kansas Jayhawkers invade the Okie's land Saturday. The Sooners, fresh from their overtime victory over the young Nebraska Cornhuskers, will face Kansas loaded for bear. Kansas is Improved. The Jayhawkers' improved play indicates that this game may be the turning point for the Sooners, already beaten in league play by the Kansas State quintet. The K-State Wildcats eked out a thriller 55-54 and another loss would just about put the Soon ers out of the running. Even if the Sooner slip by the unbeaten Jnyhawks they still must face the like wise unbeaten Iowa State team, who has impressed all observers with their two league wins. The Cyclones have a trip to Columbia and a date with the Tigers on tap for Saturday, but their task seems less difficult than that of the Sooners. The Tigers have played but one league game, that a 74-38 loss to nSencii Wairming Dick Dilsaver GUEST COLUMNIST CHUCK PETERSON The big scare being thrown into the ranks of Americans 4-F athe letes by Uncle Sam doesn't seem to bother big Buzz Hollins. It seems that the Buzzer, who was reclassified 1-A, went on a per sonal scoring spree during Ne braska's disastrous southern road trip. Mr. Hollins was high man in both the Oklahoma and the Skyjacket games. Hollins is still behind Bob Hahn, tall Art Peterson, and Jim Strahan, flashy forward, in the scoring race. Hahn, the leader, has accumulated 86 points in 11 games for a point per game aver age of 7.81. Nebraska has averaged better than 2 points a game, but has been able to win only one game in their 11 starts.

Iowa State Edges 5048 Victory Over Skyers AMES, la. (P). Iowa State fought past the Ottumwa Naval Air station to annex a 50 to 48 win in a basketball game here Monday, after the Skyers had held a 26-24 halftime margin. The Cyclones, finding the range 50 seconds after the second half opened, moved out to a 46 to 39 lead with three minutes of the game left but were forced to check a fast-closing Ottumwa rush to salvage the contest. Coach Louie Menze called Bob Mott, starting center, out of the showers to shoot a last second free throw to insure the victory. The Skyers, behind the rapid fire shooting of George Hartley and John Kraft, broke two first half ties to grasp at 21-16 edge four minutes before the half ended, but could not check the basket ringing of Jim Myers who narrowed the gap to the 26-24 recess count. In the last 50 seconds Ottumwa drew up to chop Iowa State's gap to 49-46. At this point the Skyers com mitted four fouls, all of which the Cyclones refused, but after Hart ley hit to make the count 49-48, Menze recalled Mott to the floor when a technical foul was called. Mott made the second of the two charity shots, standing up the score at 50-48. WANTED "CASHIER" 11 to 2 p. m. M. T. W. Tli. F. CORN CRIB Gr CANTEEN Apply at Union Office Election . . .
