"Surprise" was the main dish
as far as the nation's top foot
ball powers were concerned.
Lowly Kansas State took their
first Conference victory in five
years as they downed favored
Colorado, the baby member of
the Big Seven, 27-12.
The Conference "door-mat"
slipped out from under Colorado
as Wildcat Dana Atkins proved
too much of a field general for
Colorado. The Buffs had previ
ously dumped Kansas to take the
favorites role. The other state
college in the Big Seven, Iowa
State, pulled another surprise as
they dumped K. U., 19-6.
Iowa Baffles.
Last week the Iowa Cyclones
held powerful Illinois to a tie to
baffle the experts.
Oklahoma gained a step on
the Golden Gophers in the race
for national honors as the
Sooners walloped Texas A. &
M. 33-13. Minnesota had trou
ble with a stubborn Nebraska
team that wouldn't say "die."
The Gophers had to dig: them
selves out of the turf to take
a 28-6 win in a game that was
much better than the score
shows.
Stepping out of the Big Seven
into the Big Nine conference,
Iowa slapped the Purdue Boiler
makers 21-7, while Pitt's Panth
ers were turning the tables on
Northwestern 16-7.
Michigan Still in Race.
Michigan sounded warning that
they were still in the running for
national recognition as they ran
away from Stanford 27-7. Stan
ford was picked as one of the
West coast's teams to watch. It
seems that a mass migration of
' the Compton J. C. football squad
went to Stanford to bolster their
power. In case you haven't heard
about Compton, they have won
the Little Rose Bowl game twice.
With the Little Rose Bowl crown
goes the national junior college
championship.
Illinois will still be looking for
their first win come next Satur
day, or as far as that goes, their
first defeat. Wisconsin battled the
Illini to a 13-13 tie. Ohio State
took their second win of the sea
son by shellacing the Indiana
Hoosiers 46-7. Indiana was sup
posed to be the Big Nine "dark
horse." (Who spilled the white
paint.)
Three other games in the Mid
West found mighty Michigan
State trouncing Marquette 48-7,
the Dakotas battling to a 7-7 tie
and Oklahoma A. & M., who is
still trying to get their foot in
the Big Seven's front door, sent
forth a resounding knock as they
humiliated Denver 48-2.
In the East.
Switching from the Midwest to
the East, Army took the paddle
to Penn State, downing the
Quakers 42-7 in the East's top
attraction. The future "Admirals"
from Annapolis, under the tutor
ing of ex-Nebraskan George
Sauer, slipped by Princeton 28-7.
Glancing over the other top at
tractions In the East, Brown beat
Holy Cross 28-6, Bucknell shut
out N. Y. U. 14-0, Columbia
slipped by Harvard 14-7 and
Cornell edged Colgate 39-27.
Penn. blanked Dartmouth 21-0
while Temple gave Rutgers the
point 14-7.
In the deep South, Clemson
barely got by North Carolina
State 7-6 and Duke's Bluedevils
passed by the . Tennessee Vols
21-7. Kentucky jinxed Mississippi

Charley "Coo Choo" Justice
and the rest of the Tarheels
dumped Georgia 21-14, and Wm.

In the Southwest, Texas. Chris
tian fell before mighty Arkansas
27-7, but Texas, going into the
hills of Idaho literally peeled the
spuds 56-7. In the Rockies, Utah
and Arizona, after much battling,
ended in a 12-12 deadlock and
Wyoming trimmed Colorado
A. & M., 8-0.
The three top games of the
Far West found the "fighting
Irish taming the Washington
Bears 27-7. California had an
easier time lowering the boom
on Oregon State 41-0. Southern
Cal. turned in another victory
as they white-washed Wash
ington State 35-7.
After checking with the official
dope sheets, put out by the na
tion's top pickers, we find seven
upsets and six games that failed
to go as the experts picked them.
Nanlc Proves
SkeptiesWrong
Fran Nagle, recently dubbed
slinging Fran the "bombardier,"
proved the skeptics to be wrong
with his sparkling aerial attack
acainst Minnesota Saturday.
Many sports writers, fans, and
people who knew nothing or ine
game accused Nagle of running
away from his opposition in the
South Dakota game.
Saturday, Fran showed the pub
lic he could take care of himself
when it reallv counts. He stood
up to bruisers like All-American
Leo Nomelhni and Bud Grant and
threw pass after pass. And he did
stay in the pocket.
Nagle's performance, coupled
with outstanding Husekr running
and defensive play, has given
many prophet to predict five wins
for the Cornhuskers.
Credit for one of the best de
fensive games must go to Walt
Spellman, Omaha gaurd. Spellman
spoiled Gopher running plays time
and time again in the first half.
He also intercepted two Minne
sota passes to thwart possible
Gopher scoring chances. Charlie
Toogood, tackle from North Platte,
teamed with Spellman to make the
powerful Minnesota line fight for
every inch.

Phi Delta Theta walked off
with the first intramural trophy
of 1949-50 Sunday by copping
the golf match with a margin of
14 strokes over second place
Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Led by
Chick Battey, the only Phi Delt
that shot both Sundays, the win
ners led all the way. Teaming
up with Battey on the first Sun
day were Bob Allen with a 78,

Sigma Chi with 656. The Phi Psi's
copped fifth place with a 679 point
total followed by Delta Upsilon

Saturday to Engage K-Statc
The Nebraska Cornhuskers take
to the road Saturday in an attempt
to stop an inspired Kansas State
team.
K-State, winner of two straight,
boosts wins over Fort Hays, 55-0,
and Colorado, 27-13.
In the "opening game against
Fort Hays, the Wildcats renewed
a football rivalry after a lapse of
eight years. Fort Hays, expected to
be a contender for Central con
ference championship honors this
fall, brought an experienced squad
to Manhattan, only to be handed
a terrific 55-0 pounding.
The Wildcat defensive line, tu
tored by Tommy O'Boyle, was the
main cause behind the stopping of
a powerful Fort Hays running
attack.
Ends Five-Year Drouth.
Winning its first conference
game in five years, K-State rolled
last Saturday to an easy 27-13
victory at the expense of a fav
ored Colorado team.
Harry Narcisian, Colorado half
back who runs as if he were jet
propelled, didn't have his usual
backing, and the Colorado offense
sputtered but never quite ran
smoothly.
Kansas State has the new pass
ing combination of sophomore
John O'Conner tossing to lanky
Glenn Channell. If the pass attack
fails, the Cats will depend on Hi
ram Faubion, who scored three
touchdowns and passed for a
fourth against Colorado.
The big question asked by Kan
sas State followers this year fs
whether the sophomores can stand
up to the experience of the other
teams that they will encounter
this year.
The sophomore picture at K
State is above average at least
for the Wildcat school. Coach
Ralph Graham has six first year
backs whom he believes capable
of playing on anybody's Big Seven
team. They are Elmer Creviston,
Hiram "Hi" Faubion, Dennfs Kane,
Ted Maupe, John O'Conner and
Ralph Tedwell.
Graham's K-Staters are a big

to Manliatten
this fall. Many observers believe
the Cats are due, and Saturday's
game with Nebraska could end or
continue this school of thought.
Nebraska, after a good showing
at the hands of a great Minnesota
team, appears ready for its first
loop start. Although up against an
inspired team, the Cornhuskers
can't help but be favored. The
swift manner of attack used
against the Gophers and the pass
ing of Fran Nagle will push the
odejs in favor of Nebraska.
Aerial plays can't be touched
on too lightly for Nebraska's hopes
for a good conference record will
be achieved in this department.
Nagle, completing 11 out of 22
attempts in the Minnesota game,
should find the Wildcat line to
his liking. The Cat line averages
192 pounds per man, considerably
less than the 219 per man Minne
sota line. However, the K-State
line can't be taken for granted
as they supported a 430-yard rush
ing attack in the Fort Hayes game.
Kansas State has been a soft
touch in the past years, but this
time it should be different. Last
year's score was 32-0 with Ne
braska out on top.
In all games played the Corn
huskers have a distinct advantage
with 27 wins in 32 games. K-State
has won 4, while 2 ended in ties.

Returns to OCU
Cot Deal, oneTf the three ball
playing Deal brothers, will enroll
at Oklahoma City University as
soon as the St. Louis Cardinals
end their season.
Deal started the year with the
Louisville club of the American
Association but ended the season
with Columbus of the same league,
where he pitched and won a 20
inning tilt.
Deal, although enrolling at least
a month late each fall, has always
managed to make the Dean's
Honor Roll. Who said athletes are
