ITS ALL IN THE GAME ... A new sports tradition began for the first time at the Nebraska
Colorado fame Saturday. Fashioned after the Missouri-Nebraska Victory bell tradition, this Bear's '
head will be presented each year by the losing team in the football game between Colorado and
Nebraska. Nebraska's Mortar Boards and Innocents are shown presenting the Bear's head to Colo
rado's Heart and Dagger society.
Former 'Coach Of Year
Wilkinson Here Saturday
The University of Oklahoma
Sooners, decimated by graduation
and injury losses, got off to a slow
start this season nothing like
past national championship per
formances. Bat Head Coach Bud Wilkin
son has moulded his few vet
erans and heavy list of fresh
men and sophomores Into a
formidable machine apparent
ly headed for a roaring finish.
However, the Sooner express
churning toward the fourth con
secutive Big Seven crown could
easily suffer a derailment if
some look foe points for it.
Wilkinson, former Coach of the
Year selection, is in his fifth sea
son at Oklahoma which was his
first head coaching assignment.
The big blond mentor won 38,
lost four and tied one for a phe
nomenal .904 per cent before this
season started. Since then, the
Sooners have dropped two more
games.
The amiable Minnesotan play
ed guard in 1934-35 for the
Golden Gophers, then switched
to blocking back and called
signals in 1936 for Coach Bernie
national title Bud's sophomore
Bierman's Gophers who won the
and senior seasons. As a grad
uate in 1937, Bud quarterback
ed the College All Stars to their !
first victory of all time at Sol
diers Field over "pro" cham
pions who were the Green Bay
Packers that year.
Wilkinson is ably assisted by
some top-notch coaching talent. In
charge of the line is cagey, soft
ipoken Gomer Jones, former Ohio
State star who can take a lot of
credit for making Sooner guard

Doug Wilcox,
Pieper Experts
There's one in every crowd.
That seems to be the key to our
expert of the week award. This
week Don Pieper, managing editor
and Doug Wilcox, sports staff
writer, take this week's forecast
ine limelight.
Pieper stepped out on the limb
to take a two touchdown under
dog Kice team over Texas A. & M.
The Owls came through with a
stinging 28-13 victory over the
Texans.
Wilcox took a likewise under
rated Northwestern Wildcat
eleven over the Wolverines of
Michigan and the inconsistent
Evanston lads won out, 6-0.
Bob Banks, sports editor, led
this week's predictors with six
picks in ten attempts. Bob now
has a .706 average to lead Arley
Bondarin, sports, who has a .676
percentage.
Business staff members monop-;
olize the third and fourth place
' posts with .647. Jack Cohen, busi-j
ness manager and Arnie Stern,
assistant business manager, both
hit half of their selections.
Wilcox is in fifth with Mi
and Marshall Kusbner, asftinlant
sports editor; Ron Gibson,
sports staff, and Shirley
Murphy, news editor, are
bunched In s tie for sixth with
As a result of last week's up-,
sets, a quartette of experts is
found in an eighth place tie. Tom
Becker, sports; Dale Reynolds, Ag
editor; Tom Rische, editor and
Pieper have .603.
The battle for departmental su
premacy continues as the business
slatf lead slipped from seven
points to only two percentage
points over the sports staff. Busi
ness has a .647 total mark while
sports has compiled a .645.

where he was named on the All-
America selection of Grantland,
Colliers and several others.
Bill Jennings. Oklahoma's back'
field coach, looks as youthful as
any yearling on his squad. Jen
nings became the greatest Sooner
pass-catcher of modern times with
a three-year record of 70 received
passes for 753 yards. He also
played wingback and defensive
halfback at times, earning the
name of "Twinkle Toes" for his
clever running style.
Pete Elliott, who quarter
backed all-victorious Michigan
to a 49-0 annihilation of South
ern California in the Rose Bowl
game of 1948, came to Okla
homa from Oregon State where
he has coached for the past two
years. Elliott, assistant coach
and scout, set an all-time rec
ord at Michigan by earning 12
letters, four in football, four in
basketball and four in golf.

Sooner coach Dee Andros, Okla

1946-49. Andros, the assistant line
coach, is completing work on his
Master's degree while helping out
at Ou. Andros played in three
different bowl games and the
Sooners won them alL
Oklahoma, primarily a team
that has stuck to the ground, is
mixing its attack this season. With
the early-season injury of half
back Billy Vessels, much of the
ball-carrying chores have fallen on
Buck McPhail, a smashing full
back. For the first six games this
year McPhail has toted the ball
58 times for a total of 575 yards.
That's an average of 9.9 yards
Injury-Riddled Huskers Face
Sooners; D. Emanuel Praised
The injury-riddled Cornhuskers
stayed off the practice field Mon
day evening as J. William Glass
ford's charges took a deserved
rest after their 36-14 loss to Colo
rado Saturday.
Surveying the wreckage, Glass
ford came up with the following
injury list:
John Bordogna, a leg injury,
the extent of which will remain
unknown until the cast is re
moved from it Tuesday.
Jim Cederdahl, a recurrence
of s shoulder muscle injury suf
fered previously.
. Bill Giles, an aggravation of a
leg injury.
Bob Reynolds, an inflamma
tion of the right eye suffered
when he got some lime from
the field markings In his eye
Saturday.
All these men hold kev posi
tions in the spread formation
which Glassford employs. Ceder
dahl, Reynolds and Bordogna are
passers, and Giles Is an end.
Reynolds, Giles and Cederdahl
are exp-ied to be ready to play
in a short time. Bordogna's leg
injury is the big question mark.
Glassford was not in an en
tirely gloomy frame of mind,
however. The burly Hosker j
mentor was proud of the snow
Ing of several of his young line
men. Glassford had special praise fori!
Dennis Emanuel, who was one of
the defensive standouts for Ne
braska in Saturday's tussle. It was
Emanuel who rushed the Colo
rado backs time after time to spill
them for losses.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon eked out
a 6-0 win over Delta Tau Delta
Friday to gain a berth in the fra
ternity football play-offs. .
No points were made until the
last few plays in the second quar
ter. This is how the scoring of
the game went:
With two minutes left in the
second quarter Joe Gifford, out
standing offensive back for the
Sig Alph squad, made a sensa
tional 45-yard run which set up
the initial touchdown.
per trip, nearly a first down every
time he gets the ball. Other top
notch ball carriers are two half
backs, Died Heatly, a senior, and
Jonn jLea&e, a freshman.
The Sooner passing ace is
quarterback Eddie Crowder, a
varitable work-horse. Crowder
has completed 18 of 33 passes
thus far in the season for 308
yards and four touchdowns.
Only one of his aerials has been
stolen by the opposition. In ad
tion, Crowder has carried the
ball 46 times for a total gain
of 200 yards.
Lake leads in the scoring divi
sion with six touchdowns for 36
points. He is closely followed by
Heatly with 30 points. Weather
all, an all-round good lineman, is
third in scoring with 22 points, all
coming from after-touchdown
conversions.
The Sooners defensive back
field is youthful but effective.
Teaming up with a stubborn of
fensive line, they have held Ok
lahoma s opponents to 876 yards
rushing and 433 yards passing,
wnue intercepting 14 enemy
aerials. Oklahoma on the other
hand has picked up 1824 yards
on the ground and 567 yards
through the air while allowing
omy tnree interceptions.
Emanuel was given the lion's
share of the credit for holding
Buffalo scatback Woody Shel
ton to a .3 yard rushing aver
age in the game.
Also given praise for their work
in the game were Jerry Minnick
and Bill Schabacker, who continu
ally made it tough on the hard
charging Buffaloes to make head
way in the line.
Despite the good defensive
showing which his charges made
at times, Glassford announced
plans to put the Huskers through
a defensive drill session this
week.
The Huskers' defense will
have to be sharp to stop Mighty
Oklahoma next Saturday.
Sooner Coach Bud Wilkinson
has a wealth of backs down at
Norman, Oklahoma.
Leading the Sooner offensive
corps are Buck McPhail and Ed
die Crowder. McPhail is a hard-
