The Sooners are a solid favorite to make it number 65 at the ex pense of the faltering Comhuskers. Coach Wilkinson's chief conce.n this xeek was how his squad would react to the Notre Dame defeat, first in nearly five years for an Oklahoma team, and what would be the condition of the Scar let turf. "The Nebraska game means as much to us as the Purdue opener ' did to Notre Dame," he said Mon-j day. "We can do one of two things against the Comhuskers, ' fall off and become a mediocre team, or fight back, improve, and become a better team." j Bobby Boyd, the Sooners' souid little alternate left half, is out of the game with rib cartilage bruised in the Irish loss. ; Loss of the Garland.
