Big 8 Spring Practices End With
No End Seen to OU Domination
By Randall Lambert
Out of plains, deep in the
heart of a football factory
comes the bemoaning wail of
the Sooner pessimist bird. We
have the greenest, youngest
team in Wilkinson history.
Thus the spring football sea
son ended at Norman as it
has in the rest of the Big
Eight schools.
Mustard plasters have been
pretty well taken off by con
ference footballers and the
linament bottles have been
put away. The sports fan can
now turn to baseball for the
summer while Big Eight
coaches roam the countryside
in a nationwide talent hunt
that will last almost to the
opening kickoff next fall.
OU Finish First
Oklahoma was the first to
finish spring drills as they
met ther alumni April 11.
Nebraska, Kansas State, Kan
sas, along with the Sooners,
all capped the spring drills off
with alumni scrimmages,
while Missouri, Colorado, and
Iowa State ended with intra
squad clashes.
There Is feeling that the Big
Eight teams will be improved
next year with the possible
exception of Colorado.
The Sooners, as usual, will
be favored to cop another Big
Eight crown. They lost their
alumni clash by a 27-20 count
to give the alumni a 9-2 series
lead. The biggest fault found
with the Varsity's play was
their pass defense. They let
the alum's ace quarterback,
Jimmy Harris, hit 12 of 24
passes including three touch
down strikes.
Galloping Greenles
However, the 14,000 fans
that watched the tilt didn't
go away disappointed as the
varsity, which was the green
est to play a spring game,
outrushed the alums 316-240.
Exactly one-half of Wilkin
son's top two squads were
new players. The top two half
backs were both freshmen,
one of which was the highly
publicized Mike McCleUan,
whose transfer from Baylor
caused nationwide comment.
The Sooner varsity played
without the services of three
starting backs from last fall,
right half Brewster Hobby and
left half Jimmy Carpenter,
both playing baseball, and
fullback Prentice Gautt, the
Okie All-American fullback
prospect who was sidleined
with a knee operation.
The Sooner squad next fall
will also show the Big 8 their
new formation that segre
gates both ends, and some-

times a halfback as well. The
new formation will give Bob
by Boyd the Sooner's side
arm passer a chance to dis
play his wares. In the Alum
contest the passing potenti
ality of the Sooner's new for
mation was well used as
Boyd, who was playing with
infected tonsils hit 5 of 10
passes for fifty yards and one
touchdown, scored another on
a keeper, moved the varsity
to three touchdowns.-He also
rushed 96 yards in 17 car
ries. Colorado has the greenest
backfield in many years. Ma
jor shortcoming is speed.
Will have fair depth and pass
ing. The line is better than
the backfield with some of
the best ends in the country.
Captain Bob Salerno, guard,
is mainstay in middle of the
line. Much depends on how
guards and tackles come
along.
Missouri is deep and well ex
perienced and could give Ok
lahoma a run for their money.
The Tigers must find re
placements for their two all
conference guards. Standouts
in the backfield include Mel
West, ranked 12th nationally
among the ball carriers and
Phil Snowden, the top passer
in the Big Eight last year.
Danny LaRose, an all-conference
end last year, is the line
standout.
Kansas is trying to put to
gether a good pass defense,
which thev lacked last year.
The Jayhawks will have a
good passing game, but will
be trying to improve their
running game which has been
good in the past due to the
departed Homer Floyd. Their
defense is sound.
