Nebraska Footballers Preparing
For Season Opener with Texas
Big Eight Outlook
Wilkinson's Sooner s Are Solid
Choice To Win Big 8 Crown
By Hal Brown
Sports Editor
It happened to the Yankees
in 1959. Can it happen to Ok
lahoma in 1959?
The Yankees had won nine
of ten American League pen
nants since Casey Sten
gel took the helm in 1949 and
everyone in his right jnind
was picking them to walk
away with all the marbles
again this year.
The Yankees are no long
er in contention for the pen
nant and with the football sea
son nearly upon us, the an
swer to the above question
appears to be a definite NO.
Wilkinson
Bud Wilkinson came to Ok
lahoma as head coach in 1947
action indefinitely with a
lame knee. The Jayhawks
moved all-Big Eight Tackle
John Peppercorn to left half
back last spring and were
impressed with his showing.
Kansas has 18 of 31 letter
men returning Including six
regulars and nine from the
alternate unit.
Nebraska will be battling
Missouri and Kansas for the
trip to the Orange Bowl. Ok
lahoma cannot return so the
pjnnorup will represent the
Bi Eight at Miami.
For the first time in the;
all-conference back for the
past two years and was ninth
nationally in total offense last
year.
Oklahoma State does not
compete in Big Eight football
until next year.

In the 12 seasons since then, fers as Center Darrell Coop-
he has compiled a confer
ence record of 67 wins, no
losses and two ties. Wilkin
son has an overall record at
Oklahoma of 108-9-4.
In a pre-season poll of
sportswriters, conducted by
Don Pierce, sports publicity
director at the University of
Kansas, they overwhelmingly
picked Oklahoma to run
off with the laurels again.
Oklahoma was picked first
by 76 of 81 writers taking part
in the poll. Behind Oklahoma,
they listed Missouri, Kansas,
NEBRASKA, Colorado. Kan
sas State and Iowa State in
that order.
Nebraska and Colorado re
ceived votes for every spot
but first.
Oklahoma has 23 lettermen
returning including five reg
ulars and six from the alter
nate unit. Three starting
backs are returning in Full

Halfback Jimmy Carpen

' The Sooners have only three

unit wno tip the scales at
more than 200 pounds. The
heaviest starter is Right Tac
kle Marshall York at 209.
Missouri
Missouri returns such
standouts as Halfback Mel
West, Quarterback Phil Snow
den, Tackle Mike Magac,
End Danny LaRose.
West was 12th in the na
tion last year in rushing with
642 yards. Snowden was sec
ond among Big Eight passers
hitting on 47 of 87 attempts
for 548 yards.
Kansas suffered a setback
when returning Quarterback
Bill Crank was forced out of
and Guarterback Tom Kram
er.
New Coach
Colorado has a new coach
in Everett "Sonny" Grande
lius who replaced Dal Ward.
The Buffs lost seven of eleven
starters from last fall and will
have trouble replacing the
likes of Guard John Wooten,
Tackle Jack Himelwright,
Quarterback Boyd Dowler
and Halfback Eddie Dove.
Jerry Steffen of Crofton, Ne
braska is giving veteran
Chuck Weiss a battle for the
starting fullback nod. Steffen
has been used at every back
field spot during his college
career and will do the extra
point kicking and some of the
punting for Colorado.
Kansas State figures to use
the forward pass as their
main attacking weapon with
Quarterbacks Kent McConnell
and John Solmos throwing
and Ends Joe Vader and Ced
ric Price doing most of the
receiving.
Iowa State is pegged for
the bottom rung again but
they have one of the top in
dividual performers in the
conference, . namely Dwight
Nichols. Nichols has been an

As IM Chief
Intramurals play an im
portant part in the life of
many students at the Univer
sity. Ed Higginbotham, di
rector of intramurals, esti
mates that 2500 students take
part in some form of intra
murals. The program offers a wide
variety of sports r.h every
thing from shuffleboard to
touch football. The fall activi
ties begin with golf Septem
ber 19 and 20. Qualifying
rounds of 18 holes match play
must be played one of those
days. Last year's champion
was Del Hemmer of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon.
Higginbotham began h I s
duties as director of intra
murals in 1950 and has added
shuffle board, fall track and
field, water basketball and
ice hockey to the list of
sports. The tentative sched
ule of intramurals lists 25
sports.
There are three separate j
leagues, tourneys or contests j
in aa activities for frateml
ties, resident halls for men
and independents.
In addition to his duties as
director of intramurals, Hig
ginbotham is also tennis
coach. He has been coaching
tennis at the University since
1951 and his netters finished
fourth in the conference last
spring.
Before coming to Nebraska
as a physical education in
structor in 1943, Ed coached
at Beatrice and Fremont High
Schools. He will have letter
men Al Arrigunaga, Bill Ken
dall and Bruce Russell return
ing plus Dave Calhoun and
Jack Craft, both members of
last year's squad.

Oklahoma opens its season
the following week with
Northwestern at Evanston,
Illinois.
By Hal Brown
Sports Editor
Football Coach Bill Jen
nings put his squad through
a light workout in shorts yes
terday as they began one-a-day
drills with the beginning
of classes. The Huskers had
been working twice a day for
the past two weeks in prepa
ration for the opener with
Texas, Saturday.
Jennings did not send his
boys through the customary
scrimmage normally held the
Saturday before the opening
game. With a rash of minor
injuries, he felt it best to fore
go the scrimmage. j
Tom Kramer, senior quar-,
terback, who has impressed :
everyone this fall with his ,
smooth play has been side-1
lined with a bad leg. None of j
the injuries is serious enough
to keep the players out of Sat
urday's game but any aggra
vation of them could force
them to the sidelines.
Two of the most improved
players on the s q u a L are :
Warren Powers and Don Pur
cell. Powers is a sophomore
halfback from Kansas City,
Mo., who has been nicknamed
"Crazy Legs" for his elusive
ness on the gridiron.
Purcell is a 6-1, 202 pound
end with speed and plenty of
dssire. He is a graduate of
Omaha Benson.
59 Players
The current Husker roster
lists 59 players, a definite im
provement over the past few
years. Jennings indicated 22
men as his starters.
The starting eleven will be
known as the Go team and
the other eleven will be called
the Ready team. In addition
to the top 22 there will be a
relieving unit.
The top 22 players at the
start of the week were:
