Sooners
Bud Wilkinson's Okla
homa Sooners will be shoot
ing for their 75th s t r a i g,h t
conierence win wnnout a ae
feat when they meet NebraS'
ka Saturday.
The Sooners haven't lost to
a conference opponent since
Kansas turned .tne tnck in
1946 by a 16-13 score. Okla
homa has had sole possession
of the conference champion
ship every year since Wil
kinson took over in 1947.
The two years prior to that,
the Sooners tied with Kansas
for the crown. Since coming
to Oklahoma, Wilkinson has
compiled a record of 74 wins
and two ties in conference
play.
Lost Opener
Oklahoma has a 3-2 record
going into the Nebraska
game. They have losses to
Northwestern and Texas with
Wilkinson
Gautt
wins coming over Colorado,
Missouri and Kansas. The
opening game loss to North
western was a bit tainted as
the Sooners were weakened
by a case of food poisoning
prior to the game.
Regardless of what hap
pens the rest of the season,
Oklahoma is doomed to its
worst season since 1951. The
Sooners haven't lost two
games in one season since
'51 when they were defeated
by Texas and Texas A & M
on successive Saturdays.
The 45 points scored against
them was the most since the
final game of the 1945 sea
son when Oklahoma A & M
shut out the Sooners, 47-0.

Saturday's Homecoming Day
battle.
"I think the Ne bra sic a
game will be the toughest to
win we've played. Nebraska
is a fine, rugged team. Al
though we're improving all
the time, we've been on the
firing line five straight
weeks," said Wilkinson.
The Sooners whl be slightly
hampered by injuries. Gil
mer Lewis, Oklahoma co
captain and left tackle will
not be able to play. He hurt
his knee in the Texas game.
Phil Lohman, second string
left end is also on the injury
list and probably won't see
action. Wahoo McDaniel and
Bobby Boyd have been
slowed by injuries but are
expected to be ready by game
time.
Starters
The probable Oklahoma
starting lineup will have Wa
hoo McDaniel at left end;
Jerry Thompson, left tackle;
Vernon Lang, left guard;
Jim Davis, center; Karl Mil
stead, right guard; Tom Cox,
right tackle; Ronald Payne,
right end.
Bobby Boyd will be calling
signals for the first unit
which will have Mike Mc
Clellan at left halfback, Brew
ster Hobby at right halfback
and Prentice Gautt at full
back. The second Oklahoma unit
will consist of Paul Benien,
left end; Billy White, left
tackle; Jerry Payne, left
guard; Bob Scholl, center;
Billy Jack Moore, right
guard; Marshall York, right
tackle; Jerry Tillery, right
end.
Bob Cornell will be the
quarterback with Jackie
Holt at left halfback, Dick
Carpenter at right halfback
and Ronnie Hartline round
ing out the second unit back
field at fullback.
Oklahoma assistant coach
J. D. Roberts had the follow
ing to say about the Huskers
after scouting them against
Indiana and Missouri:
"Nebraska is a big, tough
team that likes to hit. They
have caused their first six
opponents to fumble 23 times
and recovered 9. Indiana
drove to the Nebraska 18, 13,
11, 8 and 6-yard lines but
couldn't get across."
"Nebraska really hits hard.
They have a veteran squad
and fine personnel. Saturday
is their Homecoming game.
In this same situation last
season, they defeated a good
Pittsburgh team."
"I was impressed by Ne
braska's defense against
Missouri. They were on de-
Defeat
fense 75 plays and yet yielded
only one touchdown. Missouri
was really fortunate to score
that. West ran back a kick
off 86 yards to the Cornhus
ker six and Missouri scored
from there."
' "Nebraska has a great
kicking game. Tolly, their
punter, averaged 44 yards
against Indiana and 38
against Missouri Saturday
despite two quick kicks he had
to get off short when he was
rushed. Nebraska covers
kicks faster than Texas."
"Pat Fischer, their left
half, is a good player, both
offensively and defensively.
Cly White, the other halfback,
is an excellent player, faster
than Fischer. Haney, their
left tackle, and Olson, their
left guard, are, real fine lines
men. "Nebraska is rugged and
experienced. They use T for
mation with a few flankers
and . wingbacks. Their quar
terbacks do most of their
throwing."

Orange Bowl aspirations
will be up for grabs when
Iowa State smacks into Kan
sas at Lawrence Saturday.
Some 25,000 fans are ex
pected to file through the
turnstiles as the Jayhawks
attempt to feather their nest
at the expense of tne cy
clones. However, Dwight Nichols,
the nation's second ranking
offensive leader, and Tom
Watkins, who is the national
rushing runner-up, may have
other ideas.
The twin terrors have am
massed a good share of the
2,074 yards the Staters have
gained this fall. It has given
the Iowans the Big Eight of
fensive leadership.
Only Help
Mickey Fitzgerald has been
about the only help that
Nichols and Watkins have re
ceived. He has been averag
ing 11 yards a carry, but
hasn't carried the bail nearly
as much as Nichols or Wat
kins. t
Besides displaying an illus
trious offense every weekend,
the Cyclones have also man
aged to almost stop their op
ponents cold while hanging
up a 5-1 win and loss mark.
The only defeat was at the
hsnds of another Orange
Bowl contender, Missouri. Go
ing into the Kansas contest
the Staters have allowed only
1,121 yards in six games. This
figures about 187 yards a
game.'

ever, losses have been suf
fered at the hands of such
ranked powers as Texas
Christian, Syracuse, and Ok
lahoma. Incidentally, Syracue is
now the leading NCAA power
in both offense and defense.
Jays "Low
In direct contrast to Iowa
State's offensive punch, the
Jayhawkers are next to the
bottom in total offense in the
Big Eight. They are 900 yards
under the Cyclones for the
year.
Coach Jack Mitchell has
been waiting all season for
his touted offense led by soph
omores John Iladl and Cur
tis McClinton to "jell." Last
week they jelled for one
play when Dave Harris
sprinted 60 yards for the
touchdown that almost put
the skids under an already
dismal Oklahoma season.
But the big play wasn't
pulled out 7-6.
Iowa State, who has been
forced to go with 30 men
since the beginning of the
season, will again ba facing
a team that has them out
manpowered. Nevertheless,
the Cyclones figure to give
the Jays a run for their
money, while Kansas hopes
to run them down via their
platoon system.

Gridders Hoping To Pull
Upset Against Oklahoma
An underdog Nebraska
football team will be gunning
for a big upset when they
take the field at Memorial
Stadium for their Homecom
ing Day battle with Okla
homa. Kickoff is at 2 p.m. -
The Huskers haven't
beaten Oklahoma since 1942
when they took a 7-0 win
from the Sooners at Nor
man. It was also the last
time a conference team has
defeated Oklahoma at Nor
man. Near Upset
Kansas came close to up
setting the Sooners at Nor
man last week but Oklahoma
sneaked by with a 7-6 decis
ion. This could be a bad
omen for the Huskers since
Oklahoma has a reputation
for being particularly tough
after being embarrassed.
Colorado found that out the
hard way as Oklahoma
showed no mercy in handing
them a 42-12 trouncing after
the Sooners were badly
beaten by Northwestern the
ingly never-tiring and never
injured Dwight Nichols car
rying the brunt of the Cy
clone single wing attack
from his tailback spot.
The 165-pound seniors needs
just 600 yards to break the
conference total offense
mark of 4,133 yards set by
Paul Christman of Missouri
in three seasons shortly be
fore World War II.
Since Nichols has four
games to go this season he
would have to go at a 150
yard per game clip.

week before In th "fruit
salad" affair.
The Huskers haven't scored
against Oklahoma in the last
six games and a scoring
punch is what Nebraska has
been lacking so far this sea
son. Oklahoma is the only con
ference team which leads Ne
braska in their series history.
The Sooners hold a 19-16 edge
in games won with three tie
games.
Orange Bowl
This year's Nebraska team
was rated an outside chance
of going to the Orange Bowl
but they have been eliminated
from the race after losses
to Kansas and Missouri. Ne
braska has a 2-4 mark for
the season with a three-game
losing streak going into the
Oklahoma game.
The Huskers lost their
opener, 20-0, to Texas and
then bounced back with an
impressive win over .Minne
sota by a 32-12 count which
had Husker partisans think
ing about days gone by. But
after making it two in a row
with a win over Oregon
State, the Huskers have been
a disappointment, mainly be
cause of their inability to
score.
Nebraska has scored only
three points in two confer
ence games and has failed to
score more than a touch
down in any one game since
the Minnesota rout.
The Huskers reviewed all
phases of the game in a brief
workout Thursday afternoon.
Noel Martin will miss the
Oklahoma game with an in
jury suffered in the Missouri
loss last week.
Roger Brede and Roland
McDole have been nursing
hurts all week but are ex
pected to be ready to go
against the Sooners.
More Players
Head Coach Bill Jennings
indicated that he expected to
use a maximum number of
players to keep pace with
Oklahoma's substitutions. The
most players used by Ne
braska thus far has been 29
against Indiana.
Thirty-three Nebraska play
ers have seen action so far
with 30 of those being ready
to play against Oklahoma.

The three who will not see
action are quarterback Tom
Kramer and end Pat Salerno,
both of whom are out for
the season, and Noel Martin.
"We plan to open our of
fense more but there is the
problem of field position. We
haven't had good field posi
tion since the Kansas gams,"
said Jennings. In the last
two games, the Huskers have
been operating mainly from
their own territory.
The game will be the third
of the season for Bud Wilkin
son against teams ' coached
by former Oklahoma stars.
In the first one Darrell
Royal, an All-American quar
terback under Wilkinson, led
his Texas team to a 19-12
win over the Sooners.
Last week, Jack Mitchell's
Jayhawks gave the Sooners
a scare before losing 7-6.
Mitchell was a quarterback
at Oklahoma from 1946-48.
