Title Up for Grabs
In Big Eight Race
This year's Big Eight Foot
ball race shapes up as one of
the closest battles in , many
years with five teams in con
tention for the title: Missou
ri, Iowa TState, Kansas, Okla
home and Nebraska.
But the success of the con
tenders will depend largely
on showings of key veterans
and the sophomores.
Colorado, after being shak
en up by the NCAA, find
themselves with a new coach
in William (Bud) Davis who
has only high school coaching
experience.
Davis has only nine return
ing lettermen including stal
warts Ken Blair, an end and
most heralded athletes to
come from Nebraska in many
years.
Coleman Returns
Fullback is no problem with
last year's Most Valuable
Player in the Blue Bonnett
Bowl, Ken Coleman, filling
the spot.
The Jayhawk line appears
as strong as last year's with
the addition of sophomores
Buddy Walker and Mike
O'Brien.
Kansas State appears cellar-bound
again even though
18 of 22 lettermen return. The
Wildcats are strong at the
ends with Darrell . Elder and
Willie Crenshaw and have

offense but the loss of Quarter
back Gale Weidner by gradua
tion and four probable start
ers by a Big Eight ruling has
left the Buffaloes in the
midst of a rebuilding pro
gram. I-State Shifts
Iowa State has shifted
from the single-wing to the
single-wing T and has also
shifted to a strong contender
for the first time in many
years.
The success of the Cyclones
new offense depends largely
on the adjustment of Dave
Hoppman, last year's nation
al offense leader.
Hoppman has been used at
quarterback by Coach Clay
Missouri Tough
Missouri appears the team
to beat with Keith Weber, a
hardship case last year, tak
ing the quarterback spot.
Weber is a fine runner and
passer but is untested.
Otherwise, the Tigers are
strong in the backfield and
in the line.
Bud Wilkinson's Oklahoma
squad has high hopes but
face Syracuse, Notre Dame
and Texas right off the bat.
The Sobner line shows signs
of the old Oklahoma, but the
backfield must be rebuilt aft
er being wiped out by gradu
ation. Oklahoma State has 22 re-
