Oklahoma , the traditional upset team of Big Seven

tournament history, will again wear that guise into the ninth anmal

meet , which opens a four-day run in Municipal auditorium next Monday.
The Sooners can hope for nothing elsee They do not

own the size nor a bility to cope with the likes cof Missourf, Colorado and
Californias Furthermore, they will come into tle affair carrying four
consecutive losses. pat est was @& hammering by Ohio State last “aturday
in Norman ( fill in score )e Before that they fell to Baylor, 64-80, and
79-86, and to Wisconsin, an easy victim for Missouri, 66-77. Complicating
this misery is the fact that three of those decisions went dow the drain
on their home plankse Significant is the fact that they played Saylor
tighter at Wacose... seven points.e... thm thy df at Norman...+-16 pointse

All this adds to a perfect upset cloake
