"narold Keith of Oklahoma wrote that Coach Bruce Dreke
welcomed the Sooners’ eastern basketball trip ‘with ite
handicaps of crackerbox courts, slick floors, weird
officiating interpretations and hostile crowis.'
Drake's idea seemed to be, according to Tub Thumper
Keith, thet the jaunt would ideally season his team for
‘the difficult Big Six conference race’.

Well, the Sooners couldn't miss getting plenty of
seasoning, but what New Yorkers would like to imow is
when the Madison Square Garden floor was reduced to the |

it is apparent that the good people of the prairie
have taken Dr. Forrest C. Allen of Kansag too seriously.

If they don't watch out, Dre Phog Allen eventually will
convinoe them college football is on its way out.

Dr. Allen has been shouting that for a decade."
