The Kansas team as yet had not been scored upon except by the field
goal but Bennie Owens! Oklahoma Sooners, which proved to be the
champion team of the Missouri Valley Conference in 1920, took their
measure at Norman 21-9. It was one of the greatest games ever
played at Norman so the followers of the Sooners say.

Nebraska had withdrawn from the conference due to a disagreement
between the conference and the University of Nebraska. Nebraska
contended that they desired to play their football games at Omaha
because the Medical School of Nebraska was located there .and they
had a perfect right to do so. The other schools objected to this
ruling and Nebraska withdrew from the Missouri Valley Conference.

And, although the other schools of the conference had a two year
agreement which carried over from 1920, the other schools refused
to play their 1920 schedule with the Cornhuskers. However, Kansas
kept her agreement and was the only one of the Missouri Valley
schools to play the Cornhuskers that year.

The Kansas team w ith an average weight of but 162 lbs. per man
met the Cornhuskers who had 19 men on the squad who weighed better
than 190 lbs. The Nebraska Cornhuskers had just returned from
New York City where they defeated Colgate 20-0. Kansas had one
man on the squad that weighed better than 190 lbs. and that was
Edwin Sandefur, Kansas tackle.
