Four Jayhawks are 'All-Big Eight'
By Bill Osthoff
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI)— Oklahoma's champion Sooners placed five players on the 1937 United Press International All-Big Eight football team, which for the first time, included two quarterbacks in the same backfield.
Versatile Bob Warmack of Oklahoma and Kansas' Bob Douglass, who missed the Big
Jayhawks named to the 1967 UPI All-Big Eight football team:
First team offense: John Greene, guard; Bob Douglass, back: First team defense: John Zook, end; Mike Sweatman, linebacker.
Second team defense: Mickey Doyle, linebacker.
Second team offense: Harold Montgomery, tackle.
Honorable mention offense:
Keith Christensen, tackle.
Honorable mention defense: Vernon Vanoy, end; Emery Hicks, guard.
Eight single-season total offense record by only eight yards, both were honored by UPI's panel of 24 writers and broadcasters.
In addition to Warmack, the third-ranked and Orange Bowlbound Sooners also landed tailback Steven Owens, offensive tackle Bob Kalsu, middle guard Granville Liggins—who was voted a defensive tackle slot—and defensive end John Koller.
Kansas and Missouri each had
four first team selections and Colorado, headed for the Bluebonnet Bowl, placed three. Only Iowa State failed to land a player among the top 22.
Voting heated
Voting for virtually all positions was heated. None of the first team selections was unanimous, although Kansas State backeader Danny Lankas and Colorado safety Dick Anderson missed by one ballot. Kalsu and Missouri defensive back Roger Wehrli were each two votes shy.
Wayne Meylan, Nebraska's overpowering middle guard, Lankas and Kansas linebacker Mike Sweatman were the only holdovers from the 1966 alleague team.
Warmack, a frail-looking but poised 6-foot, 170-pounder, has totaled 1,261 yards through the Sooners' first nine games. As a junior, he already holds five Oklahoma passing marks and needs only 25 yards throwing and 78 total yards Saturday against Oklahoma State to set two more Sooner records.
Douglass is a bold 6-3, 206-pound junior who played the key role in Kansas' unprecedented climb from the Big Eight cellar to a tie for second place in a single season. He finished with 1,741 total yards, four times gained 200 or more yards in a single game and twice was voted Big Eight Back of the Week.
Warmack and Douglass were paired in the backfield with
Owens only sophomore
Owens, the lone sophomore among the top 22, and Barry Lischner, Missouri's bruising fullback.
Owens needs only 46 yards against OSU Saturday to wrest the Big Eight rushing title from Nebraska fullback Dick Davis, who landed a second team backfield berth.
Split end Dave Jones of Kansas State, the league's No. 1 pass receiver, and Nebraska's Dennis Richafsky were voted the two offensive ends. Joining Kalsu in the interior line were Missouri's Russell Washington at tackle, guards Kirk Tracy of Colorado and John Greene of Kansas and Oklahoma State center Jon Kolb.
The No.1 defensive unit included probably the league's best two middle guards in history in Meyland and Liggins, with Liggins earning a defensive tackle spot.
Meylan, a 240-pound senior and a 1966 All-America, bolstered Nebraska's outstanding defensive corps which led the nation in total defense. Liggins a smaller but lightning-quick 216-pound senior, was the big reason the Sooners ranked No. 1 nationally in scoring defense.

Colorado's Frank Bosch was paired with Liggins at defensive tackle with Kansas' John Zook and Oklahoma's Koller the defensive ends.

Lankas, Sweatman and Missouri's John Douglas were solid choices as the all-league line-

Cornelius Davis, K-State's fine junior tailback who was an all-league choice as a sophomore in 1966, made the second team back-

Did you like beer the first time you tasted it?
A lot of people say no. They say beer is one of those good things you cultivate a taste for . . . like
olives, or scotch, or kumquats.
Maybe. But we think it makes a difference which brand of beer we're talking about.
We think Budweiser
is an exception to this "you've gotta get used to it" rule. It's so smooth. (You see, no other
beer is Beechwood Aged; it's a costly way to brew beer, and it takes more time. But it
works.)
So whether you're one of the few who has never tried beer, or a beer drinker who suddenly feels the urge to find out why so many people enjoy
Budweiser, we think you'll like it.
From the very first taste.
Budweiser.
...best reason in the world to drink beer
