Scanning the Big 8
OKLAHOMA 23. COLORADO 0
Oklahoma's speedy Sooners kept pace with the league leading Kansas Javhawks by playing near error-free football in shutting out the Golden Buffaloes for the first time in 25 games. The Sooner's defense pressured Colorado into throwing three interceptions and fumbling once. Meanwhile Oklahoma lost the ball once on a fumble. Oklahoma Head Coach Chuck Fairbanks said it was the Sooners' best game of the season.
MISSOURI 7, OKLAHOMA STATE 0
The Tigers, doing what they do best, limited the Cowboys to 114 yards total offense and got a 31 yard punt return to the eight yard line by Roger Wehrli, setting up the game's only touchdown. Although giving up 233 yards total offense to Missouri, the 'Pokes were stubborn in the clutch.
NEBRASKA 12, JOWA STATE 0
The Cornhuskers proved why they are leading the nation in defense by holding the Cyclones to minus 5 yards rushing and 83 yards passing. Nebraska quarterback Frank Patrick, playing without his top pass receiver, Dennis Richnafsky, hit on 4 of 17 tosses for 111 yards in leading a sputtering Cornhuskor offense.

Chief's Mitchell plagues Namath
It's funny, Hank Stram said, how the opposition always picks on Willie Mitchell.
"Particularly since he's as fine a cornerback as there is in the league," Stram said Sunday after his Kansas City Chiefs rolled over the New York Jets, 42-18.
Mitchell, target of much criticism in the Chiefs' Super Bowl loss to Green Bay last January, was at his best against the Jets and Joe Namath Sunday, intercepting two passes and returning one for a touchdown.
His interception with a minute left in the first half set the stage for Jan Stenerud's 32-yard field goal that gave the Chiefs a 13-10 halftime lead and his 27-yard touchdown run with a pass theft early in the third quarter turned the game into a rout.
Turning Point
"This was our best overall performance of the season," Stram said. "It's quite obvious we're getting better each week. It's very encouraging."
Stram, Namath and Jets' coach Weeb Ewbank all agreed it was Mitchell's second interception, which vaulted the Chiefs into a commanding 28-10 advantage, that turned the game.
The victory kept the Chiefs alive in the American Football League's Western division at 5-3. The dets, despite losing stayed on top in the East at 5-2-1.
Wildcats win distance title
Kansas State University successfully defended its Kansas Federation Cross-Country team title Saturday by scoring 35 points to second place KU's 40.
Individual winner for the three mile course was Wichita State's Ray Old Person in a course record of 15.01. Second was Mike Tarry of K-State and third Dennis Petterson, running unattached for KU.
Six Kansas schools were represented at the meet. Each school was allowed five team members and two "pushers." Unattached runners could participate but their efforts were not counted toward team points.
Couldn't Stop Garrett
Quarterback Len Dawson and halfback Mike Garrett shared game honors with Mitchell. Dawson threw touchdown passes of 20 and 14 yards and Garrett netted 192 yards rushing and scored once on a three-yard smash over left tackle early in the third quarter.
"We haven't had anyone run on us like the Chiefs did. They're a fine blocking team," Ewbank added.
"Garrett's an excellent football player," Ewbank said. "We couldn't stop him, that's all. When we did stop him on one side he'd go to the other.
