SOONER BACKFIELD—Here's the Oklahoma backfield that started against the Texas Longhorns in its 9-6 heartbreaker loss at Dallas Saturday. The same four are expected to start
against the Jayhawkers in Memorial Stadium this week. (L-R) quarterback Monte Deere, right halfback Paul Lea, left halfback Charles Mayhue and fullback Jim Grisham.

The Big Eight is faring as expected these days.
That is, the past two weeks, this prognosticator has scored perfect slates in his pre-game predictions.
The season record now stands 17 right, five wrong for a .773 average. With four conference games on tap this weekend, the .800 mark is within reach.
KANSAS OVER OKLAHOMA:
We would like to call this one a toss-up, but don't like to be thought of as "wishy-washy". As we see it, this decides the Big Eight for the Kansas Jayhawkers. If KU wins, we foresee them capturing a Big Eight championship. For OU, the importance of the game is the same. This is the first league game for the Sooners after losses to Notre Dame and Texas. If the Sooners could get off on the right foot, they too could go all the way.
One of the Jayhawkers main problems will be getting too "up" for this game. That's what happened two years ago when the Sooners and the Jayhawkers met in Memorial Stadium. After the 13-13 tie, Coach Jack Mitchell made one of his most memorable quotes, "A nervous hen breeds nervous chickens."
Since OU is Mitchell's alma mater, he might have the Jayhawkers "too high" for this game. If KU relaxes, plays the football it's capable, then the Jayhawkers can win.
We hesitate, but call it Kansas, by one touchdown.
If not, the Sooners could stomp the Javahkers into the turf.
NEBRASKA OVER KANSAS STATE: The Cornhusker backfield will look like the Nebraska sprinters in last year's Big Eight indoor track meet. Poor Kansas State, prayers won't even help in this one. To top it all, the game is being played at Lincoln, the Cornhuskers favorite hunting grounds. This score will be something like the South Dakota
game. Let's call it Nebraska by five touchdowns.
IOWA STATE OVER COLORADO: The Cyclones will hit the win columns this week after losing three straight. Coach Clay Stapleton was hung in effigy after the Jayawaker won Saturday. It was evident that the Cyclones were outmanned. Colorado also has a loss string going at two. The Buffaloes will make it three Saturday. Iowa State by three touchdowns.
MISSOURI OVER OKLAHOMA STATE: The Tiger scoring power rolled for the first time last week against Kansas State. This week, the Cowboys will put up a stronger attack. Oklahoma State looked sharp against the Colorado Buffaloes, which isn't saying a whole lot. Surprisingly, this game could be close. Nevertheless, Missouri by two touchdowns.
Sayers Rushes at Fast Pace
KU halfback Gale Sayers is rushing at a faster pace than any sophomore in Jayhawker history. His league-leading total of 403 net yards figures to an average of 100.7 per game. Charlie Hoag's sophomore figure was 940 in 1950.

He got a late start last year, too, straining his back going up for a pass and missing the Notre Dame and Iowa State games. Coach Bud Wilkinson played him on defense against Texas and started him against Kansas, but Sandersfeld dislocated a shoulder going in for a tackle and sat out the rest of the year.

His most weird injury occurred midway of spring training his freshman season of 1960. Spring vacation interrupted the football. Sandersfeld spent his in an odd way—plowing on one of his father's farms northeast of Rocky. The tractor he was driving caught fire,

burning his arms and singeing his hair and eyebrows.
Sandersfeld somersaulted backwards off the seat. He drove a pick-up truck to Rocky, summoned the volunteer fire department, beat it back to the blaze and pumping water furiously from a nearby well hurled it on the fire.
Returning to Norman, he resumed spring practice. Although his arms were covered with scabs.

Sandersfeld has enjoyed only two injury-free football seasons in his life. He went unscathed in 1957 as Hobart high's junior tailback. As Oklahoma's sophomore left half in 1960, he averaged 5.6 net yards per rush for the alternates and ran 36 yards to a touchdown against Missouri's Orange Bowl champions.
