Saturday's KU-Oklahoma game promises to be one of the most colorful in years.
FIRST, the Sooners, still smarting from give-away losses to Notre Dame and Texas, open Big Eight play. After two losses, the Sooners have one hope to salvage what could be a disappointing season by winning the Big Eight championship.
SECOND. the Jayhawkers are unmarried in Big Eight play after resounding victories over Colorado and Iowa State. The OU game could decide the league championship. The winner is in good position to go all the way.
THIRD, interest toward Jayhawker football is at an all-time peak. Enthusiasm by the student body is unparalleled by recent years. The cheerleaders report upmost success in directing organized yells.
FOURTH, a big pre-game rally-
dance is being staged to promote a
“Beat OU” school spirit. This is the first pre-game rally-dance to be staged in recent years. It will be held at the Big Barn, west of Lawrence, Friday night from 9-12. The charge is $1.50 per couple.
FIFTH. the game can be termed a sellout. There still remain a few bleacher seats but these will be gobbled up in the next few days.
SIXTH, the band will stage a half-time-show featuring precision drill. It will be this show that the band will probably perform at Kansas State and Oklahoma State.
KU promises to have a "real college football weekend" on its hands. Hawk's Nest and Strong basement talk is already being centered around Saturday's game.
Try a barber shop. The local hair surgeons will talk a customer's ear off concerning the Oklahoma game.
WHAT ABOUT the prospects of the game? It has to be termed a toss-up. The Jayhawkers have somewhat of a mental block toward the Sooners.
The Jayhawkers won at Norman 10-0 last year, but the score should have been much more. KU has not defeated Oklahoma in Memorial Stadium since 1946 when Vince Turner's field goal gave the Jayhawkers a 16-13 victory. This is liable to put the pressure on the Jayhawkers.
Sig Alphs Win; Betas in First
Beta Theta Pi took over undisputed first place of division one of the Fraternity A intramural football yesterday by soundly defeating Tau Kappa Epsilon 36-0.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon knocked Sigma Chi from the unbeaten ranks winning a 26-21 thriller.
IN OTHER DIVISION one action.
Delta Tau Delta won by forfeit from
Lambda Chi Alpha.
Beta Theta Pi's record now stands 3-0, while Sigma Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Tau Delta are close behind with 2-1 records. Lambda Chi Alpha and Tau Kappa Epsilon are winless in three outings.
Don Warner was the Beta's outstanding performer as he snapped five touchdown passes against the TKE's.
MIKE MASON and John Williams were Sigma Alpha Epsilon's mainstays in its win over Sigma Chi. The two speedsters riddled the Sigs secondary to snag quarterback Jim Meyer's passes. Both caught two touchdown passes.
Penalties were Sigma Chi's downfall. The Sigs were penalized 120 yards compared to Sigma Alpha Epsilon's 15.
The Sigs trailed 26-14 midway in the fourth quarter, but a Bob Benz to Norm Schwartzkopf pass made it 26-21. On the last play of the game, Benz connected with Dave Barrier, who played despite a badly injured leg, who was stopped on the two-way line.
SCHWARTZKOPF caught two touchdown passes while Dick Rader snagged one. The Sig offense was hampered in the first half, until 6-5, 220-pound end John Hornung arrived from class. The Benz-Hornung combination moved the ball down field only to be set back by numerous penalties.
Benz continued his record of PAT's. The Bartlesville, Okla., quarterback has connected on six-of-six. On one PAT, the Sigs were penalized, but Benz sent a 33-yard kick through the uprights.
In Independent A action, Foster defeated Templin 20-6. In Independent B play between Oread and Foster, there was a double forfeit.

SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) — Manager Alvin Dark, who is batting 1,000 so far this year on his predictions, was on the spot today with his biggest of the season—that the San Francisco Giants would win the World Series.
Dark Predicts SF Victory
Every time the Yankees took the lead in the current series, Dark predicted that his forces would "bounce back."
BILLY PIERCE helped them do it yesterday, hurling his second three-hitter in two weeks. The first came on Oct. 1 when he blanked the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-0, in the opening game of their playoff.
"The only way to beat the Yankees is in seven games," the soft-spoken "sheriff" said after his Giants had squared things at 3-3 yesterday. "We'll win it in seven. I've got a good ball club."
IT WAS LAST January that Dark had told a sports banquet, "I think this team will win the pennant."
Then Billy posted another yesterday, sticking mainly with fast balls in a stadium where he never has been beaten.
"Yes, I say that this is a wonderful park," the boyish 35-year-old left-hander laughed yesterday when reminded that he had a 12-0 record at Candlestick Park during the regular season.
PIERCE TOOK the big win in his brisk stride, and the rest of the Giants seemed almost subdued although they had pulled even in a World Series that they were not expected to reach.
"I'll be ready to go tomorrow," Pierce said when told that Dark would load his bullpen with every hurler on the staff. "Heck, I've got nothing to save for this winter."

Fierce wobbled only in the fifth inning when Roger Maris powered a curve ball far over the right field fence for a home run and Elston Howard followed by reaching second base on a throwing error by third baseman Jim Davenport.
BUT, WITH the bullpen up, Pierce worked his way out of the inning and eventually ended the game by fanning Maris on a fast ball. "I pitched (Mickey) Mantle the same as I did the others." Pierce, who held him hitless in four trips, lowered "The Mick's" series batting mark to .091.
But Billy wouldn't disclose just what he was throwing to the fearsome switch-hitter.
While the former Chicago White Sox mainstay was keeping to form, Orlando Cepeda regained his by collecting three hits, one of them a booming double off Whitey Ford that brought in a run.
"I had to do something," said Cepeda, who went into the game 0-for-12 in the series. "It looks like those rainstouts helped me get some rest. And I went back to a heavier bat—a 35 ounce one that I used to go for five against the Phillies last August."
