Page 6 University Daily Kansan Tuesday, Oct. 9, 1962 By Steve Clark Nebraska is the team to beat. One major item of business was solved in last weekend's Big Eight conference action. THE CORNHUSKERS answered many questions concerning how good they were, and how good Iowa State was by soundly defeating the Cyclones, 36-22. The Missouri Tigers again did not live up to expectations as they defeated Arizona (which incidentally is not among the nation's top teams) 17-7. The Tigers have yet to stage an offensive show of their capabilities. The Jayhawkers proved little by wearing Colorado down and then soundly whipping them in the second half. This prognosticator picked up perfect slate last week raising his season average to .705. With a win string going, here's another round. KANSAS OVER IOWA STATE: This is the biggest game of the year for the Cyclones. With a win, they remain in contention for the Big Eight title. With a loss, they are out. Nebraska soundly defeated them and Iowa State will be revengeful because of this. To add to the misery of the Jayhawkers, this game is homecoming at Ames, which should put the Cyclones higher than a kite, KU, while soundly defeating Colorado, did it in the second half after the Buffers were tired. Iowa State has much more depth than Colorado, therefore, this method will not be practical. This game is important for the Jayhawkers. If KU can win against Iowa State and Oklahoma, the Jayhawkers will be a sound title contender. Apprehension prevails, but KU by one touchdown. TEXAS OVER OKLAHOMA: The Sooners and the Longhorns square off again before a television audience. The Sooners were idle last week, while the Longhorns handled Tulane 25-6. Texas has a 3-0 record and is the nation's number one team this week. Old rivalries are always upset prone, but the Sooners don't have a smell in this one. Texas by three touchdowns. NEBRASKA OVER NORTH Carolina State. Nebraska is worn and tattered after their two games with Michigan and Iowa State. This game is designed for a breather, which the Cornhuskers need. Thunder Thornton will probably sit this one out. Dennis Claridge will play only on offense. State has a strong defensive team, so this one will be Nebraska by two touchdowns. MISSOURI OVER Kansas State: This one is a match between the tortoise and the hare. We have anticipated an offensive explosion by Missouri all season. This week, we will get our wish. You see, everybody has an offensive field day against Kansas State. The Wildcats, however, will hold Missouri to five touchdowns. OKLAHOMA STATE over Colorado: This league encounter is being played at Stillwater which gives the Cowboys an edge. Colorado came out of the Kansas game without physical injury, but worn down. The Cowboys defeated a strong Tulsa team 17-7. The Buffaloes will battle them in the first half, but lose it in the second by one touchdown. NEW VORK — (UPI) — The United Press International major college football ratings with first-place votes and won-lost records in parentheses: National Rankings Team Points 1. Texas (6) (3-0) 296 2.

Northwestern (1) (2-0) 80 Texas, Alabama Top UPI Rankings NEW YORK (UPI) Alabama drew the first place votes but Texas had the better overall point total today to gain the No.1 spot in the weekly United Press International major college football ratings. Eighteen of the 35 coaches who comprise the UPI rating board named the Crimson Tide, unbeaten in three straight games this year and 20 in-a-row, to the top spot while only six picked Texas No. 1. But the Longhorns, also unbeaten in three games this season, drew second place support from 14 coaches and third from nine others to replace Ohio State as the nation's top team. With points awarded on a basis of 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for votes from first through 10th places, Texas had 296 to 291 for Alabama in one of the closest races ever in the UPI ratings. Alabama is the defending national champion. Haller and Hiller Are Yank Killers By Oscar Fraley UPI Sports Writer First it was Haller. Then it was Hiller. One started the pallor, The last was the killer. The Jingle boys of the San Francisco Giants—catcher Tom Haller and second baseman Charles (Chuck) Hiller—often this season have been the object, source and sometime butt of the jinglers. Even Danny Kaye has a comic song about them. BUT YOU CAN take it from the New York Yankees, there's very little humor about the manner in which these two similarly named young gents flogged the Bronx Bombers with their own home run weapon yesterday to square the World Series. Haller, not Hiller, smote a second inning home run with a man on which gave the Giants a 2-0 lead. Local Cricket Team Defeats KSU Squad Hiller, not Haller, walloped the first National League grand slam in series history—the Yankees owning six of the seven previously written into the record books—to stow away a 7-3 victory. YOU MIGHT EXPECT it from Haller, if not from Hiller. Haller is a six foot, four inch 195-pound out of Lockport, Ill., who was a University of Illinois quarterback on the same grid team with the great Bobby Mitchell. He already had walloped 18 home runs this year so another wasn't to be considered too remote a possibility. But while you could look for such heroics from Haller, it seemed unlikely from Haller when he trudged to the plate with the sacks full of Giants in the seventh inning. For Hiller, not Haller, had hit only three home runs during this entire wacky baseball season in which the Giants collared the Los Angeles Dodgers, beat them out of the National League pennant in a three-game playoff and as of today were no worse than in a flat-footed tie at two games each with the mighty Yankees. Hiller and Haller both started as regulars with the Giants last year and it was Haller, not Hiller, who on his first time at bat in the major leagues struck a home run. But eventually both of them were sent down to the farm. HILLER, NOT HALLER. is built on a smaller scale than his teammate. The second baseman, who hails from Johnsburg, Ill., a town of about 1,000 people, is five feet, 10 inches tall and goes but 170 pounds. He studied business administration at St. Thomas, Minn., College and admits to arriving "very late" in the majors. Hiller was 26 when he stuck while Haller was 25. "It's all very confusing," says Hiller of his relations with Haller. "We get mixed up a lot. People call me Tom Hiller and call him Chuck Haller when really it's Chuck Hiller and Tom Haller, as you probably know. Then I get mail addressed to Tom Haller and he gets mail addressed to Chuck Hiller, and it's really for one or the other of us, although sometimes we're not too sure, at that." The Lawrence Cricket team defeated the Kansas State University Cricket team with a lead of 74 runs last Sunday on K-State ROTC grounds. The Lawrence Cricket team batted first, and made 121 runs. Ramesh Doshi and Ali Hassan scored 19 and 51 runs respectively. Both were retired. Having a Party?
