KU Runners Win League Meet
By Russ Corbitt (Assistant Sports Editor)
Team depth, an essential factor in all team sports, was certainly present Saturday when the KU cross country team easily won the Big Eight Conference meet here.
The Jayhawks, led by Paul Acevedo in second place, finished the three-mile race with their five scoring runners among the top eight. All seven KU runners finished among the top 12.
KU WON THE MEET with 26 points, far ahead of second-place Oklahoma State's 80 points. Missouri finished third with 82 points, and
defending champion Colorado finished fourth with 85 points.
Robin Lingle of Missouri, a transfer student from West Point, was the individual winner with a time of 14:19.8.
David Wighton and Bob Griffith of Colorado finished fourth and fifth, respectively, followed by KU's John Donner, Herald Hadley and Ken Holm.
KU's Acevedo finished three seconds behind Lingle with a time of 14:23. He was followed by sophomore John Lawson of KU.
Chick Fero and George Cabrera, finished 11th and 12th for KU.
League Showdown Nears
United Press International
Zero hour in the Big Eight Conference football title battle will come at 2 p.m. Nov. 23 at Lincoln, Neb.
That's when the defending champion Oklahoma Sooners collide with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Both teams currently are unbeaten in conference play and both are ranked in the top 10 nationally.
The countdown before the big game will be tougher for Oklahoma, because the Sooners have to get by rugged Missouri this Saturday. At the same time, Nebraska will be meeting Oklahoma State, which hasn't won a league game this season.
OTHER GAMES this Saturday include Kansas at Colorado and Kansas State at Iowa State.
The Nebraska-Kansas Saturday encounter featured a 99-yard touchdown rush by halfback Gale Sayers of Kansas, a candidate for All-America honors. The brilliant run, which bettered the 98-yard conference record set in 1943 by Meredith Warner of Iowa State, made the score 10-9 in favor of Nebraska early in the fourth period.
The powerful Cornhuskers responded by driving 75 yards for one touchdown and racing 53 yards with a pass interception for another.
Oklahoma and Nebraska have been following a script all season for the Nov. 23 spectacular. In pre-season polls, the Sooners were rated favorites to repeat and the Huskers were picked as the team most likely to wrest the crown from Oklahoma.

ACEVEDO, LINGLE and Lawson were the leaders for the race after the one-mile mark. Acevedo led at the half-way mark with a time of 6:57, but Lingle overtook him at the two-mile point, and maintained a slight lead throughout the remainder of the race.
All 53 entrants finished the race, although one Iowa State runner collapsed twice before he staggered and fell over the finish line. He was taken to the hospital and reported to be in satisfactory condition.

"I was extremely proud of our team," he said. "Of course, you know they lived up to the Jayhawk tradition. They did a terrific job when the pressure was on."
