KU Changes Character Of Sooners' 'Snake Pit'
Bv Bob Jones
Yes, it was going to be a fine football game. The Sooners were on the rebound after an embarrassing loss to Texas, and they were going to tear that team--uh, KU wasn't it—to shreds.
These thoughts were uppermost in the OU fans' minds as they filed into Owen Stadium, and anyone who was a Jayhawk rooter had these thoughts expressed to them in no uncertain terms.
About 30 minutes later, 60,826 fans sat stunned. Gale Sayers had just run 61 yards for a touchdown, and the 1,000 Jayhawk fans who attended the game were going wild.
Distance Men Defeat Drake
KU's cross country team will be trying for its 21st consecutive dual meet victory when it opens Big Eight Conference action at Oklahoma Saturday.
The Jayhawk distance men defeated Drake here Saturday, 15-48.
Paul Acevedo placed first in 14:59
over the three-mile course. The rest
of the KU team finished within a
one-minute span.
Acevedo, John Lawson, Tonnie Coane, Herald Hadley, and Chick Fero gave KU a 1-2-3-4-5 finish. George Cabrera placed seventh and Ken Holm finished eighth.
THEY PROCEEDED to let every Sooner sympathizer in hearing range know, in no uncertain terms, who was going to win the game.
As a matter of fact, some of the KU fans approached hysteria in telling the Oklahomans the Sooners were overrated, washed up, and could not get along without Joe Don Looney.
It is not normal for the average passive KU football fan to react so violently in such a manner. The story behind this is the attitude of OU football fans toward their team.
To the average football fan from another Big Eight school, there is nothing in the world more obnoxious than a Sooner fan.
At football games, they make so much noise that Owen Field, the Sooners' home stadium, has come to be known as the "Snake Pit."
When the Sooners took the field, a roar went up that almost shook the foundations of the concrete bleachers, and loud shouts of "Go get 'em OU" filled the air.
FOR YEARS these OU fans have seen nothing but winning football and have become convinced there is no finer team in the nation. They have good reason to believe this, (Wilkinson's record to date 134-26-4) and they also tell everyone in loud strident tones.
THE KU FANS were still a little bit scared the OU football team might run over the Jayhawks so only mild shouts of encouragement were offered.
After Sayers made his long run, the scene changed. Except for the
one time the Sooners scored, things in the "Snake Pit" were not quite normal.
For one glorious half KU fans saw their team lead the defending league champions. They screamed and raved and drew woeful looks from the OU fans trying to decide what kind of madmen had been turned loose in the stadium.

In that first half, Owen Field was strangely silent. Only on brief occasions did the Sooner faithful find something to cheer about. There were boo's whenever OU was penalized and groans when they fumbled.

IN THE SECOND HALF, the mood of the crowd began to change. OU took the lead in the ball game on a third quarter touchdown, and by the fourth quarter, the "Snake Pit" was normal again.
