Buffs' Success Credited to Slate
By United Press International
By Charles
No one seriously believes the Colorado Buffaloes stand a chance of finishing in the first division of the Big Eight Conference football race—unless it's the Buffaloes.
Even Colorado's sports publicity director, poetic Fred Casotti credits the Buffs' early league lead (2-0) to the easy, early-season schedule.
Casotti expressed his beliefs poet-
Pro Analyzes KU
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe and his son were watching the closing moments of Saturday's KU-Iowa State football game from the 30-yard line near the south end of the Cyclones' bench.
Chancellor Wescoe, having watched the Jayhawks' field goal effort fail, took a puff on his cigar, turned around and shook hands with one of KU's most enthusiastic followers — Curtis McClinton.
The game was the last KU game McClinton, former KU all-America halfback will get to see this season. His duties with the Kansas City Chiefs will keep him a way from Mount Oread.
"KU is always the team that can hand OU a terrific surprise," McClinton said. "No team's ball control is better than Oklahoma's, but the Jayhawks running attack is better.
"If the line can keep on with their effectiveness in clutch circumstances, the team will be able to pile up scores that will at least mean victories over teams with offensive attacks that aren't completely up to par.
"I will never take anything away from Gale Sayers. He broke away in the ISU game, and, continuing this, he will remain one of the finest running backs in the nation.
"He has speed and perfect ability to catch a pass—something I can't do. He can throw it, too."

"The Buffaloes are leading the league
And I want to congratulate
"Crowder, his team and the gentlemen."
"Who drew up the '63 slate."
TO DATE. Colorado has defeated Kansas State and Oklahoma State, admittedly choice candidates for the second division. But this Saturday, the Buffs host Iowa State, which last week surprised highly-regarded Kansas.
If Colorado should upset Iowa State, the Buffs will have to be considered seriously for a first division finish.
Wednesday, Colorado ended contact work for Saturday's homecoming. The club may be without the services of starting halfback Ted Sommerville because of a knee injury.
Iowa State, 1-1 in league play, went through its last heavy drill before the weekend contest. Coach Clay Stapleton said he planned no lineup changes for the game.
FOR THE FIRST time this season, the Saturday slate will be entirely conference action. KU goes to Oklahoma, Kansas State hosts Nebraska and Missouri is at Oklahoma State.
Oklahoma, with or without halfback Joe Don Looney, is heavily favored to take KU. Looney was booted off the team after Texas beat the Sooners last week.
"They'll be desperate to come back," said KU Coach Jack Mitchell. "This will be the most fired up Oklahoma team we've ever faced because of the loss to Texas and the shakeup in their squad."
In Soonerland, Oklahoma announced it may be without the services of center Carl McAdams and halfback Larry Shields. McAdams suffered a severe muscle sprain in practice and Shields has been sidelined with flu.

THE SOONERS MAY NOT have the services of Joe Don Looney when they meet KU Saturday, and Bud Wilkinson may not be a U.S. senator, but the Sooners (barring injury) will still have Jim Grisham, their 6-2, 205-pound junior fullback. Last year, Grisham rushed for 711 yards and scored eight touchdowns. Grisham picked up 74 yards in OU's loss to No.1 rated Texas last Saturday.
