Seniors vs. Sooners:
More than game to some
By STEVE SHRIVER
Kansan Sports Writer
Oklahoma leads in the series with Kansas, 39-21-6, and this Saturday the Sooners are expected to improve on that record. But football games aren't played on paper and KU should, in spite of their 1-7 record (or maybe because of it), carry a psychological edge into this year's contest in Norman.
The Jayhawks will be looking for revenge because of several factors: 1) The Sooners spoiled what would have been KU's perfect record through the regular season last year by coming from behind in the last quarter to win, 27-23. 2) This year's seniors have never beaten an Oklahoma team in three meetings including the freshman tilt in 1966. 3) In 1967, oranges thrown onto the playing field by OU fans in "the snakepit" (asOU's Owen Field is called
by other conference teams) caused several official timeout in the fourth quarter. Subsequently, Oklahoma launched a drive in the waning minutes and came from behind to score a 14-10 victory.
It has always been a fierce ri-
Hicks has his own personal reasons for wanting to beat Oklahoma. Hicks will be playing opposite one of his best friends in high school.

Tiger tussle telecast
KU's Nov. 22 football game with Missouri at Lawrence has been selected by the American Broadcasting Company for its regional "wild card" telecast, Wade Stinson, KU athletic director, announced Wednesday.
The 78th staging of the ancient Jayhawk-Tiger rivalry will be one of four regional telecasts that afternoon as the opening half of a video doubleheader. The UCLA-Southern California game will be telecast on a national basis as the second半球.
Stinson said the Kansas-Missouri game will kick off at 12:20 p.m. in order to fit into the format of the doubleheader. This is a change from the original 1:30 p.m. starting time.
As a result of the earlier kick-off time, Stinson said that stadium gates will open at 11 a.m. Stinson also encouraged fans to arrive early, not only for the new kick-off time but also to help ease the traffic problem that would result from a sellout crowd.
The KU-MU game was sold out at 51,500 six weeks ago.
