Owens attacks records; Herron heads top scorers
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)—Oklahoma's Steve Owens is closing in on one of the nation's most hallowed scoring records, but he's having a difficult time keeping up with Kansas State's Mack Herron in the Big Eight Conference.
Owens now has 50 touchdowns in three years and needs only one more to tie the national record set by Army's Glenn Davis in 1944-45-46.
But Owens is not leading the Big Eight scoring derby, despite a four-touchdown performance last Saturday against Iowa State. He has 17 touchdowns for 102 points this year.
Herron also had a four-touchdown afternoon against Missouri and now has 18 touchdowns for 108-points. The squat 5-7 by 175 wingback has scored 13 touchdowns in Kansas State's last four games. One more touchdown will give Herron a tie for the school record, set by Harvey Roots in 1909.
NEW YORK (UPI)—The oddsmakers, anticipating another weekend of lopsided college football scores, included only three teams from the top ten in the betting line Tuesday.
Oddsmakers anticipate easy weekend
Third-ranked Tennessee was picked by 21 points over South Carolina and ninth-rated Purdue was given an 11-point margin over Michigan State. However, No. 8 Missouri was expected to have trouble with Oklahoma and was only a one-point favorite.
The rest of the games involving the top ten seemed so one-sided on paper that the oddsmakers declined to touch them. Ohio State, ranked first, is expected to ruin Wisconsin. Ohio State's first six opponents this season have a grand total of only eight victories against 33 losses and a tie, and Wisconsin, with a 2-5 record, doesn't promise to be much of a test either.
Other games not included in the betting line are second-ranked Texas against Baylor, fifth-rated Southern California against Washington State, sixth-ranked Arkansas against Rice and No. 10 Notre Dame against Pittsburgh. Penn State (No. 4) and UCLA (No. 7) are idle.

It was then that Geddes was sent to Boys Town, Neb. He resumed his education there. "All I ever wanted to do," says Geddes, "was finish high school."

The Big Eight's offensive wizards continued to pile up statistics last week. Owens' 248 yards rushing gives him 881 for six games. Missouri's Joe Moore has 898 in seven outings.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)— Ken Geddes isn't an ordinary college football player.
Ken's job was to stop Colorado's attack from tackle to tackle. He did his duty in Nebraska's 20-7 victory and Monday was named the Big Eight's Lineman of the Week.
Kansas State's Lynn Dickey, with another record-breaking game, took command of the passing derby. Dickey has completed 129 passes in 230 attempts for 1,649 yards and a 56.1 percentage.
He's averaging 235.6 yards per game through the air lanes. Dickey also is the total offense leader with 1,598 yards.
Missouri's Jon Staggers had a memorable day against Kansas State, scoring twice and throwing for another touchdown. As a result, he's the kickoff and punt return leader. Staggers is averaging 30.8 yards per kickoff and 9.9 per punt.
