Buller Is Out; Letcavits And Reich Doubtful
Bev Buller, senior Kansas quarterback, will miss the last football game of his college career Saturday because of a bruised kidney.
At first it was hoped Buller had suffered no more than a painful blow to the abdomen and that he might recover in time for the all-important Homecoming 'it with Missouri Saturday.
to two other Jayhawkers, end Jim Letcavits and fullback Dick Reich were back on the doubtful list today. Letcavitis by recovering pain to a broken hand bone he suffered a few weeks back. Knee trouble is plaguing Reich again. Coach Mather hopes both may be recovered sufficiently to see at least some action Saturday.
That's the doctor's diagnosis of the injury Buller suffered shortly before the half in last Saturday's game with Oklahoma A&M in Memorial Stadium.
Mather plans to go along with sophomore Wally Strauch at the quarterback position, with another soph Dave Preston planned as a reliefer. Preston was the hero of the 12-7 triumph over the Aggies last week.
OU Better Than Terps'
Oklahoma has a better football team than Maryland. That's the opinion of 10 of 12 players on the University of North Carolina team which suffered defeat at the hands of both the teams which will meet in the Orange Bowl next Jan. 2. A poll of a dozen key members of the Tar Heel squad, this seemed to be the consensus:
The Oklahoma line is quicker and just as strong. Oklahoma's backfield is better overall, but Maryland has the better quarterbacks in Frank Tamburello and Lynn Beightol. Oklahoma's pass defense is better and the Oklahoma offense is more powerful and versatile.
Intramural basketball will begin soon after the Thanksgiving vacation, the Intramural Office announced.
Nov. 22 Deadline For Cage Teams
All teams except organized houses are asked to leave their name, address, and phone number in the Intramural Office, 107 Robinson between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. before Nov. 22.
Maryland yesterday accepted an invitation to play in the Orange Bowl football game at Miami Jan. 2, after being unanimously selected by the Atlantic Coast Conference to represent it against Oklahoma.
Maryland Says OK To Bowl
Oklahoma was selected by the Big Seven conference to represent it and accepted the assignment earlier. Maryland's selection—and acceptance—was accomplished yesterday after some backing and filling by big Jim Tatum, Maryland coach.
Both teams are unbeaten in season play and the Orange Bowl game will probably be ranked the game of the day on Jan. 2.
At first he said, "We haven't yet accepted."
Oklahoma holds the top spot in the weekly Associated Press poll to determine the nation's ten top college football teams and Maryland ranks second.
Later he explained he said it only because of a prior agreement that "acceptance" would be announced at Greenboro, N.C., by Jim Weaver, commissioner of the Atlantic Coast conference.
