KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(U.P.)—This the weekend mighty Oklahoma shells the impertinent Nebraska Cornhuskers.
OU, Huskers Clash For Title

The two meet at Lincoln for the Big Seven championship. Oklahoma, of course, already has clinched the Orange Bowl berth and will go to Miami Jan. 2 no matter if Nebraska should happen to pull the upset of the year.
Conference play winds up this weekend, and only two intersectional games are left after Saturday. Those will be the next Saturday with Oklahoma and Colorado playing their respective Aggie schools
Nebraska, coming in with a strong finish just as last year, gave Colorado a football lesson Saturday, 37-20.
Kansas State finished its Big Seven play by beating Missouri, 21-0, and ended with a 3-3 conference record, the same as last year. Colorado could tie K-State for third this weekend with a win over Iowa State.
Otherwise, the Wildcats have the berth nailed down for good. The 3-3 record last year was good only for fifth place.
Missouri and Kansas meet at Lawrence in their traditional rivalry and Kansas State is at Oklahoma DM in the other game this weekend.
If Nebraska and Oklahoma should happen to tie this weekend, they would reign as co-champions under Big Seven rules.
The standings:

Bev Buller Injured In Saturday's Game
Bev Buller, reserve quarterback of the Jayhawk football team, was injured in Saturday's game. Buller was hurt when he tackled an A&M player and was carried off the field on a stretcher. He was taken to Watkins Hospital over the weekend for observation.
Oklahoma, Maryland Own Perfect Marks
At first it was feared that he might have suffered internal injuries, but Coach Chuck Mather told the Kansan Sunday that no injuries were discovered yet and it is possible that Buller will be able to play his final college game against Missouri this Saturday.
NEW YORK —(U.P.)— The national list of unbeaten, untied college football teams was cut to just 23 names today and included were only two major-college teams—Oklahoma and Maryland.
Among the seven casualties who suffered their first losses last Saturday was West Virginia, beaten 26-7, by Pittsburgh. It marked the second straight year that Pitt blocked the Mountaineers' bid for a perfect season.
Others to drop off the list this week were Idaho State, St. Olaf (Minn.), Jacksonville (Ala.) State, Hampden-Sydney, Bethany (W. Va.), and Allen (S.C.).

By HARRY ELLIOTT Kansan Sports Editor
Everybody hustled Saturday in the KU-Aggie game and as a result, KU won. The hustle, which was notably lacking in the K-State game was a welcome addition to the team. Even when faced with the loss of a top quarterback, Bev Buller, the Jayhawkers were able to produce a man who really had the desire to do a good job. Congratulations, Dave Preston, on a job well done.
The sports staff of the UDK came out of Saturday's football picking with a score of 15 right, 5 wrong. The games, of course, that threw the prognosticators were the Colorado-Nebraska, K-State-Missouri, West Virginia-Pittsburgh, Yale-Princeton, and Oregon State-California games. Of these five, four were definite upsets and one was rated a toss-up. We're not asking for excuses, however. We

What young people are doing at General Electric
Young engineer decides what colors are best for G-E reflector lamps
Which color of light makes people look natural? Should a blue light be used more often than a red? What kind of effect does a violet light have on merchandise?
In recent years, color lighting has become so important in stores, restaurants, theaters, and displays that General Electric developed a line of new easy-to-use color-reflector lamps for this market.
The man responsible for deciding which colors are most effective for users of these lamps is 29-year-old Charles N. Clark, Application Engineering Color Specialist for General Electric's large lamp department.
Clark's Work Is Interesting, Important
In a recent series of tests, Clark made a critical appraisal of literally hundreds of color-filter materials to find the ones that produced maximum results but were still suitable to high-production techniques, practical stocking and simplified selling. This experimental work also had to take into account all the information on human perception of color.
When Clark came to General Electric in 1949, he already knew the work he wanted to do. Like each of the 25,000 college-graduate employees, he was given his chance to grow and realize his full potential. For General Electric has long believed this: When fresh, young minds are given freedom to make progress, everybody benefits—the individual, the company, and the country.
