Slim Shade Separates Orange Bowl Hopefuls
By UNITED PRESS
The Big Seven conference football race goes down to the finish Saturday with the championship and an Orange Bowl bid both still to be decided.
Oklahoma's Sooners, seeking a seventh straight undisputed crown, already has clinched at least a share of it and need only to defeat Nebraska at Norman to rule alone.
Winner of 17 in a row—longest string in major collegiate football today—Oklahoma, however, would be forced to share title distinction with Bill Glassford's Huskers in the event of a Nebraska triumph.
Such a triumph also would clinch the Orange Bowl, trin for Nebraska.
the Orange Bowl trip for Nebraska. At the same time, Kansas State will be paying Colorado in Boulder. A Kansas State victory over the Golden Buffs, coupled with an Oklahoma win over Nebraska, would send K-State to Miami New Year's day.
Kansas State has gained 2,023 yards on the ground and passed for 547, a total of 2,570. Nebraska has 2,025 and 540. a 2,565 total.
As the crucial climax contests near, statistics show there is little to choose between Kansas State and Nebraska.

126 to 119 edge. Punting average is 36.2 for Nebraska; 36.1 for Kansas State.
Latest statistics moved Oklahoma up in the team department. The Sooners, in eight games, have a total offense average of 365.3. In holding Missouri to seven yards last week, Oklahoma's rushing defense allowable shrunk to 73.6
There were few changes among individual leaders. John Bayuk of Colorado still is No. 1 in rushing—811 yards on 140 carries. Vic Eaton of Missouri, leading passer, completed six of twelve against Oklahoma and now has a season total of 472 yards on 28 of 55.
Top punter was Ted Rohde of of Kansas, with a 43.7 average. Oklahoma's Tommy McDonald remained ahead in punt returning. He has carried six back for 131 yards. a 21.8 average.

Retaining the scoring lead was Oklahoma's Buddy Leake, with 68 points. He was followed by Bayuk, 60, and Carroll Hardy, Colorado, 49.
Faurot Long-Time Nemesis For Kansas Football Teams
hawker.
Since starting at Missouri in 1935, the Big Seven's dean of football coaches has made a career out of beating Kansas, and because of this knack Missouri can pull even with KU when the two traditional rivals hang helmets at MU Saturday.
Columbia, Mo.-No wonder the name Don Faurot is anathema to any dyeed-in-the-wool Kansas Jayhawker.
Up to now, this historic border feud—oldest grid series west of the Mississippi—has produced 28 Kansas victories, 27 for Mizzou and seven ties. The series has its origin in 1891 when KU won the first clash, 22 to 8, and Missouri has spent all of the intervening years running to catch up.
The freshman "B" outfit, led by Barbara Ulses, Marilyn Buckley, and Ellen Proudfit, who scored 16, 13 and nine points, respectively, edged the junior "B" team, 46 to 44. The major scoring for the losers was done by Ruth Robertson, with 17 points, and Fran Swanson, who got 16 points.
On four different occasions during the past sixty-three years, Kansas has held a 10-game victory spread
Four games were played Monday night. The junior "A" squad downed the freshman "A" team, 35 to 33. Diane Klepper, with 21 points, led the winners to victory, despite an 18-point performance by Irene Linder of the frosh.
The sophomore "A"队 fell before the senior "A's" by one point 27 to 28. Mary Demeritt was high for the victors with 11. Pat Duncan scored 15 for the sophomores.
over the Tigers, once in 1908, again in 1912, then in 1934, and finally in 1935 when Faurot's first team here battled the Jayhawkers to a scoreless tie.
Four class basketball teams will be in action tonight in Robinson gymnasium. The juniors will oppose the seniors for the "A" title and the seniors will meet the freshmen for the "B" championship.
When after three dismal seasons, Frank Carideo left Columbia at the close of the '34 campaign, Kansas had shut out Mizzou five straight times. At that point, the Jayhawk bulge was 24-14-5 in games won, lost, and tied.
Women's Titles To Be Decided
Then Faurot's teams began closing the gap. His personal tallsieet (against KU) now shows 11 wins, three losses, and two ties. And while Faurot was in Navy service (1843-45), his first lieutenant—Coach Chauncey Simpson—won two out of three from the Kansans.
After being tied at the half, the senior "B" team pulled to a three-point triumph. 28 to 25, over the sophomores. Louisa Hall tallied 12 for the winners.
This means the Faurot regime has
In these days of high pressure on college football coaches, Columbia's Lou Little stands as a rare person in the coaching ranks. For Little is now completing his 25th season at Columbia. No other grid mentor can make that statement.
accounted for 13 football victories over Kansas—or nearly half the total number of triumphs MU has mustered against its oldest foe.
Saturday the Tigers will be heavy favorites to square the books at 28-all.
