OU at All-Time High In Domination of Big 7
By UNITED PRESS
Tied twice but never beaten in the conference since Bud Wilkinson became head coach, Oklahoma's Sooners dominated the Big Seven today as no team ever has dominated a major conference in collegiate football history. And the end of this domination was no where in sight.
Since 1947, when Wilkinson succeeded Maryland's Jim Tatum as coach, Oklahoma has wrapped up 38 wins in a 40-game spread that included a 13-13 tie with Kansas in 1947 and a 21-21 deadlock with Colorado in 1952.
But go beyond that, into the 1946 season, if you want to find the last conference defeat for Oklahoma. It was 16-13, Kansas, and that makes it a favorite game in a row without a loss for the football masters of the midlands.
The 65 to 0 score against Kansas was bad enough—actually the most decisive margin in the 52-year history of the Oklahoma-Kansas rivalry—but that's not all. Of the 36 Oklahoma players who manufactured the staggering point total, 17 were sophomores who will be around next season, and the season after that.
Oklahoma "poured it on" and for that there was a mumbling of criticism on the Kansas campus, but Wilkinson used every man on the
traveling squad and it's no secret that every wearer of the Oklahoma uniform is bent on one thing—winning, and winning as decisively as possible to assure retention it ranking as No 1, in the nation.
As Oklahoma marched on in undefeated style, so also did Colorado, and Missouri's in-and-out Tigers regained prestige with a 2014 decision over Indiana of the Big Ten.
Colorado blanked Iowa State, 20-0, for its fifth straight win as Nebraska captured an intersections battle over Oregon State, 27-7, and Kansas State downed Tulsa of the Missouri Valley. 20-13.
This weekend, it will be Kansas State against Oklahoma at Norman, Brewskia against Colorado in Indiana and Iowa State against Missouri at Columbia.
Battered and bruised Kansas goes against another powerful foe—Southern Methodist at Dallas.

OU, Wisconsin, UCLA, OSU Emerge As Grids 'Big Four'
Bv UNITED PRESS
Oklahoma, Wisconsin, UCLA, and Ohio State emerged today as the "big four" of college football after a week end that saw many of their top rivals engulfed by the latest wave of upsets.
Power-packed triumphs by each of the big four, currently rated in that order atop the national rankings, stood out as especially impressive since three of the nation's top 10 teams were beaten and another, Notre Dame, squeaked through by a single point.
Now things are shaping up for a titanic battle this Saturday when Wisconsin clashes with Ohio State in a game that will wreck the perfect record and probably the Rose Bowl hopes of one of them.
Oklahoma, stretching its victory streak to 13 games as it opened its bid for its seventh straight Big Seven championship, walloped Kansas, 65-0, for the biggest margin in their 52-year rivalry.
But Oklahoma's point total was eclipsed by UCLA, which set a school record by blasting Stanford,
72-0, for the worst defeat in the Indians' history. The game was so lepsided that the Uclans intercepted eight passes and returned a punt for a touchdown.
Purdue was ranked fifth nationally and the Boilermakers were joined in defeat by sixth-ranked Duke, jolted 28-14 by Army, and 10th-ranked Penn State, victim of a stunning 19-14 defeat by unheralded West Virginia.
Netre Dame narrowly averted the same fate when it defeated Michigan State, 20-19, thanks to a missed Spartan extra point with 65 seconds to play. Other top 10 teams to win were eighth-ranked Mississippi, by an easy 34-7 over Tulane, and ninth-ranked Minnesota, 19-6, over Illinois.
