Kansas Eyes Sooner Streak
With their eyes intently set on Oklahoma's record of having played 35 consecutive Big Seven conference games without defeat and of never having lost a conference game since Bud Wilkinson became the Sooner coach seven years ago, the Kansas Jayhawks left this morning by plane for Norman, Okla., and tomorrow's clash with the Sooners.

Defending champion Oklahoma will be making its Big Seven debut in the contest while the Jayhawks have a clean 2-0 record in conference action. Kickoff time is 2 p.m. with a crowd of 40,000 expected to be on hand.
It will be the 51st game between the schools. Since the opening game in 1963, they have played every year. Oklahoma has won 26, Kansas 19, and five have ended in ties in the long series.
The possibility of Don Hess, Kansas' top breakaway threat, being unable to go against the Sooners will throw the KU offensive load on three sophomores and a senior. Bobby Conn, who averaged five yards a carry after taking over for Hess last week at Colorado, will go to the post if Hess isn't available.
Conn will be joined by John McFarland at quarterback, Ralph Moody at right half, and Frank Sabatini at fullback. This trio has started the Jayhawks' first four games.
Oklahoma is expected to start its same backfield combination that busted Texas last Saturday, 19-14. Gene Calame, who took over the Signal-calling chores from Buddy Leake last week will fill in a man with experience with Larry Grigg and Tom Carrall at the halfbacks, and Bob Burris at fullback.
The Sooners are expected to alternate two light but fast lines. Anchored by J. D. Roberts and Roger Nelson, both Sooner lines are swift and mobile. This defense will provide the Jayhawks with their toughest foe to date. J. Sikes have entrusted every foe this year, even though gaining no better than a 50-50 split in their first four games.
Kansas' line will remain the same with co-captains Bob Hantla and Morris Kay leading the charge along with Don Bracelin, Joe Lundy, Bud Bixler, Joe Fink, and Merle Hodges.
As always, the 'Hawks will pile into the perennial champions resolutely. Even though they haven't beaten or tied the Sooners since 1947, the Jayhawks have been tougher for the Sooners than any other conference eleven. The last time KU won in Norman was in 1937 when the Jayhawks escaped with a 6-3 victory.
The last time the Jayhawks defeated the Sooners here was in 1946 when Paul Turner booted his famous last-quarter field goal to down the Okies. 16-13.

WATCH NO. 64—Big 202-pound senior right guard of Oklahoma's Sooners is J. D. Roberts, who last year was named to the United Press and the Associated Press all-Big Seven defensive team. The big boy from Dallas is faster this fall due to a weight reduction from 225 pounds to his present 202.
Betas, Sigma Nus Shut Out Intramural Grid Opponents
Snapping first place deadlocks in Fraternity "A" intramural football yesterday, Beta (2-0) beat Lambda Chi (2-1) in Division I and Phi Gam (2-0) edged Delta Chi (2-1) in Division II. Other action saw Sigma Nu beat SIG Ep and Triangle slipped by TKE.
Phi Gam 1, Delta Chi 0
Phi Gam and previously unbeater Delta Chi battled into an overtime playoff before Phi Gam emerged with a 1-0 triumph. Neither team was able to launch a successful offensive threat as they finished the four quarters in a 0-0 defensive stalemate. In the four overtime plays awarded each team to decide tie games, Phi Gam gained the verdict by rolling up 23 yards while holding its opponents to none.
TKE forced Triangle into an overtime period before bowing 7-6. Triangle counted the first score on a 20-vard pass from Sonny Heatwole to Bill Funkhouser.

Beta 35. Lambda Chi 0
Remaining in the undefeated ranks, Beta knocked Lambda Chi from the Division I lead 35-0.

Nixon found the range for two more 6-pointers in that frame, one to John Golden and the other to Jim Burns. The final Sigma Nu tally came in the fourth stanza as Roger Collins gathered in a pass from Nixon.

Wichita in Spot As Prep Season Hits Mid-Point
Tonight marks the midway point for most Kansas high school elevens as the season hits its fifth week of action. The state spotlight once again falls tonight on Wichita and the intra-city battle between Wichita West and Wichita North.
Not all of the state's attention will be on this battle however. Topeka meets unbeaten St. Mary's of Wichita tonight in the capital city and Shawnee Mission, unbeaten but twice tied, meets undefeated Ottawa tonight at Ottawa in a crucial Northeast Kansas league game.
The state's major unbeaten and untied list now numbers 12 but another shrinkage is due this weekend. Ark City, the No.1 team in the state, shouldn't have any trouble with Wellington and should pick up win No.5 easily.
Independence, unbeaten in four starts, tackles Iola tonight while Haskell, undefeated in four games, meets Hayden of Topeka.
McPherson, unbeaten but tied, takes on Chapman tonight in an important Central Kansas League game while Junction City, unbeaten but tied, should have a breather with Abilene.
Wyandotte, tied by Shawnee Mission but victorious in three other games, has another intra-city battle tonight with Argentine providing the opposition.
For students staying in Lawrence tonight, the Lawrence Lions play host to Leavenworth in an NEK contest. Game time is 8 p.m. at Haskell stadium.
Latest word has it that Charley Dressen, ex-Brooklyn manager, has his eyes set on the Baltimore job and is just waiting for an invitation.
In Western Kansas, Hays, unbeaten but tied, tackles Stafford and Plainville, undefeated in four starts, goes against Hill City.
Negro Ex-Gridiron Letterman Dead
Edward S. Harvey, 83, believed to be the only Negro football letterman at KU, died here yesterday.
Harvey, who was born on a farm near Lawrence, the son of former slaves, lettered in baseball also, and was graduated in 1894. He owned a "K" card, a letterman's award that admits all KU lettermen free to athletic events, and seldom missed a Jawhawk game.
After leaving KU Harvey farmed just outside of Lawrence, except for two years when he was secretary to congressman J. D. Bowersock in Washington.
He had two older brothers who earned baseball letters at KU.
Santee Cracks 2-Mile Mark
Scores of the women's intramural volleyball games, Oct. 12: Foster-Hodder over Monchonsia by forfeit; Alpha Phi 54, Locksey 30; Kappa Kappa Gamma 76, Miller Hall 22; Tri Delt 57, Alpha Delta Pi 20.
In time trials early this week, Wes Santee, KU distance ace, broke the school record for the 2-mile run. Santee ran the distance in 9:03.7 to break the old record of 9:05 set by Herb Semper in 1952.
