TO CLASH AGAIN—Jayhawk head grid coach J. V. Sikes, left, and Oklahoma Sooner mentor Bud Wilkinson will be opposing each as coaches for the sixth time Saturday. Sikes is hoping to spring an upset and down the Oklahomaans for the first time in his 6-year tenure here. The closest KU has come to the perennial Big Seven kingspins was 12 points, 21-33, in the 1951 loss at Norman. Since 1903 Kansas has won 19 games from the Sooners, lost 26, and tied five times.
Big Seven Briefs
Columbia, Mo. — (UP)— Tony Scardino and Ed Merrifield were listed today as possible Tiger starters against Iowa State State.
Coach Don Faurot revealed that Pete Corpene, starting right end for Missouri, suffered a fractured left hand in practice Tuesday. He expected the injury to keep Corpene, who scored Missouri's only touchdown against SMU last week, out of action four to five weeks.
Scardino and Merrifield were injured two weeks ago.
Manhattan —(UP) —Kansas State coach Bill Meek toyed with his backfield lineup yesterday as the Wildcats dug in with two tough scrimmage drills to get set for Saturday's tussle with Colorado.
Quarterback Jack Chilton reported for full action yesterday. He had seen no game action so far this season because of a shoulder injury, but was expected to be ready for Saturday's game.
Boulder, Colo. — (UP) — Colorado university coach Dallas Ward has named a 36-man traveling football squad for the game with Kansas State in Manhattan Saturday.
Carroll Hardy, the Buffs' ailing triple-threat man, was included in the list of players announced by Ward last night, but Homer Jenkins, the promising sophomore tailback, was omitted. A bone in Jenkins' leg was cracked in the Kansas game here last week.
Ward lined up his first team for the Kansas State fray with Roger Hunt, switched from guard to quarterback, Emerson Wilson, Frank Bernardi, and Bill Horton in the backfield.
Just how much action Hardy was expected to see Saturday was problematical. It appeared likely that he will be reserved for spot assign-ment, given his bruised ribs should show great improvement by game time.
Gardner Mum About Missing 'Cat Cagers
Salt Lake City — (UP)— University of Utah basketball coach Jack Gardner today declined to comment on the "disappearance" of two top cagers from his old bailiwick at Kansas State.
The hoopsters, Gene Stauffer, a senior, and Jim Smith, a junior, were said to have withdrawn from Kansas State after a disagreement.
Gardner said simply, "Interesting but no comment."

Dressen Quits Dodgers After Contract Fight
"The Brooklyn Dodgers will have a new manager next year," Walter O'Mallley, Dodger president, said yesterday in a bombshell announcement. "Charles Dressen, and I have different ideas about the length of a contract. I fully appreciate Charley's point of view, especially since other clubs seem to be hiring their managers for two or three years. I guess there is something about keeping up with the Jones."
"However, the Brooklyn club will not deviate under any circumstances from its policy of one-year contracts. That is absolutely the only reason Dressen is not being rehired."
It had been reported that Dressen had been seeking a two-year contract at $50,000 a year.
There was no immediate indication as to who the Dodgers had in mind to succeed Dressen.
It marked the first time since 1928 that the manager of a pennant-winning team had been fired. Branch Rickey, then general manager of the Cardinals, ousted Rogers Hornsby that season after he won the National league pennant and the World Series from the New York Yankees.
He had succeeded Burt Shotton, whose club had lost the pennant on the final day of the 1950 season to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Dressen had managed the Dodgers since 1951. They were beaten out of the pennant that year in a three-game play-off by the New York Giants.
Dressen's first pennant winner with the Dodgers in 1952 lost the World Series to the Yankees in seven games. The Dodgers lost to the Yankees in six.
Dressen found it difficult to conceal his bitterness.
"I felt this time that I certainly deserved a longer term contract," he said. "My friends keep meeting me on the street and they say 'What's the matter with you—Eddie Stanky has a three-year contract. Leo Durocher finished fifth with the Giants and he got a two year contract. What about you?'
"I felt that in my first year when we were 13 games in front and blew the pennant that I was lucky to get the job again. But then when we won the pennant, I kept hearing that if I wasn't winning somebody was going to take my job by July 4th. This time I decided I would have to have more than a one year contract or I wouldn't manage."
O'Malley, at that stage, broke in and said "that is absolutely the only point of disagreement. If Charley wants to sign a contract for one
