End Of Big 7 Football Season Nears As Three Teams Finish
By CHARLEY BURCH
The Big Seven football season nears an end Saturday with Iowa State, Colorado and Kansas State finishing their conference schedules.
The Jayhawks, the only team to step out of the loop, play their next to the last game with Oklahoma A&M at Stillwater. The Mount Cread team has a perfect record against outside teams thus far with victories over TCU, Utah and Loyola of Los Angeles.
Kansas State's Meek-but-fighting Wildcats will have their last chance for a victory this season as they journey to Missouri for a battle with the Tigers.
Injuries aren't expected to hamper the Cats as Joe Switzer, and Ed Pence, both absent from the Tula tussle, will be ready to go.
classic, but so often it's better. The Cats took a bruising 42-26 defeat at Tulsa last weekend but none of the injuries proved serious.
Meanwhile at Columbia, Coach Don Faurot received bad news from his star punter and ground gainer, Junior Wren. He won't be able to play again this season if he follows his doctor's advice. Wren suffered a bone fracture in his right hand while playing against Colorado four weeks ago and it hasn't healed properly.
MU's fine passing freshman Tony Scardino will give the K-State secondary a tough test.
Almost anything could happen at Lincoln when hostilities between Colorado and Nebraska are resumed. The Buffs, who are in second place, will be playing their final Big Seven game but are going to East Lansing, Mich., Nov. 24 for a battle with mighty Michigan State.
KU Seeks 6th Win Over Aggies
A Homecoming crowd of 25,000 is expected when the Kansas Jayhawks try for their sixth straight victory over Oklahoma A&M at Stillwater Saturday afternoon. Kickoff time will be 1:30 p.m.
The 38-man Jayhawk squad flew from Kansas City this morning to Stillwater.
Bill Schaake was the only regular unable to make the trip. He is recovering from an attack of glandular fever which has forced him to miss practice most of this week.
Paul Leoni, a freshman end who has seen some varsity action, will probably start in Schaake's position at right end.
Frank Sabatini, sophomore fullback, was slated to make the journey but he suffered a fractured frontal sinus in Wednesday's practice.
Archie Unruh replaced the injured Sabatini on the traveling squad.
Charlie Hoag's condition is still doubtful. If he sees any action at all, it will be only limited.
Frank Cindrich will probably start in Hoag's position.
The Aggies observed an open date last weekend and will have their lineup intact for the encounter. A&M's chief hope lies in their slinging quarterback, Don Babers.
The Cowpokes' coach, J. B. Whitworth and KU's head football man, J. V. Sikes, were both assistants to Wally Butts at Georgia for several years.
Last year was Whitwort's first at A&M and his undermanned squad was soundly trounced by the Jayhawks here 40-7.
Table Tennis Team Loses To Topekans
The KU Table Tennis association team lost 12-8 to the Topeka table tennis club at Topeka Wednesday night.
Richard Lewis, Charles Pine,
Churby Clowers won one match each
and David Wong and Allan Jones
won two matches.
The KU doubles team won by default.
The Nebraskans are aiming for their second victory of the season after finally hitting the win column last week. They roared back from a 21-7 half-time deficit to down Iowa State 34-27.
Coach Glassford attributes his team's "comeback" to his switch to the TCU spread formation and the fine work of his defensive unit which sparked the second half rally.
Judging from past performances the Buffs should beat the Cornhuskers but the NU team could pull an upset if they continue to improve.
After giving up nearly 400 yards under MU's passing attack, Coach Bud Wilkinson is reported to be slightly worried about Oklahoma's game with Iowa State.
Dick Mann, Iowa State's sophomore passing star, currently ranks sixth in the nation with 1,107 yards to his credit. He has completed 49.4 per cent of his tosses.
OU's superior power on the ground is expected to over come Mann's aerial threat and bowl over the Cyclones for the 15th consecutive year.
Coach Abe Stuber's Cyclones have a 4-2-2 record and will close their season against the Sooners.
Fraley Picks KentuckyTeam
by OSCAR FRALEY
New York—(UF)—Despite t he mud-bath, there will be good college basketball this season and Kentucky's Wildcats, their whiskers singed by the hot breath of scandal, figured today to be right up there at the top again.
Proving that the fans haven't lost faith in the sport, there were more than 16,000 fans at the first professional double-header last week at Madison Square Garden—scene of most of the "dumps" which threatened to black out the game.
And there will be plenty for them to watch. Kentucky, with an all-veteran team, looms as the best in the land. The Wildcats have seven-foot Bill Spivey, Frank Ramsey, Cliff Hagan, Shelby Linville, Bobby Watson and Lucian Whitaker.
The race for national honors shapes up this way: 1, Kentucky; 2, Illinois; 3, St. John's; 4, St. Louis; and 5, Dayton. Seton Hall could sneak up in there somewhere, as could Holy Cross, Oklahoma A&M, North Carolina State, Kansas or Wyoming.
Illinois, sparked by Rod Fletcher and with Irv Bemoraes and Bob Peterson in support, looks like the certain class of the Big Ten. St. John's has the eastern spotlight with Bob Zawoluk, Jack McMahon, Ron McGilvray and a six-foot, seven-inch freshman hope named Jim Davis.
