Jayhawkers Will Attempt To Snap OU Win Streak
Kansas will attempt to do what no college football team has accomplished during Oklahoma's last 27 games—defeat Coach Bud Wilkinson's powerful Sooners—when K.U. and O.U. collide Saturday at Memorial stadium in a showdown conference battle.
Since that time, only eight teams have even come within one touchdown of beating the "Mighty Sooners."
After losing all but one of the 1949 starters through graduation, Oklahoma started slowly this year with inexperienced personnel but has again reached its near 1948 peak-level after rolling past six victory-humour opponents.
The Sooners were last defeated by Santa Clara in the 1948 season opener at San Francisco, 17 to 20.
The following is the Sooners' blow-by-blow K.O. record during the 27-game winning streak:

'Mule Train' Heath Is Only Returning Oklahoma Starter
Leon Heath is the only returning offensive starter from Oklahoma's 1950 Sugar Bowl champions. The hard-running senior from Hollis, Okla., was the pre-season favorite of most sportswriters throughout the country for the fullback spot on the 1950 All-American team.
Injuries have held Heath down most of the season, but he did flash his last year's form in the Sooners' last-minute victory over Texas A. and M. Heath scored three of O. U.'s five touchdowns in that game, including the winning one with 37 seconds left in the game.
Nicknamed "Mule-Train," Heath led the nation in ball-carrying last year, averaging 9.12 yards a carry during the regular season. In the Sugar Bowl game, Heath gained 170 yards rushing and averaged 11.3 yards a carry.
Heath is 6 foot one inch and weighs 195 pounds. He is a smashing blocker, and is usually the first man down the field on kicks. He is also a top-notch linebacker, but he hasn't been playing much on defense this year.
The 170 yards rushing is a modern Oklahoma record. Heath was voted the outstanding player of the 1950 Sugar Bowl game for his performance. Included in his ground gaining total were touchdowns, runs of 86 and 34 yards—the former is an all-time Sugar Bowl record.
Double Take
Boston—(U.P.)—Opponents of South Boston High School's Football team thought they're seeing double this season. South Boston boast two backfield stars, both named Tom Sullivan. They're not related.

Kansas Women Win Annual Hockey Day
University of Kansas women athletes brought home another field hockey championship the past weekend to continue their dominance in the annual Hockey Sports days held between K.U. and Baker, Ottawa, and Washburn universities. Baker was unable to attend this year, so a mixed team of KU and Ottawa players was substituted.
KU defeated the mixed team 4 to 0, defeated Washburn 4 to 1, and tied Ottawa at one apiece. Washburn university took second place by a victory, a loss, and a tie; Ottawa tied two and lost one; and the mixed team lost two and tied one.
Players representing the University were Geneva Fleshman, Arlene Hill, Nancy Moore, Frances Pence, Beverly Pepper, Betty Thomas, and Margaret Wellman, education seniors.
Sydney Ashton, Mryna Davidson,
Ernestine Dehlinger, Joyce Herschell,
Suzanne Neff, and Chloe Warner, education juniors, and Aoa Watson, College junior.
Vinita Bradshaw, Betty Clinger, Jerre Mueller, Jane Cunningham, Darlene Schindler, and Shirley Thomson, education sophomores, and Shirley Wilkie, engineering sophomore; and Joyce Jones, education freshman.
Well, He Was Close, Anyway
Mansfield, O. (U.P.)—Orley Wright, who died here at 80, predicted his own death date seven years ago. He missed by one year. Wright composed his own obituary in 1943 and listed his age at death at 79. He ordered his tombstone and funeral arrangements the same year.
