Iowa State, K.State Lead Big Seven Standings
Iowa State and Kansas State, picked by the pre-season experts finish sixth and seventh, respectively, in the Big Seven, are acting if they can't read.
They may not last long, but they're certainly in first place for the time being. Both teams are running, passing and kicking as if they intend to stay there. Both squads

are also backing their playing with fine team spirit.

Ask Iowa State football players who they played Oct. 1 and you'll get just a blank stare. Ask them who they play Oct. 8 and you'll see solid determination written all over their faces.
That's the way things stand this week as the Cyclones prepare for the Colorado game at Boulder Saturday. Forgotten is the 19-6 win over Kansas last week. Forgotten is the fact that the Cyclones are on top of the big Seven heap. The only thing the Cyclones know is that there's a lot of hard work to be done for the Buffaloes.
Coach Abe Stuber figures the Colorado team to be faster than any the Cyclones have yet seen this year. Led by Harry Narcissian, brilliant Buff spinner, the Colorado backs are faster than ever. Coach Dal Ward combined some fast sophomore linemen with a flock of thinned-down veterans to add more speed up in front for the 1949 team.
Iowa State goes into the game down one to Colorado in the all-time standings. Colorado won the 1946 game, 13-7; the 1947 contest, 7-0. Iowa State last year, 18-7.
Down at Kansas State the deceptive offense which has averaged 41 points per game in the Wildcat's first two football outings this fall is in for another strong testing this week-end when the Nebraska Cornhuskers come to Manhattan for a Big Seven encounter.
In defeating Fort Hays State 55 to 10 and Colorado 27 to 13, K-State's sophomoric backfield has romped to a total of 709 yards rushing. They hit at the Hays defense for 430 net yards, then bounced back for 279 yards against a good Colorado line.

halfback from Phillipsburg, Kan. In 22 times of carrying the ball, Faubion has travelled 175 yards, for an eight-yard average. He has picked up 61 yards on forward passes having connected with the only two tries he has attempted. One of his flips to Elmer Creviston, Cat right halfback, was good for 24 yards and a TD last Saturday against Colorado.
Faubion has scored five touchdowns in the Cat's two games. He went over twice against Hays and three times at Colorado expense. On one score against Colorado, the Phillipsburg stepper received a forward pass from Quarterback Jon O'Connor and went 15 yards behind good interference to score.
