Tough Sooners Are Next
A gridiron version of "David and Goliath" will be the main attraction of the University of Kansas Homecoming festivities here Saturday.

Twice in the last five years, underdog Jayhawk elevens staged last-minute rallies to snatch victory right out from under the nose of the favored Sooner teams. Both times Kansas scored on long passes in the last
That first upset saw R. B. Hayes, all-Big Six end, pluck a 50 yard pass out of the air to score Kansas' winning touchdown. Two years later it was Halfback Dick Amerine who caught a deflected pass on the Sooners' 25 yard line and streaked across the goal line as the big clock showed only three seconds left to play.
minute of play, winning 7 to 0 in 1935 and 6 to 3 in 1937.
This fall Oklahoma will be even a more decided favorite over the Jayhawkers. Kansas, however, with the examples of 1935 and 1937 before it, knows that the Sooners can be beaten and will go all out in an
