Around the BIG 8
Three teams are tied for second place in the Big Eight conference and one will get the coveted bid to the post-season Orange Bowl game.
Kansas, Missouri and Iowa State remain in contention for the second place spot in the conference after action last Saturday with games looming on the horizon this weekend that will probably decide the Orange Bowl candidate.
Kansas State was outclassed again last week as the Missouri Tigers primed themselves for the KU-MU classic. The final score was 26-0 in favor of the Tigers.
Iowa State is pitted against loop leading Oklahoma and the Jayhawkers will fight it out with Missouri here.
Colorado was edged out of contention 14-12 by Nebraska at Lincoln. The Buffs ended the conference season with a 3-3 mark, and will be idle for a week before taking on the Air Force Academy in their season's finale.
Nebraska, already out of the Bowl picture, has a cinch victory coming
up this weekend when the Huskers meet Kansas State.
Iowa State racked up San Jose State 55-0 and Oklahoma whipped Army 28-20 in the only other games last week involving a conference member.

Basketball Date Set by Mikols
Intramural basketball competition will begin Dec. 7 with the deadline for all entries being 4 p.m. Nov. 23.
Walter J. Mikols, director of men's intramurals, said today that each team must enter at least 10 men. Any team with less than 10 men will not be accepted and the team will be dropped from the competition.
Basketball leagues will again be formed in three classifications for both the fraternity and independent groups. Each house or dormitory will be limited to one "A" and one "B" team but there is no set limit for the number of "C" teams a house is allowed to enter.
A basketball court reservation chart for team practice has been posted on the intramural bulletin board in Robinson gymnasium. Team managers may sign up for one practice period a week and will be permitted to sign up for an unused time after 4 p.m. each day.

Picking up 68 yards against San Jose State last week, Tom Watkins of Iowa State continues to dominate the Big Eight conference statistical report.
Watkins has carried 139 times for 775 yards. His teammate Dwight Nichols is second with 711 yards on 195 rushes.
Gale Weidner took the forward passing lead. He has completed 91 of 183 for 1,132 yards. Dick Soergel of Oklahoma State, who played only half of the game against Kansas, is second with 89 of 147 and 1,076 vards.

Orange Bowl football fans are in for a special treat in the Jan. 1, 1960, classic because the Big Eight conference representative will be a comparative newcomer to post-season bowl warfare.

Three Big Eight teams have a chance for a berth in the New Year's day contest-Iowa State, Kansas and Missouri—and it has been so long since any of them appeared in a major bowl game that fans of the three schools have had blistered feet from sitting too close to the fireside on Jan. 1.
And it has been 10 years since Missouri made its last bowl appearance, losing to Maryland 20-7 in the Gator Bowl.
