Two major upsets occurred around the Big Eight conference weekend shaking up the conference standings and putting Kansas into a first place deadlock with Oklahoma.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers, winless in two previous conference starts, became the most heralded team in the loop Saturday when they ended Oklahoma's skein of 74 consecutive conference wins by downing the Sooners 25-21.
NEBRASKA capitalized on Oklahoma tumbles and bad punts to accomplish the job of beating the Sooners—one which had not been done since the 1946 Kansas crew won over OU 16-13.
Oklahoma led 14-12 at the intermission but Nebraska grabbed a 15-14 lead in the third quarter on a 22-yard field goal by Ron Meade. The Huskers added a touchdown and another Meade field goal in the fourth period while the Sooners could manage only seven points.
Big Eight Results
Kansas 7, Iowa State 0.
Iowa 53, Kansas State 0.
Nebraska 25, Oklahoma 21.
Colorado 21, Missouri 20.
Oklahoma State 18, Marquette 12.
Nebraska had earlier been defeated by Kansas and Missouri while Oklahoma had scored wins over Colorado, Missouri and Kansas. The Sooners remained in first place, however, but are in a deadlock with Kansas for the position. Nebraska's win failed to elevate the Huskers out of sixth place in the loop standings.
THE SECOND upset came as Colorado surprised Missouri 21-20 costing the Bengals the chance to move into a first place tie with Oklahoma and Kansas and putting a damper on any Orange Bowl hopes.
The winning Buffalo score came with only six minutes remaining in the game. Quarterback Gale Weidner, Colorado's sophomore passing ace, quarterbacked a 69-yard drive that set up the touchdown with two long pass completions.
Weidner plunged over for the score from the 1-yard line after pass interference had been called against Missouri. Joe Dowler kicked the extra point for the victory.
OKLAHOMA STATE continued its domination of non-conference foes by slapping hapless Marquette 18-12 with a touchdown coming with only 46 seconds left in the game.
The winning score was tallied by halfback Tony Banfield who plunged over from the Marquette 2-yard stripe. The win was the fifth straight for the Cowboys after two losses at the first of the season.
In the only other game Saturday involving a member of the conference, Kansas State allowed itself to be pistol whipped by Big Ten member Iowa, 53-0.

Cincinnati Has a New 'Big O'
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) The University of Cincinnati has popped up with a giant sophomore basketball player who may put Oscar Robertson to shame.
That's the word from Missouri Valley Conference coaches — and Cincinnati mentor George Smith is sprouting some mighty wide grins lately when quizzed about his 1959 prospects.
Who's this latest phenom to hit the Bearcat campus? His name's Paul Hogue and he's an 18-year-old sophomore from Knoxville, Tenn. "He has all the potential of becoming a truly great basketball player," Smith says.
After all, rival coaches sulk, it hardly seems fair for Cincinnati to come up with a brilliant prospect like Hogue when All-American Oscar Robertson and All-Conference Ralph Davis are still around.
Hogue wandered onto the Cincinnati campus virtually an unknown.
when the Bearcats appear to be already knee-deep in good basketball material.
The 6-foot 9-inch youngster had played basketball and football at a Negro high school in Knoxville and was well known for his athletic prowess in that area — but news of the big kid scarcely ever seeped out of the state.

Then one day Smith got wind of Hogue, decided to take a look, and liked what he saw.
"He moves real well for a boy his size. Of course, he's still young but he should develop into a fine basketball player. We're hoping he'll help us a lot this year — and we're certain he'll help us in future years." Smith said.
Missouri Valley Conference coaches take a dim view of Cincinnati's latest "find." particularly
