'Unfit' Sandwiches Eaten by Sooners
EVANSTON, Ill.—(UPI)—Twelve Oklahoma football players ate turkey "unfit for human consumption" seven hours before they fell ill, a state health official said today.
But an assistant coach who did not eat the turkey also became sick, compounding the mystery around the strange malady that struck the Sooners here last Thursday.
Lowell D. Oranger, Superintendent of the State Foods Division, said the Orrington Hotel, where the team was quartered, served the players food which was contaminated, probably by "mishandling."
Health authorities said they were testing the kitchen worker who fixed the turkey sandwiches to see if he could have carried the contaminating bacteria.
But Evanston health officer Dr. Edward Press said the time element made it unlikely the players were poisoned by the turkey.
"Normally, food poisoning would have set in within 30 minutes to four hours after eating." Press said.

hours later while dining at the Chez Paree, a Chicago night club. The Chicago Board of Health said the club's food was not responsible for the poisoning.
Press said there was no definite proof the Orrington food made the players sick. He pointed out that 30 other gridders who ate there did not get sick, including two who did not go to-the night club.
All 12 players were able to play Saturday when Oklahoma lost to Northwestern, 45-13.
