This Saturday will again feature most of the Big Eight teams facing non-conference opponents. Only two league games are on the weekend schedule.
With the exception of two of the six games involving conference teams, the outcomes could end up with either team victorious. This, for the second week in a row makes predicting the scores a very difficult task. But being brave, opinionated and somewhat foolish, I shall again blat out with my humble choices.
The closest game involving a Big Eight team will be the Oklahoma- Texas football battle in the Cotton Bowl stadium. This game is surrounded by a great deal of tradition and rivalry. Although there isn't much national importance in this game as there has been many times in the past, it still will be an interesting and close contest. I see the Longhorns with better overall strength and a good defense hand the Sooners their second loss of the season.
Missouri faces another strong team this week. After their mild upset of Penn State, they must now contend with tougher opposition in the Air Force Academy.
Despite holding an 8 to 17 edge in the United Press International poll, the Tigers will have more than they can handle. The Air Force Falcons have quarterback Rich Mayo who is among the nation's leading passers. They also can depend on the fine running of Mike Quillan to offset MU's Mel West. Since the Falcons have a better all-around offense, I think that they will sneak past the Tigers.
Oklahoma State returns to action after a week's rest to face a rugged Tula队 team. Tulsa has the Missouri Valley's leading rusher in fullback Dave White, and second best passer in Jerry Keeling.
The Cowpokes won't be able to contain this potent duo and without a better than average scoring threat themselves, they should succumb to Tulsa.
Colorado faces an improved Arizona team at Boulder. The Buffs blanked the Arizona Wildcats last season. Against Kansas State Colorado showed signs of a fine running attack to accompany Dale Weidner's passing. Arizona will probably feature a wide open offense that should bother Colorado, but only enough to make a decent game.
KU's neighbor, Kansas State.
Joe Gordon To Pilot A's
Joe Gordon, former manager of the Detroit Tigers, signed a two-year contract yesterday to manage the Kansas City Athletics.
Monday, in a surprise move, Gordon resigned as Tiger pilot following an unusual swap of managers which sent him to Detroit from Cleveland in exchange for Jimmy Dykes.
The contract was signed after a half-hour conference with Parke Carroll, general manager of the Athletics.
Bob Elliott, manager of the Athletics, and his entire staff, was fired Monday.
again plays an opponent who should be too tough for them. The Nebraska Cornhuskers will be trying to rebound from last week's conference loss to Iowa State. Unless the Wildcats are especially interested in spoiling what hopes Nebraska still has of finishing high in the conference standings, they shouldn't bother the Huskers very much.
But, the big game for KU fans will be in Ames against Iowa State.

The nation's leading rusher and total yardage leader, Dave Hoppmann will lead his undefeated teammates against the Jayhawks.
Despite the threat that Hoppmann, Tom Watkins and Don Webb pose for the Hawks, KU's superior size (KU outweighs the Cyclones 14 pounds per man), solid defense, and hopes of the Big Eight title should prove to be far too much for Iowa State. My predictions for Saturday's games are:
Kansas 24, Iowa State 13
Air Force 21, Missouri 14
Texas 14, Oklahoma 10.
Tulsa 28, Oklahoma State 14
Colorado 28, Arizona 13
Nebraska 21, Kansas State 7.
Play in the Independent division of the "A" team intramural football program began yesterday with Battenfeld, Foster and Carruth-O'Leary emerging victorious.
Battenfeld, Foster,
Carruth-O'Leary Win
Battenfeld shut out Pearson Hall 14-0. Foster was able to sneak past pesky Jolliffe 7-6. Oread Hall was the loser to the Carruth-0'Leary squad, 13-0.
In the fraternity "B" division Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta won their first games. Beta Theta Pi downed Acacia 20-12 and Phi Delta Theta beat Phi Kappa Tau. 14-7.
The schedule for this afternoon pits Shyster against Newman on field one, Templin and the Untouchables on field two, J. R. Pearson and NSF on field three. All of these games are in the Independent "A" division.
Division "B" play will have Phi Gamma Delta and Delta Sigma Phi on field four and Alpha Kappa Lambda against Triangle on field five.

Kansas will face a team of five lettermen when they go for their 34th consecutive dual cross-country win over Big Eight opponents Saturday against Missouri at Columbia. The two squads will meet, for the 25th time in their history on the Tigers' new three-mile hill-and-dale course.
Topping the Missouri list is Bob Hanneken who paced MU's final time trials. Since all school courses differ, time is not important. However, Hanneken's fast clocking was almost a minute better than his mark a year ago at the same time.
Hawk Runners' First Meet With Missouri
Hanneken was seventh in last year's meet. He missed the indoor meet because of illness, but was runner-up for the outdoor two-mile, fourth in the NCAA 5,000 meters, and finished just ahead of Jayhawk ace Billy-Mills.
Other Tiger lettermen are Ray Schmitz, Joe Schroeder, Don Gabbert and Morris Patterson. Schmitz received most of the honors for the Tigers last year, finishing 14th in the conference meet.
Jayhawk veteran Bill Dotson won KU's final time trials in 14:33 minutes over a flat course. Billy Mills, Kansas' cross-country ace, coming back from an ankle injury, was a half-second behind. Sophomore Bill Hayward was the only other team member with a time under 15 minutes.
Three rookies, Kirk Hagen, Dave Kirkman and Ted Riesinger and junior Bob Lindrud, will complete the Jayhawk lineup.
Record Reliefer
The Missouri Tigers were the last — and only — conference club to beat Kansas. They outran Bill Easton's first KU team in 1947.
PITTSBURGH — (UPI) — Relief pitcher Elroy Face of the Pittsburgh Pirates set a major league record when he appeared in nine straight games, Sept. 3-13, 1957. Face pitched a total of 14 2 3 innings in the nine games, winning three and losing one.
