COACH ON THE ATTACK
Player-coach Steve Keeler is on the attack against a fellow KU fencer in a practice bout. KU's fencing team, which will travel to Bartlesville, Okla., tomorrow for their fourth meet, is training for the NCAA season which begins in the middle of December.
KU fencers rate high
KU's fencing coach feels that the United States fencing team could have done better in the Olympics if the members of the team were selected earlier in the year.
"They could help each other improve if they met earlier," player-coach Steve Keeler says. "There would also be a psychological advantage in that there would be more team spirit."
"I am pretty pleased with the way the returning fencers have
The KU fencing team will journey to Bartlesville, Okla., tomorrow for its fourth meet of the season.
Telecast scheduled of KU-KSU
NEW YORK (UPI)—The American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has announced that it will regionally televise the Kansas-Kansas State football game Nov. 16.

been performing," the coach said. "We are, however, short of experienced fencers."
Keeler said that two of the experienced members of the team, Tom Fenton, Barrington, Ill., senior, and Ken Muller, Kansas City, senior, have shown the talent that could earn them berths on the 1972 Olympic team.
Fenton, who specializes in sabre, captured first place in that event at a meet in Lawrence Oct. 13. Fencers from KU, Kansas City Metro, the University of Missouri at Kansas City, and from the Bartlesville, Okla., and Wichita fencing clubs competed in the meet.

KU's Nancy Campbell earned the top award in women's foil, while teammate Martha Miller placed third.
Muller grabbed a third-place in men's foil and a third in one-touch epee in a five-team meet at New Robinson Sept. 29.
Last Sunday, the KU fencing team ranked third in team epee, behind Tulsa and Wichita fencing teams, in a meet at Sacred Heart College in Wichita. Competing against 13 other fencers, KU's Don Anderson battled for a third-place in individual epee.
Oklahoma tough 3 ways: Owens, Warmack, Hinton
By BOB KEARNEY Assistant Sports Editor
It's not too difficult for a casual football observer to be confused about KU's opponent tomorrow.
There's talk about a super running back—and orange juice—in the same breath. Maybe O. J. Simpson and Southern Cal's Troians?
A good guess, but nevertheless wrong.
That talk concerns Oklahoma's great tailback, Steve Owens and the abominable Oklahoma Orange Party of a year ago.
Owens, a slashing 202-pound junior and almost a cinch to repeat as Big Eight rushing king, should become Oklahoma's all-time leading ground gainer. And the Orange Party may already be Oklahoma's all-time most notorious crowd exhibition.
KU hopes it has solutions to both when the unbeaten and third-ranked Jayhawks (7-0) host Oklahoma (3-3) in this week's conference headliner.
Fearing retaliation for the barrage of oranges that showered KU's bench in its 1967 visit to Norman, Okla., officials here will be taking precautions to avert a Lawrence replay—no matter what a sellout crowd of 51,500 "eye for an eye" fans might like to see happen.
That which takes place on the Memorial Stadium turf will be another story of retaliation—hopefully-for KU. The Jayhawks, out to avege last year's 14-10 loss to the Sooners, face another statistical phenom.
A week ago, it was Colorado quarterback Bob Anderson. KU's defense, which has allowed a combined total of only 35 points through three quarters, choked the league's total offense leader to an all-time Anderson low.
This week, it's Owens—and some fellas named Warmack and Hinton.
Owens ranks third in the nation, behind USC's Simpson and West Texas State's Eugene "Mercury" Morris, with a 151-yard-per-game rushing average. His 910 yards, combined with last year's league-leading total of 808, leave him just 402 yards

Bob Warmack, the slight 176-pound quarterback who steered Oklahoma to a 26-24 Orange Bowl upset of Tennessee, now ranks second in both passing and total offense. Warmack has completed 64 of 118 passes for 967 yards and eight touchdowns.

Tomorrow, Warmack could become only the third in Big Eight history to surpass the 4,000-yard level in total offense. The three-year starter is now only 135 yards short of that milestone.
Eddie Hinton, Oklahoma's crack wide receiver, represents a third potent weapon. His 34 pass receptions for 584 yards leads the conference. Even while wearing a soft cast on his left hand, Hinton caught a slippery pigskin five times for 73 yards during the flash flood victory over Kansas State last week.
But for all its offensive might, the Sooners have had defensive woes. In its three losses—to Notre Dame (45-21), to Texas (26-20), and to Colorado (41-27)—Oklahoma had an average yield of 37 points.
It's the lightest, but far from lightest-regarded, defensive crew in the league. Average weight in the line is a scant 207 pounds with ends Steve Zabel (217) and Jim Files (208), tackles Dick Paaso (204) and John Titsworth (208), and middle guard Joe Kusiai (200).
Neither are the linebackers bulky: Don Primmer (193), Steve Casteel (205), and Gary Harper (194). And even with experienced hands Bruce Stensrud and Steve Barrett, with Joe Pearce, in the secondary, OU ranks seventh in pass defense.
The offensive line has been a key factor in making Oklahoma second only to KU in total offense and scoring. Tackles are Byron Bigby (222) and Jack Porter (221), guards Ed Lancaster (203) and Bill Efstrom (196), and center Ken Mendenhall (209).
OU Coach Chuck Fairbanks speaks highly of the Jayhawks. "Don't go too deep in the cookie jar for this one," he warns Sooner fans. "We'll have to play considerably better than we have all year to have a chance to win.

And the 727 trijet, the 737 twinjet, Boeing-Vertol helicopters, the Boeing-built first stage for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Apollo/Saturn V moon rocket. And the NASA Lunar Orbiter, the USAF Minuteman, and the USN hydrofoil gunboat Tucumcari.
Boeing has exciting new projects on the way up, too. The 747 superjet, world's largest and fastest commercial jetliner, scheduled to make its first flight by the end of 1968. America's supersonic transport, now being developed at the company's Commercial Airplane Division. Plus other advanced programs in early development and on Boeing drawing boards.
They can help get your career off to a dynamic start in applied research, design, test, manufacturing, service or facilities engineering or computer technology.
