Speaking of sports
Hawks 28, Sooners 23?
By Ron Yates, Kansan sports editor
Saturday will mark the 66th time Kansas and Oklahoma have met on the football field. The Sooners hold a 38-21-6 edge in the series, but many KU fans believe the Jayhawks will move up on OU after Saturday's game.
OU may not have the high-scoring machine it had during the Fifties, but it will present the Jayhawks with many problems, both on defense and offense. Predicting the outcome of this game is a tough assignment—as are most of the games scheduled for this weekend. The nation's top teams are involved in games which could decide if they will play in post-season bowl games.
So far this year my football prediction record is 100-34-5 for a .746 average. There are two more weeks left in which to reach my personal goal of .800—and things are looking pretty dim.
BIG EIGHT
Colorado 24, Oklahoma State 20-Buffs squeak by overdue Cowbovs.
Missouri 31, Iowa State 10—Tigers win big in Columbia.
Nebraska 38, K-State 21-Huskers have superior physical strength and should wear down the Wildcats in this high-scoring contest.
KU 28, Oklahoma 23-Jayhawks should control the game, but Sooners will make a surge late in the game. OU needs this game to stay in race and retain a respectable season. A big win over the third-ranked Hawks would do wonders for that OU football prestige. OTHER GAMES

Late spree earns edge
SYDNEY (UPI) -Gay Brewer of Dallas dropped in five birdies on the back nine yesterday to take a one-stroke lead in the Willis Masters golf classic with a six-under-par 67.
Australian Peter Thomson was second, and sharing third place at 69 were South African Gary Plainer, Brian Peter Townsend, and Jack Newton, an 18-year-old amateur from Sydney.
Brewer made the turn in with a one-under 36, but he lived up to his reputation as one of the world's top putters by dropping in five birds within seven holes on the back nine.
making ends meet.
He started his binge on the 11th hole and got three consecutive birdies on the 13th to the 15th. His final birdie—on the 17th—gave him the lead.
The ends in this case are tight end Ted Kwalick of fourthranked Penn State (6-0) and Ted Hendricks, Miami's All-America defensive end.
Kwalick, 6-4 and 230 pounds, is a bruising blocker who is generally considered the finest tight end in the collegiate ranks. A leading candidate for All-America honors, Kwalick also is an outstanding pass receiver, catching 16 passes for 195 yards this season—an average of 12.2 per catch.
The pair will line up opposite each other for much of tomorrow's game at Penn State, and the eventual outcome may well hinge on how one handles the other.
Hendricks is the key to the tough Hurricane defense, one of the tops in the nation. Known as the "Mad Stork," the gangly 6-7, 235-pounder is labelled as a "can't miss" prospect by pro scouts. A ferocious tackler who caused over a dozen fumbles last season,
Hendricks' ability to penetrate and halt the Nittany Lions' strong running attack could be the key to the outcome.
