6 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Thursday, October 24, 1968 OU's Owens on his way KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Loren Everett Owens, a great author in his own right, is using a pseudonym while attempting to rewrite the Big Eight Conference record book. He is better known as Steve and he's always thought he'd like to be a running back. That he is now for Oklahoma and he could just well end up being the most productive of the breed in Big Eight history. For the third straight week, and for the seventh time in his short career, he has blown through heavy traffic in the middle for over 100 yards rushing in a game. His 175 last week—the most by a Big Eight back since Nebraska's Frank Solich fled for 204 against Air Force back in 1965—shot him to a commanding lead in the league's rushing race with an average of 133 a game and 532 for the year. With six games yet to go, Owens is well on his way to becoming only the second in Big Eight history to gain over 2,000 yards in his first two years of play. Only Kansas' Gale Sayers has accomplished that, getting 2,042 as a sophomore and junior while on his way to the league's career record of 2,675. Owens, who now has an all-games total of 1,401, could actually slip past Sayers' two-year production by averaging only 107 lengths for the remaining games. This would leave him a virtual cinch to break Sayers' career record since the Jayhawk great slipped to only 633 his final season. However, if Owens were to increase his current 133 average by just two yards, ie'd not only move way ahead of Sayers' record pace (he'd have 2,219 by the end of this season), but he'd also surpass the seemingly industriable single-season rushing record of 1,342 set by Nebraska's Bobby Reynolds way back in 1950. And, after last week, when he exploded for four touchdowns to move just a touchdown behind scoring leader Bobby Douglass of Kansas, Owens is also making quite a run at the career scoring record of 242 held by Buddy Leake of Oklahoma, who had four years to accumulate the production. Owens, who led the Big Eight in the department last year, now has 114, including 36 this year. Owens also leads in tandem offense with his 134.3 game average. Creators of outstanding days to take over department leads were Oklahoma State's Ronnie Johnson and Colorado's Bob Anderson. Johnson hit 16 passes for 259 yards against Kansas, the eighth best single-game aerial production the Big Eight has ever seen. He now leads in passing with a 175.5 average after four games. Anderson set a new total offense record for Colorado by putting together 282 yards against Kansas State, including 206 passing, and moved past Oklahoma's Bob Warmack in the tight total offense race, though Warmack could be held accountable for 204 against Iowa State. Anderson, with his 212.6 average, is the first to go over 1,000 yards for the year (1,063). Warmack has a 200 game mark. Other leaders include Oklahoma's Eddie Hinton, receiving (23 for 378); Kansas State's Bob Coble, punting (43.3); Iowa State's Jeff Allen, kickoff returning (435), as he nears the Big Eight's seasonal record of 516; and Missouri's Roger Wehrli, punt returning (304).
