Speaking of sports College teams in 'critical' period
By Ron Yates, Kansan sports editor
Last weekend was a bad weekend for predicting the outcome of football games. My record for the year is 61-21-1 for a .714 average. Last weekend's record was 10-10. The balloon deflated quite a bit from the previous week's 18-1 record.
Maybe this weekend's football games will prove a little easier to predict than last week's. College football teams are now approaching the "critical" period of the campaign. Winning teams must continue to win in order to solidify their spot in the polls and losing teams must begin to make their move if they want to come out with a respectable season.
Here are this weekend's games:
Big Eight
Big Eight
Colorado 22, Kansas State 17—This game should be closer than many people think.
Oklahoma 31, Iowa State 20—Sooners rebound hard after loss to Texas.
Missouri 16, Nebraska 14—This game is at Columbia and that, combined with Tiger defense, should enable MU to trip Huskers in a great upset.
KU 27, Oklahoma State 19—Jayhawks will have problems with this fired-up Cowboy squad. The Cowboys have already knocked one team out of the top ten—why not another? Hawks should be very careful in this one.
Other Games
Arkansas 26, Texas 23—This is one of the top games of the week and could be very important in determining the Southwestern conference champ. Hogs should slip by Longhorns.
USC 30, Washington 17—Trojans should continue to roll.
Ohio State 27, Northwestern 7—Buckeyes will have no trouble with Wildcats.
Purdue 41, Wake Forest 10—One of the year’s greatest mismatches. Almost as bad as KU-New Mexico.
Notre Dame 33, Illinois 21—Illini will probably score on Irish, but not enough.
Florida 19, North Carolina 6—Gators will have a stiff battle for much of the game.
Tennessee 27, Alabama 24—Vols should handle a late surge by the Crimson Tide.
Georgia 29, Vanderbilt 14—Georgia too much for Vandy.
Miami (Fla.) 34, Virginia Tech 14—Hurricanes blow Tech off the field.
Stanford 23, Washington State 10—Stanford is much stronger than most people suspected.
Michigan 22, Indiana 18—A close game, but Wolverines should be able to stop Gonso and his gang.
Michigan State 17, Minnesota 13—Duffy’s boys will stop Gophers.
UCLA 20, California 16—Bruins pick up after loss to Penn State.
Texas Tech 24, Mississippi State 21—Red Raiders will have their hands full here.
Arizona State 18, Oregon State 14—ASU can beat Beavers if everything clicks.

Lawrence high school football coach Al Woolard was satisfied after last Friday's 21-7 victory over Shawnee Mission East. The victory ran Lawrence's record to 3-0-1 and left Eat at 0-4.
Coach satisfied at Lawrence high
All-State fullback Mike Cerne continued to roll up yards as he rushed 16 times for 94 yards. Cerne has gained 275 yards in 57 carries this season for almost a 5-yard average per carry. He has scored five touchdowns and passed for another.
Cerne scored one touchdown on a 30-yard run late in the first quarter. Later he tossed a scoring pass for 16 yards. He also punted five times for 196 yards and a 39.2 average.
"In't be something though," Woolard said. "He's one of the best football players I've ever seen. He gets one step and you've had it."
The Lions will travel to Leavenworth Friday night for a game with Leavenworth high school.
Cage team practicing
The KU freshman and varsity basketball squads began practice Tuesday with emphasis on fundamentals said head coach Ted Owens yesterday.
Owens, who is assisted by Sam Miranda, said that 15 players reported for Tuesday's practice. Gale Catlett is the head coach of the frosh team. He will be assisted by Roger Bohnenstiel, a former KU cage star of the last three years.
Star Center
MONTREAL (UPI)—Stan Mikitas, center for the Chicago Black Hawks, is the only player in National Hockey League history to win three individual trophies in any one season.
The big difference in the Oklahoma game was Sooner quarterback Jack Mildren.
"He was fantastic," Tomey said. "He completed 14 passes for 360 yards. He was so good throwing the ball that we couldn't handle him."
Freshman football Coach Dick Tomey believes that he has better overall personnel on this year's team than last year's despite the opening 55-20 loss to Oklahoma Monday night.

"We had 28 first downs in the game," Tomey said, "and we rushed for 300 yards. We also passed for 140 yards. That's enough to win in most circumstances."
Tomey singled out four frosh who turned in outstanding performances against Oklahoma:
Kenny Page, a 193-pound tackle from Dodge City; Jummy Jukes, a 205-pound tailback from Fairfax, Va., who gained 138 yards in 26 carries; Phil Basle, a

Tomey said the offense performed well, but the defensive ends and secondary were poor.
"Oklahoma has one of the better freshman teams in the conference," Tomey said.
While the freshman team is trying to win as many games as possible, Tomey said that their main purpose is to build future varsity players.
212-pound fullback from Independence, Mo., who carried 24 times for 94 yards; and, Mark Geraghty, a 165-pound split end from Mission.

Tomey said Missouri is always good, and that Oklahoma State beat the Kansas State frosh 39-7 in their openers.

Neither Kansas State nor Missouri athletic officials have announced the games with Kansas are sellouts, but Johnson said he understands both are "very close to the sellout stage."
The Jayhawk ticket manager emphasized that plenty of tickets are still available for all three of Kansas' remaining home games, including this Saturday's match with Oklahoma State which is expected to draw about 36,000 fans into KU's 51,500 seat capacity Memorial Stadium.
The freshman football team's next game is at KU against Missouri, Nov. 1. Other games are against Oklahoma State at KU Nov. 8 and K-State at Manhattan Nov. 15. The frosh play a tfour-season season.
