Kansas, Nebraska Injuries Pile Up
Ry United Press International
Kansas' Jayhawkers came through the game with K-State with several minor bruises and one possibly serious hurt. Nebraska has four men on the doubtful list because of injuries.
Second-string center Walt Schmidt may not be able to play against the Huskers after suffering rib bruises in Saturday's game. If not, KU's lack of center depth may cause Coach Jack Mitchell some worries.
Nebraska's Pat Fischer, left halfback, may be back for action Saturday. Although he has been on the injury list numerous times since the season began, he looked good enough in yesterday's scrimmage to be ready by the end of the week.
At Oklahoma, Bud Wilkinson yesterday gave his Sooners a day off for blasting Colorado 23-7 last week. Wilkinson claimed "a small margin" of better line play was the deciding factor.
Dal Ward of Colorado today shuffled members of his first two teams to get better balance for the next opponent, Missouri.
Scout Will Walls said Missouri was the best team he's seen all year—including Syracuse and Oregon State.
Dan Devine of Missouri countered that "we're looking for a real tough battle" Colorado holds the advantage in depth, experience and team speed.
Missouri quarterback, Phil Snowden, yesterday ran for the first time since he was injured in the Oct. 25 Iowa State game. Unless he plays Saturday, Bob Haas will remain the No.1 quarterback.
Templin Into Semifinals
The Templinites, riding high on an ever-increasing victory string, moved into the semifinals of the Independent intramural football league last night by beating Battenfeld 7-0.
The Templinites had gained their division championship whipping Oread 26-6 Friday. Joe Haines, who tossed the only touchdown in last night's game, also scored in the victory over Oread.
Oread, also moving into the semifinals of Independent play, defeated Jolliffe 19-0. Schumacher grabbed a pass from Wedgeworth and intercepted a Jolliffe pass to score two touchdowns. Wedgeworth passed to Wong for the other score.

Falcons Considered For Gator Bowl Bid
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (UPI)— Fifteen of the nation's top-ranked teams, including the surprising Air Force Academy, are being considered for bids to the Gator Bowl football classic here Dec. 17.
George Olson, general manager of the Gator Bowl Association, announced today that the nine-member selection committee would review the results of the 15 teams in this Saturday's contests and narrow the list again next week.
Jayhawkter Coach Jack Mitchell led the Big Seven conference in scoring with 60 points in 1948 as a quarterback for Oklahoma.
Kansas State worked high-speed running drills on offense and defense yesterday for the Oklahoma State game. Oklahoma State is promised another aerial attack when it meets the Wildcats.
Iowa State's dwindling stack of Cyclones suffered another blow when it was announced that end and team captain Gale Gibson will miss the Oklahoma game Saturday because of an ankle sprain suffered in the South Dakota game
KU String Threatened
The 27th annual race will be held at Norman this Saturday. The Kansas University individual winning string of 12 straight years may be threatened by an Oklahoma University runner.
NORMAN, Okla. —(UPI)—The Big Eight cross-country contest will be held here instead of Ames or Lawrence for the first time in nine years.
Oklahoma's Gail Hodgson defeated the Kansans on their own course last week, taking first place with a 14:57.6 time over the three-mile course.
Odds Pile Up For Sooners Over Missouri
An old saying among gamblers used to go, "Never bet against the New York Yankees or Notre Dame."
During the past few years the wording has been changed to "put your money on the Yankees and Oklahoma."
The Sooners proved their right to the respect of national odds-makers by soundly trouncing arch-rival Colorado 23-7 Saturday.
In so doing the Big Red put down the most serious challenge to their Big Eight supremacy in six years.
In posting its 68th conference win without a defeat, Oklahoma knocked Colorado from the ranks of the undefeated.
Missouri is the only team left in the Sooners path which is considered to have even an outside chance of keeping the Sooners from a return trip to the Orange Bowl.
MU easily disposed of Nebraska 31-0 Saturday to keep its conference slate clean.
Missouri will have to get by Colorado this week at Columbia to keep its way clear for the big game with the Sooners.
The Tigers have come along rapidly against conference foes after early season loses to Vanderbilt and SMU.
Oklahoma has only a one point loss to Texas to mar its record. But its a good bet the smart gamblers will support the Sooners when the Oklahomaans meet Missouri.
Their reason is simple. This was supposed to be "the year of years" for Coach Dal Ward and the Buffalooes. But the men who place the bets remembered that the Sooners have been champions ever since Bud Wilkinson came to Norman.
So the Missouri Tigers may be improving rapidly, but they won't be the pick for the Big Eight title.
The money is on the Sooners.

Buffs Still Head Big 8 Statistics
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Colorado, thwarted in its annual attempt to beat Oklahoma, still managed to retain command of the Big Eight football statistics, even though the Buffaloes dropped off sharply from their top spot nationally.
After Saturday, Colorado's total offense average in six games dropped from 411.2 to 373.6, its rushing sagged from 347.2 to 300.
Howard Cook, Buffalo halfback, who was limited to 18 yards on 12 carries against Oklahoma, still is No. 1 in the conference with 518 yards on 81 attempts, Cook, who scored Colorado's lone touchdown against the Sooners, remained on top as the leading scorer with 59 points.
The Sooners, bidding to repeat as champion and to return to the Orange Bowl, have 2,190 yards in total offense for runner-up honors. Iowa State advanced to third with 2,011.
Les Krull, Kansas State quarterback, took command in forward passing, replacing the injured Phil Snowden of Missouri. Krull has completed 39 of 66 for 498 yards. Snowden dropped to third with 34 of 57 for 429.
Doyle Schick of Kansas came from nowhere to become the third-ranking punter. The Jayhawker fullback has booted 12 for a 41.7 average.
