University Daily Kansan SPORTS Commissioner Says OfficiatingWasBad
By United Press International
Reaves Peters, Big Eight conference commissioner, acknowledged at a meeting of the Kansas City, Kan., Quarterback Club that the officiating in the Kansas-Oklahoma game "apparently was lousy."
"Never during my playing or coaching days have I witnessed such an exhibition," Mitchell said.
He made the statement following a remark by Kansas Coach Jack Mitchell, the speaker at the meeting.
"If Big Eight officiating stays as it is, Commissioner Peters must accept the responsibility."
Peters then took the floor and told the audience that while he had attended the K-State-Missouri game in Manhattan, he had heard enough to conclude that the officiating in Lawrence was poor.
He said he did not want to shift the responsibility or alibi, but that football officials sometimes get confused.
He told Mitchell that the four officials had been "highly rated by your predecessors (the three coaches who left the Big Eight league this year), but if you don't like them, give them a zero and they won't be back."
Big Eight coaches and officials are given an opportunity to grade officials for hiring purposes.
Mitchell did not charge the officials with dishonesty or favoritism. Mistakes had been made on Kansas' behalf as well as Oklahoma's, he said.
Fraternity A IM Teams Move Into 3-Way Tie
Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi and Phi Delta Theta yesterday tied for leadership of the Fraternity A intramural division. Each team has lost one game.
The Betas romped over Sigma Alpha Epsilon 27-6 while Sigma Chi was slapping the Phi Delts with their first loss 21-0.
Schwartz passed for all four touchdowns for the Betas. Richardson and McElvain snagged two apiece. Larry McCully kicked the three extra points. Kerr scored for the losers.
For Sigma Chi, it was Hemseil, Wood and Thorning scoring six points each. Benz accounted for three extra points.
Phi Gamma Delta II found things easy in Fraternity B play as Sigma Nu submitted 1-0 on a forfeit.
Plan Tourney For Bowlers
Plans for a Big Eight bowling league are now being made, Bascom Fearing, recreation manager of the Kansas Union, said.
The conference bowling league will be played on a postal tripleround-robin schedule. In all postels meet the teams participate at home and phone or mail the results to the conference headquarters. There, the winners and the league standings are announced.
Bascom also reported that a proposal for an intercollegiate bowling tourney is being talked about over the country.
"The tourney would be similar to the national basketball tourney with regionals and finals." These would not be postal meets," he said.
Here at KU the intramural bowling leagues are in their fifth week. There are 13 leagues this semester. Second semester, new leagues will be formed.
"Too many leagues are broken up because of students graduating or leaving school," said Mr. Bascom. "So we form new ones at the semester."

"This is a severe blow." Coach Jack Mitchell said. "We had gone two games with the same personnel and had improved some. Now we are in bad shape."
Two first team players were knocked out—possibly for the season. Center Chet Vanatta and guard Ken Fitch showed up for practice yesterday with knee injuries.
Kansas took more than a drop in league standings as a result of the Oklahoma football game Saturday.
Gene Dittenber, second team end, is also out with a shoulder separation.
As a result of the injuries, Mitchell moved Walt Schmidt to his original position this year as center. Dick Rohlf moved into guard to replace Fitch.
OKLAHOMA CITY — John Pellow, the third string Oklahoma back who ran the controversial touchdown in the Kansas-Oklahoma game, was definitely out of bounds, Coach Bud Wilkinson said at a quarterback meeting here yesterday.
"There were a lot of spectators on the side lines and the officials couldn't see."
"The officials definitely made a mistake," Wilkinson said. "However, it didn't make any difference. Everyone blows one once in a while.
Pellow, whose score was the last in the 43-0 game, ran 80 yards for the touchdown. Game films showed he stepped out of bounds on the Kansas 10. Officials awarded Oklahoma the touchdown.

It was a sad day for the faithful who sat in Memorial Stadium Saturday and watched Oklahoma roll up a 43-0 win over the Jayhawkers.
The KU fans who stayed at home by their televisoin sets had an even worse time. They were not only beaten by the Sooners, but by the TV production as well
The picture was clear. The sound was distinct. And the front room fans had no traffic jams to worry about after the game. They settled back in their easy chairs with sand-wiches and coffee as the teams took the field for the third quarter.
while the Sooners turned the game into a rout, the TV audience stared at "trouble on the cable" signs.

At the stadium, the big disappointment came in the final period. At the same time, the roof fell in on the TV audience.
KANSAS CITY, Mo—(UPI) -- Missouri's sophomore halfback Mel West, who ran 170 yards against Kansas State Saturday, vaulted to the top in rushing statistics of the Big Eight Conference.
The video audience shared the excitement of those in the stands as the Jayhawkers slugged it out on almost even terms in the first quarter.
Missouri Back Leads Rushers
The video viewers remained faithful at the end of the quarter. The score was 22-0. KU could still score and make a close game of it.
West's weekend performance shoved him ahead of Howard Cook of Colorado, last week's leader, with a 375-total for 71 carries. Cook showed 373 vards in 56 carries.
The game was still interesting at the half with Oklahoma leading by only two touchdowns.
