Big Seven Conference teams are carrying their weight in national collegiate competition this school year.
Oklahoma leads the way so far with national titles in football and wrestling and a seventh in swimming.
Bud Wilkinson and Port Robertson, football and wrestling coaches, won their third national titles.
Kansas has already won two second places in NCAA competition. Coach Dick Harp's basketball team carried North Carolina three extra periods before bowing in the NCAA' finals.
Coach Bill Easton's cross country squad was runner-up to Michigan State last fall.
Iowa State took third in the NCAA wrestling meet at Pittsburgh, Pa. With Oklahoma taking first and Iowa State third, wrestling has been the Big Seven's strongest sport nationally.
Colorado Rates Place
Oklahoma didn't monopolize the football honors. Colorado's pounding single wing team, Big Seven runners-up, won the Orange Bowl game from Clemson in a savage display of power.
The Big Seven has also produced several national champions and all-Americans this school year. Four Oklahoma football players made various all-American first teams last fall. They are center Jerry Tubbs, halfback Tommy McDonald, tackle Ed Gray and guard Krisher.
Fullback John Bayuk of Colorado also rated the all-American list, joining Kriser on the Sports Illustrated team.
The Big Seven led the nation on most basketball all-American teams with two representatives, KU's Wilt Chamberlain and Iowa State's Gary Thompson.
Danny Hodge and Dick Delgado, Oklahoma wrestlers, won national championships with Hodge being voted the nation's best the second year in a row.
Julian Dyason, Oklahoma swimmer, won the national collegiate championship in the 100-yard breaststroke in the NCAA meet at Chapel Hill, N. C.
And the 1956-57 school year isn't over.
Golfers Easily Defeat I-State
KU's golf team stretched its winning streak to nine Thursday as it defeated Iowa State $12 \frac{1}{2}-2 \frac{1}{2}$ in a five-man match. The match was played at Ames on the first leg of a four-day road trip for Kansas.
The next match for the Jayhawkers will be against Nebraska on Saturday. The match will be played at Lincoln.
On April 20, Kansas defeated the Cornhuskers $19\frac{1}{2}-1\frac{1}{2}$ at the Lawrence Country Club. Medalist in that match was KU's Bill Toalson with a 1-over-par 73. Low man for Nebraska was Warren Christenson with an 81.
The genius of a 15-century prince, Henry the Navigator, set the stage for Portugal's days of glory. He fused the best scientific talents of the time into a pioneer school of navigation.
Athletics Go Down,3-1 To Early Yankee Rally
The New York Yankees defeated Kansas City Thursday night 3-1. Tom Sturdivant held the A's to seven scattered hits and struck out three for his first victory of the season.
Kansas City's Ryne Duren fanned eight Yankees in the seven innings he pitched. It was his initial start in the majors. Maury McDermott finished the game for the A's.
New York scored first in the opening frame when Gil McDougald singled, took second when Gus Zernial kicked the ball in left field and
Robin Roberts Comes Back
It's plain today those obituaries of Robin Roberts' demise as a star pitcher were somewhat premature.
Three straight losses this year on top of last season's so-so 19-18 record had the experts counting Robin "out," but the burly Philadelphia Phillies' right-hander proved last night he's still "got it" with a 4-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs in which he allowed only three hits and struck out 13. The strikeout total was the highest of Robin's personal career and established a major league high for the current campaign.
Roberts, who had a 4.33 earned run average after losing his first three starts, retired the first 12 batters to face him and struck out six of them.
The Milwaukee Braves took a two-game hold on first place with an 8-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, the St. Louis Cardinals scored a 3-2 win over the Brooklyn Dodgers in a four-hour and 45-minute, 16-inning marathon and the Cincinnati Reddels downed the New York Giants, 9-7, in the other National League games.
In the American League, the Chicago White Sox made it 10 victories in 12 games with a 6-1 decision over the Washington Senators, the New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Athletics, 3-1, and the Detroit Tigers downed the Boston Red Sox, 7-5. Baltimore and Cleveland were idle.
The A's tied the count in the second inning when Irv Noren was safe on an error, went to third or Jim Pisoni's error and came home on a bunt by Duren.
crossed the plate on Mickey Mantle's ground single.
The Yanks clinched the game in the third on a triple by Tony Kubek, a walk by Mantle, Yogi Berra's sacrifice fly, a theft of second by Mantle and Bill Skowron's single.
Kubek and Bill Martin added extra base hits for the Yankees.
"A corrosive, cynical comment on TV-Radio-Row. 'The Great Man' pounces quickly on its subject matter and from first image to last, never lets go. Directed with vigor and played with bumps. Well worth seeing!"
GREAT!

Maxim - Machen Rematch Tonight
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—(UP)—Young Eddie Machen, confident that what he did once he can do again, takes on aging Joey Maxim tonight in an effort to establish his claim to a shot at the world heavyweight title.
The nationally - televised 10- rounder is a repeat of a January bout in Miami, in which Machen not only decisioned the former light heavy king but became one of the few men who ever knocked Maxim down.
Machen, at 25, has climbed to No.
2 ranking among the heavyweight contenders in a brief career that includes 20 victories in as many fights.
For Maxim, the return match represented a last chance to earn one more big purse before he calls it quits on a 22-year career. He and manager Jack Kearns figure that a victory over Machen would earn Maxim a title bout with Floyd Patterson and a probable payoff of about $100,000.
