Rank along with those the 28 Lionel Smith of Missouri scored against Purdue, the 18.6 average of Kansas State center Jack Parr, and individual performances like Joe King of Oklahoma's 21 points against Illinois and Jim Kubacki of Nebraska's 21 against Michigan and you see most Big Seven teams coming up with potent offenses.
