Corch Dallas Ward's Colorado Buffaloes have been named to represent the Big Seven in the Orange Bowl come Jan. 1, 1957.
Last week Colorado held Missouri, it's only challenger for the Bowl berth, to a 14-14 tie, giving the Mountain Men a 4-1-1 record as they completed loop play.
Missouri has won two, lost one, and tied one in conference competition, but Don Faurot's Tigers still must face Oklahoma, which virtually guarantees a second loss for the Missourians.
The Tigers made a determined effort to bounce back against Colorado last Saturday, after a 15-14 upset at the hands of the Nebraska Cornhuskers had spoiled their hopes of an undisputed second place finish.
Against Colorado, Missouri completely dominated the statistical column, but a pair of Colorado seniors and a pair of sophomores provided the necessary "equalizer" to nail down the bowl bid.
The seniors were fullback John Bayuk and end Frank Clarke. The sophomores were quarterback Boyd Dowler and tailback Howard Cook.
Dowler connected with Clarke on a pair of passes which accounted for both CU touchdowns. The two scoring efforts were the only passes completed by the Buffs during the game, as four other attempts went astray.
Colorado gained only 35 yards passing, and added a meager 106 yards on the ground, as the hard-hitting Missouri defense refused to yield except on the two scoring drives.
Most of the rushing yardage came from Bayuk and Cook. Cook, who was the outstanding back in CU's 26-25 win over Kansas, gained 29 yards, and Bayuk picked up 26 vital yards on 10 bucks into the line.
Missouri racked up 361 yards altogether-250 on the ground and 111 in the air. The Tigers also held a 19-9 advantage in the first down department.
It ran the Tigers' offensive yardage total through eight games to a nifty 2,803 yards. That ranks second in the Big Seven, although it's nearly 150* yards behind Oklahoma's 2,950 figure.
(Oklahma has compiled that figure in 7 games, for a nation-topping average of 421.4 yards per game.)
Kansas, in eight games,' has picked up 2.175 yards, which is a respectable figure. But the Jayhawkers have given up 2,616 yards to the opposition, and this is the figure which is primarily responsible for the 3-4-1 record now owned by Kansas.
Tommy McDonald of Oklahoma has taken over the Big Seven rushing lead while his touchdown twin, Clendon Thomas, held on to the scoring lead, Big Seven statistics showed today.
Sooners Dominate Statistics; Floyd, McCue With Leaders
McDonald picked up 97 yards against Iowa State to boost his seven-game total of 551 yards on 84 carries.
John (The Beast) Bayuk of Colorado, who led in rushing for several weeks, got only 26 yards against Missouri and dropped to fourth, carrying 95 times for 528 vards.
KU's one-two punch of fullback Homer Floyd and halfback Charlie McCue gave the Jayhawkers two of the top seven rushers in the conference. Floyd has gained 522 yards on 102 carries to hold the fifth position, and McCue has netted 341 yards on 74 carries.
Thomas was second with 74 for 544 and Jerry Brown of Nebraska third with 92 for 540.
The sophomores only score came in the second period. The seniors had the ball on their own 10-yard-line when a bad pass from center sailed over Simpson's head. Jim Leech fell on the ball in the end zone to make the score 19-6.
Thomas also led in scoring with 84 points, followed by McDonald with 72. Bayuk was third with 42 and Hank Kuhlmann of Missouri was fourth with 37. Floyd was fifth with 36 points, and McCue was in a three-way tie for sixth with 30 tallies.
Jimmy Hunter to Charlie James, the Missouri passing combo, held those leads. Hunter has completed 37 of 73 for 489 yards and James has caught 25 for 290 yards. KU's Wally Strauch-Jim Letecavits combo was second in passing and receiving.
Oklahoma led in total offense with 2,950 yards for seven games. In the eight game category it was Missouri with 2,803, Colorado 2,280, Kansas 2,175, Nebraska 2,107, Kansas State 2,035 and Iowa State 1,558.
The most spectacular play of the game was made by the sophomores although they did not score on it. Quarterback Larry Schwartz passed
Billy Pricer of Oklahoma was top punter with an average of 48.7 and Bob Marshall of Kansas was the top returner with an average of 20.7
Tennessee, the pride of Dixie after it defeated Georgia Tech 6 to 0 Saturday, will play in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans Jan. 1, but no official announcement can be made until December 1, it was learned Monday.
Tennessee Is Choice For Sugar Bowl Bid
It was also believed Miami will get the other spot provided it wins a majority of its remaining games and can get the NCAA to lift its ban. The penalty against Miami is expected to be suspended at this week's meeting.
4 Homers In 10-2 Bum Win
Seniors, Juniors Victorious In All-Star Football Play
The Brooklyn Dodgers bade farewell to Tokyo Monday with four mighty home runs and a 10-2 rout of the Japan All-Stars. Jackie Robinson, Gil Hodges, Roy Campanella and Peewee Reese each homered in the Dodger's last appearance in Tokyo and next-to-last game in Japan.
The juniors will play the seniors Wednesday for the class football championship. The seniors downed the sophomores 19-6 and the Juniors beat the freshmen 34-0 Monday to enter the finals.
The seniors crammed three touchdowns into the first quarter and then held on to post their victory. Darrell Simpson threw to Mike Swanson for the first senior score. The seniors scored again three minutes later when Dee Lander took a Simpson pass and raced 15 yards to score.
Swanson tallied the seniors final touchdown shortly before the first quarter ended when he took a Simpson pass and ran for the touchdown.
The senior rushers, Jim Curry, Greg Fouts, and Herb Wilkening did a tremendous job of rushing Schwartz, sophomore passer. He was tagged several times before he could throw the ball and was always hurried.
from his own end zone to end Brad Sheafer who was behind the senior secondary. Mike Swanson saved the touchdown for the seniors, when he caught Sheafer on the senior 9 yard line. The play covered 65 yards.
The juniors had little trouble with the freshmen. Jim Trombold passed for all the junior touchdowns, as the winners rolled to a 20-0 halftime lead and coated in.
The juniors wasted no time getting started in the second half as Harve Newlin gathered in a Trombold pass and ran for a touchdown. Becker got his second touchdown of the day in the fourth period on a short pass from Trombold.
Coach Chuck Mather described the game played by KU Saturday against Nebraska as good, but he said the visitors played a great game.
Mather Satisfied With KU Play
The freshmen's only scoring threat name in the second period. Bob Henderson intercepted a Trombold hat pass on his own 5 yard line and raced 65 yards to the junior 10 yard line before Trombold caught him.
The difference in the game was that the Cornhuskers had no costly penalties, no fumbles, and no interceptions. Mather said. He said it is very seldom that one sees that kind of football.
Mather thought that KU still could have won the game if it hadn't received a clipping penalty which moved the ball back to the Jayhawk one foot line instead of the NU 26 yard line where Bobby Robinson had run the ball. Also, the loss of Bob Marshall early in the game hurt both the Kansas offense and defense.
The Jayhawkers had a light workout Monday. Mather said KU had no serious injuries in Saturday's game. Marshall worked out and will be ready for this Saturday's game with UCLA.
Fullback H. C. Palmer and tackle Tom Russell are expected to be ready for UCLA. Galen Wahmeier, center and co-captain, reported for practice Monday and might see some duty.
Mather expects the Uclans to be big and fast and a team that won't make many mistakes.
Kansas Weslyan In Non-League Tilt by UNITED PRESS
Kansas Wesleyan, undefeated and untied in eight games so far and undisputed champion of the Kansas Conference, steps out of its league to play Southwestern in a final game this weekend.
Southwestern, with a 3-4-2 record, defeated the CIC champion St. Benedict's Ravens, 15-0 in the regular season and could be an extremely tough opponent.
OU, Tennessee Share Honors
Oklahoma, the perennial Big Seven powerhouse, again held the No. 1 rating among the United Press nationwide coaches' poll, but the Sooners were a scant two votes behind Tennessee in the Associated Press writer's poll.
The Sooners got 92 first place votes to 58 for Tennessee in the AP balloting, but the Vols, undefeated in seven games, had 1,446 total points to 1,444 for Oklahoma. Tennessee defeated fifth-ranked Georgia Tech last Saturday, 6-0, while Oklahoma was thumping Iowa State, 44-0.
The remainder of the coaches poll had Texas A&M third, followed by Michigan State, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Iowa, Oregon State, Michigan, and Miami.
No Big Seven team except Okla-

picked up two votes to tie for 24th.
The widest margin of victory between UCLA and KU was 25 points, when the Bruins defeated the Jayhawkers 32-7 in 1954.
