stayed in front as the league's top
ground gainer with 85 carries for
502 yards. Missouri's aerial com-
bination leads the pack. Jimmy
Hunter has completed 30 of 62 passes
for 397 yards. Charlie James has
caused 23 passes for 273 yards.
Oklahoma, defending national champion, maintained a steady pace in quenching Colorado's upset bid. The Sooners, leading the nation in rushing and total offense, now have a 3455 average on the ground and 4128 average over-all in six games.
Clendon Thomas of OU remained second in the rushing category with 64 carries for 495 yards. Teammate Tommy McDonald moved from fourth to third with 74 for 454. Homer Floyd of Kansas, who picked up 136 yards against Kansas State, moved up to fourth with 450 yards on 86 attempts.
Behind Hunter in passing are Wally Strauch of Kansas with 16 completions out of 39 for 291 yards and Jimmy Harris of OU with 13 of 17 for 219.
Pricer Leads Punters
McDonald advanced from fifth to second in pass receiving. The Sooner left halfback has grabbed eight for 167 yards.
Pricer Leads Punters Oklahoma's Billy Priceer kept the punting honors with nine averaging 48.7 yards. Busiest kicker still is Boyd Dowier of Colorado whose 26 efforts averaged 40.9, good for third on the list.
Dave Baker of OU and Billy Robinson of Kansas took over the 1-2 spots in punt returning. Baker has carried back four averaging 21.3 and Robinson three for 21.0.
Individual scoring honors were unchanged. Oklahoma's Thomas has 12 touchdowns for 72 points and McDonald 10 for 60. Bayuk follows with 42 points, Floyd has 36, and Hank Kuhlmann of Missouri has 31.
Other games this week find Oklahoma at Iowa State, Nebraska at Kansas, and Kansas State at Marquette. Oklahoma will be attempting to notch its 37th consecutive victory. OU has only Iowa State, Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma A&M standing between it and the second straight undefeated season.
