National Spotlight Focused On OU-Notre Dame Clash
The spotlight will be focused on Norman, Oklahoma Saturday as the mighty Sooners take on the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in the highlight game of Big Eight play. It was just four years ago that Bud Wilkinson's boys lost their opening game to Notre Dame, 21-28. The next week the Sooners tied Pittsburgh, 7-7, then started a string of victories that now number 47. It is this string that Teirry Brennan's Irish will be trying to cut.
The game, which has been sold out since last May, will be televised nationally.
The upset-minded Irish could prove a little too much for the Sooners. The Irish came from a 7-21 deficit to win their game with Army, 23-21. This was Army's only loss of the year. It was after this game that one of the Notre Dame players, halfback Aubrey Lewis said, "We wanted to win this one but the one we really want is Oklahoma. We're going to stop them, too. We can do it, you'll see."
Both teams are expected to be in good phiscal trim although the Irish have two centers under par.
Irish Won First Four
The Irish, after winning their first four games, have lost their last two.
In the only other game in non-conference circles, Iowa State will meet South Dakota University in the Cyclones' last home game.
The Cyclones need a victory Saturday to bring their 3-4-1 record up to the .500 mark. Their only remaining game will be with Colorado at
Boulder a week from tomorrow.
Kansas State makes a frantic attempt to escape the Big Eight cellar Saturday when it meets the Missouri Tigers at Columbia. The Wildcats have a 4-1 record at present in conference play. If they lose this game, it would give them a firm hold on the bottom rung of the Big Eight ladder as this will be their last game with a Big Eight foe.
With the play shown the past two weeks, 13-0 loss to Oklahoma and 13-7 loss to Kansas, it looks like the Wildcats will spell trouble for their remaining opponents.
Tigers Seek Second
The Tigers, on the other hand, will be wanting a victory badly in order to solidify second place in the Big Eight. If the Tigers win their game tomorrow a victory over KU the following week would give them uncontested second place. If they lose tomorrow, the KU game would decide whether they take third (if they lose) or tie for second (if they win).
Colorado and Nebraska will be trying to salvage a little from their 1957 season as they meet in Lincoln.
The Buffaloes are closing a season that doesn't live up to what they'd expected earlier in the year. The Buffs were expected to finish in the same spot they held at the end of last year, second. Instead, last year's Orange Bowl champs now have a 1-3 record in conference play. By winning their two remaining games, they could end up in a tie for third.
Writer Predicts OU-Duke In Orange Bowl
In Saturday games vital to the bowl picture, Iowa is a one-point favorite over Ohio State, Oregon seven over Southern California,
If long-range odds hold up, New Year's day will find Ohio State vs. Oregon in the Rose Bowl, Oklahoma vs. Duke in the Orange Bowl, Texas A&M vs. Army or Navy in the Cotton Bowl and any combination of teams from south of the Mason-Dixon line in the Sugar and Gator Bowls.
By FRANK LITSKY (UP Sports Writer)
Oklahoma, the only team already assured of a bowl trip, steps outside the Big Eight Saturday and is favored by 18 points over Notre Dame in a game to be televised nationally.
Duke seven over Clemson, Texas A&M seven over Rice and Tennessee seven over Mississippi.
While the Ohio State-Iowa battle will crown the Big Ten champion, Iowa is barred from the Rose Bowl because it made the trip last New Year's. That means Ohio State can make the run for the Roses with a victory over Iowa or Michigan, its opponent next week. Similarly, Oregon needs only one victory in its remaining games with Southern Cal or Oregon State for its first Rose Bowl appearance since 1920.
Duke is in the same boat, needing only a win over Clemson or next Saturday's foe, North Carolina.
beating Rice. The Cotton Bowl committee is believed to be leaning toward the winner of the Nov. 30 Army-Navy classic for the visiting team.
Kansas basketball teams have won 90 games and lost 44 with the Kansas State Wildcats.
