3 League Games On Big 8 Schedule
Two homecoming games and the always-interesting Colorado-Oklahoma game are on the Big Eight schedule this weekend
Iowa State entertains Kansas State at the Cyclone homecoming and Nebraska will be battling the homecoming spirit of the Missouri Tigers at Columbia. Kansas plays non-league foe Miami at Miami Friday night and Oklahoma State is idle.
No one expects Colorado to defeat Oklahoma, but the Buffers usually give the Sooners a rough time. Last year, in a game played at Boulder, Colorado led 19-0 before fading under the inevitable Sooner comeback, losing 27-19.
Colorado gets the pleasure of batt- tering against the brick wall known as the Oklahoma Sooners, but the Buffaloes are given a chance to at least make a dent in the powerful national leaders.
Colorado gets the pleasure of hatfield, incredibly smooth air ride. Chevrolet will introduce two new luxury models of outstanding style and distinction.
Built's Average 432 Yards The Buffaloes have averaged 33 yards rushing per game this season, and averaged 432 yards per game in total offense. Bob Stransky, Buff tailback is second in the nation in scoring with 51 points.
Regardless of these impressive offensive accomplishments by the Buffs, Oklahoma should win its 45th straight game and its 62nd straight conference game on its way to consecutive conference championship number 10.
Buffs Average 432 Yards
Colorado took over first place in the nation in rushing offense and third place in total offense this week, after defeating Kansas State 35-14 last Saturday.
The game in Norman will be telecast regionally. Television station WIBW-TV in Topeka will carry the game.
Missouri, which seems to have the inside track to the second place spot in the conference, will go after conference victory number two against Nebraska Saturday, after a surprisingly easy 35-13 victory over Iowa State last week.
Nebraska is also undefeated in conference play, having beaten Kansas State 14-7 in its only conference encounter. The Cornishusers are only 1-4-1 for the year, however, and Missouri has been tabbed the favorite.
Nebraska, plagued by injuries and illness, will probably still not be at full strength. Quarterback Charley Smith and end Clarence Cook are expected to miss Saturday's game.
Nebraska Has Injuries
Kansas State, still in search of a conference victory after losing two, goes to Iowa State in hopes of spoiling the Cyclone homecoming. Iowa State will try to bounce back from last week's loss to Missouri, after opening conference play with a loss to Oklahoma and victory over Kansas.
Kansas State coach Bus Mertes has jugged his backfield looking for a winning combination. Les Krull, junior quarterback, was moved up to the first unit. Craig Jones, former reserve end, was shifted to fullback. On the doubtful list due to injuries suffered in the Colorado game are halfback Gene Keady and fullback Ray Glaze. Halkback Ben Grosse returned to the squad in midweek after a short layout with an injury.
Nichols has gained 333 yards in 96 carries this year and completed 23 of 43 passes for 284 yards. He has scored 24 points.
Iowa State is also bothered with injuries and will be seriously affected if their ace, Dwight Nichols, is not sufficiently recovered from a wrist injury.
Weather Affects Practices
Bad weather forced most Big Eight schools indoors for practice drills sometime during the week, but Iowa State coach Jim Myers let his team run through drills in the mud, to prepare them for a possible muddy-field contest Saturday if the weather doesn't clear up.
Things are back to normal in the Big Eight this week, with Oklahoma holding down the top spot in the nation. The Sooners are 2-0, with victories over Iowa State and Kansas.
Tri Delts Defeat Chi Omega, 23-18
Delta Delta Delta sorority defeated Chi Omega sorority 23-18 Thursday in a women's intramural basketball game. Kay Rodrick led the Tri-Delt scoring with 15 points. Molly Godwin was outstanding for the Tri-Delt while Mickie Gibson and Suzanne Wallingford played well for the Chi Omegas.
In other games played Thursday Delta Gamma sorority defeated Alpha Delta Pi sorority 22-12, Watkins Hall defeated Gamma Phi Beta sorority 22-20, and Alpha Chi Omega sorority defeated Douthart Hall 25-15.
Clandon Thomas, Oklahoma right halfback, was national scoring leader in 1956. Notre Dame coach Terry Brennan said, "Thomas is the best halfback we saw in 1956."

LOS ANGELES—(UP)—The Los Angeles Dodgers were on record today as the team that's out to win the National League pennant next year.
Alston. Reese Sign Contracts
Dodger Vice President E. J. (Buzzy) Bavasi announced at the club's first press conference in its new home yesterday that Walt Alston had been signed for his fifth year as Dodger Manager and short-stop-captain Peewee Reese accepted his 16th contract with the team.
Bavasi, who was questioned about the possibility that Alston and Reese had received a salary boost for the '58 season, told newsmen. "We don't give raises when we don't win." The indication was that both men had signed for around $25,000 cash.
"They will lead us to a National League pennant next year," Bavasi said proudly.
The spirited press conference was called only hours after the Dodgers had arrived in Los Angeles to set up their new headquarters. Dodger President Walter O'Malley was still in the midst of accepting the cheers and greeting of Los Angeles.
Bavasi said the Dodgers plan to revamp Wrigley Field for their temporary home until their 50,000 seat stadium in Chavez ravine can be built. The Field has been used in past years by the Dodger owned Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League.
KUOK To Air Freshman Game
Campus radio station KUOK will broadcast the Kansas-Kansas State freshman football game Saturday direct from Memorial Stadium, Charles Barnes, Mission senior and manager of station KUOK said Thursday.
Jerry Bailey, Humboldt, and Jack Hanslip, Kansas City, Mo., juniors will handle the play-by-play broadcast. The kickoff is set for 2 p.m. with a pre-game run-down at 1:15 p.m.
