If the Jayhawkers feel especially frisky Saturday they can aim for the termination of another OU record. 119 games scored in.
A streak of 43 victories, an intercollegiate record, will be laid on the line Saturday, but few expect the Sooners to do anything but add number 44 at the expense of Kansas.
Kansas Last Conference Team To Defeat Oklahoma
In the last nine years KU-OU games have had an average score of 44.9 to 11.7. Last year the Jayhawkers surprised the Sooners with a 34-12 score, which knocked OU from first place in the national poll. Sooners in No 2 Spot
This year the Sooners slipped from the top position a week earlier, as a result of their come-from-behind 21-7 victory over Texas, considered by the sportswriters not to have been a performance worthy of the number one team.
The last time Oklahoma University lost a Big Seven football game it was our own Jayhawkers who turned the trick as halfback Ray Evans kicked a field goal to give KU a 16-13 victory in 1946.
Since that memorable day the mighty Sooners have played 60 consecutive Big Seven games without a loss. The modern-day Sooners have only two ties to mar this record; KU held the Big Red to a 13-13 deadlock in 1947 and Nebraska tied OU in 1952.
Since KU shared the conference title with Oklahoma in 1946 and 1947, Coach Bud Wilkinson has guided his teams to nine consecutive undisputed conference championships.
SAN FRANCISCO, —(UP)— Bill Rigney, after signing a new two-year contract as manager of the San Francisco Giants, said today he hoped to get the club into the first division in their initial venture on the Pacific Coast.
"Im counting on two things," said Rigney. "One is that the fan enthusiast we expect from San Francisco people will be contagious and install a new spirit into our club, such as happened at Milwaukee; and the other is our hope to land at least one more good, solid ball player."
Michigan State holds down the top spot this week. The Sooners
are so eager to regain their customary perch that they may not even notice how high a score they run up Saturday.
The pessimistic Mr. Wilkinson has to have something to worry about, so he can be reminded that KU has thus far this year maintained an up-down cycle and Saturday it's time to go up.
In the season opener the Jayhawkers surprised Texas Christian's Cotton Bowl champions with a 13-13 tie, then stumbled and fell in the path of Oregon State 34-6, came back strong to defeat Colorado 35-34 and then fumbled away their second Big Eight contest, 21-6 to Iowa State.
KU Has Up-Down Cycle
The worst defeat ever suffered by KU at the hands of the Sooners was a 65-0 rout in 1954. If we care to dream, Kansas once defeated Oklahoma 34-0, in 1905. In the series Kansas has won 19, lost 30 and tied 5.
