Richard Pratt
The 264 lb. junior guard, who is also an accomplished musician, was yesterday named Big Eight Lineman of the Week by sportswriters covering the Big Eight games Saturday.
Smiling Richard Pratt Changes on the Field
One of the few times Richard Pratt trades his congenial smile for a vicious scowl is when he is charging his opponent on the football field. Texas Christian University discovered that Saturday.
Pratt gave an outstanding performance in the KU line all afternoon, but gained national attention for his part in the next to last play of the game. With 30 seconds remaining, the giant guard pounced on a TCU fumble on the KU one-yard line to preserve the Jayhawks' 7-3 victory.
Playing opposite TCU's 245 lb. center, Ken Henson, Pratt opened several holes for the KU offense, and bolstered the defense with one unassisted tackle, six assists, and was responsible for another TCU fumble.
Oklahoma halfback Lance Rentzel, who caught John Hammond's game-winning 90-yard touchdown pass in the Sooners' 13-3 victory over Maryland, was named Big Eight Back of the Week.
With his teammates trailing 3-0 on a fourth-quarter field goal, Rentzel teamed with Hammon for the big play in the final five minutes of the game.
