Oklahoma is the defending national champ.

The Sooner-Husker tilt will probably start at noon, being the first part of a doubleheader. Change in dates may also interfere with depature dates for Hawaii by Nil fans. The game at Hawaii is set for Dec. 4. Top to reports, the Muhammad Ali-Richard Dunn title bout Monday night attracted 58,5000,000 television viewers.

NBC says this a record for home TV watchers. The previous boxing TV audience mark was the All- Ron Lyle match seen by 54,800,000 on ABC last May.
