Colorado, knocked from the unbeaten ranks last week by Utah, will be smarting to make a good showing to impress Orange Bowl officials.

These Miamians are not bound to take the league champion to the New Year's Day extravaganza and Kansas has moved into the picture, despite an early season 20-19 loss to the Buffs. This Colorado team is big, bigger than Nebraska's king-sized eleven. In the line Is guard Joe Ro-mlg, everybody's AIl-Ameri-can last year and the scourge of the league's of femes. He's darned sear impossible to handle from his llae backing position. There's also end Jerry Hille-brand, a 235-pound, 64 end who was all-conference last year.

He's si great pass receiver and also can kick field pnals He booted one 54 vards against Oklahoma State this yearrh In the backfield the Buffs are loaded. They have Weidner, the best passer in the league, along with Olympian Teddy Woods and Leon Mavity at halfbacks and Loren Schweninger at fullback. Nebraska, on the other hand, played one of its best games last week and should be primed for another fine showing. Bill Thornton will probably stay at fullback to continue his line blasting that has him second only to Iowa State's Dave Hoppmann in the Big 8. Dennis Claridge, steadily-improving quarterback, will run, the showjvith a fleet of capable backs including Dick Callahan, Dennis Stuewe, Willie Ross and Rudy Johnson.

Most experts have established the Huskers as the underdog from one to two touchdowns. The condition of the field may have a lot to do with the-outcome. Jennings says "it won't be particularly to our advantage. iv creates more breaks and more unknown phases to me game." Jennings says NU will use passes to combat the Buffalo aerials.

There were reports that a representative of the Davenport baseball team would at tend the meeting. Davenport attempted to join the league last year but was unable to withdraw from the Midwest League. The Midwest League will hold its annual meeting Sun day at Davenport.

First, string right halfback Pete King also is expected to nlav after missing the William and Mary game with a bad knee. But Wilkinson's Oklahoma club utilizes the v.AHp open split as its basic ftfrmation and that's an offense Army hasn't seen this season. Half backs Mike McClellan and Jimmy Carpenter, quarter backs Bob Page and Bill Van Burkleo and fullbacks Richard Beattle and Phil Loh- mann are the Sooners' leading numbers on attack.

Oklahoma goes into the game with one serious im pairment, Billy White's ankle injury. The rugged tackle, team captain and No. 1 Sooner star, missed the Missouri game and still is slowed down; Xf my Oklahoma have split, in their two previous both played at the Sooners' home field.

Seymour said one member of his high-powered front line of Pettit, Lovellette and Hagan he didn't say which one-came to him and said Hill Special to The Journal Cedar Rapids, la. The troubled Three-I Baseball League met here Friday to begin "preparations for the 1962., season. Every club indicated It has intentions of operating in 1962 with limiting factors in all cases except Cedar Rapids.

Des Moines' representatives brought gloomy news. They were turned down la a bid for outright ownership by the New York Mets, new club in the National League. The Demons will be represented at the national conven tion in Tampa, at the end of the month, however. Vaulx Risser, executive vice president, was representing the Lincoln Chiefs at the meeting. Club directors were ex- pectedLto discuss Jtwopro- posals to keep the -Class-B league in operation.

One would call for reorgan ization with another' league. probably either the Class Midwest League or the Class Northern League. The other remedy would be to find new sponsors for teams and keep the present clubs which Cedar Rap ids, Des Moines and Burling ton, Lincoln; Topeka, Kan. and Fox. Cities, Wis.

About 35,000 are expected. The Sooners, who topplpd from their Big Eight Confer ence pinnacle last year, nosedived completely this fall by starting off with 5 straight defeats for the school's longest losing string. But they've rebounded the past two Saturdays with a 47t8 victory over -Kansas-Stote and a 7-0 upset of Missouri.

This is not to indicate-scholastic standards should be lowered. But there are ways in which the administration could be of a big service Primarily, it's a matter of class scheduling. No concessions-are made to football playeTS. Therefore, it is virtually impossible for the team to practice as a unit very often.

Football either are late to practice or miss practice "because- ornate" oratory sessions, IJOTC, section tests, late classes, night classes, even aoon classes. Players come and go at practices. They never all get all the preparation for a game. There is never much chance for new things by the team, once school is under way. Many players have class until.

Kerner said he would de- cide on Seymour's replacement as coach of the 5-time WesternDivision champions "maybe next week or at a later date." Seymour got the ax shortly after he and Kerner held a conference in Kerner's office to go over tiieir clash Wednes- day night over Seymour's remark in Detroit, that tire team was on the trading block. Kerner heard about the statement and fired back the same night that he was the, only one authorized to talk trades and "let's Just say they are no longer en the market." Maris sent a league leading 142 scampering across the plate, compared 'with 128 for Mantle, and hit 61 home runs compared with 54 for Mickey, Voters aside, I'd wager fat odds that if you poll the owners they'd say that financially Roger was the most valuable because of the manner in which he packed the while in quest of Babe Ruth's record. Maris victory even has been attributed, in a round-' about across the land. Considering that the Yankees have won the Most Valuable Player award in 6 of the last 8 years, those guys are pretty poor haters.

la this connection, all you have to go is gd bacl to 1947 when Joe DLMaggio beat out Ted Williams for the MVP runner named Harry S. Truman won a race, which still ranks today with sporting upsets as -Man O'War's lone defeat and a Shirley Temple knockout over Jack the Ripper. The bookies didn't, think he had a chance. Even now, 13 years later, there are some hard-headed forecasters who Insist that the voters didn't know what they were doing. Just like now, on the heels of Roger Marls' election as the American League's Most Valuable Player for the second year ta a row.

Maris was selected by 20 voters-two from each city in the American League. There were 14 points Jor-a first place vote, 9 for second place and so on down the Maris, with 7 first place votes to 6 for teammate Mickey Mantle, won by 202 to 138. The result has caused the usual storm of inky protest in the public prints. Questioning the sanity as well as the sanctity' of the voters, there art those who object strenuously to the oauoi any way ne personally sees fit. Some of the questions leveled at the men who did the voting concerns such thoughts as why Maris was placed no better than 5th in one case; why Mantle was dropped to 5th by another; why Norm Cash of Detroit, the American League batting champion, trailed Baltic fnore's Jim Gentile, who4 finished 3rd; and how in the name of unstuffed ballot boxes did Gentile get 5 first place 1 Probing like a nearsighted surgeon working by flashlight, it would be assumed here that the one guy who picked Maris 5th possibly thought that's where he belonged.

It's Just possible that the others voted the way they did becjmse that's toe. way. they felt, too. The rumble over Maris beating out Mantle is based on the fact andor theory that Mickey Is the real leader of the team and hatted .317 compared with Roger's .289.
