The lopsided triumph provided some measure of satisfaction for Oklahoma after its opening 45-13 loss to Northwestern at Evanston, 111., last week and should restore some of the Sooners' lost prestige. The Sooners' manpower was just too much for the sophomore-laden Buffs whose main offense was the aerial thrusts of quarterback Gale Weidner. His consistent tosses enabled Colorado to mount several scoring threats but pass intercep- zone for the second touchdown. In the second quarter, Caldwell began connecting with Usry and the Cadets moved from their own 25 to a touchdown with Jim Connors plunging into the end zone.

"Not a helluva lot," is the way Walter Alston puts it. Walter, the manager of the Dodgers, probably wouldn't admit an advantage if the other team had to bat with warm licorice sticks. But he may have a point when he says the only possible advantage the Dodgers will have at home is their familiaritv with "that thing" the left-field screen. And, in his defense, it should be recorded that the Dodgers have knocked fewer balls over the screen in each of the past two seasons than their opponents. Alston admits, however, that there is some slight advantage in knowing how to play balls that bounce off the screen.

But that's as far as he'll go. "They can knock balls into it as well as we can," he says.
