Nominations for 1951 board of directors candidates will be a part of the meeting. Walter Kiener of the state game commission will speak and show slides on fish biology. i while, goes the distinction of having spawned four of this year's Ail Americans.

They are Kyle Rote, Southern Methodist's smashing ballcarrier from San Antnio; Guard Bud McFadin of Texas, the lone holdover from last year's INS All America, from Iraan; and Army's End Dan Fold berg from Dallas and Tackle Charles Shira from Hamlin. Two other schools shared 'with Army the honor of winning two places on the 1950 team. They are Oklahoma, with Tackle Jim Weathall and Back Leon lLeath; and Kentucky, with Tackle Bob Gain and Back Yito Farilll. Farilli is the pass throwing standout in a backfield whose platoons, speaking in terms of offensive brilliance, are practically interchangeable. THE ONLY distinction drawn is that the four backs on the offensive side of the team saw no work on defense.

That is indicative of the existing age of football specialization which first brought about the necessity for a two platoon Ail America team in 1948. Similarly, while all four ends on this year's All America were brilliant pass receivers, Foldberg and Jim Doran of Iowa State were used strictly on offense. Not only the backs and end, hut the entire front wall of the 1950 team showed tremendous speed. ThU seemed year In which more and more coaches put a premium on fast getaways and hard, Incisive blocking. Geographically, the 1950 INS team represents 19 different schools, with the players hailing from 15 different states.

The Midlands area embracing the Big Seven and Missouri Valley conferences placed five players on the team; the East and South four each; the Midwest and Far West three each; the Southwest two; and the Rocky Mountain area one. MORE RECORDS fell at the hands of the eight All America backs than with any similar collection of ballcarrying talent in many years. The scoring of Nebraska Sophomore Bobby Reyn old; the rushing of Drake's Johnny Bright; the running of Heath and Rote; the breakaway antics of Sonny Grandelius of Michigan State; the brilliant versatility of Talboom and Ohio State's Vic Janowicz; and of course Parilli's passing, mark this a backfield that could play with any. Into Oklahoma territory. And.

at all times his generalship was superb. Reynolds. In piling up 23 points, swept his season total to 157 a new Americsn major collegiate scoring record. He picked up 89 yards agrdund to up his Big Seven rushing mark to 1,349 and Oklahoma found him a dire threat every time he touched the pigskin. OKLAHOMA struck for 14 points in the first five minutes before the Huskers could recover iposure.

Bill Glassford's soph dominated squad, fighting a veteran team, never folded. On the wings of Reynolds awesome brilliance, the Husker stormed back for lnre louen downs and briefly led the nation's top team, 21 14. Pure Oklahoma miiiht then broke the shackles of all the hear! and endurance the Huskers could muster as Sooner lightning struck for two touchdowns in the first five minutes of the second half. That would seem to settle any team, but the Huskers kept plugging and wound up with 35 points, a higher total than Sooner from scrimmage by Oklahoma against Nebraska 69 yards by Vessels, 2. The most yards rushing by a Sooner against a Nebraska team 208 by Vessels.

AS FOR Reynolds, he was terrific. After the game the Oklahoma players and coaches were loud in praise of him. Sports writers sang his praises and many telegrams were sent to New York, recommending him for All America teams. Bobby was absolutely amazing the first half, scoring all 21 points for the halftime score, lie completely out maneuvered the Sooner secondary on many occasions. His many scampers down "Reynolds alley" around right end brought the entire crowd to its feet.

AFTER the game Glassford greeted each player at the dressing ruom door. He hud praise for every one of his men. Typical was his praise to St ERRORS, Page 6 Bt Col 1 BY NORRIS ANDERSON OWEN FIELD, Norman, Okl. The tread of Oklahoma's magnificent marching machine struck down a gallunt gang of Nebraska Cornhuskers, 49 35, here Saturday before a record Big Seven crowd of 54,000 frenzied onlookers. Scenting a certain bowl bid, a third straight Big Seven title and their 30th consecutive victory, the indomitable Sooners swung from the heels in the second half and knocked out whatever hopes nourished in the hearts of 5,000 Nebraska partisans in the audience.

OKLAHOMA triumphed this thrill soaked day, to be true, but it was the Huskers who trotted off the field, chins high with the nation's press mightly impressed and the Cornhusker state contingent satisfied. They had seen the Huskers outdown the Sooners, No. 1 team in the nation, 20 18. They had seen the fiery Scarlet run and pass to 329 yards, by far the highest yardage amassed by a Sooner foe this season. Thrilled to the core, they watched a hair raising uprising Errors BY DICK BECKER OWEN FIELD, Norman, Okl.

Coach Bud Wilkinson has the bowl pickers in the palm of his hand. Following Oklahoma's 49 35 triumph over Nebraska Saturday, the Sooners had little competition left as the Nation's No, 1 gridiron machine. Wilkinson announced that Oklahoma "would not even consider any bowl bids until after the season's finale against Oklahoma A. and M. next Saturday." Machine" is the best word to describe this powerful Sooner aggregation.

Speed, heft and depth mainly are the prime factors in this ball club. BL'T TO Nebraska Coach Bill Glassford, the Sooners were not invincible. Bill quietly said after the game: "We fumbled away several chances and gave the opposition a couple of opportunities they shouldn't have had. "Oklahoma is a great football team, well coached with ft lot of Lost CameBill Badgers Hit Gophers, 14 0 fine personnel. All of our boys did a magnificent Job.

They worked hard all year long. It's too bad they couldn't have won the game." But Bill did not seek sympathy. Well wishers were thanked and sent quickly on their wsy as the Husker mentor Inwardly lamented the defeat. "We didn't come down here to lose," he said. "There is no such thing as a moral victory." ALL AM ERICA pickers who pass up two great sophomores here Saturday must be bowing in shame.

Bobby Reynolds, the Husker hurricane, and Billy Vessels, Oklahoma's speed merchant, matched scoring and dipsy do running to the delight of the packed stadium. Reynold tallied three times, a job equalled by Vessels. Reynold also booted five extra points to bring his season scoring total to 157. an all time record for major colleges. Among other reeords set were; 1.

The longest run tver made MADISON, Wis. (UP). Wisconsin beat Minnesota 14 to 0 here Saturday, but lost its chance for a Rose Bowl trip at Columbus, where Michigan beat Ohio State. As it was, the Badgers tur prised everyone by ending the eason in a second place Big Ten tie with Ohio State, A SELLOUT crowd of 45,000 (at in 17 degree weather, prepared for an inspired Minnesota to give the Badgers the light of their lives. But the best the Gophers could do for retiring Coach Bernie Bierman was to come to life couple of times in the game.

The Badgers began to push Bierman's boys around in the second period, when they rolled 92 yards to touchdown. The climax came as Senior Bob Pe.
