Schweninger carried 8 times in succession to reach the Kansas State one, ancl halfback Ted Woods cracked over left tackle for the score, kick for the extra point was no good. The second Colorado touchdown came on a 49-yard drive in the fourth quarter, with Harris slanting off right, tackle for the final five HOlebrand kicked the extra point, to make the score 13-0.

Versatile John Hadl, switching with ease from quarterback to halfback, led Kansas to a 10-0 victory over Oklahoma Saturday, ending 15 years of Sooner football domination. Hadl hit Laray Allen with a 30-yard scoring pass in the second quarter to cap an 80- yard drive. Wallace Barnes added a 35-yard field goal in the third quarter for a bit of icing. last victory over the Sooners was a 16-13 decision in 1946.

The Jayhawks earned ties in 1947 and both by 13-13 scores. Tiie victory kept Kansas in the thick of the Big Eight Conference race and with this, 4th straight licking of the season Oklahoma could just: about forget any last-minute miracles in the championship contention. scoring drive began after most serioifs threat of the game ended in an unsuccessful field goal attempt. The Sooners had brought the Day crowd of 57,000 to its feet when 3rd string halfback Paul Lea gathered in a Hadl punt on the Oklahoma 45 and returned it 52 yards to 13. When the Sooners crack a tough Jayhawker defense.

guard Karl tried the field goal from the 15 but failed to make it. Kansas, with Hadl and Rodger McFariand alternating between left half and quarterback, promptly came down the field to 9 plays. Fullback Ken Coleman picked up 22 yards on 4 carries during the drive, then Hadi connected with Allen on the Sooner 10 and Allen won a battle with 3 Oklahoma defenders for the remaining distance. extra point try was perfect. Kansas had complete control of the game as the big mobile Jayhawk line easily I blunted running attack and kept constant pressure on Sooner passers.

Dave Hoppmann, and virtually dropped Cyclones from the Big Eight Conference football race 13-7 Saturday. The undefeated but once tied Tigers, defending champions of the Big Eight, smashed 63 yards for a touchdown the first time thev had the ball. Third team fullback Paul Underhill, elevated to a starting role because of injuries, scored on a 12-yard run through a hole in the middle of the Iowa State line in the opening minutes of the game, seen by a record crowd of 22,000. Missouri, in winning its second conference game, intercepted a Hoppmann pass in the third quarter and converted the opportunity into a 13-0 lead.

But the Cyclones, now 2-2 in the Big Eight, went 61 yards after the ensuing kickoff to avoid a shutout. Hoppmann passed 3 times to end Larry Montre for 21, 18 and 21 yards. The last passing effort of the 7-play drive resulted in the touchdown. Missouri, playing without first team quarterback Ron Taylor and fullback Andy Russell, relied on its crushing defense and plodding T-formation offense. Roger Phillips, a third team guard, started Missouri to its winning touchdown by plucking pass, intended for Jim Clapper, on the Iowa State 39.

The Tigers, who disdained the forward pass in the first half, then took to the air. On the second Missouri pass of the game, Mike Hunter hit Carl Crawford, who made a diving catch in the end zone. The play covered 11 yards. Bill Tobin, only two-point- after-touchdown kicks short of the conference record of 29, missed after the first score when his boot was low and was blocked by Jon Spellman of Iowa State. But made his second kick.

Hoppmann, one of the na' total offense leaders, was held to a net 16 yards rushing, and wras credited with all the passing yardage.
