A Missouri Noses Out O. K. U. and Kansas State Beaten KICKING DECIDES GAME AS MISSOURI PASSING IS FUTILE Orf Blocks Punt and Extra Point Wins Game as Favor Misses His KING IS KICKING ACE By GAYLE TALBOT COLUMBIA, Nov. -The fighting Missouri Tigers removed Oklahoma from the list the nation's undefeated teams and established themselves as prime "bowl" material with a surprising to 6 defending Big sKictorampions 'before 26,000 in Memorial stadium The victory, todayring the Tigers crown, was printasily scored on the recovery of blocked punt in third period of a bruising contest.

Bob Orf, ed Tiger end, stepped Oklahoma goal line after catching the ball that had bounced 30 feet in the air. Ronald King, a reserve back and outstanding player on the field for the day, placekicked the point. Oklahoma, scrapping back fiercely, drove 71 yards for its touchdown the final period and twice again threatened the game out of the fire. But a missed placement try for extra point by Dick Favor proved fatal to their national championship aspirations, Paul Christman, Missouri's allAmerica candidate, was just another ball player in this game. He spent much of the muddy afternoon sitting on the seat of his pants.

But while the Sooners were busy hamstringing the glamor boy they were taking a beating from his less famous teammates. Passing Paul Flops Missouri's vaunted aerial attack was a very minor factor in the upset victory. With Christman bottled. the Tigers gained only 39 yards by the pass route while was picking up 77 through inoklahoma, cluding a 15-yard toss for their score, The Tigers sprang a deceptive running game to pile up 157 yards on the ground to Oklahoma's 148. Bob Seymour and Beryl Clark, the Sooners' ball carrying aces, could sustain a march through the inspired Missouri defense, and seven of the Sooners' 12 first downs were manufactured by a second string backfield.

Missouri gained seven first downs. While 'he competed a number of piddling passes, Christman's best contribution was a pretty 15-yard run in the second quarter. In the final minutes of the game he committed a fumble that might have proved disastrous, Oklahoma recovering on. the 42-yard line, and plunging through to the before Missouri braced and held. Punting Beats 0.

U. The punting of King, a sopho- more, caused Oklahoma's downfall. Taking over the kicking in the third period, he pushed the Sooners back to their goal line and kept them there until the big break came. He was the hero of the Mizzou campus tonight. Standing on his own 40-yard mark, King got off tremendous boot that bounced out on Oklahoma's six-yard stripe, and the stage was set.

Clark went far back into his end zone to make the vital kick but he was an eye-wink late in his foot to the leather, and it struck both Charles Moser, center, and Bob Orf, end of the charging Missouri line. Straight up it soared while players of both teams scrambled beneath. Three or four leaped for the precious pellet, and Orf got it. One jump took him over the line as the Missouri homecoming crowd raised roar. Only one other time did the Tigers threaten.

That was in the second when Bill Cunthrough the after faking ningham, their fleet, fullback, broke pass to Christman and raced 60 yards to Oklahoma's 14 before he was knocked out of bounds, M. U. Threatens Again A pass carried Missouri to the 10, but they got no further through the husky Sooners. Oklahoma missed a scoring opportunity in opening minutes of the second period, when a 42- yard drive piled up on Missouri's four-yard mark. Seymour and Clark took four belts at the Missouri center for a gain of only eight yards.

The second guessers were saying they should have tried for a placement. They, finally did make a fainthearted stab at a field goal when less than five minutes remained of the game. Seymour, attempted to hold on Missouri 31, but fumbled the ball and Favor didn't have a chance. Jack Jacobs, Indian back, sparked Oklahoma's futile touchdown drive. He started it with a 16-yard sweep of a Missouri wing, and with help from John Martin and Munsey plugged somes, out four straight first downs to Missouri's 18.

Then, after picking up five yards on first down, he caught the Tigers napping with a beautiful heave into the end zone that Munsey fell. Favor, trying tying captured on his finger-tips. as he point, got off a weak effort that went both low and wide, and the Oklahomans were cooked. When they made their final college try only three minutes remained on the board. Jacobs, starting from his own 30, ripped off 17 yards and then passed to Seymour for 18 more.

Twenty-six thousand persons came to a damp stadium today to see Paul Christman of Missouri, and Beryl Clark of Oklahoma, engage in a pitching Twenty-six thousand persons today saw Ronald King, a sophomore and a substitute, defeat the mighty Sooners with the oldest weapon in football times in and the deadly, third punting. period his punts dropped within the 20- yard line. And the last one brought the break that meant the Missouri touchdown. Then he calmly kicked the extra point that meant the victory. Oklahoma did its Christman stopping early-but there is no defense for a punt that rolls out of bounds on the two yarder.

Missouri meant business from the outset. On the kickoff Dick Favor, the best of Oklahoma's blocking backs, was injured. In the second quarter mighty Bob Seymour was taken from then game after taking a severe blow the head. Seymour was hurt at the start but not until he fumbled twice in a row did Coach Tom Stidham suspect it. The blow made it impossible for him to focus his eyes and also accounted, in part, for his missing the pass from center on Favor's try for point that would meant a tie.

the What game? was "Hey, Christman's coach. first do we saying have after the blond leaned a back against the dresspractice Monday," negative response and ing room wall and smiled. "What a day, what a day." Coach Tom Stidham jumped all the way from his bench to the sidelines in one lean when an Oklahoma lad fumbled and Missouri recovered. miscue came after whistle and the ball went back to the Sooners and Stidham back to the bench.

The previous time he wore it Nebraska tied the Sooners. It was the first conference defeat for the Oklahomans since Kansas turned the trick in game of the 1937 season, 6 to 3. Before the game, the rival coaches were discussing mechanics of the game and how much wiping of the wet ball should be the allowed.

Then their talk drifted to flipping of the coin and Faurot turned to Stidham with "you are the guest here Tom. want." we The will give you anything you reply: "OK. Don. I'll take a one point victory and we will call the game off." After the game: Don Faurot. coach of 1 Missouri: "That was the toughest game ever saw played.

The Missouri line was marvelous and King's kicking superb." As he talked he hugged the embarrassed Moser, the lad who blocked the kick. Tim Stigham of Oklahoma: "What can you do when: a fellow kicks like that King did. I am mighty proud of that second team of mine which made the 71-yard touchdown but during rained the before contest and the after only the moisture game was a heavy mist. Missouri only has to defeat Kansas in their traditional game Saturday to win the conference championship. The Tigers haven't won a title since the Big Six was established and their last championship year was 1927 when they competed in the Missouri Valley circuit.

Christman has sparkled more brilliantly on the offense than he did today but his batting down of a desperate Oklahoma saving in the final seconds was a gamedefensive move.

U. By JOHN CAMPBELL PITTSBURGH, Nov. The victory-hungry Nebraska Cornhuskers checked a furious fourth quarter attack and shucked the Pitt Panthers today 14-13 for their second decision since 1921. Two sophomores, Fullback Vike Francis and his understudy Henry Rohn, carried the mail for Nebraska as the Cornhuskers throttled Edgar (Special Delivery) Jones and his mates. The two Nebraskans scored their first collegiate touchdowns, Rohn in the second period and Francis midway in the third.

Herman (Roaring) Rohrig and George Knight, both halfbacks, provided the winning margin, each kicking a placement. Francis broke away for a spectacular 22-yard dash after Nebraska recovered a Pitt fumble and outran Jones into the end zone. Rohn plunged over from the Pitt one yard line for his score. The game marked the final home a appearance of Richard "Dandy Dick" Cassiano who, with Harold Klein, was co-captain today. Cassiano got a thunderous ovation when he came in midway in the fourth quarter.

But the Nebraskans with victory in sight, held the ball for six minutes and as the game ended on the Pitt 26. For the injury-riddled Panthers Kracum, Bob Thurbon, of George, and Jones were outstanding. Kracum tossed a 30-yard pass to Thurbon for the first down in the second quarter and in the final quarter tossed to end John Stahl for a 45-yard gain. A few later Kracum crossed the goal standing, Joe up. Rettinger missed the first attempt at placement as Pitt's center sent back a low pass and Nebraska rushed through to smother the ball.

He made good on the second but it was too late. The Cornhuskers kept Pitt bottled up much of the game through the fine punting of Rohrig, while fumbles spoiled other Panther chances. Pitt' fumbled five times and Nebraska four, each recovering one enemy bobble. It was the 14th game of the intersectional series and the second win for Nebraska. Three games ended in 0-0 deadlocks.

The Creighton team marched 57 yards for a touchdown the first time the Bluejays got the ball and after that the game was a parade. Johnny Knolla, the Creighton left half, who two weeks ago led the nation's ground gainers, was the spark of the Creighton opening offensive, gaining 56 of the 57 yards Creighton traveled. Before the first half ended Knolla passed 11 yards to Fleming for a touchdown and later went six yards through the line for a third score to give Creighton a 20-to-0 lead. Two more Creighten touchdowns came in each of the last two periods. Tulsa Oilers Win Over Greyhounds TULSA, Nov.
