The Cowboys give you a lot of different looks in their uniforms as well. With orange, black and white jerseys and orange and white pants Oklahoma State will sport six different come game time.

Although defeated Oklahoma State eight straight times, most of the verdicts have been in doubt until the final quarter. Floyd Gass, named Big Eight Coach of the Year in 1969 for revitalizing the Cowboys, says of his club, not going to outhorse anybody. more the gambling Gass has some tools to gamble with in a pro-type attack triggered by a slender Texan, Tony Pounds.

Until Gass entered the running last winter Tony was about to make a choice between North Texas State, New Mexico State or Sul Ross. It take Pounds long to prove he was worth his weight in footballs once he got acquainted at Oklahoma State, however.

The Cowboys huge defensively, but they have a veteran crew of linebackers and deep defenders.

The tenacious cast is headed by end3 Joe Coyle and Don Geier, linebackers Barty Chappell, Joe Crews and Steve Farris and backs John Gates and Tom Carraway.
