Colorado Buffs May Give
Oklahoma Biqqest Scare
By JERE COX
Kansas City, Mo. -(CPU-Oklahoma,
returning three start
ers plus all but one of its po
tent second unit, remains a
national power but may get
its biggest scare in 11 Big
Eight conference season from
Colorado.
The Buffs are loaded and
cries of "this is the year" for
a Colorado victory have been
-from" Krth pamiu '
Coach Dallas Ward as 19
lettermen including six start
ers returning at Colorado in
a big push to end Oklahoma's
10-year dominance of the
Big Eight. The time and place
to look for one of the upsets
of the season is Nov. 1 at
Boulder when the Buffs en
tertain the Sooners.
The dark horse of Midlands
football in 1959 are Missouri
and Kansas, both under the
guidance of new coaches
whose past records , sparkle
with success.
Have Sad Tales
Dan Devine will be hamp
ered at Missouri by the lack
of a talented quarterback to
run his multiple offense and
Jack Mitchell at Kansas may
not yet have the speed to get
the full effect of his sliding
T.
Coaches Bus Mertes of Kan
sas State, Clay Stapleton of
Iowa State and Bill Jennings
of Nebraska all tell the same
sad tale-too many sopho
mores, not enough experience
and lack of depth.
Coach Cliff Speegle at Ok
lahoma State may field his
best team in four years, but
his Cowboys are not eligible
to compete for the title until
1960.
The University of Houston
simply has too much power
for its four foes in the Mis
souri Valley conference and
should romp to a second
straight title. North Texas
State likewise is rated to re
peat as runner-up, closely fol
lowed by Tulsa and Cincin

Newman Is Key
His chances for a banner
season rest largely on the
arm of quarterback Bob New
man, who completed 104 pass
attempts last year and was the
nation's total offense leader.
The all-coast aerial artist will
have three prime targets -all

Fanning and Bill Steiger.

touchdowns to make him the
national leader in that de
partment. Steiger laid out last
season because of an injury
but was high among All-America
selections for 1956.
Running Atiack Needed
Sutherland has been work
ing on the Cougar ground
game to make it more effec
tive. It was so lightly regard
ed last year that some oppon
ents virtually ignored it and
threw a four-man line at the
WSC passing attack.
Besides Newman, the best
backs are scatback Carl Ket
chie and fullback Ed Stevens.
Laroy Rath also is a bright
prospect. There may be help
both in the line and back
field from untested sopho
mores or transfers.
The line has plenty of vet
eran strength but Sutherland
hopes to improve the quality
of his depth.
The best lettermen are
tackles Ray Blier, 212 pounds,
Dan Verhey, 215, Vel West,
215 'and Al Williamston, 205;
guards Angelo Brovelli, 215;
Dick Farrar, 205; and George
Sontnis, 205, and center Merl
Hitzel, 205.
If the Cougar defense im
proves, Sutherland will be a
tough contender. This is his
third year here and he is
shooting the works after two
campaigns of successful re
