Statistics released by National Collegiate Sports Services Tuesday show Oklahoma with the second best total offense in the country and Nebraska with the No. 1 total defense. Oklahoma, ranked No. 3 in The Associated Press poll, averages 4S9.9 yards pc game on offense, while Nebraska has allowed a mere 208.4 yards per game.

He called Kearns win over Provo (six weeks earlier) The Great Mistake. , ; And you know what? title trauma. his obvious biases. 14-- 7 Untd the clock ran out believed the guy I despite Comparing the two on paper was the Great Mistake, simply because Kearns had but 12 seniors on its roster and played no less than eight juniors or sophs regularly. Ill admit this, too: I still think Trovo, Skyline, Viewmont, Olympus and Sky View had more ma' , terial to work with than Kearns. fourth-ranke- Figure it this way: Kearns won by getting the .most from available talent.

I didn't hear Germany phone the White House in 1948 and ask to replay World War II because it wasnt ready the first time. Bingham coach Roy Whitworth, proud possessor of Brucg Hardys gifted athletic tools, had a valid claim the other day. He said too many good teams were left from the Class playoffs. In the case of Region Five he is correct. Bingham and Cyprus sat in the stands and watched American Fork and Pleasant Grove bow badly to Davis and Judge, respectively. This was one year that either Bingham or Cyprus could have won Region Six. Yet both were unable to compete for the state grid gold. Too few teams were admitted to the state playoffs. Move is underway to add at least one more team from each of Class Regions.
