Oklahoma is further badgered by the unpleasant fact that Texas boys, who once were eager to play for Wilkinson, are thinking twice about leaving home since Oklahoma started Negro Prentice Gautt at fullback in 1958 and 1959. What is more, the N.C.A.A. put Oklahoma on probation for an indefinite period this year for recruiting irregularities. But Oklahoma has not sinned alone in the eyes of the N.C.A.A. Last week Kansas was slapped with a year's probation after three players had mysteriously quit Texas colleges and showed up on the campus at Lawrence...
...Three. Out of this flurry of activity the Big Eight this season has produced at least three players who can butt heads with any in the nation: CJ For Iowa State, Tom Watkins is a lightweight Negro fullback (6 ft., 182 Ibs.) who can run the 100 in 9.8 and fill in at tailback in his team's oldfashioned, single-wing attack.

Yet fullback Tim Morgan has shown signs of becoming once again one of the League's most feared fullbacks, and captain Bill Driver, Feter Savage, and Bill King have provided increasingly effective aid from their halfback positions, Forbush and John Adams are at least adequate in the goal...
...Rand and Dave Clapp will flank hard at halfback, and John Kernochan will provide relief. Louie Williams, whom Getchell compares to former varsity great Lanny Keyes, will start at left fullback, and Nate Emmons will be at right. Varsity coach Bruce Munro reportedly has his eye firmly fixed on Williams...
