Waldorf Is Lucky Oklahoma Faces Slow Start Pattern
RMAN Okla Aug 19 Oklahoma, rising in national circles, begins two-a-day drills Aug 30 at Owen Field ahead of a Sept 18 opener at California. Bud Wilkinson’s Sooners bring 20 lettermen from the 1954 Orange Bowl squad but several top backs and linemen are returning from injuries. The team must adjust to replacing key players and improving start times after a history of slow opening games. Wilkinson claims the idle period dulls sharpness, with intense season pressure and a potential 81,000 crowd for the Berkeley telecast. The report notes strong veterans Carl Allison Max Boydston Joe Mobra and Kurt Burris plus rising sophomores shaping a balanced unit.
