Kurt Burris Aiding Sooners In All American Hopes
OU star Kurt Burris, 6-1 200, chosen as cover boy for the 1954 NCAA football guide, is a leading Sooner candidate for All American honors. His brother Bob Burris starts at fullback, while Oklahoma's 1953 season featured Burris’s standout defense in the Orange Bowl win over Maryland. Coaches’ Boomer poll favors Lawton, Chickasha, Ardmore, Duncan, and El Reno for the coming season, with Ardmore expected to challenge Lawton’s backfield speed and line strength.
