Cameron Aggies edge toward 1955 state title in messy conference race

Bud Wilkinson Warns Of Missouri Threat To Sooners
Oklahoma coach Bud Wilkinson fears Missouri quarterback Jimmy Hunter, who led Missouri past Colorado, could pose the toughest test for Oklahoma this season. Wilkinson predicts Missouri may be the best team faced, ahead of Pittsburgh, as the Sooners travel to Columbia for a Big Seven game. He notes Missouri's potential rise with Hunter and cites Kansas State miscues in Oklahoma's 40-7 win as a factor in the early-season surge.

Wes Santee Appeals Track Suspension Ahead of 1956 Olympics
Wes Santee, the 23 year old U S mile champion stationed with the Marines at Quantico, filed an official appeal of his indefinite suspension by the Missouri Valley AAU for excessive travel expenses. He faces possible exclusion from the 1956 Olympic Games and plans further appeals to the national AAU if needed. The suspension forced him to withdraw from the Quantico cross country meet with Villanova and could lead to cancellation of Quantico’s remaining schedule.
