Negro May Be Sooner Starter At Oklahoma
Norman, Okla. Prentice Gautt, a 19-year-old sophomore from Oklahoma City, could start in the Sooners backfield replacing All-American Tommy McDonald if pre-season showings hold. He discusses learning defense, defying the color barrier, and his confidence to play three more seasons. Gautt starred at Douglass High School, led a 43-game win streak, and came to OU without a scholarship or prior defensive experience. His path was aided by Oklahoma City Negro businessmen.
