SWC Puts 3 in Top 10
Sooners Still Top
AP Gridiron Poll
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oklahoma, still on top of the college football world, comes
up to its big game this week—only this time it doesn’t look
so big.
After establishing a modern major college winning rec
ord with their 32nd straight victory—a 66-0 walkover against
Kansas State—the Sooners remained on top of The Associa
ted Press ranking poll of sports writers and broadcasters
by a comfortable but by no means unanimous margin.
It was Oklahoma 1,185 points and runner-up Michigan
State 1,065 on the usual basis of 10 points for each first-
place vote, nine for second, etc. No one else was even close
to these two. The Sooners drew- 76 of the 130 first-place

votes and Michigan State’s
Spartans got 32.
Next Saturday Oklahoma
encounters Texas in the an
nual game at Dallas. This is
traditionally one of the toughest
and most important of the year for
both teams. But Texas, soundly
beaten by Southern California, a
one-point winner over Tulane and
loser by the same margin to West
Virginia, doesn’t appear to have
the manpower to give the Sooners

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Roger Lindblom (left) discussing a construction job with J. R. Young, W ire Chief of Huron, S.D.
“I’m learning more every day-and like it”
Roger Lindblom, B.S. in General Engi
neering, Iowa State College, ’49, is today
District Plant Superintendent for the
11,000 square miles of the Huron. South
Dakota, district.
“The openings are there,” says Roger,
“and the telephone company trains you
to fill them. I joined Northwestern Bell
in 1950 and spent one year learning pole
line and cable construction. This, plus
short periods in other departments, gave
me a good telephone background.
“My experience really grew when I
became an installer-repairman, then a
construction crew foreman, and. in 1952.
\\ ire Chief at South Sioux City. Ne
braska. There I was responsible for the
3500 dial phones that served the town.
In March of 1954 I went to Grand Island,
Nebraska, to help supervise dial conver
sion projects in that district. Everything
I d learned to date came in handy on
that job.
A year later I went to Omaha on a
stall assignment, and in March, 1956, I
moved up to my present position.
"I head a group responsible for install
ing and maintaining Plant equipment in
the Huron district. We supervise ordering
and distributing supplies, and I’m re
sponsible for personnel and employment.
I work with other department heads in
the administration of our district.,
“Each assignment I’ve had has been
broader than the last, and believe me, the
more I learn, the better 1 like it.”

are finding rewarding careers in Bell telephone

Pugh Powers Kittens
Past Hearne, 26-0
By MAURICE OLIAN
CHS Sports Correspondant
Fullback Condy Pugh powered
CHS’s Kittens over the Hearne
Eaglets, 26-0, last night in a non
district encounter. The win evened
up Kitten standings with a 2-2
record.
In a scoreless first quarter the
Kittens lost three fumbles and it
looked like another sad night. Then
in the second period an aroused
Kitten eleven managed to stop a
Hearne drive on their own 14, be
fore starting to play real football.
Devouring five first downs the
CHS gridders marched to the
Eaglet 12 where a fumble handed
the ball over. On the next play,
however, Bob White recovered a
Hearne bobble. Russell Welch lost
two, Ronnie Rea picked up six, and
Cyril Burke added 4 before Rea
broke loose at the four for the first
scoring scamper. Pugh went over
light tackle for the extra point
with 33 seconds left in the first
half.
On the first play from scrim
mage Pugh intercepted a Hearne
aerial and drove 52 yards for an
other TD. Conversion was blocked
and time ran out at 13-0 for the
Kittens.

LOUPOT’S
Defense reigned in the third
period, the only threat coming as
Hearne grabbed a Kitten fumble
on CHS’ 23. The alert Kittens
quickly recovered to play out a
scoreless third quarter.
The Eaglets travelled to the 37
in Kitten territory only to lose their
chance when Fred Wright pounced
on another fumble, setting up a
63 yard advance completed in nine
plays. Rea made the drive pay off,
plunging over from the six.
The final TD came as CHS took
over on Hearne’s 45 and Pugh
slashed into the line for 29 draw
ing a 15 yard penalty. On the next
play Pugh carried again, this time
for 31 and a touchdown. It was
Pugh again kicking the extra point
for a final 26-0 shutout.
