Last week every rural radio was tuned in to the Oklahoma-Missouri game at Columbia, Mo. Oklahomans wanted their beloved Sooners to stop Missouri's fabulous Paul Christman. Stop Christman they did, but discovered that his less publicized teammates were good too. By the margin of an unsuccessful kick (7-to-6), Oklahoma was nosed out of the undefeated ranks and the Big Six title...
