The Stantons label it "The Game of the Year" in The Football News ("America's Number One Football Weekly"). In that publication's poll, Nebraska is No. 1 with 176 voting points (in whatever way they tabulated that), and Oklahoma is No. 2 at 164. There's then a 30-point dropoff to No. 3 Alabama. Harry Devold's preview of the game compares its intrigue to the Texas-Arkansas game of 1969, Michigan State-Notre Dame of 1966 and Army-Notre Dame in 1946.
That is some fine weekend TV-sports viewing right there. I want to see it all. Also on Thursday, Nov. 25, 1971, Dick Cavett appears to have a lively nightcap planned for our holidays.
