‎SMITH WANN; WILKINSON JAY FOREWORD‎

‎Wishbone: Oklahoma Football 1959-1985‎

‎University of Oklahoma Press Norman: . Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The Oklahoma Sooners dominated the world of college football during the 1950s. Under the leadership of Coach Bud Wilkinson the team won three national titles and established an astounding record of forty-seven straight victories that still stands today. Yet by 1959 Wilkinson's Sooners were showing signs of vulnerability marking the start of a new and challenging era in Oklahoma football. Then along came a new offensive strategy and OU began to dominate college football once again. In Wishbone veteran journalist Wann Smith provides an in-depth account of Sooner football from the team's final years under Wilkinson through its remarkable turnaround under Coach Barry Switzer. At the heart of this story is the phenomenal success of the Wishbone offense�a hybrid offshoot of the Split-t formation that Wilkinson employed so successfully in the 1950s. Though not without its risks the Wishbone offense changed the face of college football and was a key factor in Oklahoma's resurgence in the 1970s with Switzer at the helm. Drawing on firsthand accounts from coaches players and university administrators many never before published Smith takes us behind the scenes during this exciting comeback period to reveal not just what happened but why and how it happened. And he brings to life the personalities who played pivotal roles in the team's renewed success including Jack Mildren Greg Pruitt Joe Washington Billy Sims and many many others.

‎Vegetable Cookery. Including a Complete Set of Recipes for Pastry, Preserving, Pickling, the Preparation of Sauces, Soups, Beverages, etc. [?Fourth Edition]. IN THE ORIGINAL BOARDS‎

‎Sm. 8vo., ?Fourth Edition, pin holes in front free endpaper and half-title, some light marginal age-staining; original boards, boards and backstrip lettered in black, neatly recased, a very good, firm copy. With 3pp publisher's catalogue at end, and two small items of related ephemera loosely inserted. 'This volume meets a want long felt. Vegetables, Fruits, etc, constitute the half of our daily food: the present work is upon the best possible preparation of this half. Cookery-books exist in abundance; but they relate almost exclusively to the preparation of dishes from animal food' (Publisher's advertisement). Smith's delightful compilation was first published in 1866. There was a second issue in 1876 and a third in 1884, so this is probably the fourth edition. The last edition may be that of 1890. Very scarce, especially in this condition.‎
