Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Sooner great Plato Andros dies: Plato Andros, who after fighting the Nazis in World War II became a 1946 football all-American at the University of Oklahoma, died Monday. He was 86. Andros was a guard for Jim Tatum's 1946 Sooners. He distinguished himself with a superb defensive performance against Army that season.

Army broke out of a 7-7 halftime tie and won 21-7. Andros served four years with the Coast Guard. Services will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Rose Hill Cemetery Chapel.
