KANSAS 45, IOWA STATE 7
FARTHER THAN EVER
Senior running back Brandon McAnderson dives for extra yards during Saturday's game against Iowa State in Memorial Stadium. Kansas defeated Iowa State 45-7 and improved to 11-0, notching the highest total victory in school history. The Jayhawks rose to No. 2 in the Associated Press Top 25, the coaches' poll and the BCS Standings. Sophomore quarterback Rodey Reeshed completed 21 of 36 passes for 253 yards and four touchdowns and no interceptions, stretching his streak of pass attempts without an interception to 205. If Kansas wins its remaining games, it will play in the BCS National Championship in New Orleans, but at the biggest test of the season remains. The Border Showdown with AP No. 3 and BCS No. 4 Missouri Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., will decide the Big 12 North championship—and knock one team out of the national title race. **SEE COVERAGE ON PAGES 1B, 4B AND 5B.**
CRIME
E-fraud targets KU Credit Union
Several people with University e-mail addresses received fraudulent e-mails that claimed they were from the KU Credit Union.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said it was rare for e-mails to be addressed only to a certain group, such as
The e-mails asked for people to give their account numbers.
University addresses.
KU Credit Union did not really send the e-mails, and has a part of its Web site where people are supposed to notify it if they receive spam e-mails from someone who is pretending to represent KU Credit Union. Dennis Halpin, KU Credit Union spokesman, said his company would never ask for an account number in an e-mail.

Resale price of Kansas-Missouri tickets increases
The only thing, possibly, putting up bigger numbers than the Kansas offense right now is the secondary market of Saturday's Border Showdown between Kansas and Missouri. Tickets for the game available on eBay, StubHub and Ace Sports are fetching staggering prices.
StubHub, which monitors ticket resale prices, has the average KU-MU ticket going
for $157. Just last year, the resale price of the contest was Top 26. The Web site has a "StubHub Top 25 Rivalry Rankings" index that lists the top 25 average resale price of college football games in 2007. The Jayhawk-Tiger game, as of Sunday afternoon, ranked 15, behind rivalries such as Ohio State-Michigan, USC-Notre Dame and Oklahoma-Texas.
Most tickets on StubHub are currently being sold for $250 or more.
