10 Friday, November 18, 1977 University Daily Kansan Final game lacking usual emotion By GARY BEDORE Sports Writer When Kansas and Missouri meet for the 8th time tomorrow, some of the usual rules will be less strict. In the past two seasons, the KU-MU game determined a berth in the Sun Bowl in EI Paso, Texas. Last year, Kansas blasted the Titans 21-10. It was the Titers' last rays of hope for a bowl bid. And in 1975, KU pounded the Tigers, 42-24, earning the Jayhawks a spot in the Sun. The game is scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow, Memorial Stadium A at 4:00 o'clock for a game of 40,000 fans. This season MU, 4-6, and KU, 2-7-1, will not be spending the holidays in El Paso. However, the teams still own the oldest rivalry west of the Mississippi River, and according to KU head coach Brian Moore, the teams have been playing games get into an entertaining clash. "THIS GAME is our season now, and important to me. More said, "if always a teammate on me, you're my partner." "Although we've been extremely disappointed, I'm pleased to know the attitude has remained good. There is a very positive feeling among the players. Because of that, I don't think we'll have any problem getting them ready to play this week. "The Missouri game is important for many reasons. They are much aware of it. I'll be surprised if we don't play with good intensity." Missouri travels to Lawrence after last week's 41-14 stumping over Oklahoma State. The Tigers trailed 14-10 entering the fourth inning and rallied for 31 points in the last 15 minutes. Kansas was blasted out of Nebrasla last Saturday, losing to the Cornhuskers, 52-7. The Big Red pounded out 500 yards rushing against Kansas. "WIN OR LOSE, we got to forget the game behind you," Don Lawrence, MU defensive end and linebacker coach said earlier this week. "This is the most important player in the team as we haven't played well against them. "We want our seniors to go out as winners and set some momentum for next year." The Tigers are led by freshman quarterback Phil Bradley, who has been rushed on this occasion. The Tigers missed Missouri first-string quarterback Pete Woods. Bradley has responded by completing 36 of 75 passes for 401 yards and two interceptions in the last week of their last season. "Offensively, Bradley presents a different threat than Missouri's had in the past few years." Moore said. "He's much more athletic, runner than they have had at upperback." The Tigers have another freshman quarterback-Jay Jeffrey from Shawnee Mission West High School in Overland Park. He has seen limited action this season. MISSOURI'S BACKFIELD threat is 6-3. Phil Bradley Men swimmers looking for win Facing its first major challenge of the season, the University of Kansas men's swimming team will go against Missouri in a dual meet at 7 onight in Columbia. The Jayhawks will be going for their second win in as many meetings. In the season beginning, they have scored 12-30 against banding Colorado at an 8-23 defeat. The Tigers, however, are expected to contend for the Big Eight Conference title later this season. They will compete side stuffer competition for the Jayhawks. "YOU HAVE TO rate them and Iowa State as the favorites," KU coach Spain Saplin said. "It should be very interesting. I don't know what you've been doing and how you are responding, but exactly what their view of us is. I wish knew what their attitude toward us was." Spain has a mixture of talent on the KU squad in his first year as head coach of the Jayhawks. Against the Buffaloes, KU's defense has its returning lettermen gave good efforts. Sophomore Peter Bakker-Arkemwon both the 200-yard and 200-free dryfreestyle and the 1,000-yard freefreestyle of 9:58 in winning the 1,000-yard freefreestyle and the 400-yard medley relay team of Rick Jenkins, Jedi Blankenship, David Estes and Brent Brearn set a Robinson Naturatum "I was pleased with our performance against Colorado," Spahn said. "Both our younger guys and our veterans swam well and turned in some good, early season races. We're also helping people in off events, meaning they should be a little fresher for Missouri this week." "I saw some progress in our weaknesses. Our distance swimmers are not great, but I think they need to work on it." 207 pound tailback Earl Gant, who has 748 yards rushing in this season, placing him fifth Passing has been a strong point for Missouri the past few seasons and the Tigers have a host of capable receivers again this year. Senior flanker Joe Stewart, who led the conference in pass receptions last season, again leads the Big Eight with 28 catchs for 369 yards. He needs 118 yards to pass Mel Gray and become Missouri's career leader in pass-reception vardence.

Junior split end Leo Lewis has 21 receptions for 22 yards. Kansas, which has been hit with a rash of injuries during the last few weeks, comes in the game with quarterback Brian Bethek a questionable starter because of an ankle injury. If Bethek doesn't start, he will be out of Emporia will probably get the call. FOR THE JAYHAWKS, the game will mark the end of the college careers of Defensive end Tom Dinkel, who had a season-high 12 tackles last week, has 207 career tackles which ranks him ninth on KU's career charts. He needs only two tackles against Missouri to move ahead of Mike Butler into eight place. Fitch, an All-Big Eight candidate at safety, has 67 cracks this season.

BILL CAMPFIELD needs an 80-yard performance to move up to 17th place on KU's career rising list. He has gained 1,197 yards during his career. Other seniors are linemen MJ Masutera and Lindsey Johnson and split-end Rodney Olson. "I always get up for the Missouri game," Banks said. "Maybe not as much as some of the guys who are from Kansas or Missouri but it's still a big game for me. We haven't lost to them since I've been here and there will be a lot of ride riding on this game. "I look at it as a chance to salvage at least some of the season and get things started for the season."
