MOONEY SAID he had been forced to do
"I have several competent members that are able to substitute for them," Mooney said. "They will be able to show what they know." In effect, it will be a real test of our character."
In their last meeting, Kansas and Missouri played to a 1-1 tie.
"We tend to overreact to teams that are physical and that reaction ends up in some of our players worrying about getting hurt." Mooney said.
"We tend to lack the effort K-State puts in, but that will be different on Sunday. We're thoroughly capable of beating both of these teams and need a little more confidence in our ability."

Jabbar gets record fine
NBA Oomissioner Larry O'Brien leaved for a scuffle for a tussle on Tuesday at NBC's studios.
ANOTHER EXAMINATION will be made after three weeks, and Abdul-Jabbar probably will wear a protective device to let him make his hand finish healing, Keran said.
A statement released by Robert Kerlan, team physician, said Abdul-Jabbar would have to wear a cast on his right hand for three weeks. The injury was not as bad as first believed, according to the doctor's statement.
"Kareem is eager to play right now, but we feel that because it is just the beginning of the season and we want to make sure that we can be prepared for it. We are勿ise to risk playing right." Kerr said.
Abdul-Jabbar, who had not missed a game since the end of the 1974-75 season until Wednesday night's game against the Cincinnati team, is expected to be set坠al for nine games.
