Considering that the Kansas Jayhawkers are winning football games again this year and have a remote shot at the Big Eight title and a trip to the Orange Bowl, the school spirit across Mt. Oread isn't bad.
Homecoming fervor is beginning to rustle across the campus as the first visible signs of welcoming decorations for KU alumni appear.
Pep rallies will be held this week encouraging those fighting Javhawkers to "Husk some corn and listen to those Cornhuskers wall."
YES, THE SCHOOL SPIRIT will probably reach its height on Mt. Oread this week.

In comparison, the school spirit showed by Kansas State students at the KU-Kansas State debacle last Saturday makes the spirit around here minute to the nth degree.
Our rivals from the "Udder University" haven't won a football game this season. Kansas State has been smeared across the gridiron every Saturday since Sept. 22. Each weekend, save one, they have been beaten badly.
The Wildcats have scored one touchdown all year long, while opponents have crushed the K-State defense for 211 points in seven games.
AND A GROUP of students—evidently apart from the student body—had the audacity to hang K-State's coach Doug Weaver in effigy last week before the KU-Kansas game.
Saturday at Manhattan was inspirational, even to an outsider—a KU fan.
Kansas State students cheered every time the Purple got the ball, completed a pass, or picked up a two-yard gain. It appeared as though every play meant to them the difference between an Orange Bowl trip and second-place spoils.
The Wildcats left the field whipped,
trailing 15-0 at the halftime intermission. As they charged across the field to the ramp that led to their dressing room, several thousand K-State students gave the team a standing ovation, and the Purple band swung into the 'Aaggie Fight Song.'
Tulsa Backfielder Leads in Passing
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UPI)—The masterful passing arm of Tulsa's Stuart McBirnie gave the Hurricane backfielder the total offensive lead in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, despite a 21-yard net loss running.
McBirnie, hitting 50 of 106 pass attempts, averaged 5.5 yards a throw and gained 578 yards aerially. The 21-yard loss running gave him a 557-yard net offense record. He also led in punting with 1,239 yards on a 38.7-yard average.
Wichita's Alex Zyskowski, gaining 439 passing and 77 rushing, was second in the league with 516 net offense. Tulsa's Ramiro Escandon gained 485 yards on 49 rushing and 436 passing.
Texas Wild About Football
TEMPLE, Tex.—(UPI) —Football fever grows in Texas.
The Temple Daily Telegram, a central Texas newspaper, published a 1962 wallet-sized booklet containing 17 high school schedules in the Temple area along with this year's Southwest Conference schedule.
IT'S A GOOD thing the students who hanged Doug Weaver in effigy weren't caught, because the students giving their team a standing ovation would have hanged them right on the spot—from the goalpost—for real. The end result?
Kansas State lost again. But they broke the huddle and charged up to the line like they wanted to play football. And they turned in their best offensive performance of the season, netting 14 first downs and 172 yards of total offense.
As Homecoming approaches, maybe we could take a lesson from our neighbors up the Kaw.
And they don't even have a winning team.
The Kansas Jayhawkers were confident they could beat K-State in football over the weekend. The same was true for the cricket team.

Cricketers Defeat K-State
The Lawrence cricket team defeated Kansas State for the second year in a row with a lead of four wickets and 17 runs at Memorial Stadium Sunday afternoon. Four of the 10 players on the Lawrence team were not out.
The final score: K-State 61 runs, Lawrence 78 runs, and six wickets down.
CRICKET BEARS a faint resemblance to American baseball.
Each team consists of 11 players. It takes 10 out to retire a side.
There are two batsmen 22 yards apart on the ground. Both batsmen protect wickets, three upright sticks supporting a pair of small wood rods known as "bails."
The batsman is out if the bails are dislodged by the bowler, or if the ball hits the stumps and then hits the batsman.
THE BOWLER is little different than a pitcher in baseball. The pitcher throws the ball, but the bowler
bowles the ball by giving full swing to his arm over his shoulder.
One batsman may run to score a run by swapping wickets with the other batsman, provided that he is not thrown out or caught out under baseball—like pop fly and base running rules.
K-State players started their bating first. Luck was against them. Their first player was out in the first over (each "over" consists of six balls).
Most feared bowler of the day was Lalit Kothari, Bombay, India, senior and captain of the Lawrence team. He took four wickets.
Scared, shaky, and unpracticed K-State players fumbled haltingly throughout the game. The whole team was dismissed in 61 runs. This score is below the average score of a good team.
VINAY VALIA of the Lawrence team prevented the opposite team from scoring many runs. He got two wickets and gave up 14 runs.
Pravin Kothari, Bombay, India, and Ramesh Doshi, Rajkot, India, opened the Lawrence team batting. They did not play well. K-State players became hopeful. Ramesh Gandhi, junior, Bombay, India, came second down (he came to bat after two players were out). He hit the ball in all directions and made 41 runs in very short time.
The score mounted to 78 runs.
