Varsity premier run-gun offense against freshman
Ted Owen's varsity, triggered by the running of sophomore Bud Stallworth and the scoring of all-Big Eight forward Dave Robisch, premiered its fast-breaking offense Saturday night as they rolled over the freshmen, 83-48, in the annual varsity-freshmen game before 5,000 fans in Allen Field House.
The frosh jumped to an early 4-1 lead and gave the varsity all they could handle through the opening eight minutes of the first half. The depth of the hard-running varsity played an important role as they built a 37-27 half time lead and went on to wear down the highly touted freshman squad in the final 20 minutes.
Robisch paced the varsity scoring with 25 points, most of them coming on baseline jumpers and follow shots. Stallworth, who connected on only two of 12 field goals in the first half, canned 12 in the second period and finished with a total of 18. Pierre Russell added 17 points to the well-balanced varsity attack.
Randy Canfield, 6-10 freshman center, pulled down a game high of 20 rebounds and led the freshmen scoring with 14 points. Cana-

field, held scoreless in the first half, turned in an outstanding second half performance by scoring 14 points and hauling in eight rebounds. Leanord Gray followed Canfield with 12 points.
The varsity's half-court pressure defense forced the inexperienced frosh into numerous turnovers and paved the way for the second half surge which buried the freshman squad.

KU fumbled on its first two possessions and the Tigers capitalized on the second turnover to score. They gave a good indication of things to come rushing to a 21-0 first quarter lead and a 28-7 halftime advantage.
Senior quarterback Terry McMilan pinpointed open receivers
almost at will, completing 13 of 24 for 295 yards and four TD's. He was not intercepted. McMillan surpassed Paul Christman's school record for most touchdown passes in one game. Christman threw three TD passes for MU in 1940 and McMillan had tied the record three times this season.
When McMillan and Gray weren't teaming up through the airways, it was devastating full-back Joe Moore who crushed the 'Hawks. Moore ran over KU for 164 yards on 23 carries and scored a touchdown on a 53-yard romp.
Principal target for McMillan was speedster Mel Gray who caught three passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns. Gray, a 9.3 hundred yard dash man during track season, scored another TD on a 19-yard flankerback reverse.
With the victory Mizzou finished the season with a 9-1 record and a share of the Big Eight
championship with Nebraska. The Cornhuskers beat Oklahoma Sat-
