The nation's fifth oldest football rivalry will be renewed tomorrow in Memorial Stadium when Kansas and Missouri meet for the 64th time. Kickoff for the KU Homecoming game is 2 p.m.
In the ancient series, which began in 1891, each team has won 28 games, with seven ending in ties. Missouri caught up with the Jayhawkers last season by posting a 41 to 18 victory, and can go ahead for the first time with a win tomorrow.
Besides their personal feud, the Jayhawkers and Tigers have nothing more at stake than escape from the Big Seven cellar. In conference play, Missouri has won but one game, over Colorado 20 to 12, and the best Kansas has managed was a 7 to 7 tie with Iowa State.
MU Played Close Games Missouri has lost to all, non-conference foes, but only once badly, that to Michigan, 4 to 7. The
Tigers drew national attention in bowing only 13 to 12 to highly-regarded Maryland in the season's opener. Southern Methodist and Utah each edged the Bengals by a touchdown. Kansas has split even in four non-league games, beating Oklahoma A&M and Washington State and losing to SMU and TCU.
Coach Mather's Jayhawkers enter the game still in quest of their first league victory since Oct. 10, 1953, when they beat Colorado. If they succeed toorrow, and Iowa State loses, as expected, to Colorado, KU would finish in a fifth and sixth place tie with Iowa State. Missouri could win undisputed fifth place if it wins tomorrow and Iowa State loses.
Both squads have key players out with injuries. Quarterback Bev Buller is out due to a kidney bruise, and Jim Letcavits with a broken hand, and center Frank Black with back and neck injuries. MUF fullback Gene Roll, the Big Seven's fourth leading rusher, will not play because of a fractured cheek bone suffered in last week's Kansas State game.
MU Has 3 Passers
Operating from a sliding-T formation, Missouri has a three-man passing combination which should give Kansas pass defenders a stiff challenge. Jim Hunter is MU's starting quarterback, but his under-study, Dave Doane, is the leading passer in the conference.
While Hunter was sidelined five weeks with injuries, Doane took over with authority and now has completed 50 of 103 pass attempts, good for 741 yards. Tiger end Harold Burnine is the nation's number one pass receiver with 518 yards on 39 catches.
AI Portney, a all-conference tackle, heads the two-deep Missouri line which has yielded a rushing average of less than 170 yards a game this year, despite the 1-8 Tiger record. The four starting tackles and guards for Mizzou average 220 pounds.
The return of fullbacks Dick Reich and Jerry Baker to duty considerably brightens the Kansas outlook.

Connie Mack Feted Prior To Birthday
PHILADELPHIA (U.P.)—They gave a birthday party for Connie Mack last night, although it wasn't his birthday and he wasn't there, but even President Eisenhower joined in congratulating baseball's beloved patriarch.
Mack, former owner-manager of the Philadelphia Athletics who will be 93 on Dec. 23, always is feted in advance by the Reciprocity Club, because his birthday usually finds him in Florida.
A telegram from President Eisenhower, wishing Mack "warm personal congratulations," was read at the party.
Glassford Resigns At NU
Santee's Appeal In KC Sunday
LINCOLN, Neb. — (U.P.)—Nebraska began a hunt for a new football coach today on the eve of the Cornhuskers' biggest game of the season. Coach Bill Glassford announced his resignation yesterday.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (U.P.)—Wes Santee, America's fastest miler, will appeal his permanent suspension from AAU sponsored track events here Sunday.
Santee, former University of Kansas ace who has come within a whisker of the four minute mile on several occasions, will appear in person before the Missouri Valley AAU board of managers if he can find transportation here from his Marine base at Quantico, Va.
Santee's suspension over expenses for his participation in three California track meets last May could wreck his chances to run in the Olympics in Australia next year.
If the appeal to the Missouri Valley AAU fails, Santee can appeal to the National AAU at its convention in Louisville, Ky., Dec. 1-4
