Kansas and Missouri football teams will go at it tooth and nail again Saturday in the 64th meeting between the Big Seven schools. The series, fifth oldest in the U.S., now is tied at 28 victories, with seven ties.
Lawrence Mayor John Crown has declared this week as "Beat Missouri" week, and townspeople have responded enthusiastically. Monday night, the Lawrence Quarterback Club hosted members of the Jayhawker squad to show the team that it's being backed.
Need anymore be said?
Surely we aren't going to stand around and watch someone else do our work for us, are we? It's a crying shame, if we do.
The team hasn't been too successful this season, but it has bettered last year's record, and most important of all, it has tried and tried hard in every game.
Two weeks ago, KU was mauled by Kansas State, 46 to 0. A week later, the players came out, outmanned as they were, and fought and hustled to beat the Oklahoma Aggies. Come now, don't you believe they deserve credit for that?
We stand a good chance of beating the Tigers Saturday. With the enthusiasm of several weeks ago, and cooperation by students, KU pep clubs can help make this Homecoming game the highlight of the season.
Let's really get with it and give Lawrence backers some help. With effort, we can make the senior players who are playing their last game for the crimson and blue, feel their efforts haven't been wasted and the rest that there's something worth coming back to at KU.
Ellwood Stars At Ohio State
By UNITED PRESS
COLUMBUS. Ohio—One day last winter, a handsome youngster walked into Coach Woody Hayes office and announced he wanted to be the Ohio State quarterback.
The Buckeye coach, somewhat surprised, said he would see what could be done. He agreed with the Dover, Ohio, junior there wasn't much hope for him as an end, where Ellwood had played only four minutes during the 1954 unbeaten season.
Like A General
"I can be the best quarterback your football team will have," Frank Ellwood told Hayes.
"That boy got up when everybody was floundering and took charge of that class like a general," an assistant coach told Hayes. He had seen the drill by chance.
Hayes recalled that Ellwood's fine performance in class was a major reason he decided to try him at quarterback.
Next Saturday, the 193-pound 20-year-old junior will start his ninth game at the Buckeye helm when his team meets Michigan in Ann Arbor for the Big Ten championship.
Made Costly Mistake
In Ellwood's first game, he made a costly mistake, when on a handoff he gave the ball to Nebraska fullback John Smith. The Cornhusker ran 84 yards for a touchdown. Ohio State rallied to
The grandstand quarterbacks continued to complain as Ohio lost to Stanford, beat Illinois, and lost to Duke.
Hayes stuck with Ellwood but there wasn't much joy in Buckeyeland when Ohio opened a five-game Big Ten stretch against favored Wisconsin. Two days before the game, Ellwood's father underwent major surgery, but the fledgling quarterback just gritted his teeth and hit the line for three touchdowns in Ohio's victory.
