The Kansas Jayhawks will take on Nebraska tomorrow at Lincoln in what will probably be the cross-roads of the 1955 season as far as Coach Chuck Mather's men are concerned.

Take the fact that Kansas is probably at its lowest physical ebb of the season, Nebraska at its best, and that it will be Homecoming day for the Huskers, and it's easy to see why the Huskers are rated a 13 point favorite.
Aware' of Kansas' 1-4-1 season record, Nebraska Coach Bill Glassford still thinks the 13 point edge is not to be taken too seriously. The last time the Huskers were favorites they dropped a 6-0 contest to unheralded Hawaii.
Five KU Men Out
Five men will definitely be out for Kansas tomorrow. Sitting out will be Dick Reich and Jerry Baker, first and second string fullbacks, Frank Black, first string center, Dave Preston, quarterback and Bob Preston, guard. All have been victims of the recent injury rash that has plagued Jayhawk practice sessions.
Nebraska with two Big Seven victories, and fresh from an upset over Missouri has only a few minor injuries. Bob Berguin, center, who alternated with Doran Post at that position against Missouri is still a question mark with a bad leg. Bill Hawkins, a sophomore tackle; Jerry Brown, soph guard and Jack Fleming, junior tackle, are also waiting out injuries.
Odds are that Kansas will have to go to the air frequently to win tomorrow and the Wally Strauch-Jim Letcavits pass combination, which counted for two scores last week against SMU, could provide the spark in that department.
Nebraska players to watch will be quarterback Done Erway, and halfback Rex Fisher and Willie Greenlaw. Fisher, a top defensive back, whose pass interception and a 57-yard return gave the Huskers the edge over Missouri, has averaged 4.3 yards on 61 carries.
Buller To Start
Bev Buller, the come-back- Jay-hawk quarterback will draw the starting quarterback assignment an alternate with sophomore Strauch at that position.
Up until last week, when the Huskers ran into Missouri quarterback Dave Doane, they had allowed only 32.4 yards by opponents in the passing department, Nebraska was leading the major college pass defense statistics until that time.

Alston Named Manager Of '55
NEW YORK —(U.P.) Walter Alston, the silent man who touched off the noisiest celebration in Brooklyn since the end of World War II, was named by the United Press today as the National League manager of the year.
As of the first five games, Nebraska was the No.1 pass defender in the nation.
For the seventh straight week the sports staff takes a crack at picking 20 top games and this week the consensus of opinion runs a little closer together. On 12 games the entire staff agrees and on only one game does anyone go completely off by himself.
Sports Staff Closer On Picks
In the KU-NU game everyone but Sam Jones and Leo Flanagan picks KU to win. Jones and Flanagan pick Nebraska to win 19-13. For the rest Daryl Hall calls it KU 20 NU 14, Dick Walt says it will be KU 20, NU 13, Kent Thomas says KU 20, NU 14, Bob Lyle calls it KU 20, NU 12, and John McMillion says KU 14, NU 13.
