Coach Chuck Mather and his Kansas Jayhawks will be in Manhattan tomorrow afternoon in quest of their first Big Seven and collegiate football victory of the season at the expense of the Kansas State Wildcats. *
Kickoff time is scheduled for 2 p.m. at K-State's Memorial stadium and a capacity crowd of 22,000 is expected to watch the two state rivals battle.
Kansas State, who is 4-2 for the season, has victories over Colorado A&M, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Tulsa, while losing to Missouri and Oklahoma. Last season the added win and lead a 6-3-1 record, the best since 1934, and this year's team is trying to better that mark.
Bill Meek, now in his fourth season as the Wildcats head coach, has a record of 11 victories in 34 games at K-State.
The Wildcats play two-platoon football by substituting-a team every quarter, and by using this method they attempt to wear their opponent down and win in this manner.
Quarterbacking the first team is Bob Whitehead. Whitehead is one of the better passers in the Big Seven with 11 completed passes in 11 attempts for 129 yards and one
touchdown.
Leading ground gainer on the Wildcat squad is left halfback Corky Taylor with 304 yards in 46 carries for an average of 6.6 yards per try. Taylor is also the conference and K-State's leading pass receiver with nine passes caught for 166 yards and one touchdown. Taylor leads the Wildcat scoring with 30 points.
Doug Roether, fullback, h has rushed for 194 yards this season in 41 carries for an average of 4.7 per carry. Bernie Dudley, fourth member of the starting backfield, has carried for 22 yards, passed for 41 yards, received two passes, and scored one touchdown.
The second unit's quarterback, Bob Dahnke, has rushed for 154 yards, passed for 11 yards, and is second in pass receiving by catching five passes for 44 yards.
The Wildcat line is led by 215 pound tackles Larry Hartshorn and Ron Nery, and guard Ron Marcinak.
Kansas is still being plagued

by injuries. The services of left halfback Ralph Moody were lost this week for the remainder of the season. Terry McIntosh, sophomore from Chapman, will replace Moody for tomorrow's game.
Moody's injury is a great blow to the Jayhawk team. He leads the team in rushing yardage, returning punts, and he is the leading scorer with two touchdowns.
On the bright side for Kansas is the return of John Handley to the lineup. Handley will be the No. 2 left halfback.
The Kansas cross country team will put two victory strings to the test tomorrow when they face Missouri at Columbia.
Captain Al Frame, who set a new course record of 14.19.2 in a recent match with Drake university, will lead the team against the Tigers.
The Jayhawkers have rolled up 30 consecutive victories against Big Seven opposition in dual, triangular, and conference meets—both in indoor and outdoor competition.
The team, until its loss at the start of the season to Oklahoma A&M, a non-league opponent, hadn't tasted defeat since 1947
