Big Seven Roundup-
Conference Teams Prepare For Tough Games Saturday
Columbia, Mo. (U.P.)—Defense was emphasized by Coach Don Fauro as the Missouri Tigers went through their roughest workout of the week yesterday.
Bob Bauman and Bob Musgrave, both injured in the Purdue game two weeks ago, worked out lightly, but were not expected to play Saturday against Southern Methodist
Manhattan—(U.P.)—Kansas S t a t e griders practiced kicking and passing today and topped the drill off by running against Nebraska split-T plays in the last session before Saturday's game.
Coach Bill Meek said he was well pleased with the practices this week. "They were much better than last week before the Missouri game," Meek said.
In yesterday's drill, the entire squad saw action except Tom Ebert, junior end, who had an upset stomach. He was expected to start the Husker game, however.
Ames, Iowa—(U.P.) Iowa S t a t e coach Vice Dij Francesca shaped
a pair of quarterbacks for this Saturday's game with Kansas today.
The coach had both regular quarter John Breckinridge and his replacement Jerry Finley calling siggertime. The drilled squirt against plays.
Boulder, Colo. (U.P.)—Coach Dallas Ward fumed at sloppy tackling during a Colorado scrimmage yesterday.
"The boys seem to be feeling a little prosperous" after three relatively easy victories, Ward said. But he is convinced that Arizona will give the Big Seven contenders a rough game at Tucson Saturday night.
Center Don Karnoscak and fullback Jack Becker were running at full speed in the scrimmage, recovered from early-season injuries. But tailback Carroll Hardy continued to favor his bruised shoulder.

RCA Victor Presents THE BALLET
If the Philadelphia Athletics don't move to Kansas City, there will be no one in this area to blame. Arnold Johnson, the Chicago realtor who has been trying to acquire the A's for the city, and several interested organizations, have done everything possible to impress the American league with the seriousness of Kansas City's bid.

The latest move, instigated by the Merchants association of the city, is probably the most daring and could prove to be the clincher. The Merchants association is sponsoring a drive to pledge attendance should the A's franchise to Kansas City. Persons interested in having big league baseball in the city are now able to order tickets for as many games as they wish to see next season. And latest reports state that bulging mail sacks of orders are piling up too fast to have an accurate count of the number of tickets ordered.
Certain stores have been designated to carry the ticket order blanks. The names of these stores are listed in Wednesday morning's Kansas City Times.
One of the surprises of the campaign was the manner in which the very conservative Kansas City Star jumped on the band wagon, and the Star hasn't gone about the situation in its usual standoff manner. Instead, the paper has waged a strong campaign of its own, and one which almost got out of hand on one occasion. A few weeks ago, the Star ran a four-column banner headline stating that Roy Mack, present co-owner of the A's was about to sell—but it turned out to be just a rumor.
When the Kansas City Star prints a large coupon on its front page, as it did Wednesday, there must be something cooking. Right on the first page, was a large coupon with the letters, "I Want the A's" printed across the top of it. This coupon will run for a number of days, the paper announced. The coupon can be mailed in with an order for tickets.
Since football was introduced at Iowa State, the Cyclone teams have won 248 games, lost 217, and tied 32.
The trumpeter swan, with a maximum weight of 40 pounds, is the heaviest flying bird in North America.
But if this last attempt to gain the confidence of the American league fails, then everyone interested in the A's transfer to Kansas City can rest assured that everything that could be done, was done. And the only persons to blame will be the Macks, and Clark Griffith and his followers.
Iowa State has never won a football championship in the Big Six or Big Seven.
