Trying to pull out of a 4-game tail spin, its longest losing streak since the war, the Kansas football team takes on rugged Oklahoma A&M here Saturday in Memorial stadium. A crowd of 18,000 is expected to be on hand for the kickoff at 2 p.m.

The two teams come into the fray with exactly opposite records Kansas has won two and lost six, the Aggies have won six, lost two In last week's games, the Cowboys beat Wyoming, 20-14, while Kansas was being taken into tow, 7-0 by Kansas State.
Otherwise the Javahawkers will open with the same men that have started most of the previous games. That would place Morris Kay at the other wing, Joe Lundy and Dick Knowles at the tackles, Joe Fink and Bob Bantla at the guards, and Merle Hodges at center.
The Aggies never have won a game in the current series between the two schools which began in 1946. In fact, the last A&M victory over a Kansas team was in 1931. So the Aggies also have a long win drouth to break.
In the backfield, Sikes will open with John McFarland at quarterback, Don Hess at left half, Bob Allison at right half, and John Anderson at fullback.
Coach J. V. Sikes, trying for an improved tackling effort, has moved Harold Patterson to a starting spot at right end instead of Don Bracelin. Bracelin started the first eight games this season.
Injuries may keep three men sidelines for the game. Bob Conn, who has been running behind Hess at left half, is nursing a leg injury and probably won't play. Frank Cindrich, No. 3 left half, and John Rothrock, No. 2 left table, also may miss the affair.
If the Jayhawkers have any idea of winning this one, they will have to stop the Missouri Valley's No. 2, and 4 ground gainers this year.
Lead by sophomore fullback Earl Jagord, the Aggies have rolled to an impressive total on the ground this year. His next move will be Bill Dorssey Gibson for the devastating triple punch. All three have tremendous breakaway power as shown by their long touchdown jaunts this season.
The two lines should stack up about even. The Cowboy forward wall is anchored by two mammoth tackles, Leland Kendall and Dale Meinert. Kendell hits the scales of 225 while Meinert weighs in. 260
Fans expecting to see an aerial
battle, such as the last few Kansas- Aggie games have been, probably will be disappointed. Neither team has thrown a lot this year and

Don Babers, the Cowboy aerial artist of last year, hasn't seen too much action this year. Bobby Andrews, a 180-pound sophomore, has handled a major share of the A&M quarterbacking duties.
This is undoubtedly the best Aggie team in four years and will likely post its best record since the 1945 eleven which mowed down eight straight regular season opponents, then flattened St. Marys, 33-12, in the Sugar Bowl.

In this afternoon's tussle a passing duel shapes up between Beta's Chet Strawn and Beam's Dick Reich, who have spark-plugged their club's respective offenses throughout the campaign. However, alert defensive play, which both squads have used to advantage all year, probably will spell the difference.

LATEST COLLEGE SURVEY SHOWS LUCKIES LEAD AGAIN
We're not so formal way out west-
We're casual as can be;
But we know, just like everyone,
That L.S./M.F.T.!
Mary Ann Schauermann Colorado State College .
Last year a survey of leading colleges throughout the country showed that smokers in those colleges preferred Luckies to any other cigarette.
This year another nation-wide survey based on thousands of actual student interviews, and representative of all students in regular colleges—shows that Luckies lead again over all brands, regular or king size...and by a wide margin! The No.1 reason: Luckies taste better.
Smoking enjoyment is all a matter of taste, and the fact of the matter is Luckies taste better-for 2 reasons. L.S./M.F.T.-Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. And Luckies are made better to taste better. So, Be Happy-Go Lucky!

But Luckies sell themselves because
