By RON PHILLIPS
Kansan Sports Writer
Experience proved to be the major factor in the class intramural football tourney held yesterday as the junior and senior class squads downed their underclass rivals.
A first quarter surge of scoring enabled the juniors to slide past the freshmen 15 to 6. Taking the kickoff, the juniors marched the length of the gridiron to score. Jim Morehead, junior quarterback, cappaced to Marshall with a 9-yard pass to John Brose in the freshman end zone.
The freshmen eight quickly gave the ball to the seniors when John Strawn intercepted a pass from Carl Ade on the kickoff. Again the juniors passed through the freshman secondary. After a continuous drive into freshman territory, Strawn scored for the juniors.
The freshman squad came to in the second half. Ade passed 30 yards to Ralph Wallace, freshman end, placing the ball on the senior 5-yard line. The seniors came through with their backs to the wall, however, and held the freshmen to four downs.
Barny Speckam, freshman defensive back, sparked the freshman secondary in the second half and stopped the upperclass passing attack.

A 30 yard aerial from Ade to Bob Shirley in the final period saved the freshmen from a shutout. Using a spread formation the freshmen rolled 70 yards from scrimmage before Shirley snagged Ade's deflected pass.
Al Armstrong paced his senior all-star team by throwing two touchdown passes as the sophomores lost 13 to 7.
The seniors struck the first period on a 20 yard pass from Armstrong to Deuge. A hard charging sophomore line blocked the conversion attempt.
Fighting back in the second quarter, the sophomores broke through the senior secondary for a tally. John Wynkoop, sophomore tailback, evaded a host of senior defensive men and passed 20 yards to Bill Gibbs for the touchdown. Wynkoop put the sophomores into the lead when his pass was good to Dick Ressler for the conversions.
The officials for the class tourney are Tom Ridder, Jerry Lysaught, Chuck Shanahan, Bob McMullen, Bill Farrar, and Don Weekly.
Their lead was short lived, however, for Armstrong iced the game in the third quarter with a 15 yard touchdown pass to Bob Meier.
Today's games will be the seniors meeting the juniors for the class championship on field one at 4 p.m. and the freshman meeting the sophomores for consolation on field two at 4 p.m.

Grid Rally Slated For Columbia Hotel
A pre-game pep rally will be held at 11:30 Saturday morning in Columbia, in the lobby of the Daniel Boone hotel, headquarters for the Kansas football team.
The rally will take place as the Kansas football team boards bussses for Memorial stadium, site of the KU-MU game.
All students driving to the Missouri game are urged to get an early start in order to arrive in time to take part in this rally.
Saturday's gridiron clash between Kansas and Missouri at Columbia will mark the end of the collegiate football trail for some 18 seniors, but these fine athletes and young men will not soon be forgotten for the part they have played in Jayhawker athletic history the past three years.
Tennessee over Kentucky—Barring premature New Year hangover. Duke over North Carolina—Upset could save Snavely's job.

The Southwest
These three years have produced ups and downs in Kansas football, but these battling gridiron seniors have given their all and have compiled an impressive overall 21-8 won and lost record.
Probably no senior group (over a three year period, 1950, '51 and '52) has ever compiled a more impressive record under the excellent coaching of Jules V. Sikes and his assistants than has the present group.
Names of such offensive back-field starters as co-captain Charlie Hoag, left halfback; Bob Brandeberry, right halfback; Galen Fiss, fullback, and field-general and quarterback Jerry Robertson will not soon be forgotten. And of course, big Oliver Spencer, co-captain and right tackle, has done much to clear a path up front with his blocking.
And on the defense, George Mrkonic, left tackle, and four backfield aces have turned in extra fine performances Saturday after Saturday. These backs are Merlin Gish and Fiss, linebackers; Gil Reich, defensive left halfback, and safeties Hal Cleavinger.
Fiss and Reich have shown excellent double-duty ability. Reich has given KU a great one-two punch at quarterback and Fiss has rocked 'em and blasted 'em with his tackling and running.
Victory or defeat means the difference of finishing in a second place tie with Missouri (4-2) or in a fourth place deadlock with Colorado (3-3) in the final Big Seven standings.
The seniors will be going "all-out" to win their final collegiate game. Saturday's game is a "must" victory for the Jayhawkers.
The team will be giving its "all" for victory. As students, we owe Coach Sikes, his staff and team 100 per cent support at Columbia.
Let's give the Jayhawkers their best cheering section of the year Saturday and make every effort to help some 18 seniors return home with a victory.

Regents Tell OU to Stay

1834 Mass.
Action by the Regents of the University of Oklahoma put an end to bowl hopes for the bowl-hungry Sooners.
The Regents, who were forced into a special meeting by action of the players yesterday, adopted a resolution which said:
"Oklahoma belongs to the Big Seven conference and has followed its rules in the past and should follow them in the future." Bowl games have been banned by the Big Seven conference.
The vote by which the motion was adopted was 5-1. One regent telephoned his vote in to the meeting. The dissenting vote was by Quinton Little of Ardmore, Okla, who told reporters that, "I just don't agree."
Members of the board were reluctant to make the decision. They want a bowl game badly. That fact was indicated by the decision last week which would give the green light to the team if it decided to go to the Orange bowl.
Oklahoma did not receive an invitation to the Orange Bowl, but bowl game officials in Miami, Fla., said that if the Sooners decided to ignore the Big Seven ban, they would be sent an invitation immediately.

Hank Sauer Named NL Most Valuable
Hank Sauer, the Chicago Cubs' long-ball hitter, was named the National League's most valuable player in a three-way battle in which the Chicago left fielder beat out pitchers Robin Roberts of the Phillies and rookie Joe Black of the Dodgers.
Sauer, who drove in 121 runs to top both major leagues as he paced the Cubs out of the cellar and into fifth place in the 1952 campaign, thus became the first man from a second division club to win the honor since Jake Daubert did it in 1913 with the Dodgers.
Last year, 37,100 Americans were killed in traffic accidents.
