Through the years, Southern Methodist university has shown that it is a hard team to beat in its own Cotton Bowl. The Mustangs have battled some of the nation's greatest teams there and walked away with upset wins or at least impressive losses.
And this year the Mustangs will be shooting for their best season record since the championship clubs of 1947 and 1948—the years when all-American Doak Walker paced the SMU attack.
Under Coach R. N. "Rusty" Russell, Southern Methodist has compiled a 7-4 non-conference record in intersectional battles.
During Coach Russell's two years as head coach, the Mustangs have won two of the greatest intersectional victories in the history of the school. In 1950, SMU scored three touchdowns in the last quarter to overcome a 17-point lead held by Ohio State to gain a 32-27 victory over the Buckeyes before 80,000 in Columbus, Ohio.
And last year, his team achieved even greater recognition when it scored a 27-20 victory over the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame as millions watched the thrilling encounter on television.
millions watched the thrilling time As far as the Big Seven is concerned, Southern Methodist has maintained a laudatory record. The Mustangs have compiled an all-time 7-4-3 record in meeting three of the conference schools.
an all-time 1-43 record in the Nebraska SMU has won seven games, lost two and tied one against Missouri. Against mighty Oklahoma, the Mustangs have lost one and tied one. They have made the same record against Nebraska.
They have made the same record. This year is the beginning of a four year series for Kansas with SMU. It is a home-away arrangement with the second and the fourth games being played in Memorial stadium.

COACH J. V. SIKES
For Jayhawker Coach J. V.
Sikes, the trip to Dallas will be a
sort of homecoming. Coach Sikes
was graduated from Texas A&M
in 1928. His hometown is Leonard
—a town about 70 miles from
Dallas. His wife is from Green-
ville which is about 40 miles from
Dallas.
But Coach Sikes will not be going to Dallas just to greet old friends and see familiar territory. He will be aiming for his third straight win over a Southwest conference team in two years. Last year the Jayhawkers stopped the TCU Horned Frogs on their home ground 27-12 in Fort Worth. They did the same trick this year in Memorial stadium this year to the tune of 13-0. SMU is the next Southwest conference team on Coach Sikes' list.
Actually, the Jayhawker mentor has had quite a bit of experience with the rugged Southwest conference. The tall, lean Texan earned nine letters in football, basketball and baseball at Texas A&M in his school days. He was an all-Southwest conference end selection in 1927 and an all-West selection in 1928.
— BEAT SMU —
RALLY! RALLY! RALLY! will be the cry of the Kansas fans in Dallas Saturday morning for the KU-SMU game.
A special train carrying about 300 alumni, students, Kansas fans and the University Band will unload in Dallas about 8:30 a.m., at the Union station. The band will lead a parade into the busy downtown Dallas area.
The Dallas alumni plans to meet the train with a real Texas welcome. That of course means wide-brimmed hats, dude clothes and the traditional cowboy boots.
And the Kansas fans are planning to greet the Texans in the Kansas style. The rooters are planning to take KU banners, crimson and blue streamers, megaphones, cowbells and noisemakers of every kind.
To add to the effectiveness of the parade and rally, all students driving to Dallas for the game are urged to decorate their cars and meet the special train. The more color and the more persons that can be added to the parade and rally, the more effective it will be.
SO LOOK OUT DALLAS,
SO LOOK OUT DAILIES,
THE JAYHAWKERS ARE MOVING IN!!

'Phog' to Guide Collegiate Squad
Kansas basketball coach F. C.
"Phor" Allen is readying a strong collegiate squad for its contest with the Minneapolis Lakers in the 13th annual All-Star basketball classic in Chicago stadium Friday night.
The KU mentor will have the talents of several tall men at his disposal, as well as the services of several shorter, but fast, players.
The group of tall one consists of Mark Workman, 6 feet 9 inches, West Virginia; Don Meineke, 6 feet 7 inches, Dayton, and Rod Fleether, 6 feet 4 inches, Illinois.
COACH PHOG ALLEN
This towering trio will be Coach Allen's major defense against the big George Mikan of the Lakers, who, to steal a Red Barber simile, "looks like a bunch of fingers falling out of a tree." The towering star of the National Basketball association will prove one of Coach Allen's biggest problems in the clash.
Thursday, Oct. 23, 1952
The remainder of Coach Allen's collegiate squad consists of Jack McMahon and Bob Zawoluk, St. John's; Leroy Leslie, Notre Dame; Carl McNulty, Purdue; Don Holt, Tulane; Nick Kladis, Loyola of Chicago; Bill Stauffer, Missouri; Dick Groat, Duke, and Gene Smith, Xavier.
Coach Frank McGuire of North Carolina, who is assisting Coach Allen in the contest, claims that Radovich is in good form, and that the "Lakers will have to hurry to beat him."
Also outstanding in the collegiate squad of 14 men are Moe Radovich, 5 feet 10 inches, Wyoming, and Bobby Watson, 5 feet 11 inches, Kentucky. These men should round out Phog's starting five.
KU Grid Frosh Battle Kansas State Tonight
Coach Hub Ulrich's Kansas freshman football team will play Kansas State's yearlings at 7:30 tonight in Memorial stadium in Manhattan.
"Injuries have hurt us and caused the shifting of personnel at several spots," Ulrich said today before boarding a bus for the K-State game. "We're untested and have had little time to perfect an offense." Ulrich added.
Tenight's game between the young Jayhawkers and Wildcats is the first of two frosh games for KU, the limit established by the Big Seven conference.
On Oct. 31, Kansas will play host to the Missouri Tiger fresh team in Memorial stadium. This contest
is the day before KU's mass migration to Manhattan for the KU-K-State clash.
