Japanese Official Released On Parole
Tokyo, —(U.P.)— Gen. Douglas MacArthur released former Japanese foreign minister Mamoru Shigemitsu from prison as a war criminal on parole today in defiance of Russia.

With Ole Man Winter dealing the Jayhawkers a death blow, Kansas fumbled away the oblate spheroid—better known as a football—eight times and a probable second place tie in the final Big Seven standings as they were upset by the Missouri Tigers, 20 to 6, at Columbia, Mo., on Thanksgiving day.
Five Kansas touchdown drives were stopped by fumbles and two more fumbles led directly to Missouri touchdowns.
The game was played in 17 degree weather accompanied with a strong northwesterly wind that varied from 20 to 30 miles an hour during the contest. Slightly more than half the 34,500 seats sold were occupied by the Missouri homecoming crowd.
With Kansas' star halfbacks, Charlie Hoag and Wade Stinson, each fumbling three times, Missouri found a great assistant in stopping the visitor's strong offensive attack. In K.U.'s two previous games—with Kansas State and Oklahoma—Kansas did not lose the ball.
Phil Klein Bill Hampel
Of the 13 times the Jayhawkers got possession of the ball in the Missouri game, eight times it was lost by fumbles.
For Missouri, right halfback Ed Stephens stole the show on offense and defense. He was the game's leading ground gainer with 122 yards on 22 carries and recovered four K.U. fumbles while playing a prominent role on defense.
Coach Jules V. Sikes' club, manned by sophomores at several key positions, finished the 1950 season with a respectable 6-4 record, one notch better than its 5-5 record for 1949.
The playing field was in excellent shape thanks to a tarpaulin that caught an early morning two-inch snowfall. This large covering was removed shortly before game time.
In the Big Seven race, Missouri took third with a 3-2-1 record followed by Kansas with a 3-3 record

Bud Wilkinson's Oklahoma Sooners rolled to their third straight undefeated league title with a 6-0 record.
After receiving the opening kick-off, Missouri needed only nine plays to take a 6 to 0 lead as Stephens scored around left end from 10 yards out. This drive covered 65 yards and was highlighted by a 32-yard pass from quarterback Phil Klein to big Gene Ackermann, right end.
John Glorioso's conversion attempt was good to give the Tigers a 7 to 0 margin with 4:35 minutes gone.
George Mrkonic, K.U. guard, recovered a short Missouri kickoff on the K.U. 44-yard line. With Hoag, Stinson, and John Amberg carrying the ball, Kansas moved deep into Tiger territory.
With the ball on the 22-yard line, Hoag swept wide around right end for 10 yards to the 12 where his fumble was recovered by Missouri's Bill Burkhart.
On the Jayhawkers' first play, Stinson knifed through the Missouri line for KU.'s only touchdown with 8:10 minutes played. Fox Cashell's
On Tigers' first play, Klein's pitchout to Junior Wren was wild and Aubrey Linville recovered for Kansas on the M.U. 3-yard line.
conversion was wide and Kansas trailed, 6 to 7.
A short time later, Hal Cleawinger intercepted a Klein pass on the K.U. 44. After three plays netted only three yards, Dolph Simons, Kansas' great punter, got away a 50-yard kick that rolled out on the Tiger 3-yard line.
Fine defensive play by the Kansas line held M.U. on the 10-yard line and Klein booted out on his own 42.
On the first play, Hoag threw a beautiful pass to Amberg that moved the Kansas 13-yard line. The Kansas co-act, almost went all the way on the play.
Two plays later, Stinson dashed through a wide gap in the Missouri line to move to the 7-yard line where he humbled and Harold Carter recovered for the Tigers. It was a fumble and not the Missouri defense that saved the Tigers on this occasion.
Four plays later—two plays into the second quarter—a Klein pass
John Gleriosso Ed Stephens
was intercepted by linebacker Jack Luschen on the M.U. 37 where he returned it to the Tigers' 23 before the clusive ball was lost on a fumble to Stephens.
Missouri drove 70 yards before the K.U. line halted the Tigers on the K.U. 7-yard line with six minutes plowed in the second quarter.
Hoag fumbled on the first KU. play and again Stephens was at the right place to recover for the Tigers on the 10-vard line.
Great play by the Kansas line held the Tigers on the one-foot line in the game's best defensive display.
Running plays by Strehlow and Stinson lacked inches of a first down on the K.U. 10-yard line. On the next play, Hoag picked up what would have been a first down to the 12 only to fumble with Stephens again recovering the loose ball.
Three plays later Bill Houston,
211-mound M.U. fullback, rammed
over right guard to score and give the Tigers a 13 to 6 lead. Galen Fiss broke through to block Glorioso's conversion attempt with 5:20 minutes remaining in the half.
Starting on the K.U. 23, eight running plays gave Kansas a first down on the Missouri 29-yard line. After a pair of rushing and passing plays failed to produce a first down, M.U. took over on its own 25, seconds before the half ended. This marked only the second time the Tigers had stopped the Jayhawkers' offense, with K.U. fumbles providing the best defensive strength they could muster.
After an exchange of punts at the start of the second half, Kansas moved to the Missouri 35. With third and four, Stinson moved to the 36-yard line for what would have been a first down except for a fumble which was recovered by Bill Fuchs. Again a fumble and not the Missouri defense. cut. short. a. Jayhawker touchdown drive.
Missouri took advantage of this break and marched 70 yards to score its third and final touchdown. Stephens smashed over from the two-yard line to end the drive that required 10 plays. Glorioso added the extra point and Kansas trailed 20 to 6 with 18:25 minutes remaining in the game.
Following the kickoff, Kansas marched from its 37-yard line to the Missouri three-yard line in 12 plays before Stinson's fumble ended the drive.
Phi Gam's Defeat Beta's To Cop "B" Title
Again a Kansas fumble and not the Missouri defense had stopped the Jayhawkers.
On the fifth M.U. play, Dean Wells recovered a Houston fumble on the Missouri 37.
Three running plays by Hogg gave Kansas a first down on the Missouri 16-yard line. The M.U. defense finally held and took over on downs on its own nine-yard line with six minutes left in the game.
Missouri controlled the ball the remainder of the way except for a Cleveringer interception of a Klein pass on the final play of the game.
With four minutes remaining, Wells returned a Klein punt from the Kansas 41 to the Missouri 45-yard line where he fumbled and Stephens again found himself planted in the charmed spot for the recovery on the M.U. 40.

The fighting Phi Gamma Delta "B" team copped the intramural "B" league all-University championship in a game played Nov. 20 by decisively defeating the Beta "C" team, the independent "B" league champs, by a score of 20 to 6.
couldn't reach a bad pass from center. The ball rolled into the end zone where he recovered, only to be swarmed by the entire Phi Gam line and two more points were chalked up for the Phi Gam's.
CLYDE LOVELLETTE!
That ended the scoring as time ran out and the Phi Gam's claimed the Hill championship.
Though neither team scored in the first quarter, the Beta dominated the play. Larry Wassmer, Beta passer, succeeded in leading his team to one first down as he completed to Lee Phillips for 10 yards, Bob Swisher for 12, and then ran the ball through the middle of the line for 5 more.
The record keepers say he's too much trouble!
The Phi Gam line then stiffened and the Beta advance changed direction. Jim Gurley broke through to tag Wassmer for a loss, and, on the next play, caused him to throw too quickly and Michener of the Phi Gam's intercepted.
Following John Prosser's kick-off the Beta pass defense, which was excellent, asserted itself when Wassmer intercepted a Porter pass.

But the Beta's were unable to capitalize and Mike McNally kicked to put the Phi Gam's on the offense well in their own territory. Michon took over the passing duties and threw one into the waiting rams of enemy Bob Swisher who scampered down the sidelines for a Beta touchdown.
In the second period, the Phi Gam's suffered from penalties, which were plentiful throughout the game, and Michener was forced to punt from his own 1-ward line.
Woody Davis, of the Phi Gam secondary, returned the favor and snagged a Wassmer aerial. Porter's passes began finding receivers. Lonnie Thomas made a beautiful catch and carried it to the 1-foot line. Porter then displayed his famous jump pass as he slammed the ball just over the line to Davis for the touchdown that tied the game.
The Wassmer pass for the extra point was incomplete.
BASKETBALL,1951
Porter still could not convert.
The Phi Gam's continued to control the ball for most of the final period. After an exchange of punts late in the quarter, the Beta's took over. Wassmer, back to throw,
Porter's kick was wide and the score remained 6 all at the half.
In the third, the Beta's began to march. A sleeper play from Wassmer to Harold Greenleaf netted 35 yards. Wassmer then completed short passes to Swisher and Bill Nulton. McNalley caught two for a first down. Wassmer again connected, this time to Swisher for 25, but a penalty brought it back to midfield and the Beta's lost the ball on downs.
The Phi Gam's dominated the play for the remainder of the game. They scored again in the fourth quarter on a long pass from Porter to Michener who managed to grab the ball after it had been deflected by both opponents and fall into the end zone for the touchdown.
Porter immediately hit Davis on the Beta 20-yard line. Only a few plays later, Porter's jump pass worked again to Davis for a T.D., but Porter missed the mark with his conversion attempt.
