A wide-open offensive battle is expected at Columbia, Mo., Thanksgiving day when Kansas and Missouri meet in the 59th reevaluation of their inter-state feud. By winning, the Jayhawkers would clinch third place in the conference, and a tie for second if Nebraska loses to Oklahoma. A loss would give them fourth.
The game will be carried as the game of the week over A.B.C. with Harry Wismer doing the play-by-play. Kickoff time is 2 p.m.
It will be Kansas' running against Missouri's mixture of running and passing plays—with the balance possibly laying in the Tigers' passing. Kansas must continue the fine pass
defense it is displayed against Kansas State if it is to halt its arch rivals.
Kansas has thrown up a defense inside its 20-yard line the last four games that opponents have found mighty tough to go through. However nine times the enemy has
passed over it to touchdowns. Two other touchdowns were set up by passes and two were the result of intercepted passes. Only two of the 15 touchdowns scored by the opposition in the last four games came solely on ground thrusts.
Missouri, with quarterback Phil Klein and halfbacks John Glioioso and Bob Henley throwing, has gained nearly 1,000 yards through the air. Seven touchdowns have been scored on passes. Gene Ackermann, an end that Coach Don Faurot high-jacked from the Tiger basketball squad, is the leading pass receiver. His catches have totaled 347 yards, the fifth best mark in the conference.
Glorioso and Junior Wren are the leading Tiger ball carriers. They are far down the Big Seven rushing list with 386 and 350 yards respec-
Missouri out-lasted the Jayhawkers in last year's battle at Lawrence, 34 to 28. KU. overcame a 27 to 7 halftime lead to go ahead 28 to 27 early in the fourth quarter. The Tigers scored the winning touchdown on a 35-yard Glorioso pass. The 28 points were the most scored by Kansas against Missouri in 19 years.
The Jayhawkers lead 27 to 24 in the series, with seven ties. However Kansas has won only three of the last 15 meetings-1943, 1946, and 1947. Its last victory in the series clinched an Orange bowl bid for the K.U. team.

13 Seniors Will Play Last Game Thursday
Thursday's K.U.-Missouri game will be the last college football appearance for 13 Jayhawker players. The seniors include six offensive starters and four defensive starters.
Heading the list of seniors are co-captains Johnny Amberg and Mike McCormack, fullback and tackle respectively. Other regulars are Chuck O'Neal and Lyn Smith, ends; John Idowx, Bill Mace, and Dolph Simons, guards; S. P. Garnett and Bob Talkington, tackles; and Wade Stenson, halfback. Reserves who are completing their college careers are tackle Tom Nelson, halfback Henry Lamping, and fullback Gene Cox.
The center of the Kansas line will be hit hardest by graduation with three guards and four tackles going. This may be Kansas' weak point next year.
McCormack is Kansas' nomination for Big Seven lineman of the year. He has played both offense and defense and has turned in a good performance every game. His blocking in the line is one of the big reasons why Kansas is setting new rushing marks this season.
Amberg is one of the finest blockers on the Jayhawker team and has opened the way for a number of touchdowns with key blocks. He is currently eighth on the Big Seven rushing lists with 402 yards and a 5.7 yard average a carry.
Smith played his best game of the year Saturday against Kansas State. He caught three passes for 124 yards and moved to sixth in the conference in this department. His total is currently 309 yards and four touchdowns. O'Neal has been used chiefly on defense this season. He teams
Talkington has been a mainstay in K.U.'s hard-blocking offensive line. He has also logged some time on defense, chiefly against Oklahoma. The big Texan has been one of Kansas' most consistent performers this season. Garnett has been used as a defensive tackle. Shadrack is a hard charger and has the knack to size up the opponents' plays. Nelson, the tallest man of the K.U. squad at 6 feet 5 inches, has dislayed enough fight and hard work to make the K.U. traveling squad this year. He has seen action in almost every game.
with Orbon Tice to give Kansas one of the finest pair of defensive wingmen in the conference.
Stinson has broken every K.C. rushing record in existence for a single season. The Randall speedster has scored 13 touchdowns and gained 1,027 yards. He sees some service on defense and is an adequate blocker. Lamping played his best game of the season Saturday against Kansas State. He scored one touchdown and ran and tackled hard. Cox has been hampered throughout his college career by injuries. The Lawrence fullback has seen limited action this season.
Idoux has started most games at a defensive guard spot for Kansas. He is after his third letter this season. Mace, the man with the odd-looking headgear, has given Kansas some fine linebacking this year. He was shifted to guard from fullback. Mace averaged 38 yards a kick as Kansas' regular punter last year. Simons, who won the punting job from Mace this year, is one of the nation's leading kickers with a better than 40-yard average. Dolph has started every game on offense and has teamed with McCormack to give Kansas' right side great blocking.
Ten of the seniors started out together on the 1947 freshman team. There were 104 players on that frush squad, so fewer than 10 per cent have survived the four years.

LEADING THE TIGER aerial attack this Thursday will be Bob Henley and Phil Klein, two of the conference's leading passers. Klein delights in short passes to his battery mate, big Gene Ackermann. Henley, on the other hand, concentrates on long aerials over the heads of the opponents' secondary to halfbacks, Harold Carter and John Glorioso. Henley alternates between quarterback and halfback duties. Both men are able punters.
