This will be the forty-seventh meeting of the intra-state feud. A record breaking crowd is expected.
The Kansas Jayhawkers will aim their double-barrelled passing attack on Kansas State tomorrow in Memorial stadium.
For the first time since 1844, the contest will be a toss-up. The Wildcats opened fast with a 55 to 0 walloping of Fort Hays State and 26 to 13 conquest of Colorado. They also battled Nebraska and Iowa State to tight decisions, bowing, 6 to 13 to the Cornhuskers, and 21 to 25 at Ames.
However, they ran into an upset defeat last Saturday at Memphis when Memphis State scored a 21 to 14 stummer, after the Wildcats its terrific fullback Gerald Hackney with a second quarter leg injury.
Use Twin Passers
Meanwhile J. V. Sikes' Jayhawkers have pulled out of an early season slump to cop two of their last three starts. Using two T-formation quarterbacks in one unit, Kansas has become sudden death through the air and now explodes without warning from either fuse, Dick Gilman or Jerry Bogue.
This pair plus a group of fleet receivers have been chiefly responsible for Kansas's 81 points the past two Saturdays against Oklahoma and Oklahoma A. and M. K.U. upset the Cowpokes last week, 55 to 14. Its other triumph was scored over George Washington, 22 to 14. O.U., T.C.U., Colorado and Iowa State own victories over the Jayhawkers.
Jayhawker passing has also opened the way for a potent running attack paced by Forrest Griffith, Willie Modricin, and Johnny Amberg. A defense which backsup for passing may see any one of these runners go all the way.
By winning the Jayhawkers can overhaul K-State in the conference standings at 1-3. The Cats can square accounts at 2-2 with a triumph.
Injuries may play an important role on both sides. Kansas may be without the services of one of its top receivers, Aubrey Linville, for a second straight week. The lean sophomore missed the A. and M. struggle because of a sprained ankle and is certain to be below par even if he is ready for duty. Two other wingmen, Orbon Tice, and Darell Norris also are crippled.
A grizzly bear may attain the length of 9 feet and weigh 1,000 pounds.
'New' Defense Too
Not to be overlooked in the explosions of K.U.'s new two-gun passing attack, which has produced 81 points in the last two games, is an improved Jayhawker defense.
One of the reasons for this is a madeover defensive guard named Mike McCormack. The 228-pound junior, a Big Seven all-sophomore tackle last season, will be starting his fourth game as the anchor. If his recent performances mean anything, the Wildcat mid-section will experience a long afternoon.
Coach J. V. Sikes and his line coach, Pop Werner, shifted the big boy from his usual defensive right tackle stand against Geo. Washington's tough single wing. McCormack turned in a respectable performance, and was ready for bigger things.
He played even better in the 26 to 48 loss to mighty Oklahoma and tore loose under a full head of steam last Saturday as K.U. stunned a good Oklahoma A. and M. club, 55 to 14, in Stillwater. Massive Mike thumped the center of Cowpoke line for almost 60 minutes with the result that the Punchers had to run almost all their ground offense to the outside.
He hasn't quit his offensive duties either. Always a good blocker in close line play he teams with Dick Tomlinson, all-conference holdover guard, to give the Jayhawkers a snowplow advancement on the right side.
There have been other contributors to a tightening Kansas line, Wally Rouse, the agile 215-pound senior, has come through at right tackle. S. P. Garnett, an unlettered junior, is a rugged pillar at left tackle. He'll be back in the line Saturday after missing two games with a leg injury.
Charlie O'Neal, squat end, has teamed with Rouse to give the Kansans a swift right side, especially dangerous rushing opposing passers. It was this pair which knocked Aggie Quarterback Jack Hartman loose from the ball last Saturday enabling Carl Ellis to snatch the fumble out of the air and ramble 81 yards for a back-breaking touchdown.
Ellis has played creditably as a linebacker replacing the injured Bob Drumm on the right side. He doubles at offensive left guard. Dean Wells, sophomore, has taken up much of the slack left by Cliff McDonald, the team's fine right half who was kayeoed in the Oklahoma game with a broken wrist.
