UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE SEVEN
By OZZIE BARTELLI Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Kansas is aiming for its fourth straight win over State tomorrow, and according to league railbirds and parlay boys, the coast is clear. They could be wrong, but State will have to do something more than mere wishful thinking to upset the Jayhawks this time.
That loss irked the Hawkers enough to carry them through such lopsided wins as 27 to 0, 34 to 0, and 55 to 0, during the past three years, to amass a total of 116 points while the Wildcats zeroed in each Kansas sweep.
We say "this time" because there have been times when K-State tripper the 'Hawkers, most recent being the 18 to 14 victory the men from Manhattan slipped-off with in 1944 when halfback Charlie Moffett's 82-yard touchdown run, in the last 12 seconds of play, was nullified by a clipping penalty. Maybe the Jay-hawks won a moral victory, but the record shows for the Wildcats.
The State boys have one consolation. Their last conference win was at the expense of the Jayhawks. So, if the Cats are doing the serious training our informers insist they're doing, then anything can happen.
Remembering that a Wildcat triumph would snap an embarrassing string of 2I consecutive conference setbacks, we want to warn against possible Kansas overconfidence lest a repeat of the Missouri-type surprise overtakes the Sikesmen.
Kansas will go into the game

MV Vikings Eye Victory Number 40 For Ashford
Marshall Mo., Nov. 12 — (UP) Only a reversal now considered not even remotely probable would keep Missouri Valley college from running its siring of consecutive wins to 40 tonight, or one more than the string of 39 won by the University of Washington starting in 1908.
of Washington Missouri Valley has won 39 games in a row under coach Volney Ashford, including 10 before he left the school to serve the military and 29 since he returned.
The lapse, which included one game in 1941 and nine in 1942, saw the Navy take over football here. Naval trainees scheduled games from week to week, ran their own show and got their coaching from books which their football tutors bought in drugstores.
Missouri Valley will go after No. 40 at the expense of William Jewell college at Liberty, Mo. The Vikings are rated, conservatively, about seven touchdowns better than their MCAU rival.
The school contends stoutly that the V-12 team in no manner truly represented Missouri Valley on the gridiron, and refuses to consider its string of consecutive wins broken by the intrusion of Uclee Sam.
Confidentially, however, Missouri Valley looked forward today to a real test on Thanksgiving day against
concerned over its defense. Two rocks will be conspicuously absent, Dick Mourou, ole man Gibraltar himself, and Dave Schmidt, the immovable anchor. Monroe is still suffering from a wrenched knee, while Schmidt is nursing a lame shoulder.
shoulder.
The bright spot in the KU. line-up will be langy, pass-snagging Darell Norris', who will be filling Schmidt's shoes. Considering the Jayhawk habit of capitalizing on speed and aerial fireworks, Norris' circus-catches will round-out Kansas' plans of firing over the husky Wildcat law.
Down in Soonerland it's anybody's guess at what may happen to the Huskers when they face Mitchell, Burris, and company. The ponderous Nebraska line may make it worthwhile for at least half the contest, but there's little chance of its surviving the second half, and as Missouri will testify, that's what counts in any tussle with the Sooners.
The Woman's Place, Etc.
Manton, Mich. — (UP)—Manton voters decided a woman's place was in the home. They re-elected Leon Wilson treasurer with 336 votes, and gave his wife, who was running against him for the office, 49 votes.

The Vikings were cheered this week by the return of Hugh Dunn, sensational one-handed Quarterback of last season, to the Missouri Valley coaching staff.
