AVC Will Meet In Union Tonight
Mountain? What Mountain?
We Run Up That Hill!
Puffing heavily at the top of the 14th street hill, a florid-faced, rotund man stopped a stadium-bound K. U. sudent and gasped:
"I came up here thinking Missouri would win, but I've just changed my mind. Any bunch of guys who can climb this mountain each day and still play football ought to be able to wallop Notre Dame."

WEATHER
Queen Carolyn Receives A Kiss From Governor
The Homecoming queen and her two attendants met Gov. Frank Carlson, the traditional tom tom was presented to Kansas, and the University flag was hoisted over the site of the proposed memorial carillon at 40,043 fans cheered and shivered in the cold air Saturday.
Queen Carolyn Campbell, attendants Carol Harris and Martha Hutchison, were introduced by Chancellor Deane W. Malott after being escorted by the army and navy R.O.T.C. honor guard. Carolyn was soundly kissed by Mr. Carlson and all three of the young ladies received bouquets.
The governor was escorted by Cadet Capt. Robert Franklin. The chancellor's guide was Midshipman Leo Mendenhall. Franklin presented a bouquet to Mrs. Carlson.
The drum ceremony was conceived by George Bowles, who wrote the song, "Tm A Jayhawk," and Lyle Kendig, Kansas City insurance man.
The ceremony executed by the two honorary fraternities of the opposing schools — Sachem, of the University, and the Gold Key of Missouri. Five members of each received the drum from a student of Haskell institute and did an Indian war dance.
Nearly 100 of the 300 "Tiger Claws." Missouri's pep club made the trip. Led by ten cheerleaders, they did their best to inspire the luckless Tigers.
The 97-piece, all male band of Missouri university, spelled out "K.U." and "M.U." at the beginning of the halftime intermission.
Play was halted in the third quarter when Missouri's coach protested the action of over-enthusiastic Javahawks high in the east stadium.

Students To Vote On Ban
Let's All Turn Out For The 3 p.m. Rally

The University of Nebraska student council Saturday passed a resolution calling for Nebraska to withdraw from the conference if the racial barriers were not eliminated in all conference schools.

of the nation's four unbeaten, untied teams. S. M. U. clinched the host position Saturday by defeating Baylor. Kansas, Georgia Tech, and Mississippi are also under consideration.
Oklahoma Sooners, by nosing Nebraska, 14-13, at Lincoln, earned the other half of the championship tie.
Kansas will finish the season Friday night at Tuscon, Ariz., against the Arizona university Wildcats. It will be Kansas' first hope for an undefeated season since 1923 when the Jayhawkers won five and tied three.
The Missouri victory gave K. U. its first undefeated conference season in Oread history, and, fittingly enough, was played before the largest crowd in Bix Six annals.
Griffith, sophomore fullback, was unstoppable on the ground as he rolled up 111 yards rushing and plunged over for the final Kansas touchdown, after advancing the ball from the eight to the one in three line plays.
Evans was by far the outstanding player of the game. He passed for one touchdown, scored another, and set up the third with another pass. His 194 total yards was almost half the total Kansas offense for the game.
Vicious blocking and hard tackling by Evans were key factors in the Kansas cause, and several times he came in from the safety slot to bring down runners who had only to pass him for a touchdown.
Sooners Share Title
Nick Carras, sophomore halfback from Kansas City, spearhaeded the Missouri running attack. He accounted for 124 yards on the ground, the high rushing total for the game. Dick Braznell was another Missouri wheelhorse as he brought in 80 yards rushing and passing. Last-Minute Lightning
For the second time in three weeks, the Jayhawkers resorted to their "last-minute lightning" as they marched 94 yards to score the winning touchdown with 65 seconds remaining.
After an earlier drive from the nine had failed, Kansas started on its own six with Evans and Griffith showing the way. From the Missouri 34. Evans passed to Bud
