Traditional Jayhawk-Tiger Scrap Is Expected to Draw Large Crowd For Homecoming Game Tomorrow
Weather permitting, the largest crowd of the Big Six season, 8,000 persons, are expected to be on hand at 2:30 tomorrow for the 52nd renewal of the traditional grid rivalry between the Universities of Kansas and Missouri in Memorial stadium.
Kansas has won 24 victories to Missouri's 20, with seven ties. The Jayhawks piled up their victories, thanks to a speedy start and a nice profit from the Tiger's hapless regime under Frank Carideo. However, Kansas has never defeated a Don Faurot-coached team and Chancey Simpson, who has taken over until Faurot's return from the navy, hopes to prolong that record with a victory tomorrow.
Jayhawk Conch Henry Shenk's only comment is that a band of battlers will take the field for the Crimson and Blue.
Using a tricky "T" formation, Missouri's attack is built around big Don "Bull" Reece, who is playing his fourth year for the Tigers along with ends Ekern and Morton. The Tigers are heavy favorites despite the loss of Bill Dellastatious, star halfback, who injured his elbow in the Oklahoma game, Replacing him will be Pete Ihm, number two quarter back.
Kansas has lost veteran tackle, Junius Penny, who injured his knee in the Nebraska game, and three regular backs, Carson, Barrington and Bergin. The latter contracted influenza before the Warrensburg game. Bill Mowery, who starred in last week's Warrensburg game, will start at the fullback slot despite a wek knee.
The Missouri team will stay tonight in Kansas City where a pep rally will be held by alumni.

Greatest Attack Crumbles Berlin, Ludwigshafen
The all-out Allied air offensive against Germany mounted to a new pitch of intensity today.
Flying fortresses of the U. S. army air force hit targets during the daylight hours, hard on the heels of a series of night attacks by the Royal air force which set a new record in tonnage of bombs dropped and probably in the extent of damage done.
Early announcements did not reveal the targets of the American bombers. But the RAF attacked Berlin and Ludwigshafen in force, dropping a total of more than 2,500 tons of bombs upon the cities.
The dual raids exceeded in strength the record-breaking attacks on Hamburg July 27. There was every indication that more than 1,000 heavy bombers participated.
It was disclosed that' RAF night attacks are approaching the position of daytime operations through use of a superflare, a fighting device so powerful it makes ground targets fairly visible from the substratosphere.
