KANSAS AND MISSOURI
Kansas, minus the services of Ulrich, Long, and Evans, will whip Missouri, unbeaten and Bowl-bound, when they clash this coming Saturday in Memorial Stadium. The final score will be Kansas 34, Missouri 26. Last week Kansas downed Kansas State 20-16. This corner called it a Jayhawk victory by a 19-13 count.
The experts already have the game won by Missouri from 27 points on up to unheard of margins. However, Henry and Faurot can each have only 11 men on the field at a time Saturday, and no matter how rugged those 11 Tigers are, there are just 11 of them, Steuber, Ice, and Wade are fast and good but so were Wilkins and Zeleznak of the Aggies. Zeleznak had the most sensational record in the Big Six until he hit Lawrence, Kansas.
Early this season, it was suggested that the boys accept as their motto, "a team that won't be beat, can't be beat." As far as home games are concerned the Kansas varsity has fulfilled these words in the traditional style of fighting Kansans. Iowa State and Kansas State, much to their regret, under-estimated our Jayhawkers on the field.
Many of the varsity—Urlrich, Fluker, Meade, Merkel, Kern, Gibbens, Miller, Schaake, Vandaveer, and Linquist will be wearing the colors of the Crimson and the Blue into battle for the last time. It would be the biggest upset of the nation if we could knock off Missouri, and win, lose, or draw, Gwin Henry and Jayhawkers—the student body are for you 100 per cent. Missouri isn't invincible!
CALLING THE HARD ONES
Hold your breath and look this week's toss-ups over carefully. Michigan, our nomination as the country's best, will whip an Ohio State eleven which has six wins in seven starts, by at least two six-pointers. Nebraska will finally climb upon the victory ladder by registering a touchdown more than Iowa, Temple, an in-and-out team, will take Holy Cross to town.
Last weekend was the "killer" on outcomes and it was too rough for this corner. This corner's winning percentage for the season now rests at .700, 98 correct out of 140 attempts. Last Saturday's soothsaying had this column right on 10 games and wrong on 10 games.
Alabama rates two scores better than a fine Vanderbilt crew. Columbia, despite their 28-0 loss to Michigan last week, will best Colgate in a toss-up. Pennsylvania over Cornell in one of the day's features. Billy H昂brand of Indiana will close a fine sophomore season in a blaze of glory in piloting the Hoosiers to a decision over their state rivals. Purdue.
Fordham will breeze by St. Mary's, Notre Dame will finish the season unbeaten with an impressive slaughter of Southern California, and Oklahoma will have a little too much for Stidham's Golden Avalanche from Marquette. Penn State is scheduled to startle a revived Pittsburgh squad.
The two service teams will brush up for their great battle next week. Navy should find Princeton, victor over Yale, an easy set-up, and Army looms three touchdowns better than West Virginia. Wisconsin's Harder will tally at least twice on Minnesota, but the Gophers will roll up a 20-point margin of victory. Georgia, with Sinkwich riding high, will wallop a fair Dartmouth team.
Here are four potential upsets. Illinois, in a final bid for Zuppke, may knock off Northwestern. Rice is due to throttle Texas Christian, conqueror of Texas. Iowa State will bump off Kansas State while Yale, spotting Harvard 21 points, figures to produce the East's biggest surprise.
Missouri's Spark-Plug
HARRY ICE—QUARTERBACK
Key Men of Sooner-Hilltopper Clash
BEAT MISSOURI!!!!
Coach Ray Donels slightly revamped his Iowa State line yesterday by shifting LeVerne McGraw, regular tackle, to the center post. Bob Ash will take McGraw's position at tackle against Kansas State Saturday.
(continued from page four) cock, center, would be in shape. Hancock entered the college hospital suffering from influenza and will likely not be at top strength for the Cyclone battle.
PHI GAM'S----
(continued from page four)
Ted Scott, passer Bill Mowery, and ace pass receiver John Short round out the star-studded line-up from Tennessee street.
Handling the ball on every play this season, Phi Psi Bill Hodge has been a consistent standout. Pass snaggers Mike Sheridan and Jack Horner are constant Psi scoring threats. Walt Jones and Bob Gilliland are the Psi's line's powerhouses
The only Phi Psi loss was to the Phi Gam's 2-0, and two of their triumphs, over Kappa Sigma 6-3 and Sigma Chi 12-7, were spectacular to see. Likewise the Beta's have chalked up some sparkling wins. In downing the Delta Chi's they set a season high-scoring mark, walloping the Chi's 45-0. Other games of interest were their 15-6 win over the Pfilgerville Pflashes and 6-0 triumph over the Phi Delt's. The Theta Tau's gave the Beta's their single setback 6-0.
