Faurot's Tigers Meet Jayhawks This Saturday
The "golden anniversary" of one of the nation's oldest football rivlries will be celebrated at Lawnce, Saturday, when the Kansas layhawkers clash with the Missouri Zigers.
In 1891 the rivalry on the gridiron began, with Kansas winning that first game 22-8. The Jayhawks have held the upper hand over the tigers through the years, the records showing 24 K.U. victories, 18 wins for M.U. and 7 ties. Only in 1918 did the two teams fail to meet. Right now, however, the Mount Oread fans are hungry for Tiger meat. Since Don Faurot took over as head coach at Missouri in 1935, the Jayhawks have failed to win single encounter from the Tigers. The closest they came were scoreless ties in 1935 and 1937.
As is traditional, the Missouri name will be the feature attraction of Homecoming in Lawrence, parades, rallies and decorated houses all will add to the color if the big event.
Missouri will go into the game encoded the biggest edge either cam has rated in many years. The bigers boast a terrific attack, the figures showing M.U. to have the nation's loading team in yards aimed rushing.
How to shackle such gridiron umblers as Harry Ice, Bob Steurer and "Red" Wade is a real problem for Coach Gwinn Henry and his Jaghawkers. Steuber and Wade sat week rudged among the union's top five ground gainers.
Memories of the 1939 Kansas-Missouri game in Lawrence will serve to spur the Jayhawks on, Missouri went to the Orange Bowl hat year, but they came mighty lose to getting derailed by Kansas. Keyed to a high pitch, a Jayhawk cam played the Tigers off their set most of the first half. It was not until late in the first half that break came. Kansas being penalized half the distance to the goal when an hrate K.U. tackle "punted" Missouri end.
That blow broke the Jayhawks' resistance and the Tigers took advantage of it to rush over a touchdown in the final minute of the first half. Two more touchdowns allowed in the second half.

Twenty-two times during the course of the afternoon, the former Chanute Comet wound up his million dollar arm and 12 times his bullet passes rang the bell for a total of 201 yards.

Plow under Silo Tech--the tailor
Playing his Frank Merriwell role to perfection, Gibbens waited until the fourth quarter before shifting into high, but the 14,000 Jayhawk and Wildcat rooters began getting their money's worth almost as soon as Kansas State took the opening kickoff.
Most of the first half excitement was provided by Miller and Ray Evans, who teamed up to record the first Kansas touchdown early in the second quarter when with two Wildcat tacklers hanging on his shoulders, Miller fired to Evans 20 yards lost from scrimmage.
Evans Outshines Zeleznak
Vying with the Miller-Evans combination in the first half festivities was the long-awaited duel between the former Kansas City, Kans., high school rivals Evans and Mike 'The Jug' Zeleznak, which saw the highly-touted Wildcat star threaten to set a new record for yads lost from scrimmage.
But "Hub" Ulrich, the Jayhawk's candidate for all-Big Six end, Jay Kern, Bob Fluker, and several other Kansas linemen seemed to delight in smothering Zeleznak at the line of scrimmage_or, tossing him for costly losses.
During the between-halves intermission, the fans found time to sink back on the bleachers, re-

SUITING YOU---
THAT'S MY BUSINESS
The Kansas State music-makers paraded on the field first and proceeded to slay a paper-machie Jayhawk with a giant arrow formed by the entire band.
Dramatize War Scenes
SCHULZ
Then the crimson and blue-clad Kansas band swung past the stands and flashed a series of new acts which included the dramatization of Revolutionary and World War scenes. Another crowd-pleaser was the pilgrims at worship number, in which the band was assisted by Pilgrims Patty Lockwood and David Evans.
What had started out as a perfect afternoon for the Jayhawk fans suddenly looked like just another Saturday when the Wildcats, who had tied the count late in the first half, scored again with a concerted 40-yard drive early in the fourth quarter.
Barely had the groans from the Kansas stands subsided when Gibbens gave them something to really cheer about. Taking the kickoff on his own 17-yard stripe, he swung towards the west sidelines and stepped 83 yards to a touchdown. Leading the cheers from the Jayhawk bench as Gibbens skipped into the end zone was Trainer Dean Nesmith, the last Kansas player to return a kickoff for a touchdown having accomplished the feat in 1933.
However the purple and white
Kansas State eleven with place- kicker Earl Williams playing the villain surged back into the lead as the Wildcat extra point specialist punched the pigskin over the cross-bar from the three yard line to give his team a 16-14 lead.
Williams A Villain
Three minutes remained in the game but Miller rose to the occasion and the Kansas team traveled 65 yards to glory on three passes from the Jayhawk quarterback to George Dick, Don Pollom, and Gibbens.
The last toss hit Gibbens on his fourth vest button, and the Lecompton jackrabbit hopped the remaining 14 yards to the goal line with Steve 'Crusher' Meade throwing a block on the last two Wildcat tackles.
Time was left for a few desperate Kansas State passes, but a jubilant band of Jayhawks smothered every attempt, and as the gun ended the game with Kansas the victor 20 to 16, Gibbens became the center of attention.
Rides Piggy-Back
Kansas roots lifted him on their shoulders and carried him to the sidelines where he was given a ringside view of the presentation of the Kansas-Kansas State victory trophy to Dave Watermulder, president of the Men's Student Council. Then the fans began a snake dance, led by the band, which gradually slithered towards the Memorial Union building.
Lest night the lights burned brightly in University fraternity and sorority houses, the Union building, and various hangouts as the victory-starved Jayhawk fans feted their victory.
