Paul Hangs Up Cleats Grid Days End
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 22—(UP)—College football was a memory today to Paul Christman and a bad dream for most of the opponents that the Missouri Tigers have faced during the three years that the Blonde Bomber has been the forward passing genius of the Big Six conference.
Christman and the Tigers finished up their current season yesterday by defeating the Kansas University Jayhawkers 45 to 20 in the dizziest two team passing exhibition that the 17,000 Homecoming fans at Columbia $ ^{a} $
211 Jayhawk Yards on Passes
In the aerial fray, Missouri completed 10 out of 15 passes for 196 yards and Kansas hit 20 out of 37 for 211.
The triumph gave Missouri three victories and two defeats for the conference season and a toe hold on third place, which the Tigers can keep if Nebraska sets back Iowa State at Lincoln tomorrow. Although the Cyclones have been troublesome off and on all year, they are not calculated to upset Nebraska.
The other unfinished business in the conference this week is at Norman tomorrow where Oklahoma plays an intersectional contest with Temple. The Sooners are substantial favorites.
Christman Tantalizes Kansas
The Christman valedictory here was typical. He tantalized the Kansans with his boldness in refusing to budge backward an inch until he had thrown his passes. Not once was he tackled before he had gotten rid of his pass, and three of his five passes which missed fire were long floaters which the intended receivers lost by inches.
The day's performance rounded out a three year 27 game record during which Christman has completed 3,056 yards of passes. His 1,027 yards from running the ball gave him an overall total of 4,133 yards or nearly three miles.
Consolation for Don Faurot
There was consolation in the day for Coach Don Faurot of the Tigers who might have been gloomy in losing his star had it not been for the brilliance of Harry Ice, the Kansas City minister's son who gave evidence that he intends to fill Christman's shoes.
There was consolation, even for Kansas, which gave its best offensive display of the year and scored touchdowns in conference competition for the first time.
Lions Close Season Against Ottawa At Haskell Tonight
Lawrence high school's Lions, currently rated among the three best high school elevens in the state, will close one of their best seasons in history at 7:30 tonight in Haskell stadium against the Ottawa high school Cyclones.
Thursday, they'll be shooting for the 500 mark in non-conference play.
Nine regulars and seven squadmen will be playing their last game for Coach Elmer Schaake, former Jayhawk star, in tonight's game. The Lions have won six games this season and lost only one—that to the undefeated Topeka Trojans by a score of 7 to 6.
On their two eastern trips, the Jayhawks lost to Villanova and George Washington. So when Gwinn Henry's athletes clash with the Colorado Aggies in Memorial stadium
LOOK TO AGGIE TILT--regulars last fall, Pershing Blake, left end, James Stinnett, right end, and Larry Miller, left tackle, hold the same distinction this year.
All three of the Kansans injured in yesterday's loss to Missouri are expected to be ready to go against Colorado State. Jake Fry, who received a slight concussion, regained consciousness soon after benig taken to the dressing room and his condition was continuing to improve today. Ross Relph and Bob Fluker both received shoulder injuries which should heal by game time Thursday.
Colorado State Coach Harry Hughes, who is the oldest football coach in the country from the point of view of continuous service at one school, is now in his thirtieth year as Aggie headman.
Hughes' starting eleven includes four seniors, five juniors, and two sophomores. On the squad roster are men from California, New Mexico, South Carolina, Illinois, Montana, Wyoming, Texas, and Nebraska, as well as Colorado. Seven athletes from California are on the squad.
Aggie standout is Sophomore Halfback Sherwood Fries who resembles in size John Kimbrough, Texas A. and M. ace. The husky halfback stands 6 feet tall and weighs 218 pounds. He was an all-city selection as a high school star in Los Angeles.
The 1940 Colorado State team is sufficiently improved over last year's eleven which Kansas defeated only 7 to 0 that two 1939 regular cannot make the starting lineup this fall. Witeosky, a tackle, and Busch, a guard, were starters against the Jayhawks last year, but have been supplanted by Mancini and Bruhl.
