Clear and continued cold.
The Weather
By Clavelle Holden Kansan Sports Editor
A powerful title-bound Missouri football team reached its destination yesterday afternoon at Memorial stadium by subduing the Kansas Jayhawkers, 20-0, and in so doing captured the Big Six grid crown for 1339. In conference play this season the Tigers have a record of five wins and defeats.
Kansas fans among the 25,000 who sat under a threatening sky had hoped the traditional upset by the underdog might be re enacted, but they saw tradition fade before the well-balanced attack of Don Faurot's eleven.
The Missouri six-pointers were made by Ronald King in the second period, Paul Christman in the third, and Bud Orf in the fourth. Bill Cunningham's
Not A Passing Christman
Paul Christman, who was billed to "pitch" for the visiting eleven, laid aside his passing prowess and led his mates to victory with an exhibition of powerful ball carrying. Christian was aided greatly by several hard running Missouri backs. Myron Council gave the Jayhawkers plenty of trouble when he carried the ball. Council registered the ball of the season when he broke loose for 41 yards in the final stanza.
Coach Henry's charges from the kickoff till the middle of the second quarter played their heavily favored opponents to a stand still, the turning point being a penalty for kicking.
The first Missouri score was a gift, coming after a 34-yard penalty had been assessed against Kansas for kicking. Jack Turner, who had been playing a whale of a defensive game, apparently lost his temper and kicked a Missouri ball carrier who was lying on the ground. An official who was standing close by immediately ejected Turner from the ball half the distance to the Kansas hole. Turner Leaves Hole
Turner's dismissal from the game was a severe blow. Dan Rhule and Monte Merkel who took turns playing the position the rest of the game had little success in halting Missouri ball carriers. Christman's touchdown was a plunge over that position and Council's 41-yard run in the third quarter against tackle. The right tackle side of the Tiger line was the strongest, and Haas and Crocker had no trouble in opening gaping holes.
The initial Tiger touchdown drive, accelerated by the 18-yard-pyramid, started from the Missouri 18-yard stripe where Bukaty kicked out of bounds. Christian advanced the ball nine yards on an off-tackle run and then drove on his Ownier Hydron plunged over his left tackle for two yards.
While Hydron was on the ground, Turner kicked him in the side, the Kansas was kicked out of the game. The Jayhawkers were penalized half way to the goal line, and the tide turned.
Missouri now had the ball on the Kansas 34-yard line. Three lines placed the ball on the 18-24 yard line, and King circled his own left end and

consist mainly of tiger skins and bones. The work of art bore the title "It's Sur-Real Thing."
Gamma Phi's plagiarized the Sunday School David and Goliath theme in order to secure the right to first place in the class for women's organized houses. David was a little girl when he became a huge Tiger Goliath. The display was explained by the words "It Can Happen."
Tennessee Club decorations, which proved to have the necessary qualifications for victory in the field of men's independent houses, consisted of a Jayhawker pitching Paul Christman into a big black kettle over a
fire. "Pitching Paul" was the title given the display. The house at 1344 Tennessee received honorable mention in this group.
Acacia placed second in the fraternal division with a shotgun wedding scene: the marriage of Dame Defeat to Tiger Mizzou. Third place in the class was awarded to Phi Beta Xi, who was hawker firemen with a hose extinguishing the flaming Tiger mounted by Paul Christman.
Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Kappa Alpha Theta tied for third place in the feminine field. The former was named to the 1924 IAA. The latter accepted the
challenge, succeeded, and is shown telling Missouri "Well You Said Show Me!"
Unanimously they agreed that "Competition was more keen than it had been for several years and consequently difficult to judge."
Judges were: C. B. Russell, mayor of Lawrence; Marian Crumrine, instructor in romance languages; Mrs. O. M. Hickson, Lawrence; and Avid
Chi Omega, attaining second honors in the women's field, depleted "one pass which Missouri wouldn't complete." The football was used the 1959 Big Six crown and the pass was made by Christman.
Homecoming Draws 25,000 To Mt. Oread

Dear Diary:
What a weekend!
- Parade, Rallies and Queens Feature Gala Program for Returning Alumni
By Roscoe Born. c'41
We had Homecoming Friday and Saturday and I went to so many rallies, parades, dances, a concert and never had time to write to you.
I and 24,999 others went down to the Memorial Stadium yesterday and saw a show that had it all over a double feature. It all started with the opening of a new stadium from Missouri and ora played together on the Star Spandrel Banner.
There we were, all 25,90 of us,
standing up in the stadium. Then
the Homecoming queen Barbara Ed-
monds, c'40, and her court rode out
on the field. Governor Rafter went
out and gave the royalty come flowers.
I heard a man six rows down,
who had cone field glasses, say they
were beautiful. The queens, I
mean.
I know that baton twirler from Missouri was all *r*i⁸t. When she came out I went down six row and borrowed the man's field glasses.
The field was pretty too, the part that was dyed enough. I wore down to watch them dye it two days ago and then screen stuff before they were through.
Our band pulled a stick one yesterday at the hall. The bandman marched out to the middle of the field and caught a pig. Pigeons. Certainly surprise me.
Yesterday morning I wore up to the Memorial Union building and watched a lot of girls in sports. They were riding bicycles. I understand that it was a race. Lorenna Grissiz, a girl from Kansas, biked bin hall now. I didn't know Helen Wilson, c42. She came in second for Watkins hall.
Later I heard that the men had a bike race too but I didn’t see it. A New Yorker named Jack Hawley, e-43, won that. The Acacias entered him. A Delt, John Weatherwax, e-42, was next.
Uncle George, who used to go to school here, came back yesterday. He told me that about 400 other grades were enrolled in our high school, like college men than college men do.
Friday night I went down town and saw the Chia Omega's float win first prize and $10 in the Homecoming parade. Kappa Alpha Theta got $8 for being second and Kappa Kappa Gamma won $7 for third.
Then I disabled one lung at WREN when I yelled too loud in the pep rally.
While I was up at the I.S.A. Hobo Varsity later Friday night, I heard that the varsity basketball team won from the freshmen.
But last night topped off the weekend. I went to hear Dale Brodie play the K.U.-M.U. dance in the Memorial building. Had a good time there.
Later I went to a jelly joint. What a mob. One boy in a booth was reeling "Thanatopas". Lost the scarii Aunt Mimie gave me last Christmas.
We lost the football game.
Sigma Delta Chi Initiates Eight
Two professional journalists and six undergraduate were initiated by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism. Journalism building Friday night.
The initiates: L. L. Robinson, editor of the LaCrosse Republic; Ruy Heady, instructor in journalism and director of the KU. News Bureau; James Bell, c'40; Ten Posttewhale, gr; Leilyn Young, c'60; Walter Meininger, c'40; George Sitterley, c'42; and Edwin Browne, gr.
After the initiation services, the group attended a dinner in the Old English room of The Memorial Union building.
