HOLDEN LINES
By CLAVELLE HOLDEN, Kansan Sports Editor
The 48th renewal of Missouri-Kansas grid feed this Saturday has more angles than a Follies chorus girl has curves: An ancient rivalry that has seldom run true to form; Pupil versus teacher; a former Tiger now assistant coach at Kansas. Whewell.
Gwinn Henry, present Kansas coach, took over the coaching reins at Missouri in 1923. That year the Tigers tied a favored Jayhawker team 3-3. Next year the fullback on the Tiger's eleven was Don Faurot, who was then a junior. In '24 Missouri won 14-0. And in '25, Faurot's last year as a player, Kansas was victorious 10-7. This gave the Bengals' present coach a record of one victory and one defeat, against the Jayhawkers as a player.
Henry Lansing, who joined the Kansas football staff this fall, played for Mizzou in '14, '15, and '16. During that time the Tigers won two games to Kansas' one. When Henry was hired as head coach at Columbia he named Lansing as his assistant, a post he held until 1931. Last spring the former Tiger rejoined his old boss at Lawrence.
What would he sweeter for Henry than to hang a loss on the title-bound Missouri team? He probably still vividly remembers the criticism that was hopped on him in 1931 and which, coupled with ill health, brought his resignation.
Remember what "Marse Joe" did to McCarthy and his Yankis did to the Cubs the year after Chicago had fired him as manager? Nothing like a little bitterness to stir up a good feud.
The two schools first met on the gridiron in 1891, and Kansas won 22-8. Since that time Kansas has won 21 games, Missouri 16, and 7 have ended in a tie. During this span the Jayhawkers have tallied 507 points to the Tigers' 300.
In this long rivalry, never has a game been won by a single point. In most of the games the winner was several touchdowns ahead. Kansas' most decisive victory was in 1930. That year they trowned the Tigers 22-6. The Tigers reached the Nassau Cup in 1928 when they won 25-6, and this incidentally was the only time they ever scored four touchdowns against Kansas, a feat the Jabawkers have accomplished eight times.
It has been an even 10 years since a team from Columbia has won on the Kansas gridiron. In 1929 the Henry-captured Tigers triumphed over the Jashawkers here in Minnesota that game holds the record for attendance, some 31,000 football fans paid to see it.
In '37 the two teams battle to another scoreless tie. In that game Douglas almost gave the game to the Tigers. He fumbled a pass on the 10-yard stripe and Missouri recovered. Three plays moved the ball to the 3-yard stripe. From this point the Bengals tried a field goal but it was no good. But on the play Kansas was offside and the Tigers had another play. With the ball resting right in front of the goal posts, Missouri elected to try for a touchdown instead of a field goal. The line plunge was stopped and the game ended 0-0.
Short Sport Shots. . . . Dudley S. DeGroot, brother of E. B. DeGroot University instructor in physical education, who is director of athletics at San Jose State College, is planning to fly to Des Moines Friday to "scout" Drake University; he may see the KU-MU game Saturday. . . . At the present time the San Jose team is leading the nation with 260 points. . . . Texas A. & M. has 6,200 students, all men, who must pass a rigid physical examination to enter the school. . . . No wonder they have a good team. . . The Yanks turned Dominic Di Maggiom down because he wears "specs", said Ed Barrow. . . He also announced that Breuer and Reis of the Kansas City Blues will join the Yankees this spring. Priddy and Rizzutto will stay in Kansas City until '41, the general manager added.
Last year the Tigers won 13-7
Sullivan tallied six points for Kansas.
Christian returned a punt 62 yards for a touchdown seconds before the ball ended. The Bengals back passed to the guard for the other Tiger score.
Van Arsdale Wins Tennis Title
The half ended with the Jayhawks leading 3-0, on a place kick by Clarence Douglas, and it looked like a major upset. But an aroused Tiger team came out the second half and rolled up 19 points.
- New Champ Defeats J.
Irwin 6-3, 6-4 To Win the
Women's Crown
From 1930 to 1935 the Jayhawks ruled supreme as they defeated the Tigers five straight times and played to a scoreless tie in "35." The tie game was a drab affair as the two eleven battles from 26-yard-line Fawdon and this incidentally was Fawdon's first year at Columbia.
After winning the first set, the Pi Phi representative built up a 5-1 lead on the last set. Irwin then rallied and won three straight games, the last at love, to make the score set 5-4. In the final game, with Irwin serving, Van Aardahl won the first two points, lost the third, and won the game, set and match on the fourth point.
In 1936 the Tigers broke the scoring drought as they won 19-3. That your Kansas had a wooftie weak team and went to Columbia with no wins and five losses.

defeated June Twain, Kappa Kappa
Gamma, in straight sets, 6-3 and 6-4.
Defeated by incarnational tennis
championship of the University
yesterday afternoon.
The final match was a bitterly fought contest as the two players fought desperately for each point, most of the games going to deuce. The two contestants were evenly matched.
The new champion with a "hot" service and a steady forehand gradually gave her opponent down. Irwin's best shots were made from her backhand. Van Ardale was content to play the ball back to her opponent and let her err, a strategy that worked successfully.
The new women's champion will try for a doubles title Sunday when she teams with Malcolm Black, Delta Tua Delta, to play Virginia
Anderson, Pi Beta Phi, and Bill Howard, SAE, for the intramural mixed-doubles championship.

Tigers Reign as Heavy Favorites in Coming Clash With Jayhawkers Saturday
A roaring Missouri Tiger, hot on the trail of it's first Big Six championship, will prowl into Memorial Stadium here Saturday afternoon to stalk an already well picked but undaunted Kansas Jayhawker in the forty-eighth annual gridiron meeting of the two schools.
Undefeated in conference play, and conquerors of mighty Nebraska, savage Oklahoma, and sensational New York U. Missouri will be a top heavy favorite to defeat Gwinn Henry's downtrodden Jayhawkers.
Tigers Have Impressive Record
Besides the fact that the contest is a championship affair, there are other factors which are daily hikking the interest of Big Six fans. The fact that the greatest forward passing duet seen in the Midlands for some time is scheduled to be unveiled, is causing ticket sales to soar. Missouri's blond bomber, Paul Christman, who has practically passed every opponent bow-legged this season, will have to call upon all of his aerial winfrey if he is to outpitch the Jayhawkers sensational "Riffin Ralph" Miller who's passing percentage for the year in three games is over the 700 mark. The fireworks that should be lifted off when these two juniors take the ground and jumping Saturday is expected to be better than any fourth of July display.
Terry Watson, Brandon
The Tigers have an impressive record of seven victories against one defeat, that at the hands of Ohio State in the season's opener.
Tutor Versus Pupil
Railbirds are also wondering how young Don Faurot, the Tiger head man, is going to fare against his former gridron tutor, Gwinn Henry, who coached the Tigers to national prominence a decade ago. After a layoff Monday (which all teams should take after meeting Oklahma), the Tigers went back to bard work Tuesday with an eye for the Jayhawk air attack and an ear to the words of Coach Faurot who warned over overreidence. The Jayhawkers, after their defeat of a tough George Washington withdrew into the Stadium for secret practice Monday and Tuesday evenings, but trotted out in the open last night to resume drills. All three sessions have been divided with polishing their own plays and preparing a defense for the versatile and baffling Missouri attack.
Crimson and Blue hues received a slight lift yesterday when Dick Amereine and Monte Merkle, two former basketball players named as sure bench warmers Saturday, appeared in full uniform and took part in the workout. Bill Bun-

Intramural Title At Stake in Greek Battle Today
★ Hall-Russell Aerial Duel Is Stated; Phil Psi's Meet Sigma Chi's for Six-Man Title
By Clint Kanaga, c.12
A rough and broad Beta Theta Pi crew will square off with a fast stepping, high spiked Sigma Nu grid machine at 4 p.m. today for the championship of the University. The game will be played at the intramural fields.
The contest appears to be a toss up and should be one of the best of the year. Beta hopes lie largely in the injured wrist of sharpshooting Vance Hall, as good a passer as the league has produced this year. If Hall is up to par the Nu's will be in for a rough afternoon, otherwise a fine Beta line led by Stoland, McCaillin, Robinson, and Eberhardt, will be forced to bear the brunt of the meter. The Beta record reads
seven victories and one tie with 120 downs ruling and by defeating the points to the opponents 9. defending champion, Phi Kappa Pai's.
The Sigma Nu's will depend on passer Jim Russell and receivers Stone and Stipp plus a hard charging line for victory. Headed by Stephenson, Lake, and Newlin, the line is sure to spell trouble for the Beta's. The Nu's buoy a record of seven victories and one loss.
The Beta's advanced to the play-off finals with victories over Kappa Sigma, 6-3, and Pii Gamma Delta. The winner of the Sigma Phi Epsilon by the five extra
The six man finale will also be played today at the intramural fields with Phi Chi meeting Phi Chi in the Semifinal contest, the Pal's laced to the Sep. 21-3 while Sigma Chi took a 19-16 thriller from Phil Delta Theta.

OF THE CAMPUS
THE daily newspaper of University City is the eye and ear of the campus. We mean this almost literally. The trained staff of student reporters have their ears to the ground for every possible news bit to enlarge your interest in living in University city. They translate what they hear into pages of type and you say, "I hear that John Doe broke his collar bone in football practice." You read it in the Kansan ... the ear of the campus. The merchant receives a shipment of winter pajamas ... just the kind to keep a freezing student warm, at least from the neck to the ankles where the special knitting ends ... but the students don't know anything about it. So what does the merchant do? He runs a cut (a drawing or photograph) of the desired pajamas together with a glowing description, in the advertising columns. I see where Blank's are showing some p.j.'s guaranteed to keep a guy above zero. Let's go down and get some," says the reader. The advertising columns of the student newspaper are his eye. If you are a student take care of your eyes and your ears. If you are a news source call up a Kansan reporter. If you are a merchant train the student eye on your wares. It pays.
