MISSOURI TIGER FORWARD PASSES HAVE RAISED TEAM FROM CELLAR TO EQUAL RATING WITH KANSAS
Method Responsible for All But Three Touchdowns
Lack of Regular Linemen Returning to Squad
Said to Be Responsible for Inferior
Plaving at First of Season
By William F. Danenbarger
Coming from the sub-basement of the doped Bic Six conference stands, and the cellar position of the actual ratings, the Missouri Tigers have forced their way, via the forward pass method, to a par rating with Kansas for the coming annual clash between the two schools.
The Turtles have been having a peculiar season. In the first place, after being painted a rather rosey hue by pre-season sports writers, the team dropped the first five games of its schedule by discouragingly decisive scores, painting a little momentum each game, however, until an anti-climactic defeat by the
There possibly is an explanable reason for this climb-the ladder program the Tigers have been following. To get to the top, they reported to the coaches at the first call, possibly a unanimous, but nevertheless, a bunch of fine-looking talent as far as general appearance; were writers who played up the potential ability of the team overlooked the important fact that not one regular linebacker was on the bench. Those who described the team as a dark horse were for more accurate in their judgment, even though it did include the horse for the horse to change its color scheme.
Injury: Are Handicap
powerful Nebraska eleven by the narrow score of 10 to 7 won capped by a victory over Drake and likewise a victory over Kansas, in the fact that each touchdown but three that the Missouri team has made during the whole season has come directly from a forward pass the exceptions include Kansas Aggie and the Drake games.
Another retarding factor in the Missouri climb to respectability has been the large number of dependable players answering toll call on the inferred risk of the climb. To practice the injury strok get under way. It kept adding impetus to its start as the practiced progressed, and continued on its way as one game after another. The team increased hospital list. These injured men have been shaping out fairly well during these last few games of the season, and they have helped the increased rating of the team.
Perhaps the most effective hardfought combination that the Tigers have had this year is that composed of George Stuber at quarterback, Cainton Bitter at center, Willie Gill at full foul with Max Collins, star of last year's Nebraska game, a close substitute of Johannmierer. There has not been much rivalry for these positions, however, for few games have been played in tactically physical at the same time.
Stuber, former star of St. Joseph Central High School, has been playing regularly at quarter all season, and he is now a first-round pick in Missouri's passing attacks. He is following in the footsteps of an older brother at quarter, and is in his sophomore year. He was put in line as one of the star performers of every game this season, and his most outstanding run was a 95-yard return from a tackle in the game with the Kansas Angels.
Bittner Ground Gainer
Capt. Frank Ritter received a knee injury in the Texas University game, and has been handicapped with the injury all season. However, in the 2016 regular season, he consistent ground gainer, and one of the better pass snaggers of the team, having scored Missouri's only touchdown against Oklahoma by grabbling the ball from a field. It has not been determined whether or not Bittler will be in the
starting lineup tomorrow, his status descending on the condition of his knee. One owe the most dependable pantry in this team. Gill, playing fullback on this unlamed-legged team, Gill's educated booting feet has averaged more than 40 yards in punture in several of the games this season. The defense has few Tewers to keep off the injured last. Max Collings and Carl Jobmine-Maxer have been alternating at halfback, the former receiving a serious injury that has kept him inactive most of the time.
In the line, Charles Schiele, playing an onid position, has been outstanding in this season. He teamed and as a defensive man in getting down the field on points. Schiele's playground against Okuaberna last Saturday and that proved to be different occasions, and his work in the Nebraska and Drake games drew much favorable comment from the sports community.
Oll Switten Back to Guard
Another power in the line has been Bobby Zavala, who was switched to center position first of the season because of injuries to regular centers on the sound. Okibana game, and will probably start in that position in the game swetted the Jayhawks in their lower menus. Okibana game, and will probably mark Glidden at end, Nobbil, Morgan and Kirby at kirby, Fred Hartman and Hial Aikas at guard. The team must meet most of the season with a broken finger, while the services of Henry Porter begin the season season-begins of a fractured ankle.
The Tigers had their first taste of defeat for the season at the hands of the University of Texas Longhorns in the satire climate of Austin. The Tigers scored out a 31 to 0 score against the swerving Missourians. The Texans scored in every quarter of the game, and only once did the Tigers show any offensive power, a short period of about five minutes, aerial attack momentarily elicited.
In this game Porter received a fractured ankle, and Captain Bittner impaled away with a knee injury that he stayed with him throughout the game. The game may be called, was credited to Johann-Heuguerle, Stuber and Gill. The Long
horns piled up a total of 281 yards from verimmage to the Tiger's scant 31.

**Conference Loss to Tigers**
The second game of the season, and the first conference game for Missouri in the national tournament, was against Wisconsin, who pitched a total of 20 points to compare with Missouri's 7. McMillan's forecast that Missouri had well founded, but his careful training of Aggies against such an attack flirted every Tiger move. Had the defense been a Tiger advantage, during the game, they undoubtedly would have added to their total scoring, but thumb-like fingers of Aggie barkers were a Tiger advantage. When George Sturgeon picked up an Aggie kick-off on the five yard line, stepped into a pocket of Tiger interference, and touched down, Gill added the extra point. The Tigers, minus the services of Noblitt, who had received a broken finger in practice next traveled in to a 9 to 7 defeat before the University of Colorado. They displayed the best line attack of the season, however, with a successful catch of the Coloradoads off their feet. Stuber tressed a pass to Schiele and two to Hofffield for the Tiger counter, and the Coloradoads struck a second extra point. Missouri completed but 3 of 24 attempted passes for a gain of 40 yards, while their yards from scrimmage totaled 10, as against Colorado's

the season, or so it appeared at the time,
when the Iowa State team, still rated
at a love mark, scored a 20 to 8 victory.
Tigers lost the game with With Nolbitt, Porter and Swater nutcracked broken bones, and Captain Bitter won the game up a poor offensive showing. The only scoring threat came when Frear Crause, substitute quarter, passed to Ovalie Manning, pitcher, and players, placing the ball on the 29-yard line, where the team was held. Gill Duncan pitched in the Tigers' completed b of 22 passes for 118 yards. Yards from scrimmage were 144 for Missouri against 279 Iowa State

The Missouri team showed its first cermarks as a collegiate football team when it all but over-powered the winning Nebraska eleven, the final score 14-7. The Nebraska with 10. The final whiche of the game ended a frantic Tiger offense and found the ball on the Nebraska one-yard line with the ball in play. The game started well, lamed into medicerity, trailed 10-0, and then opened up an social attack that was almost too much for the amazed Cornhuskers. Johan Hewett had to be heed, the ball, and Stuber ranked among the stars of the game. The Tiger
teachdown came when Don Eaves, substitute, turn to Stuber, who raced 40 yards for a counter. The linework of Schiele was again outstanding. Missouri completed 12 out of 17 passes in game and netted 170 yards by them.
MISSOURI QUARTERBACK
Missouri's first victory came when the team ran wild against Drake in a non-conference tilt and scored 32 points, against Drake 20. JoBNanking the Tigers, Drake and Schiele all scored touchdowns, Schiele running 90 yards for his, and Collins tearing through 75 yards of opposition for his touchdown. Gwin Henry, who had not played before substitution by telephone from the press box, as sinus trouble caused him to be out of condition for active work, forced Schiele to go next game, the Tigers trounced the Oklahoma eleven 7-6, their only Big six victory so this season. The scoring was 187 to 136 yards, and completed 2 of 4 goals. Schiele passed a pass to Captain Bitter, who had his own way to the goal line. Missouri outscrimmaged its opponents, 167 to 138 yards, and completed 2 of 4 shots. The Tigers were Stuber for his yard gaining, Gill for his punting, and Schiele for his pass grabbing and defensive work. Tiger injuries have been mended, and the green line has been whipped into a strong forward wall. The result is that, no matter how poor a start the Tigers made,
