Jayhawkers Lose, But
Mitchell Lauds Team Effort
By Warren Haskin
Head football coach Jack Mitchell refused to look forward to next year yesterday after relating the past season of the Jayhawkers, having only praise for this year's team.
"No, I'm not going to say wait
'till next year. It could be the same as this year—almost a good team, but not quite. Just a hair short tells the story of our team this season.
"If we improve as much next year as we did this year, we should have another good team. But I'm still mighty proud of this
ONE DOWN ANYWAY-Kansas' John Hadl is shown making a tackle on Jim Miles, a frequent ball carrier for Missouri Saturday afternoon in the 68th annual meeting of the KU and MU football teams. A Homecoming crowd of more than 40,000 persons jammed Memorial Stadium to watch the Tigers trip the Jayhawkers 13-9 and win a trip to the Orange Bowl Jan.1 as well as second place in the Big Eight Conference. Kansas finished in a third place tie in the conference.
year's team; they gave it their all." Coach Mitchell said.
"Lots Of Fun Playing Santa"
Especially when all of your Christmas bills are paid in advance and that's exactly what you can do when you join our Christmas Club. Now open for 1960.
Two feet separated the Jayhawkers from a winning season and an Orange Bowl trip Saturday afternoon as Missouri eked out a 13-9 victory.
WEEKLY PAYMENTS FROM 50c TO $10.00
It was probably one the hardest fought games in the 68 meetings of the two rivals. Kansas played one of its best offensive games of the season but the Jays were not able to reach paydirt when it counted. The Jayhawkers totaled 257 yards on the ground and gained 15 first downs against the Tigers.
Missouri took a 7-0 lead with 13:12 remaining in the first half. Phil Snowden fired a 13-yard pass into the hands of Don Smith for the score.
The Jayhawkers started an 80-yard drive at the beginning of the second half to tie the game up at 7-7. Doyle Schick reeled off 63 of the 80 yards on plays going between John Peppercorn and Ken Fitch. The powerful fullback blasted his way across the goal line from seven yards out.
Schick carried 21 times during the afternoon and amassed 116 yards on the ground more than doubling the performance of any other player in the game.
The Tigers went ahead 13-7 in the final period with slightly more than 10 minutes left to play in the game. Kansas took possession of the ball on their own 26-yard line and started another long march that ended less than a yard short of the goal.
All-Star Football Finals on Tap
The final score of the game came a few plays later when Missouri gave the Jayhawkers an intentional safety in order to kick off from its own 20 instead of punting from within the end zone.
The finals of the Senior Intramural All-Star football challenge will be held this afternoon when the Seniors meet the Sophomores at 4 o'clock in Memorial Stadium.
In preliminary games late last week, the sophomores upset the highly favored Juniors on a 35-yard field goal and the Seniors whipped the Freshmen 13-0.
Warren Leitch kicked the field goal for the Sophomores from 35-yards out during the final period to break a scoreless game. The final score stood at 3-0.
The Seniors had little trouble with the Frosch. Dick Endacott threw a touchdown pass to Dud McElvain and Ken Welch intercepted a pass to account for the scoring.
The Sophomore squad that will play today was a hastily thrown together crew that didn't know it was playing until noon before the game. A group of Beta Theta Pi sophs then learned that their class was not planning on fielding a team and phoned other houses for volunteers.
Varsity Cagers Score Win Over Frosh,67-55
Conch Dick Harp's Varsity cashed in on Freshman inexperience in fashioning a 67-55 win in the annual Homecoming cage preview Friday night in Allen Field House.
The final outcome of the game was never in doubt to the 3,500 spectators who attended the game as the Varsity rolled away to a 12-4 lead early in the game and managed to keep the point margin between the two teams to 10 points during the first half.
29 at the intermission.
Midway in the third quarter, the frosh caught fire when Jim Dumas of Topeka scored on a 20-foot jump shot that narrowed the Varsity margin to 58-53. But just as suddenly as the frosh had crept within striking distance, the Varsity swept out of reach.
