DICK SOERGEL, the Big Eight's leading passer, invades Lawrence tomorrow with a powerful Oklahoma State aggregation. The Cowboy quarterback has completed 83 passes out of 126 attempts in leading his team to a 6-2 won-lost total this season. The Cowboys' ace passer will be out to crack KU's pass defenses tomorrow as the O-State squad tangles with the Jayhawkers.
Jayhawkers Brace for Cowboy Aerial Attack
Beaten by Gale Weidner's tremendous passing at Colorado, Kansas will try to get back on the winning side tomorrow when it tangles with the powerful Oklahoma State Cowboys. Kick-off time for the inter-state non-conference match is 1:30 p.m. before an expected crowd of 20,000 in Memorial Stadium.
The game could become a fumble-feast with the possibility of a four-inch snow fall blanketing the field. Kansas has not been exposed to cold and snow this year and may have to cope with inclement weather as well as O-State.
Dick Soergel, Cowboy quarterback, will provide KU with its severest test of the season as far as passing is concerned. The 6-2 dandy will be out for revenge against the Jayhawkers. Two years ago, he saw three of his passes filched by KU, each interception counting in a 13-7 Jayhawker upset.
Last year the Cowboys wrenched a 6-3 verdict from Kansas, but Soergel did not enjoy a banner day. He hit seven of 16 tries for only 51 yards.
Kansas will be up against an upset-hungry team tomorrow as O-State rides a six-game winning streak. Furthermore, they've
come from behind to gain four of their six victories after bowing to Cincinnati and Arkansas in their leadoff games.
KU is protecting a modest streak of their own, an unbeaten home season. Included in this chain are Boston U., Kansas State and Iowa State.
The Jayhawkers are in the worst physical condition they have been all year. Missing will be two alternate backs, quarterback Lee Flachsbarth and right half Jim Jarrett. Starting guard Benny Boydston remains doubtful because of a lame knee incurred against Iowa State.
Boydston was in pads working out Tuesday night, but laid off Wednesday and Thursday. Replacing him for the second week will be sophomore Jim Mills. Mills gave a good account of himself against CU in his first Big Eight starting assignment.
The probable starting lineup for Kansas will be: left end, John Peppercorn; left tackle, Ken Fitch, left guard, Dick Rohlf; center, Fred Hageman; right guard, Jim Mills; right tackle, DeWitt Lewis; right end, Dale Remsberg; quarterback, Duane Morris; left half, John Hadl; right half, Curtis McClinton; fullback, Doyle Schick.

Monday Deadline for Turkey Race Entries
Missouri, a three-touchdown favorite over Kansas State, had eight players on the injured list in yesterday's workout. Two of the injured, halfback Donnie Smith and fullback Eddie Mehrer, won't play Saturday.
Nebraska Coach Bill Jennings reiterated his ultimatum of Monday: the Huskers will have to stop the tricky sophomore passer if they hope to beat the Buffaloes in Lincoln tomorrow.

The others are expected to be
ready for action. They are halfback Mel West, quarterback Phil Snowden, quarterback Bob Haas, tackle Bill Brinkman, end Russ Sloan, and end Tom Carpenter.

Harriers to K.C. For AAU Meet

6th & V4
Kansas has won both the past AAU meets.
Kansas' Big Eight championship cross-country team will not go to the Central Collegiate at Chicago this weekend. Coach Bill Easton announced yesterday.
6th & Vt.
The AAU meet will be held at 11 am. Saturday on the public park course at 47th and Prospect Ave.
"The boys voted to go to the AAU meet in Kansas City instead," he said.
three team entries in each division will be required before the race will start.
Julius Marks, "Marks' Jewelry Store, will contribute the awards. They are: First place, a live turkey; second place, a live goose; third place a live duck; fourth place, a live chicken and fifth place, one egg.
"We only have seven cross-country men." Easton said, "and since the cross-country season is about over we're just going to take the boys who want to run and go to Kansas City."
Entry blanks and official rules may be obtained at the track office in Allen Field House or at the intramurals office in Robinson Gymnasium.
The sudden change was due in part to an injury on the team, Dan Ralston won't be able to run Saturday because of an injured leg.
Last year Bill Mills, also a sophomore, outdistanced the field by 100 yards to lead Kansas to a 15-point victory.
In freezing weather and a 20 m.p.h. wind, Tom Skutka, then a sophomore, posted 21:26.6 to win the first annual Missouri Valley AAU four-mile cross-country meet Nov. 18, 1957, at Lawrence. Every member of that KU seven-man team placed in the top nine as Kansas scored 15 points, 35 under second place Emporia State.
Kansas runners finished in the first six positions. Missouri and Wichita, the only other schools in the meet, did not enter full teams. Mills paced the four-mile course in 19:51.3 minutes.
