Tomorrow afternoon the Iowa State Cyclones will breeze into Memorial Stadium in hopes of upsetting the Kansas Jayhawkers and getting a bid for the Big Eight conference berth in the post-season Orange Bowl.
Let's look at the records of the two teams.
Kansas has the poorest record of the pair with three wins and as many losses. The losses came from Texas Christian, Syracuse and Oklahoma, ranked among the top 20 teams in the nation. In the meantime, the Jayhawkers have racked up impressive victories over Boston University, Nebraska and Kansas State.
The "dirty thirty" as the Cyclones are affectionately known since there are only 30 men on the entire I-State squad, has been the winningest team in the conference this season with a 5-1 record.
Best Season Record
The wins have all been impressive ones but have been over unimpressive foes. The Cyclones have drubbed in succession Drake, 41-0; Denver, 28-12; South Dakota, 41-6; Colorado, 27-0; and Kansas State 26-0.
In the only game the Cyclones met
a real team, they lost to Missouri 14-0.
Not to take anything away from the boys from Ames, as they are an impressive lot. It sure makes the coaching staff look good when a squad of only 30 men can pile up a record such as the Cyclones have.
The team is an enthusiastic one also. The eight players who were not good enough to make the first two units were dubbed "The Big Eight," a name they cherish more than Louisiana State's "Chinese Bandits."
Only depth and a much tougher schedule separate the teams but Kansas must garner the advantage on these two points.
Tomorrow's game will probably be a very exciting one to watch as the two teams are of about the same size and speed.
Same Team Size
I'm betting on the bowl bound Jav Hawkers to stop the destruction a Cyclone normally brings and defeat the "dirty thirty" along with its "Big Eight."
And no quarrel a knight ought to take
See ya' at the game.
But for a truth, or a woman's sake.

Thinclads Face Oklahoma Today
KU guns for its third dual meet win of the cross-country season when it tangles with Oklahoma today at Norman.
University Daily Kansan Page
The Jayhawk harriers opened the season by crushing Missouri 16-45. Billy Mills and Brian Travis leading the way.
The following weekend, KU was upset 21-36 by a fired-up Chicago Track Club team, snapping a winning skein of 22 in dual meet competition for the Jayhawks. It marked only the third defeat for the team under coach Easton's tutelage.
The Jays bounced back to whip Arkansas last Saturday, 16-42. Mills again garnered individual honors as he sped over the three-mile Lawrence course in 14:54.5 minutes.
Every man of us has all the centuries in him.
