One way to attempt to figure out who will be the winner in Saturday's championship clash between the Jayhawkers and the Missouri Tigers is to make a close comparison of the two team's seasons and personnel.
Both squads opened the season with convincing victories. KU trounced TCU, 21-7, while the Tigers were rolling past Southern Methodist. 20-0.
On Oct. 1 the Jays lost to Syracuse, 14-7, while the Tigers extended their unbeaten streak to three with an easy win over Oklahoma State, 28-7.
The second week saw the Hawkers slaughter Kansas State 41-0. Missouri first showed signs of being a good team as they pounded highly rated Penn State, 22-8.
KU bounced back the following Saturday to wallop Iowa State, 28-14 Missouri beat a feeble Air Force Academy squad. 34-8.
Missouri played K-State next, beating them by four more points than the Jays could muster against the Wildcats. This was the week of the Hawker 13-13 tie with Oklahoma
Missouri then downed Iowa State by a greater margin than Kansas, crunching the Cyclones 34-8. Kansas slipped past Oklahoma State 14-7 which, in comparison to the Tiger score, again left the Hawks on the short end.
The same day on which the Jayhawkers lost to Iowa, 21-7, the Tigers were smashing the Nebraska defenses for a 28-0 win.
KU began to take the advantage in comparable scores two weeks ago. They whipped Nebraksa by three points more than Missouri and then outdid the Tiger effort against Colorado by 18 points.
Meanwhile, the league leaders had clobbered Oklahoma 41-19.
So, as Saturday approaches, here is how the teams stand in a comparison of scores! Missouri had a greater margin of victory in four tails while the Hawkers won more convincingly twice.

Now, how about the two teams? At the end position the Tigers have the advantage for two reasons. Danny LaRose and Gordon Smith, the Missouri flankmen, are both bigger and more experienced than the KU starters Larry Allen and Sam Simpson. LaRose and Smith both weigh over 200 pounds.
At tackle, size and experience of the teams are about equal. The main question here will concern the durability of starters, Rockne Calhoun and Ed Blaine for MU and Larry Lousch and Mike Fischer for Kansas and the reserve strength. Here the Tigers have the edge.
The battle between the team's guards will be something to look forward to in itself. KU's Benny Boydston and Elvin Bashem have competed favorably with heavier guards all season despite having the 25 pound disadvantage which Paul Henley and Tom Hertz will have. The starters again appear to be about equal.
Kansas will have a decided advantage at center with Fred Hageman and Kent Staab going against 200-pound Mike Langan and somewhat smaller Bill MacCartney.
In the backfield, the advantage seems to be for Kansas at every position.
There is no better quarterback in the league than KU's John Hadl. Missouri's Ron Taylor does a fine job, but doesn't have the all-around ability of Hadl. Also, KU can more than match alternate signal callers with the Tigers.
At halfback, where both teams have more than their share of talented runners, the exceptional size and power of the Hawk halfbacks gives them the nod.
Both fullbacks, Kansas' Doyle Schick and Missouri's Ed Mehrer, are the principle blockers. Both are fine runners, but Schick's defensive superiority gives KU the advantage.
There is one classification left — the coaches. We'll save that comparison until after game.

Kevin Jones, assistant professor of Petroleum Engineering, and Head Volleyball Coach at KU, has guided his squad to national recognition in volleyball competition.
At a recent tournament at Tulsa, Oklahoma, with seven teams entered, KU took third place.
Volleyball at KU is one of the five sports clubs administered by the Physical Education Department, and not the Athletic Department which sponsors all other varsity teams. These sports clubs have been in existence for four years, and over that period Prof. Jones has captured two seconds, and two third places in the national competition.

Only one out of six starting players from last year returned this year. This player is Bob Lockwood, Lawrence senior, who is also the gymnastic coach.
Although the team ranks high with other collegiate teams, their winloss record for the season is not outstanding because of the stiff competition offered by the clubs they play.

Bill Gamm, Prairie Village freshman, started playing volleyball when he arrived on campus. Four weeks later, he was starting as a set man.
Other players on the team are Dave Edgell, Leavenworth senior, and Stan Bond, California, graduate student, and Abdul Barek, Afghanistan sophomore.
Freshmen and graduate students are eligible because the sport is not directly under NCAA rules.
"Every year we've had a team at KU," said Mr. Jones, "At least one
KU man has made first team All America!" These players are chosen at the National Tournament of the United States Volleyball Association.
My favorite musical instrument is the player piano.—Fried Arten.
