In third and fourth place are Coan and Hadl. They are closely followed by Bill Tobin and Stevenson of Missouri and John Suder of the Jayhawkers.
The Kansas locker room after the win over Colorado last week was, of course, a scene of happiness, but also one of determination and anxiety.
Although the `team` and coaches were proud of their convincing victory, the talk pointed to the coming championship battle with Missouri.
Mitchell was asked who he would start at left halfback against Missouri considering Hugh Smith's three excellent show the past three games as he filled in for the injured Bert Coan. Coan, however, proved
After answering the usual questions about his team's performance, Coach Jaek Mitchell was asked how he felt the Jayhawkers would do against the unbeaten Tigers. Still savouring the Homecoming win, he said his team would play as well as they could, which would mean at least as good as their last two performances, and that they would be facing a very solid football team.

in the Colorado game he was ready for plenty of action.
"I'm real thankful to be in a position to have to decide which man to play. It's odd to have to make a selection between two such out-
Kirshman Returns For Misosuri Game
Kansas will be at full strength for the final game of the season with top rated Missouri. Coach Jack Mitchell said yesterday Stan Kirshman, junior tackle from Jefferson City, Mo., would be in uniform for the first time since his injury in the Oklahoma State game.
Although the cast is off Kirshman's broken hand, Coach Mitchell didn't think the 200 pounder would see much, if any, action against the Tigers. Mitchell felt Kirshnan's timing and conditioning would not be sufficient to help the Jayhawkers much.
Missouri Tigers Take Nation's Top Position
Missouri, the only major unbeaten, untied team in last week's United Press International rankings of the nation's leading college football teams, moved into the top spot in this week's ratings.
on the basis of Missouri's 41-19 defeat of Oklahoma and previously top rated Minnesota's loss to Purdue, 14-23, the Tigers advanced from their number two position of last week's poll.

Missouri will be the final opponent for the Kansas Jayhawkers in the Big Eight championship battle Saturday in Columbia. This will be the third time this season twice-beaten Kansas will face the nation's top team

Speaking about the Missouri showdown, line coach Bobby Goad said, "It isn't very often a team has the opportunity to play for a championship. When it does, it should do the best it can, and I think we will. The most important thing will be to match them physically."
After receiving congratulations, the players expressed thoughts of victory over Missouri, with previous successes forgotten.
If the Hawker spirit continues through next Saturday, there should be no morale problem, something which is always a major problem for a coach.
