33,000 Expected to View KU-MU Fight for 2nd Place
The Big Eight's second-place finish is at stake when the Jayhawkers leave for Columbia at 12:30 today.
Missouri (4-1) can guarantee itself a second-place finish by winning Saturday. That is if Oklahoma handles Nebraska.
Some 33,000 spectators are expected to watch this 67th test of gridiron muscle which brings together coaches Jack Mitchell and Dan Devine.
Should Kansas (3-2) win, the Jayhawkers would snag the runner-up standings three ways-tying Colorado and Missouri.
A large number of KU students and fans are going to the game. The KU pep clubs bought 200 tickets at Allen Field House to sell to students at the information booth on Jayhawk Blvd.
A total of 1,800 tickets were sold at the ticket office in Allen Field House.
Together, the collective ages of
the two coaches—34 for Mitchell and 33 for Devine—add up to the number of years that Kansas and Missouri will have met come Saturday.
Don't discount the field-goal as a factor in Saturday's Jayhawk-Tiger scuffle.
Mizzou's Charlie Rash, more noted for his extra-point precision, is accurate up to 25 yards—while John Suder, small KU sophomore, already has booted three field goals this season, two in the K-State game and another against Oklahoma State.
Rash, incidentally, has kicked 49 of 54 conversion tries, just one game short of calling it a career.

The Jayhawkers practiced here for the last time this season yesterday.
Coach Jack Mitchell emphasized the kicking game on defense and offense and ran pass plays against his defensive backfield.
He named the following lineup to start against the Tigers:
Left end, DeWitt Lewis; left tackle, John Pepercorn; left guard, Dick Rohlf; center, John Wertzberg; right; guard, Tom Russell; right tackle, Bill Blasi; right end, Sam Simpson.
Quarterback, Larry McKown;
left halfback, Bobby Marshall;
right halfback, Homer Floyd, and
fullback, Dovle Senick.
The Jayhawkers will hold a light workout at Columbia.
With 1,477 net yards to his credit, Kansas co-captain Homer Floyd needs only 23 in his career finale against Missouri Saturday to join Charlie Hoag as the only Jayhawker back in history to break past 1,500 rushing yards.

Sig Eps have a wise pledge class,
For weeks we've kept them waiting.
Our tactics are beyond surpass,
Our walk-out earns first rating.
It's chilly now in the sleek "Ep" house,
It's as pitch black as a cell.
It reeks like a drunken blue-green grouse.
Now, actives, go to . . . church on Sunday.

He's been on his way up
from the day he started work
James C. Bishop got his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois on June 23, 1953. On July 1, he went to work as a lineman in the Illinois Bell Telephone Company management training program. On July 2, he was "shinnying" up telephone poles.
He was promoted to Station Installation Foreman in July, 1957. Then came more training at company expense in human relations and other supervisory subjects -at Knox College.
And he's been "climbing" ever since. A planned rotational training program, interrupted by a stint in the Army, took Jim through virtually every phase of plant operations.
Since early 1953, Jim has been Central Office Foreman in the Kedzie District of Chicago, which embraces about 51,000 telephone stations. He has 19 men reporting to him.
"I was hired as 'a candidate for management,'" he says. "I know I'll get the training and opportunity to keep moving ahead. How far I go is up to me. I can't ask for more than that."
