FOR YOUR DRIVING CONVENIENCE-Fifty organized houses have spent the past week preparing Homecoming decorations for the convenience of the public. Friday evening and Saturday thousands of persons will view these decorations. With this in mind The Daily Kansan has prepared this map of the KU campus with the
houses marked that will have decorations. The top of the map is north facing toward the Kaw River. When the map was made Delta Tau Delta fraternity was omitted. It should have appeared in the upper left hand corner on 11th Street across from Phi Kappa fraternity. (Map by Daily Kansas staff artist.)
Second Place Is Homecoming Goal
KU Seeks Best Conference Finish Since 1947 Season
Kansas' football team Saturday faces what will probably be its most important game since 1952.
Aside from the fact that the Jayhawkers meet Missouri in the 66th annual meeting, fifth oldest rivalry in the nation, this year's game is for second place in the Big Eight, a spot Missouri has occupied four times since the Big Seven was formed in 1948 while Kansas has been no higher than third. The Jayhawkers and Tigers are tied, 29-29-7, in the series.
Both teams stand even in conference play at 3-2 and comparative strength appears to be equal. The loser of Saturday's Homecoming game in Memorial Stadium will drop back into a third place tie with the winner of the Colorado-Iowa State game.
Missouri coach Frank Broyles, when asked what aspect of KU's play concerned him most, answered, "Their morale. It's great. The fact that they are winning makes them dangerous."
The picture on this game has changed considerably from what it was three weeks ago. Kansas at that time had won only one game, Chuck Mather and five of his assistants had resigned and the Tigers were being hailed as the team to challenge Oklahoma.
Missouri lived up to its advance billing by edging Colorado, 9-6 and Nebraska, 14-13 but proved no challenge whatsoever to the Oklahoma team that squeaked by Colorado and Kansas State and was defeated by underdog Notre Dame.
Missouri, instead, was dealt a severe blow last Saturday in Columbia when Frank Broyles' scrambling defense succeeded only in confusing his Tigers and Kansas State rushed 412 yards from scrummage in winning, 23-21, to give Kansas a chance at its first second place league finish since 1932. (Kansas won championships in 1930, 1946 and 1947.)
Meanwhile, Kansas was assembling a modest 3-game victory streak. The first victim was Nebraska, a game which saw Don Feller come into his own while Homer Floyd, who had been playing brilliantly all along, began to see his efforts add up to touchdowns.
Missouri's quarterback Phil Snowden has connected on 24 of 57 pass attempts and another sophomore, Charles Rash, has not missed a conversion in 25 straight attempts.
Missouri's ground gaining threat is Hank Kuhlmann who carried the ball 24 times out of 40 ground plays against Kansas State. The big fullback is the league's fifth ranking rusher with 447 yards.
The game will be televised regionally by KMBC-TV of Kansas City, Mo.
