Thirty Schools Invited To AAU Meet Here
Thirty colleges have been invited to participate in the first Missouri Valley AAU Cross Country Championship to be run on the KU campus at 4:30 p.m. November 18.
Kansas, which will seek its 30th conference victory against Oklahoma Saturday, will enter a full squad in the meet which will be sponsored by the Lawrence Recreation Commission in cooperation with the University.
The race will be run over a flat four mile course near Allen Field House. Wayne Bly, chairman of the Lawrence organization and Bill Easton, head track coach, will be in charge of the event.
Teams will be permitted to enter seven men, five of which will count in the scoring. Trophies will be awarded to the two winning teams and medals will go to the first 10 individual finishers.
Big Eight freshmen from Kansas. K-State and Missouri will be eligible to run unattached in the event.
This meet will give entering teams a chance for a final tuneup before the National Collegiate Cross Country championship on Nov. 25.
If the Jayhawkers are successful in the Missouri Valley meet and in the National Collegiate meet there would be a possibility for a try at the National AAU title.
According to Easton, it is up to the boys whether or not the team trys for a grand slam by participating in the National AAU meet held early in December by the Chicago Track Club over Chicago's $ g_{12}^{2} $ mile Washington Park course.
The Missouri Valley District takes in half of Missouri and all of Kansas. It is not known how many of the 30 teams invited will enter teams in the meet.
Kansas Runners In Final Dual Match
Kansas will close its dual meet conference competition when the Jayhawkers run against Oklahoma Saturday morning at Norman.
The team will leave Friday and fly to Norman where Jerry McNeal, Tom Skutka, Cliff Cushman, Bob Harrison, Brian Travis, Berry Crawford, and Don Greenly will run for KU.
A victory Saturday would be the 39th straight in conference competition for Kansas and would mean that this would be the 9th year over an 11 year period that the dual meet season has been closed with Kansas being undefeated.

Pass Defense Lapse Costly
The freshman football team began preparation this week for its second game of the year, with Missouri Nov. 8, with "even more fire and hustle" than previously, according to coach Rex Grossart.
The Jayhawker freshmen played their first game of the season Saturday, losing to Kansas State 21-13, as the Kansas State team took advantage of a Kansas lapse in pass defense to score three times on long passes.
Grossart said three men injured in Saturday's game will miss the Missouri game. They are backfull Doyle Schick, with a torn ligament in his knee, end Jim Goodrich, with a torn cartilage in his knee, and center Jerry Brown, with a shoulder separation.
"Our pass defense cost us the game, but in the line we did as well as they, and our team in general gave a good account of themselves," Mr. Grossart said.
"The game statistics speak for themselves," he added. "We gave up only 100 yards on the ground,
"Our line did very well in containing the Kansas State backs, and our blocking and tackling was good," he said. "Except for pass defense we did pretty well."
and the longest gain on the ground by Kansas State was nine yards," he said.
Grossart said Missouri defeated Iowa State 8-0 in its one game so far this season. He said Missouri had a very large squad and is supposed to be one of the best freshman squads in the conference.
Grossart was, as a whole, pleased with the showing of his team. His high opinion of the squad has not changed since the beginning of the year.
Since first team fullback Schick will not play against Missouri, Grossart has done some shifting in his backfield with Jim Spurney moving to left halfback and Roger Hill from left halfback to fullback. Ralph Caster is being tried at an end position after playing guard up to now.
Three men now out of practice with injuries will be recovered in time for the Missouri game. They
are quarterback Don Wrench, with a charley-horse. Hill with an injured knee and guard Rudy Mauser, with a groin injury.
In Saturday's game Kansas State had a total of 249 yards gained,149 of them from passing. KU had a total of 199 yards.
Grossart said in answer to criticisms of the Kansas line play that KU was playing a containing defense, and by not blasting in it appeared to some fans that the line was slow.
He said the Kansas State defense was a charging defense, and therefore appeared more spectacular to the fans. He cited the relative yards gained on the ground as evidence of the good job turned in by the Kansas line.
