Missouri game offers drum as prize
By Debbie Myers
Kansas staff writer
When Kansas and Missouri go head to head tomorrow at Memorial Stadium, the stakes will be higher than the final score.
This year's winner will be presented with an Indian war drum, reinstating a tradition that started in 1836 and has been sporadic at best since then.
Loren Tayler, director of member ship development at the University of Kansas Alumni Association, said he tried to find out why the rival schools had stopped passing the drum to each other and asked them to go after he read about the tradition.
Legend has it that the drum was an authentic Ossie Indian war drum purchased in a Kansas City, Mo., pawn店 by two KU alumni who
No one at either school seemed to know what happened to the original drum, so in 1066, Taylor purchased a pair from Taji and the drum made by Tsai Indians for $70.
The two alumi chose the drum in honor of the warriors who roamed the Kansas and Missouri plains long before the daws of football.
wanted to spice up a 26-year-old tradition of passing a golden football splashed with crimson and blue.
Ironically enough, the original drum was found in the basement of an Missouri administration building the day Taylor received the new one in his office. But the old drum was so destroyed that it has since been destroyed.
Taylor said the tradition died once again after the 1987 game because the groups in charge of the drum at
But Taylor hopes it will flourish once again starting tomorrow with a little help from the alumni associations at both schools.
both schools did not have a strong enough interest in keeping it alive.
"Alumni associations essentially are tradition keepers at all universities, so I think we have a greater chance in those in the past," Tavlor said.
Molly Green, Student Alumni Association member, said four members of the MU Student Alumni Board would present the drum to four members of the KU Student Alumni Association before tomorrow's game in honor of the tradition, KU student team and the Alumni Association.
After the game, the losing school will present the drum to the winning

Taylor said he wanted the drum, which is made of wood, bound with leather and adorned with a Jayhawk and a Tiger on each end, to be a tangible award for the winner of future Kansas-Missouri games.
Valerie Goodin, assistant director of Alumni Relations at the University of Missouri, said Missouri alumnus hoped to help Missouri students enjoy the traditions and camaraderie of college life by reinstating the tradition.
"We're pretty excited about it," Goodin said. "You know the football rivalry between MU and KU is the oldest west of the Mississippi. We compete in a friendly competition that exists between two great schools."
Great Midwest Conference is created
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — The structure of Division I college basketball continued to change yesterday with the official of the Great Midwest Conference.
The formation of the NCAA's 34th conference ends DePaul's independent status. The Blue Demons join Alabama-Birmingham, the university of Cincinnati, Marquette, Memphis State and St. Louis University in the non-football conference, which will begin play in the 1991-92 season.
It may also mean the end of the Metro Conference, which now has four members with the defection of Cincinnati and Memphis State on top of prior departures by Florida State and South Carolina.
"Our 92-year search for a conference is over," said Bill Bradshaw, DePaul athletic director. "Any time you take that long to do something,
you are obviously very particular. This conference offers all we are looking for philosophically, academically and athletically."
DePaul, passed over for an NCAA tournament bid last season with an 18-14 record, has been looking for years for a league that could help its postseason chances and simplify scheduling opponents.
The offices of the Great Midwest will be located in Chicago as is DePaul, but little else is definite.
When asked about such particulars as a commissioner, television coverage, scheduling and sharing of revenues, Bradshaw said, "All these questions will be answered by Jan. 1."
He indicated the new league had been approached by some television carriers but said the conference felt that they were not being well-received by new members, it could demand
greater opportunities in coverage and finances.
Cincinnati athletic director Rick Taylor called the conference a great concept. "We have a creditable team, it's in stature from the start," he said.
Marquette AD Bill Cords said, "We are coming from a great conference of fine institutions and leadership and going to a conference of great achievement."
Marquette and St. Louis came in from the Midwestern College Conference, and Alabama-Birmingham was in the Sun Belt Conference.
The universities of Louisville, Dayton and Detroit have been mentioned as early candidates for expansion.
Metro commissioner Raul McPhelin said yesterday that his conference would shape its meetings with the governors of Midwest's official announcement.
"We have and will continue to meet with prospective members," McFeniland said from Atlanta. "I see this as an opportunity to expand our membership into new areas as well as identity regions with present members."
"I am disappointed to hear that two of our members have joined another conference. All six institutions agreed last month to come back to the table in 30 days to determine if solutions could be reached. . . For those members not to honor this agreement is regrettable."
Earlier this year Florida State went to the Atlantic Coast Conference and South Carolina left for the Southeastern Conference.
Under NCAA rules, the new league will have to wait five years before it can be considered for an automatic NCAA tournament bid.
