Football The annual rivalry between the two schools would be named the "Toilet Bowl" by a few jerking fans. But Kansas coach Glenn Mason doesn't think any of those jokes are the least bit funny as he prepares for the game against Kansas on Saturday against the Wildcats. It's a game that Mason and man12 players hope will leave the Kansas offense and defense with the last laugh, after they find that spark that will help dispel the team's mid-season blues. Mason said that as far as the players were concerned, the rivalry with K-State was just as big as the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry. "It is a sad state of affairs when people want to make fun of the Kansas-Kansas State,game," Mason said. "I think the last two games between us have been healthy for college football."

I now see very little of that." with the two bad games, but we're all excited about playing K State. I think that excitement is going to carry over to Nebraska, and end up with Missouri. Mason said that although tough competition would make the Jayhawks better in the long run, his team can be in need of victories to gain confidence. "We're like the salesman that keeps knocking on the door and doesn't make a sale." Mason said. "It's hard to sell yourself as a better person. But when it all said and done, people are going to ask how you many you've won."

The leads she referred to have been built and lost by Kansas in numerous matches this season. Against CMSU, he played in the first and third game. In the third game, Kansas took the first three-point lead of a tight game at 11-8 before again shutting down offensively and failing to score another point. At 11-8, Kansas had the defense serve opportunities that went wide. "We get a lead and then hit two or three servers out." Albizt said. "It's not like we're acing them.

After a CMSU timeout, the Jennies rallied to take the game without allowing the Jayhawks another point. Senior April Chavey, who led Kana- team," she said. "They're a good team and they played well."

Haunted Continued from p. 1b Halloween experiences "It's definitely the best I've been in Kansas City," said Susan Rustor. "I really don't want to be a very professional haunted house. The chanwash stuff, the dangling limbs — I just want to have a fun time." For 16 years, the owners of the Edge of Hell have been featuring grim and gruel amusements for Halloween thrill-seekers. Tracy Thomas, advertising coordinator for the Edge of Hell, said the owners of the haunted house were very theatrical, making the Edge of Hell more like a real haunted house than just an exercise in terror. "It has a five-story slide, and a swinging bridge that goes over a waterfall, live animals, including mammals, and real skeletons," Thomas said. "It depends on how scared you are," said Shirley Penner, who works for the haunted house Misty Darkness, 1327 Main St. in Kansas City. The average cost of admission to the haunted houses is $6, and a walk-through takes about 30 minutes. "We have a lot of different rooms, and the actors really put on a show," she said. "It seems more like seven because of all the ups and downs. Misty Darkness has been around about 10 years, and I remember here before it, will not be the same." For those not wanting to be scared quite out of their wits, Misty Darkness offers a "Fright Level" indicator "It's a glow-in-the-dark badge," she said. "If you're really too scared, or you have a small child, you can wear it over your shirt." A little bit, not on as much. Some haunted houses in the Lawrence and Kansas City area include: Mo.
