6 Friday, November 22, 1974 University Daily Kansan SPORTS MU last foe in frustrating year for KU By JIM SHELDON Associate Sports Editor Five weeks of frustration for the University of Kansas football team will end, or worse, when KU takes on Mission Valley at 1:30 p.m., tomorrow at Faurot Field in Columbia. After a 4-1 start, the Jayhawks have lost five in a row and will be attempting to salvage at least some respect against traditional rival Missouri. The series between the two schools is the oldest football rivalry west of the Mississippi, and the Kansan Predictions Tiger's hold a slim three-game edge in the 82 games that have been played. In but recent years, KU has dominated. KU has won the last three contests and for KU's seniors, a victory tomorrow would mean an undefeated career against the Tigers, which is something the Missouri seniors would like to spoil. "Actually, things that happen in the past are gone," Missouri Head Coach Al Oniorio said. "Each year is a new game. But of course, we don't want to lose the fourth one."

The game also takes on added importance simply because it is the last game of the season for both squads. Winning your last game can mean a lot to your staff's m劣le and your recruiting, according to Onofrio and KU Head Coach Damb Fombaugh. "The last game is important because it's usually against your traditional rivals, but also because it's the last game." Onofrio said. "You don't want to have to live with a loss and have to rectify it the rest of the year." Outside of the rivalry and ending on a winning note, there really isn't a whole lot at stake in the contest. Neither team is going to a bowl game and neither is in contention for Big Eight honors. Missouri, now 64, has assured itself of a winning lineup, but KU, now 46, will suffer through its fifth losing session in the last six years. The Tigers, who are always strong defensively, have also shown flashes of an explosive and balanced offense this year, in addition to numerous runs, newcomers, quarterback Steve Pisarkiewicz and tailback Tony Galbreath, have been the main reason for Mizzou's success. Piskiewicz took over the quarterback job in the second half of Missouri's biggest victory of the year 21-10 at Nebraska. Galhreth was moved from backfill to 2 KU harriers to run in nationals Tom Koppes and Bill Landberg qualified for the National Collegiate Athletic Association cross country finals next week at Bloomington, Ind. The two, University of Kansas juniors, will run in the race. That much is certain. The process by which KU qualified two runners, however, is a masterpiece of confusion. Lundberg called his qualifying race his "only bad race of the year," and yet he earned a spot in the finals as the top individual runner. Kopper went to the race and then we were going to have fun" and ended up having more fun than he thought he'd have. "It was pretty bad," he said. "I didn't run a smart race." The week before the qualifying race, Koppes had a "terrible race." He finished 33rd in the Big Eight meet at Iowa State University. Koppes, who held the Iowa State course record, was favored to finish much higher in the second round. Eight championship were eliminated, however, and he went into the regional qualifying race at Columbia, Mo., with the No. 1 seed headed up qualifying for the national finals. Lundberg, on the other hand, was fighting off the effects of a mid-week illness that left him exhausted prior to the qualifying races. Big Eight coaches were surprised after the All-America team's All-America candidate like Koppes, finished far back in the pack. "I felt pretty good before the race, but I was drained," he said. "I was disheartened. I was warming down after the race when the coaches called me over." The events that followed left Lundberg with a warm opinion of the coaches in the Big Eight, and left KU with a second entrant in the national finals. Lundberg, a consistently fine runner for the KU team this season, had run his worst race of the year, and the coaches realized it. They therefore, overlooked his poor finish. Instead, the coaches looked back to the Big Eight meet the week before and noted Lundberg's strong seventh-place finish in that race. Because all the runners who finished ahead of him in the Big Eight meet already had qualified for the national finals on teams, Lundberg was named the top individual performer of the Big Eight. Koppes, a California native, had had disappointing seasons in his freshman and sophomore years. For a number of reasons, he said, he never performed as he would have liked for the Jayhawks. This year, however, things are going well. One of the reasons is that he is now used to Kansas weather. Compared to Koppes, who was ranked fifth in the nation during his senior year of high school in California, Lundberg is a relative newcomer to running. At high school in Jackson, Mich., Lundberg was a basketball player. He finally decided to try running in the spring of his senior year and by the end of his first season, Lundberg had become a regional champion and finished seventh in the state. tailback when starter Bill Ziegler was hurt earlier in the season. He has since gained the ability to make up for Ziegler's absence and subsequent injury to tailback Ray Bybee. "Even with them in there we still have had our ups and downs," Onofrio said. "What really hurts us now is not having Bybee, just as I'm sure Miller's (KU) fallback Robert, who was hurt earlier in the past which had hurt Kansas. He was our friend." For the most part, KU has avoided serious injuries this year, but the 'Hawks' lost seven to Oklahoma, often offensively. Last week against Oklahoma, the 'Hawks turned to experimentation and tried K.
