Gridders to end with MU
The KU football team closes its 1966 season as the Jayhawks meet Missouri at Columbia Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
A capacity crowd of 55,000 is anticipated at Memorial Stadium to view the 75th game of the oldest college football rivalry west of the Mississippi. It will be the biggest turnout ever to watch the nation's fifth-oldest battle.

THE MISSOURI athletic ticket office announced yesterday about 400 tickets are still available.
After yesterday's hour-and-a-half practice, KU coach Jack Mitchell said three Jayhawks who were injured in the 35-18 loss to Colorado definitly will not play.
They are Sandy Buda, offensive end, who suffered a shoulder separation; Dick Bacon, fullback,
with a twisted knee; and Steve
Heck, offensive guard, out with
a sprained ankle.
THE PLAYING STATUS of J. C. Hixon, defensive halfback, who suffered a torn rib cartilage, is still questionable.
Still recovering from bruises but expected to play are Bill Fenton, quarterback; Don Shanklin, offensive halfback; and Tom DiBiase, fullback.
"Fenton didn't seem to be running too well," Mitchell said, "but he will probably be okay for Saturday. He can't sprint."
MITCHELL IS worried about stopping the MU running game, particularly halfback Charlie Brown. The Tiger senior will attempt to break Bob Steuber's 2,004-yard rushing record set in 1940-42. He needs 113 yards.
"We need to stop their running game," Mitchell said, "and we have plenty of respect for their passing, too. They have physical strength in the line and speed in the backfield."
An 11-point favorite over KU, the Tigers upset Oklahoma 10-7, last week on Bill Bates' record-setting 52-yard field goal.
AS IT STANDS NOW. MU hns a 35-30-9 lead in the series which started in 1891. Mitchell has lost only once at Columbia, 34-14, in 1964.
KU hosts NCAA meet
KU will be host Monday to the 28th Annual National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Cross Country meet featuring four returning All-Americans.
KU has lost five successive games and hasn't beaten coach Dan Devine's team since the 23-7 win at Columbia in 1960. However, KU was forced to forfeit that win because the Big Eight later ruled halfback Bert Coan played while inelegible.
tion of Western Universities (AAWU); Charlie Messenger, Villanova, IC-4A; George Scott, New Mexico, Western Athletic Conference; Oscar Moore, Southern Illinois, Central Collegiate Conference, and Gary Tomczak, Drake University, Missouri Valley.
Scheduled to begin at 11:30 am., the six-mile event has attracted more than 400 entries from 53 colleges and universities.
Forty-five KU players will leave by chartered bus about 2:30 p.m. tomorrow for Jefferson City, Mo.
