The Jayhawks and Colorado will renew one of the Big Eight's most unpredictable football series Saturday when the two teams meet at 1:30 in Memorial Stadium in the Jayhawks' last home game of the year.
KU will bring a record of 2-5-1 into the game against the Buffalooes' 5-3-0, and even though Colorado is heavily favored, past games show that the underdog usually pulls a surprise.

NEW YORK—(UPI)—Saturday looms as the lull before the storm for top ranked Notre Dame and No. 2 rated Michigan State as the nation's top two collegiate powerhouses are heavy favorites in primers for their Nov. 19 showdown at East Lansing, Mich.
In other top 10 action, third ranked Alabama is a four touchdown choice over South Carolina, Nebraska (No. 4) is better than two touchdowns over Oklahoma State, fifth rated Georgia Tech is a 13-point choice over visiting Penn State, Arkansas, sixth nationally, is a seven point choice over Southern Methodist, UCLA (No. 8) is two touchdowns over Stanford, ninth ranked Georgia is an eight point pick over Auburn and Florida, tenth, is a 15-point choice over Tulane. Seventh ranked Southern California is idle.
half aerial attack as Colorado escaped with a 21-14 squeaker. Two years ago the favored Jay-hawks with Gale Sayers had a rough time beating a weak Colorado, 10-7. In the overall series, KU leads with a 12-11-1 victory margin.
ACCORDING TO KU coach Jack Mitchell, Colorado is as strong as any team in the Big Eight, and this statement was verified by the Buffs last week in their 26-0 rout of Missouri. Colorado's victory over the Tigers gave the Buffs a 4-2 league record with only KU left to play. Colorado closes the season Nov. 19 playing the Air Force Academy and apparently would project themselves into the bowl picture if they were to sweep the Jayhawks and the Falcons for a 7-3 mark.
Jayhawk fans will have reason for optimism Saturday if KU plays the way they did in the second half of the Nebraska game. After building up an 18-0 halftime lead, the Cornhuskers actually lost the second half to KU. 13-6. Nebraska edged Colorado earlier in the season by a score of 21-10 at Boulder.
According to the Colorado scouting report on KU, the Buffaloes are extremely concerned about the passing of Jayhawk quarterback Bill Fenton and the running of halfback Don Shanklin. Colorado assistant coach Ken Blair said KU is particularly strong on defense and defense is the key to the Jayhawks' game.
KU WILL HAVE several position changes for the Colorado game even though the only serious injury on the team right now is the hip pointer suffered by starting guard Bill Perry. His status will be in doubt until just before the game. If Perry cannot
play, Larry White, the No. 2 left guard, will take his place.

In other changes, Bob Kreutzer will play No. 1 center and Cliff Bilek will play behind him. Bob Douglass, starting fullback last week for his first action at that position, will return to quarterback playing No. 2 behind Fenton. Dick Bacon will start at fullback and Tom DiBiase will back him up. The defensive unit remains essentially the same.

Saturday's game will have the extra attraction of the 21st annual Band Day at KU. A predicted crowd of between 35,000 and 38,000 will see 88 high school bands composed of approximately 5,700 musicians.
