Nobody Wants to Be Favored Tomorrow
Weekly fearless forecasters differ in picking the winner of tomorrow's KU-Missouri football classic—and both teams should be hoping the finger of victory is pointed at the opponent.
History has proven that in the annual border conflict, the underdog is actually the favorite. In the last six years since Jack Mitchell and Dan Devine took over their coaching jobs at KU and MU, the favored
team has never won. Also in that six-year span, the home team has never won.
Saturday's encounter will be No. 73 in a series which is the fifth oldest in the nation and the most ancient west of the Mississippi. Missouri holds a 33-30-9 edge in the W-L-T ledger, and KU has a 17-point spread, 827-810.
the league title with Nebraska if the Cornhuskers fall to Oklahoma tomorrow and the Jayhawks down MU.
KU, now riding second in the league with a 5-1 record, can share
BOTH MISSOURI (5-3-1) and KU (6-3) have received informal feelers from the Gator, Bluebonnet and Sun bowl officials. A post-season trip for either team, however, will probably rest on a victory tomorrow.
to raise his career rushing mark, which is the best in conference history.
Gale Sayers, KU's senior All-
American, will have his last chance
Sayers can also earn an unprecedented third consecutive conference rushing title in his final game tomorrow. But he will have to greatly outdistance Oklahoma's Jim Grisham who is now tied with Sayers and has two games remaining.
GARY DUFF, senior defensive
halfback for the Jayhawks who is leading the team in tackles,has a shot at two school career records.
With 48 extra-point kicks and six field goals, Duff is just one kick away from the KU varsity record in both departments. Assistant Coach Don Fambrough, two-time all-conference guard in '46 and '47, holds the extra point record of 49. John Suder registered the field goal mark during his 1958-60 career.
KU will send a five-man cross country team to the National College Championship meet Monday at East Lansing, Mich. Forty-eight schools are represented with 36 sending full teams and 368 men are expected to run.
KU Sends Thin Team to C.C. Nationals
The National Collegiate Track Coaches' meeting is held in conjunction with the event. Coaches Bill Easton and Roy Timmons will attend from KU.
Six of the Big Eight schools will be represented, KU, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State will send full teams, with Iowa State, Colorado and Missouri having individuals entered.
Team captain Herald Hadley, Bill Silverberg, Ken Holm, John Lawson and Tom Yergovich are entered, with Lowell Paul attending as a manager and, if necessary, a substitute. Paul has been out most of the season with injuries.
Coach Easton expects Notre Dame, Western Michigan and Villanova to offer the most opposition. Kansas will be running with only five men, two short of a full complement, but enough to qualify as a team.
The meet will conclude the cross
country season for KU. However, Silverberg will participate in the National Federation meet Thanksgiving Day at Washington Park in Chicago. This is a 10,000 meter run (6 miles, 376 yards, 1 foot and 2 inches) against the top runners in the country.
