But Mitchell Worries

KU Has Edge on Buffs
Season records would seem to indicate that KU (5-3) will have little trouble with Colorado (1-7) in the Jayhawks' last home game of the season tomorrow.
"Somehow we're going to have to stop Colorado or we won't have the ball all day." Mitchell said yesterday after the Jayhawks spent their last heavy practice working on goal line defense and offense, and all aspects of the kicking game.
But KU Coach Jack Mitchell is just as pessimistic as usual—and possibly with good reason.

"THEY HAVE the best passing percentage in the conference and have moved the ball against everyone," Mitchell said. "They are the most improved team in the conference.
"Frankly, I wonder how we're winning when I look at our offensive and defensive statistics. We probably don't have as good a team as our record shows, and Colorado is better than its record," the KU coach said.
Mitchell said linebacker George Harvey, who suffered a knee injury last week against Nebraska, will see action tomorrow. But veteran linebacker John Garber, who has started on the offensive unit the last four games, will start in place of Harvey. Mike O'Brian will take Garber's place on offense.
THE JAYHAWK'S task tomorrow is not overemphasized by Mitchell. In two games against common first-division foes, Oklahoma and Nebraska, CU's figures are more impressive than KU's.
The Buffaloes earned more offensive yardage in a 14-11 loss to the Sooners than KU did in posting a 15-14 victory. Also, CU held Oklahoma to less total offense than did Kansas, by a margin of 220-347.
In losing to undefeated Nebraska, 21-3, Colorado gave up 299 yards to 379 picked up by the Cornhuskers against KU.
COLORADO BROKE Nebraska's hold on all team statistics departments last week by taking over the pass defense lead with a per game average of 71.3 yards. KU ranks next-to-last in the department with an average yield of 117.3 yards.
DON STALWICK, Colorado assistant coach who scouted KU's loss to Nebraska last Saturday, reported favorable impressions of the highly-touted KU backfield.
Pass defense may be a determining factor in tomorrow's Parents' Day contest. Bernie McCall, CU's sophomore quarterback, leads the conference in passing accuracy with a .567 completion percentage.
McCall is fourth in passing yardage with 469 yards, just one spot ahead of KU's sophomore quarterback, Bob Skahan, who has thrown for 415. Skahan is third in accuracy with a .554 mark.
"I was most impressed by the Kansas offensive backfield," Stalwick said. "It is a great one, probably the most dangerous one in the Big Eight.
"On most teams, Mike Johnson would be the star. But not when
Stalwick also praised fullback Ron Oelschlager, but said "The man who makes the Kansas backfield click is quarterback Bob Skahan."
Gale Sayers is in the backfield," the Buffalo coach said.
COLORADO HAS posted its lone victory against Iowa State, with a 14-7 victory at Ames the week after KU downed the Cyclones, 42-6. But four of CU's seven defeats have come by an average of four points.
"He (Skahan) was right on the money with every throw Saturday. He has great poise and is an effective, scrambling runner."
The Jayhawks hold a narrow edge of 11-10-2 in the series, with a 43-14 win last year and 35-6 two years ago.

QUANTRIL DID NOT STOP US
When Quantril and his men raided Lawrence, burning buildings and killing people, many businesses were ruined. One of the buildings burned was the first established drug store west of the Mississippi, ROUND CORNER DRUG STORE. Quantril did not stop us though. Our store was quickly rebuilt and we again served the Lawrence area.
Since that time ROUND CORNER DRUG STORE has grown in size and kept its fine reputation. The store has been enlarged, remodelled, and continuously stocked with a variety of products, including name brand cosmetics and Whitman and Pangburn candies. We now have five pharmacists to serve your every pharmaceutical need.
People have been shopping and buying at ROUND CORNER DRUG STORE for over 100 years. Mel Fisher, owner and pharmacist, was a K.U. student himself. He knows how the students appreciate fine service and wide selections of quality products.
Why not let ROUND CORNER DRUG STORE serve you?
