BOTH ARE CONFIDENT.
Kansas aud Missouri Each Expect to
Win Thursday-B Betting Even


On Thursday afternoon the hardest
battle ever fought on western grid
iron will be waged at Kansas City be
tween the Kansas University and the
Missouri University teams.
Not since the annual Thanksgiving
game between the two universities was
begun in 1891 have such teams been
sent to represent them on the field
Kansas, so far this season, with a rec
ord of victories and no defeats. Mis-
souri, with scores piled up to 80 and 40
points. The Kansas line is made up
of giants. The backs are fast. If
there is a decided difference in weight
Missouri has the advantage.
Coach White, of the Missouri team,
was the famous tackle and center on
the Cornell team in 1896. YOSt, who
looks after the Kansas team, was the
coach for the Nebraska team last year.
He found the weak points in the team
during the Haskell game and in one
week his coaching brought out a solid
line and a wonderful interference. The
team is almost AN all star aggrega-
ton" Meehan. at center, owen at
quarter, Moore, Avery and Tucker have
shown in past games what interference
win do.
Kramer, captain and center Of the
NJ. L. team is a veteran at football Ad
Hill, from the famous football family
of Hills, is playing next to center as
he has against K. L. for three years.
Shawhan and Young, the two famous
backs of the Tiger team OF '95 say Mis-
souri, was never so well represented as
now.
The Kansas teams have Won six out
of the eight games played Three times
have the Jayhawkers shut out the tt
gers. Since 1896 and including the
game that year, Kansas has had a
Walkaway with the yellow legs unable
to score. The following is the list of
games as played and won:
