Realize That They May Not Have a
Walkover With Missouri.

Walkover With Missouri.
Lawrence. Kan, Nov. 27.-The Jay
hawkers went through one Of the hard
est scrimmages of the year last evening
in final preparation for the clash with
the Tigers. A week ago the men were
confident Of beating the Tigers so to 0.
Miller and Rouse changed the feeling
to one of uncertainty. Coulter viii be
able to get in the Thanksgiving game
at quarter, but 1t is not thought policy
to put him in on account of his should
er which is yet painful. The team is
almost half discouraged over the out
look. Even Donald is expecting that
the game will be one of the hardest
fought battles of the season. With Mil
Ter out of the back field and Rouse gone
from end the team is greatly weakened.
Ever since he had his collar bone brot
ken in the Manhattan game, Miller hsA
been unable to sleep on account of
pain.
In order to have a scrimmage last
the freshmen and they came out in full
force. The forward pass has to be
given up on account Of Miller's injury
as he was the only man on the team
that could be counted on to get the ball.
His experience in basketball made him
a valuable man.
When asked about the lineup. Kenne-
dy said: 'tAIl I know now is that
Donald will play left tackle and Brun-
ner viii be at fullbaek. Angney will
play quarter and Milton center"
surprised
rooters here since the official weights
were posted for it was seen that every
man on the Kansas team was out
weighed with the exception of Donald,
not as heavy as the men on the Mis-
souri, team in the same positions. This
is a eyeopener to the students who
thought that the Jayhawkers were
heavier than the Tigers.
Tigers Brace Up.
Columbia, No, Nov. 27.-The Tigers
have developed more ginger in their
play within the last few days than they
have shown at any time this year and
they are in better condition than they
have been at any other time during the
season. In spite of the hard work Of
the week the squad is free from Grip
pies. Miller, the tackle. who has been
laid up for two weeks, is out and has
been running signals with the squad
though he has not been in the scrim-
mage work as yet. 1t is now certain
that he will start the game against the
Jayhawkers and his presence will mean
that much to the right side of the line
The quarterbacks are all in condition
VIII be fit to direct the work Of the
team on Thanksgiving day At the end
positions the fastest men on the squad
are now fit for a hard game for the
first time in a month.
The Missouri line as it will start the
game will be about the same weight as
that of the Jayhawkers- Both guards
tip the scales at more than 200 pounds
The center, like the man he will OPP
pose. is a light weight but mighty good
for his inches. His weight IS 172
The Tiger tackles will be-,
slightly lighter than their opponent9N
both men weighing 1856. In the avfr-
age Kansas will have a little more than
one pound the advantage. The average
age of the elevens is exactly the same.

ers have the best of It and II they win
IL will be this asset which should count
most heavily in their favor.
