men who loom up as big as any of the
Kansas backs. When Wilder went into
the Ames game late in the second hall
he tore great holes in the Iowa line. The
Tiger rooters wondered why he had not
been inserted before. Then, too, a look
at the Missouri lineup against Wash
ington shows that the Missouri coaches
are using two sets of backs. Wilder
and Ewing were used at full; Alexander
and Cook at one half and Grain and Sig
Ter at the other. Alexander will bear
watching in the game next Thursday
he has nothing to fear from a compari-
son with any member of Kennedy's back
field artists.
When Kennedy sends in his new back
field to batter away at the Missouri
line the Tiger coaches will substitute
practically a new line and one almost
as good as the regular line. In Barnes,
Carothers, Cove and Roberts Missouri
has a substitute line that is as good as
X. US sub back field.
This point must not be overlooked.
While Kennedy has been developing two
sets of backs MOnilaw has been tire
lessly working out two sets of linemen
And that the second set can go some
was shown in the Iowa game when three
regulars ornamented the side lines.
Verify, Kennedy had the right hunch.
Missouri isn't beaten yet" Next Sat
urday Kansas tackles Iowa. The score
of that game may be compared with the
MissOuri-Iowa score and the football
follower who cons over dope can draw
new lines on the strength of the Mis-
souri, and the Kansas elevens. Kansas
should win from Iowa by a good mar
gin, but the dope may run as it ran in
the Nebraska Kansas contest, where the
Cornhuskers were given the big edge.
Iowa may surprise Kansas. Anything
is possible in football. Then the Jay
hawkers will descend on Kansas City for
their annual game with Missouri And
if the Tigers come here physically fit
and play together there will be one
grand game of football on the gridiron at
park.

PRACTICE BEGINS

Prospect for Best Team in
University's History,
Lowman Says.

Leading Missouri Valley
Schools.
EXPERIENCED MEN IN SQUAD

Active practice on the Varsity Bas.
ketball team will begin Nov. 80. The
prospects that the University of Mis-
souri, will have winning team are
bright. The return of Burrus, Henley
Ristine, Bernet, Gardner. Driver and
Price. men of former teams, gives the
Tigers the largest number of expert
enced men they have had for some
years.
Besides these men Coach Lowman
will have the following men to choose
frOm-Graves, Nee, Stava, Roberts, w.
s. Smith, Stumph, Hayden, Williams,
Alexander and Prather. These men are
all experienced and have been members
of class teams.
The intention of the Athletic Depart
ment is to carry at least ten men on
each trip. This number is more than
has ever been taken before on basket
ball trip.
Basketball Schedule.
With the material at hand Coach
Lowman should develop a first class
basketball team.
The Tigers schedule for this year is
as follows:

PRESIDENT HILL SEES PRACTICE

The Tigers and the all-class-team
lined up against each other last night
and had one of the hardest scrimmages
seen on Rollins Field in several days.
The teams worked hard and fast for
twenty minutes and at the end the
score stood to S, neither side attempt
ing to kick goal after touchdown.
Before the Tigers went into the scrim-
mage they spent about half an hour
at the tackling dummy. More time
would have been given to this work
had not Bluck torn leg off the dummy
in tackling it. The Tigers then ran
through fast signal practice.
Gilchrist Runs Signals.
The work done by the Varsity was
good, considering that the men are still
sore from Saturdays game. The same
program will be gone through this even

Gilchrist was out running signals but
did not take part in the scrimmage.
President Hill watched the practice
last night for an hour and seemed to
be well pleased with the work done by
the men. -, ....: .

PHYSICAL CONDITION
TO Be BIG FACTOR
Missouri Has Good Chance
to Defeat Kansas on
Thanksgiving.
TIGERS CLASSY, SAYS CRITIC
Kennedy Has Two Sets of
Backs and So Has
MOnilaw.
TIGERS CLASSY, SAYS CRITIC

Missouri isn't beaten by any means
Those were the words of Bert Ken
nedy, the Kansas coach, when he return.
ed to Lawrence yesterday morning after
the fine victory of his team over Ne.
braska's highly touted aggregation, says
the Kansas City Star. Kennedy is right
Missouri isn't whipped by a whole lot
and Missouri will not come here with
team that will be easily whipped. The
Tigers have played their schedule and
the time between now and next Thurs
day will be spent in whipping the men
into better physical condition and per-
fecting the team play.
Physical condition will be a big fac
tor in the Thanksgiving game. At the
final whistle of the Kansas Nebraska
game the Jayhawkers were as fresh as
when they started. In the last half of
the Ames- Missouri game the Tigers were
'all in" The Tigers displayed great
form in the first half, and with fair
amount of the luck of the game would
have scored two touchdowns. The Ames
line was torn into threads. But in the
last half the Tiger ginger was gone.
Player after player left the game and
'some of them were carried from the
field.
Of course, even the best conditioned
athlete is subject to injury in football,
but injuries are few and far between
when a team is in as perfect condition
as was the Ames aggregation. Had the
Tigers been physically capable of play
ing the ball in the second half that they
did in the first the story of that game
would have been quite different. The
Tigers have had two hard games since
the Ames test and they now have nearly
two weeks for conditioning. If the Mis-
souri, team is not in almost perfect phys
ieal condition Kansas victory will be
a certainty.
Missouri Has Several Stars.
Individually the Missouri team looks
better than the Kansas eleven. Driver
and Nee, the Tiger ends, look better
than Pleasant and Rice To be sure,
paper dope in football is the same as
in baseball, frequently amounting to
nothing. often being double crossed
Anderson and Bluck of the Missouri line
are individual players who will make
the Kansas line step lively. "Tubby"
Graves is demon of the Carlson type,
only the Missourian is a bigger athlete
than the Kansas center. Ristine. the
Tiger center, will have more than his
hands full in holding the speedy Carlson
But Ristine has reputation as fighter.
Deatherage had the edge on johnson
until the Nebraska game The form
johnson showed in the victory at Lin
coin gives evidence that Deatherage will
not have the quarter back honors all to
himself. In the back field Kansas will
have the advantage in that Kennedy has
developed two complete sets of backs.
However, Missouri will not be a great
way behind in this respect. Monilaw
has developed several extra back field
