Final GridfrOn Struggle.
Lawrence. Nov. 21.-Trained to the
minute. with every player in good
condition and confident of victory,
the Kansas football squad. twenty
strong, accompanied by coaches and
trainers, left here yesterday and
went to Moberly, where the squad
will rest until Saturday. The trip to
Columbia for the annual conflict with
the Tigers will be made Saturday
morning.
In keeping with his usual method
of holding from the followers OF tho
eleven any information as to the
whereabouts of the squad for the two
or three days before the game, Coach
| Mosse hurried the squad out OF Law
renee without the students knowing
in advance that the start was to Do
made before some time today.
The players will be kept away from
| followers Of the game, until time Tor
the battle in Columbia They will
| have only light signal drill from now
! on. but the coaches believe in their
being as quiet as possible before the
game SO that they will be on edge Tor
the hardest fight OF the year Satur-
. day.
| During the past week the offense OF
! the Kansas eleven has been strength
ened some The defense has been
/ strong all year. but the so-called
Minnesota shift has failed to prove
| of much value to date and some new
plays have been developed with
which the Jayhawkers hope to BATTLE
the ancient enemy on Rollins field.
Betting on the big game has start
| ed in this city and even money was
| placed in most places Supporters OF
neither team care to give odds, ng-
uring that it is as much os toss up
as any football game can be. There
/ have been a few bets made on wheth-
er one or the other team will score
and on the total score for the con-
test.
."The Jayhawkers are going against
a good team in Missouri. but every
effort has been strained in getting the
eleven ready for this. the final con-
test, and it will be q different brand
of bali that is displayed Saturday
from that shown in previous games,
i and l think that our chances Tor q
victory are as bright as can be
wished for" said Coach Mosse.
The line which goes against the
II Tigers will be the same as has played
/ in the last two Kansas games, but
the coaches declare that the backfeld
is I'M in the air. 1t is certain that
Butch Stuewe will start at full
back, but the coaches have three
pairs of halfbacks and they are un-
| as
start Sommers and Martin compose
one pair, Greenlees and Detwiler,
second couple, while Bishop and Tu-
dor are q team which has just been
developed this past week. Then there
is Jimmy Parker, who is an extra
and works with any one OF the SIX.
At present it looks as II it will be
Greenlees and Detwiler. In the event
/ that Tudor starts in the backheld.
Strother will be used at right end.
"Bunny' Wilson will engineer the
team at quarterback.
The line will be Reber, left end:
weidlein, left tackle; James, left
guard: Keeling, center; Mulloy, right
III euard: Burton, right tackle; Tudor
/ or Strother, depending upon whether
| or not Tudor is shifted to the back
| field, at right end.
