LAWRENCE, Kan. Nov. 29.-Thirty
Kansas Jayhawkers, accompanied by
Coach George ''Potsy" Clark, Line Coach
Schlademan and Trainer SDoc" Bailey,
left here at 8 O'Clock this morning for
Columbia where they will meet the Mis-.
souri, Tigers on Rollins Field tomorrow
afternoon. The squad will stop overnight
somewhere in Missouri working out
there this afternoon and arriving in Co
lumbia shortly before noon.
Every man on the squad is in good
condition for the fracas tomorrow. Sew
eral men. Davidson, Cave, Ivy and Weld
lein, were injured earlier in the scsson
but all will be ready TO start against
the Missourians. The men are in as
good a condition as when we met the
Army at wes, Point Coach Clark said
Tuesday. =
While the Jayhawkers have one Of the
lightest lines in the Valley, the Kansas
forward wall has been practically impreg.
nable TO every eleven except Nebraska.
The Oklahoma team was able TO gain
only 66 yards through the Kansas line
while the Kansas Aggies gained only Z
yards from scrimmage during sixty min
utes Of play.
Weidlein at center is probably the
strongest link in the Jayhawker defense.
He tips the scales at 1856 pounds and has
had much football experience. He is
supported by two fighting guards, Capt.
Severt Higgins and Alan Davidson,
weighing us and 100 pounds respective
ly. This is Higgins third year of Valley
football and his experience makes up for
his weight handicap. Davidson is known
as one of the hardest hitting linemeh in
the Valley.
Cave and Mosby will probably starr a.
tackle positions. While this is the first
year of varsity football for these two
men, Cave played one year with the Hays
Normal eleven and was cap,ain-eleci Of
that team when he came to Kansas. Mos
by has shown considerable ability in
breaking through the opposing line.
Black and Griffin are slated to handle
the wing positions. Both men won let.
tiers at end last year and they are play
ing the same style Of game.
Wilson. Burt, McAdams and Spur
geon is the probable lineup in the back.
field. The Kansas back6eld earlier in
the season showed its ability to gain
ground in the middle Of the field but
lacked punch when in the shadow Of the
enemy goal post. In the above comb.
nation, Coach Clark has an offensive with
drive.
Wilson will be remembered for his
generalship in the Kansas-Mssouri game
last year. Wilson handled the Kansans
throughout the whole game and his
strategy was largely responsible for the
Jayhawk victory. Burt, while playing
his first year Of Valley football. is known
as a line plunger of the old type and
seldom fails to make his gain. Sturgeon
is also line plunger and is speedier
than Burt.
McAdams is the outstanding star on
the Kansas eleven. Playing his last
year for the Crimson and Blue, this
sandy-haired Kansan has won the repu-
tation of being one Of the greatest half
backs in the Valley. He has ouipunted
his opponent in every game this year and
is also an open-6eld runner. In the
battle with the Kansas Aggies. Mac was
the major part Of the Jayhawker often
sive. He repeatedly skirted the Aggie
ends for ten, fifteen and twenty-five yard
gains.
Other men who will probably get in
the game tomorrow are Calvert at half,
Hodges at half, Kruger at half, Lon
borg at center. Ivy at tackle, Haley and
Holderman at guard. Kruger is con-
sidered one Of the Kansas regulars and
may start the game at half in place Of
Burt.
