the athletic attention this week end.
College players, students, coaches and
alumni kept an ear cooked toward Co
lumbia, Mo-, where committee OF
Conference faculty men were assembled
to consider charges of subsidiZation
and PROSECUTING involving at least hall
the Conference members.
Two Conference games were sched-
uled, Iowa State at Kansas and Kansas

in both cases are co-leaders Of the cir
cult, each having won a game. Kansas
was generally favored over the Iowans
but the Sooner-Aggie melee was rated
an open affair.
Nebraska meets q Conference foe
in Montana State In Lincoln and proe
ably win use reserves all possible to save
the regulars for the hard games to
come on successive week ends - Pitt
Kansas and Missouri.
Missouri, scoreless thus far In three
Conference games, meets Drake ir
Columbia for its fourth and last oppo.
nent before the Tigers undertake theil
hve-game titular grind.
Over a period of years Missouri holds
the edge on Drake Victories and de.
feats are about evenly divided in thu
Kansas-Iowa State and Oklahoma-Ag

Cornhuskers.
