No Jealousies BY DAROLD JENKINS

Missouri Captain and AIl.AmeFl.
 can Center
 Edgewater, Park, Miss, Dec. 30.-- The big thing about this Missouri team is the complete lack of petty jealousies that are usually present on 6 championship squad. Everyone plays for the team, and everyone helps then other fellow. The squad doesn't divide itself Into little sliqueS but rather every member of the team iS welcome to go anywhere with anyone ct any time.
 Perhaps the only exception Is that some of the boys are right sharp poker players.
 Another thing that has had e lot to do with building our team B Coach Faurot. On the field, the coach is c little hard to get along with ct times. It seems that we can never quite please him, but of the field he Is q regular guy. He has helped many of the boys in such Q manner that they'll never be able to pay him back.
 The coach always insists t1at promises made to him be kept, and always sees that he keeps his own, That's the kind Of Q gang we have, We have . job to do New Years Day and I'm willing to leave 1t to the 73,ooo fans to check lip on how wo do 1t.
 Opposites
 The two rival captains are oppo. site types. Sartori, son Of miner, halls from Sheppton, Pa. He hasn't had 1t easy any of his life. He once had to quit school to work in a New York Automat. He likes to read Zane Grey and considers Jim Thorpe the greatest football player of all time.
 Jenkins is Q typical small town middle western boy from Higgins vile, Mo. He is dark and swarthy and has . corn-fed type of VIII Rogers humor. He thinks All- America stuff is c lot Of bunk and says he has more trouble playing poker than football.
