Missouri, defending champions
of the Big Six, will open their
1940 season this Saturday with St.
Louis at Columbia. Following
games are with Pittsburgh,
Kansas State, Iowa State, Nebras
ka, New York U., Colorado and
Oklahoma. The Cornhuskers will
entertain Missouri in Lincoln, Oc
tober 26.
The Tigers will be short on ends
this year. The Orf twins, Bob and
Bud, Blaine Currence and Still
man Rouse, are missing along
with 11 other lettermen. Jack
Lister, promising soph end, has
suffered a possible fractured wrist.
Last year's Tiger attack used
many pass receivers, and a short
age of ends would bop down the
striking power of the lads from
Columbia.
Coach Don Fourot has 16 letter
men returning, including Pitchin'
Paul Christman, All-American of
1939. Christman's injured leg is
showing continued improvement
and in the annual varsity-frosh
game at Columbia last Saturday
Paul played 15 minutes with no
apparent strain on the leg. The
varsity won, 58-12.
Missouri should be strong in the
backfield this year, with Bill
Cunningham, junior fullback, and
Christman carrying a large part
of the burden. Some outstanding
sophomore stars should come from
Harry Ice, Red Beattie, Jerry
Davis and Ralph Carter. ,
Weak at ends
The Tiger line, however, prob
ably will be weak due to the loss
of ends. Players in the re3t of the
line should be able to hold their
own with opponents, but with no
ends to catch Christman's passes
Missouri's entire attack would be
less effective.
Coach Don Faurot is no pessim
ist about the chances of the
Tigers to repeat in 1940 and if he
can develop some good ends from
the sophomore crop and returning
lettermen, Missouri may be a
good chance for a repeat per
formance in football this year.
WEDNESDAY: Oklahoma.
sourl valley, Nebraska's Cornhusk
ers, as you know, suffered a let
down in scoring, caused by hot
weather and a long day of drilling
on Friday.
Good news in the Husker camp
was in the winds, however, as
"Cowboy" Petsch and "King
Kong" Kahler were due back in
full running stride and ready for
duty this week.
One of these days, these poten
tial barnburners are going to be
turned loose and some record runs
are liable to be scored.

Cyclones begin
play; Missouri,

Iowa Slale skins Luther
college, 27-0; Wildcats,
Tigers begin Saturday
Eig Six thorobreds of the grid
iron are still taking their exercises
in preparation for the start of the
big event the conference race
and already one of the darkhorses
has taken a trial run.
Last Saturday, Iowa State took
a test run and the results proved
satisfactory to the Cyclone han
dlers. Luther college was passed
up by a 27-0 advantage in which
hard running and aerial attacks
were both used.
Two more stalwarts go to the
starting post this weekend. Mis
souri faces St. Louis U. on Sat
urday, Kansas State meets Em
poria Teachers on the same day,
while the Cyclone entry runs
again, only this time on Friday
night.
Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Kan
sas U., however, do not have their
first running and public showing
until the following Saturday.
Missouri ridet high.
Against Missouri yearlings the
Tiger strongheart romped over the
freshmen by a 58-12 triumph. The
ace Tiger Jockey, Paul Christman,
was riding in good form and
tossed two scoring aerial flips.

The mudders were sparked in the

but indifference, like using
a faulty pen, kept him
behind the 8-Ball
Harry bad everything, except a sense of discrimi
nation. Perhaps be leaned too heavily on his natural
gifts. Anyway be never added to them in college, but
laughed things otf like the times his old-fashioned
pen ran dry in classes and exams. Our bright alumnns
is out in the world today a man who could have given
orders, be is taking them.
Sure, it seems far-fetched, but you'll be surprised
what a great big difference it makes in your grades to
carry a sure-fire pen like tbe Parker Sacless Vacumatie,
It's this revolutionary streamlined Beauty that never
runs dry unless you let it. For its sacless Television
barrel holds nearly twice as much ink as our old type,
and it lets you SEE days ahead if it's running low.
It's the only Style that looks like circlets of shim
mering velvet ring upon ring of luminous Pearl and
Jet. The One-Hand sacless filler with the "lubricated"
Point of extra fine-grained 14 K Gold, extra resilient
tipped with Osmiridhim that writes"i smooth as oiL"
It's the college favorite by nearly 3 to 1 to h rates
one "in the Know" to carry the genuine.
Be sure to look for Parker's Blue Diamond
it means Guaranteed for Life. Avoid all sub
Utates - then you'll have no regrets.
