The fact that Missouri gained through a 14 to 0 victory its first undisputed claim to Missouri Valley Conference leadership since 19 19 will be of only secondary importance in the final reckoning. The game was of greater import as an object lesson, upholding tile orthodox theory that a team should confine its aerial attack to the enemy's territory'- Kansas took foolhardy chances yesterday and two Missouri touchdowns resulted. This does not mean that the two teams were evenly matched and the Tigers triumphed only through unnatural causes. Missouri was the smarter team, had more driving power, tackled more fiercely and executed plays in more businesslike manner. However, in spite of this superiority it was unable to score, except when these scoring opportunities were created.

TIgrers Have Early Advantage. The two teams had battled without a score In the first half, with the Tigers having a distinct advantage in the opening period, while the Kansans outgained in the second. This should have pleased the Jayhawks mightily because they entered the game on the short end of the odds. It would have seemed the better part of wisdom to stick to defensive football and hope for ur a However, with the third period onlv little snent. Kansas took cos- session on its 23-yard line.
