The run came after Bob Helmbacher had put Kansas ahead with a 20-yard field goal, 17-15.

Jack Bastable, a kicker who was unveiled in a big way as a Missouri runner, put the game out of Kansas' reach by ripping 27 yards for a final Tiger tally. Fullback James Harrison scored twice for Missouri on runs of two and seven yards and Bastable contributed a 20-yard field goal. Trailing 9-0, Kansas got close just before halftime on Dan Heck's 64-yard touchdown bomb to Marvin Foster.
