It was the Spartans' fourth consecutive victory of the season and one of their hardest battles. The Spartans might not have won the game at all had it not been for the presence on the field of the phantom halfback and bugaboo of all coaches, Old John Fumble. He was cavorting in the Missouri back-field all afternoon and succeeded in making a dreary October day into a nightmare for Don Faurot, the Missouri coach.
