ByKiflyKbunea Bfissearfaniptrtswritef Kyou have heard that the Fighting Eliqi have a good chance to beat Missouri today, don't chuckle. Because for the Tigers, the 1: 30 pjn. battle at Faurot Field is no laughing matter. You see, last year after Illinois had upset M. U., a story from the Champaign News- Gazett- e was posted in the Missouri locker room. The story quoted a player who said, " If we could play Missouri every week we'ddoit" A pretty arrogant statement wouldn't you say? Well, it may have been. But the Fighting Iflini had good reason to be a bit flippant After all, the loss marked the second consecutive year that Illinois had defeated the Tigers, despite being big underdogs. And if not for a strong Missouri second- hal- f performance in 1975, when the Tigers won 30- 2- 0, the Dlini would be looking for victory No. 4 today in as many years. With more than 60,000 fans expected, the weather is expected to be mostly sunny with temperatures at game time about 62 degrees ( 17 C). " Illinois has a good team and they'll come out and beat your tail off if you're not ready," said Missouri Coach Warren Powers, whose team goes into the game a 15- poi- nt favorite. " But this team has lost to them two years in a row and I have no doubts that they'll be ready for them. " You can always expect Illinois to do well," he said. " Gary Moeller is a fine coach, and you can bet he'll have is team ready." ' - And although Moeller, who was a defensive coach at Michigan for eight years, was in charge last year when the Illini put it to the Tigers 11-- 7, he's not ex-pecting an easy game this aftenoon. " In order to win," he said, " we're going to have to play a mistake- proo- f game. Missouri has proved iself to be a much more consistent team this year, and it's ( See MISSOURI, Page 6A) Toy causes teen- ager- 9s ' asthma' ROELAND PARK, Kan. ( UFI) For the past 10 years Aaron McKume had accepted his wheezing, coughing and general listlessness as the inevitable effects of asthma. But Wednesday ' doctors at Bethany Medical Center in Kansas' City, Kan., " cured" the 18- year-- old of his " astb- - , matic condition" by removing a three--, quarter- inc- h ( 1.9- centimet- er) plastic building Mock from his long. McKinzie, who said be was tormented by playmates for the past decade for being lazy and fat, said he couldn't remember how the toygot there. ' " The last time I recall playing with them ( the buQding blocks) was eight or 10 years ago," he said from Ins hospital bed Friday. " I figure I must have swallowed it" McKinzie's physician, Dr. Frank Bichlmeir, said the boy probably was playing with the tiny plastic brick, stuck it in " his mouth and inhaled. The toy became stuck in the lung. " It's almost inconceivable for me to believe it's been in there all that time," the doctor said. " But I can't prove it wasn't" He said although inhaling a toy into a lung was sort of unique, ' Tve seen all sorts of tilings ( in chrfdrens' lungs)." Bichlmeir said be was concerned flat the toy might have destroyed half of McKinzie's lung, but that would have to be determined by additional testing. He also said the McKinzie actually might have asthma. McKinzie,' however, was convinced he was cured as soon as he found be ' could breathe easily again'It feels like I got most ofmy lung back," he said. It's been a long wait Classmates in Goshen, Ind., where be lived the past eight years, constantly told him he was lazy, overweight and " didn't want to do anything about it" " I couldn't do anything. I wanted to real bad but when you can't breathe, you can't do much," McKinzie said. McKinzie, who returned to the Kansas City area about six weeks ago to live with his family, said the aggravation prompted him to enter the hospital. But McKinzie was not optimistic. He said years of X- ra- ys had shown nothing more than an inflammation on the lung. On Tuesday, however. Dr. Robert Ferguson lowered a small flexible bronchoscope through McKinzie's nose and discovered the toy. Using a tool with alligator- li- p forceps " lowered through the bronchoscope, Bichlmeir also removed the piece. In town today 1: 31 pjn.

Ray Beck, acting city manager, would fit the council criteria, said Bob Smith, head of the City Manager Selection Committee, if he had applied in time. " He had experience in supervising personnel under him rather man being a staff member," be said. Smith said many of the 120 can-didates who applied for the position were not citymanagers. However, Sixth Ward Councilman Clyde Wilson said Friday he thought the position only was open to " top level" administrators. Assistant city managers and department heads were not under consideration, he said. Although Mayor Les Proctor said Thursday that neither John Cottingham of Coon Rapids, Minn., nor Gordon Jaeger of Battle Creek, Mich., meets the city's criteria for the job, no council member has yet been willing to explain Proctor's statement The proceedings at Thursday's closed- sessio- n debate on the selection process remain a secret. " It's in the past; it's all over," First Ward Councilman Pat Barnes said. So it's back to the starting line. Proctor said the criteria for judging new applicants will be " virtually the same" as those followed so far. Wilson said, however, the council will have to " go back to the drawing board." " We will have to cast our net a little wider so can catch everybody," he said. Wilson said the major criterion is that the manager " should have been in a top decision position." Both finalists qualified, he said. The search committee has not received any direction on how to begin the second round in the city manager search, Smith said. There will not be a nationwide advertising campaign this time. In their first search, the committee had advertised in municipal league magazines, a newsletter sent out by the International City Managers Association and other " appropriate ( See BECK'S, Page 8A) Dog owner faces court By Tim Kubatzky Missosnan staff writer It is said that every dog has his day in court But this time it is the pooch's master who is going to court. John Meeks, 32, of 403 West Blvd., who says he was trying to " set a precedent" has been charged with illegally taking his dog from the Columbia Animal Control Center, 616 Big Bear Blvd. On Aug. 29, Meeks went to the center to look for Big Boy, his dog. He found him. According to Bill Herzberger, president of the Humane Society, Meeks then opened the dog's cage. picked up Big Boy and ran otst the door. Meeks's story is different " I went in there & fi3Tafi79nployee) was spraying"" down my dog with a hose, and I told her he didn't like it " The gal let my dog out She opened the cage. We walked out to the car, and I told the guy ( Herzberger) to send me a bilL He knows who I am." Herzberger said when Herzberger asked Meeks why he didn't pay the costs, he said he was in a hurry. He's requested a jury trial. The case has been moved from Municipal Court to Boone County Circuit Court, since no jury cases will be tried in the lower court after Jan. 1.
