Tackle Jim Smith, who injured his knee against 13. U., is in good shape now, but he lest his start ing job to Jerry Farkas. With his lineup swelled by the return of such tested vets, En gle devoted considerable tune to passing drills this week. The Ripper is assuming that Missouri's line will be tough to handle and therefore he may look to his air attack more than he did in the opener.
