    Missouri Overcomes Lead to Down Colorado COLUMBIA, Mo, Nov. 13.-Missouri, University’s Tigers, trailing at the halfway mark, came to life in the last half OF their Big Seven Conference football game with Col orado’s Buffaloes here today for a 27 to Is victory. Badly outplayed in the first half, Don Faurot’s Missourians power housed and passed their way with undeniable persistency in the last two quarters. They scored two of their touchdowns by air and the other two by ground.
