(Columbia Daily Tribune, June 17, 1954)
Missouri's conquering Tigers are being escorted home from their victory in the NCAA college baseball world series at Omaha by Missouri state highway patrol.
A patrol car met the Tigers' bus when it entered the state at St. Joseph and other patrolmen will furnish an escort as the team travels to Columbia via Kansas City.
Trooper J.R. Phillips will be the escort during the final leg of the journey from Boonville to Columbia where Police Chief Paul Cheavens will meet the bus at the city limits.
The Tigers left Omaha this morning after defeating Rollins colelge, 4 to 1, for the championship last night and are expected to arrive in Columbia about 5 o'clock this afternoon.
