State was in stopping the Orange Ogres from Knoxville, then the worries concerning the cold war would vanish. True, Saturday's classic between the Maroons and the University of Tennessee wound up in a 0-0 tie but in this day of the megaton bombs, a "scoreless tie" would be a great relief. Saturday's game, witnessed by an estimated fans in clear, shirtsleeve weather, was the day half of a split twin-bill with Ole Miss meeting Memphis State University in the arc-light affair. For Miss.

CHOCTAW SCORING cepted for 96 yards and a total net yardage of 273 yards. Tennessee, last week's conquer-er of mighty Auburn who were held to the first tie in this series, had the ball for 33 plays rushing and made a net of 136 yards. The Vols completed only one of 11 passes losing three via interceptionsand gained just 12 in the air for a net of the day of 148.

Up until the fourth quarter it was all Miss.

College and its fine defense with the Choctaws leading 18-7 but when the "Slinging Kangaroo" wound up it took only fourteen minutes to eke out the Texans' third win of the young season and receive revenge for last year's only loss. As for outstanding individual performances, Miller was the top man but the Choctaws also had their bright moments. Tommy Alexander and fullback G. T. Thames were the leading ground gainers while the passing of quarterbacks' Alton Greenlea and Charles Garrett also stood out.

Miller picked up a personal score for Austin on a one-yard plunge in the first quarter, capping a 76-yard drive. The drive included a razzle-dazzle reverse pass involving four players and COT EXTRA TOUGH State got extra tough there, anxious to regain possession of the ball, and finally got a chance after a punt with Furlow returning Canalc's kick 17 yards to the Vol 46. Furlow passed to Vandy Hutto for a first down on the 29; three running plays got a first down on the 17; and 1:56 was left to play. Furlow got just one before making the bad pitchout and Phillips recovered and most all hope was dead. Tennessee who zipped back from the 22 to a touchdown in a single swift spurt up the sidelines.

Jack Carter's kick made it 7-0 Memphis. But the Rebs retaliated with a crushing drive that covered 64 yards in nine thrusts with the big one a 29-yard Gibbs-to-Crespino pass. Jake rolled left on a six-yard sweep into the end zone with Jerry Daniels' peel block Delta, 19-8 CLEVELAND Delta State suffered its' first defeat of the season at the hand of a very strong Arling State, Texas team, 19-8 here Saturday night. The Rebels of Texas contained the Statesmen with the exception of one time in their own territory and allowed only one penetration beyond the 20-yard line. Delta State's only tally of the night came middleways in the third quarter when Thomas Young blocked a Rebel punt and John McElroy caught the ball in the air and ran seven yards tor the lone Delta tally.

Don Ward threw to Billy Thomas for the two point conversion. The Texas' touchdowns came on two intercepted passes and field goal attempt which was blocked by Delta State and was run over by Arlington State. Mississippi College went ahead .,1,1 uiu btiG i i-aj Liicik a 14-13. At the half, Ole Miss was a leader, 19-14, but the irrepressible Tigers banged over a third touchdown in the first three minutes of the second half for a final at 20-19, quite enough to fret the Rebel supporters until the Red and Blue finally un-leased the power with two td's in the last quarter. A 17-8 lead in first downs indicates how well Ole Miss controlled the ball.

The edge was even bigger in rushing yardage, 210-75, and in passing, too, with the Rebs completing nine of 20 for 170 yards to the Tigs' eight of 18 for 122 yards. But Memphis intercepted four of those 11 Reb pitches that failed and so put the Tigs in the business of destroying optimists willing to give 32 points.
