That was about the oniy bright point about the Southwestern offense. da State, Washington State and Oklahoma State whose scalps decorate the Houston trophy room.

FIRST QUARTER Houston wasted absolutely no time in unleashing its mighty offense. State couldn't move after receiving to open the game, punted to the Cougar 31, then watdhed helplessly as the Texans moved 69 yards in 12 plays for their first touchdown. Mixing Burris passes with runs by Post and Gipson, Houston drove to the State one where Gipson took a pitch-out from Burris the final yard around right end. Before the quarter was over, the Coogs struck for another six points and even more quickly. Gus Holloman picked off a Saget pass and ran it back 18 yards and a personal foul penalty against the Maroons cost another nine yards to the M.S.

LOT OF NOTHING To be perfectly truthful, for the first three periods both of-fr-nses had shown the most nothing since West Texas and the next time such futility will be approached is when some one attempts to swim the Pa cific with a gin fan. Giving a true indication of that is; for the first 30 min- ules, both teams made only one first down apiece with Southern getting one early and Ole Miss finally moving the chains with 2:07 left in the half.

The Rebs did pick up a bit in the second half, getting seven for a total of eight for the afternoon while the Southerners also got just one after intermission a total of two. Ole Miss' offense moved for 211 yards, 150 of these via ground yardage and 94 in the air with the Quarterbacks completing seven of 17: while the Southerners had 98 yards 53 afoot and 45 via passing, completing five of 10. No passes were intercepted. Southern also punted 17 times with Dickie Dunaway averaging 40.9 on the boots hut missed the record by one. Union University punted 18 times against the Rebs in pre-World War II days.

Those Millsaps Majors have won another football game. This time the victim was Southwestern College of Memphis and the score was an impressive 26-0 blanking before an overflow homecoming crowd here at Alumni Field Saturday. Danny Neely sparked the red hot Majors to "their third straight win of the season since an opening game loss to Livingston State (Ala.) College early in the year. Neely scored the first TD himself, threw a 19-yard scoring aerial to end Ted Weller in the third quarter, and tossed another six pointer to Edwin Massey in the final period. After Troy Lee Jenkins returned the game's opening kickoff 25-yards to the Major 31, Neely commenced to display a devis-tating passing attack.

Neely drilled Jenkins with a seven yard aerial to lead thing off and then found Massey open and hit him with 14 and 18-yard throws down to the Southwestern 30. From there, Neely ran for nine yards, fullback Timmy Millis banged off guard for two, and Neely hurled another 14-yardcr to the Lynx five yard stripe. Neely then rolled left, found Ole Miss 14, Univ.

SECOND QUARTER Nothing came of that threat, but after an exchange of punts, the Cougars rolled once again from their 19.

Gibson running and Burris passing provided most of the yardage as Houston covered the 81 yards in just 10 plays. The payoff came with Burris arching a pass to McVea deep in the' right side of the end zone from 11 yards out. Hebert, after kicking three straight extra points, showed his kicking versatility with an 80 yard punt into the Maroon end zone. State couldn't move and Dickie McGraw, trying to kick out, got only a 29 yarder. Burris ran successively for 18 and 10 yards, but from their 18, the Marrons held firm and a 34 yard field goal attempt by Herbert failed.

Slate, down 21 0 at the half, was really doused in the first half statistics. The Cougars led in first downs, 15-2, rusing yardage, 127-15, and passing yardage, 101-15. Houston completed 17 of. 19 passes without an interception, State one of five with one in-doing all the throwing. Hebert had a 59 yard average on three punts, McGraw 38.8 on six.

State lost one fumble and its only advantage was having two penalties for 14 yards while Houston had three for 25. THIRD QUARTER The Cougars picked up to start the second half where thev were halted driving by time running out the first. Continued On Page 3B dropped Samford to 4-1 on the season. The win was also the second in a row for the Statesmen over Samford and evened its scries with the Bulldogs at 4-4 while being something of a revenge matter for the Coach Horace McCool's Chargers since Samford spoiled homecoming here I 19P3, dropping the Dcltans 17-u.

But the 5-8, 180-pound sophomore from Liberty quickly jumped into the lead with his tremendous performance Saturday. After picking up only 33 yards in 11 carries during the first half, Randall emerged in the second half with 173 yards in only seven carries.

The Coogs pounded the Maroons into a 28-0 pulp with an offense which featured a bit of everything and completed the massacre by flattening all State threads until the outcome was safely settled. 1 THREE TALLIES Houston scored three times in the first half, marching to a touchdown the first time It gained ball possession, and thereby satisfied the full-house turnout of 47,870 watchers that their unbeaten after four games status is well come by. With 235 rushing yards and 167 passing yards, Houston bet ter than doubled State's net oU fense 402 to 194 and 164 of those Maroon yards came the second half when there was little doubt about who the winner would be. A one-yard run by tailback Paul Gipson and a nine-yard run by fullback Dick Post provided first-quarter touchdowns, the first of the year by land for Houston, then Bo Burris arched a 12-yard scoring pass to Warren McVea in the second period.

For good measure, the No. 2 fullback, George Nordgren, rumbled five-yards around the right side in the third Deriod for the Cougars' final T.D. Ken Hebert converted all four times. State, which netted only 41 yards rushing, managed to complete 8 passes out of 23 (with 3 intercepted) for 153 yards, nearly one-third of those coming on the game's final play which ended with the Maroons on the Houston 3 with time runnnis out. 8 McVEA CHECKED McVea, the Cats' super-star, was kept under close check with the exception of his touchdown pass catch and wound up having an ankle injured four minutes before the half which kept him out the rest of the game.

McVea, going out for a pass thrown too far by Burris, was bounced by state linebacker D. D. Lewis when the injury occurred. The big gainers for Houston were Post with 83 yards on 19 carries and Nordgren with 80 on 9 totes, while Gipson 50 on 9. Andv Rhoadcs, the co-leader In Southeastern "Conference rushing going into the game, was minus five on six carries before he, like McVea, was injured after a pass.

Bob Haller was Slate's best ground gainer with 27 yards on seven carries.
