The stage is set for the 60th Saturday in Starkville, and there's a great deal at stake aside from standard rivalry overtones. But don't count possible post-game premiums ahead of "family" prestige. In this 62-year-old series the game is the big trophy. This unending feud, and it is that rather than a rivalry, dates back 59 games to 1901 when the two schools opened hostilities in Starkville. T' was almost on an informal note that the series had its beginning.

Ole Miss was playing Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Oct. 26 and had arranged the game with Mississippi in Starkville on the 28th to help defray travel expenses. Cash benefits were never made a part of the record but the score stands for posterity: 17, Ole Miss 0. became Mississippi State College in 1932 and Mississippi State University a few years ago, but the rivalry hasn't changed. It carries the same razor-keen edge.

As often as not in recent seasons, Southeastern Conference championship claims have been settled here or in Starkville, and that's a paramount issue Saturday. Unbeaten into the game for the fourth time in its 71 years of football, Ole Miss can nail down its sixth SEC title by defeating or deadlocking the Maroons. Moreover, the Rebels can post one of their best regular season records in history. They are 7-0-1 for the season, are 5-0-0 in Conference results. The Bulldogs haven't been that successful, but their overall report of 6-2-1 is exception- MIRA GLOWS IN MO ASKITtALL MBA SATURDAY San Francises at Let Anse'es, ostponed.

Host Belhaven scored a dramatic 71-69 come-from-behind victory in the consolation contest to take third place. All five Millsaps starters scored in the double figures in the Majors' victory over Lambuth. Guard Phil Converse was high point man for Millsaps with 16 points as Charles Smith, Fred Rendfrey, Crawley Stubblefield, and Jack Ainsworth each contributed ten. Millsaps scored eight straight points at the beginning of the game and held the Eagles without a field goal for eight minutes. The a s' biggest margin was 12-1 early in the first half.

Lambuth was able to narrow the Millsaps lead to 19-17, but a rally enabled the Majors to have the court at halftime with a comfortable 31-21 cushion. After Millsaps built and maintained a 15-point lead early in the second half, the question was not whether the Majors would win, but it was by how much. monopoly in 1926 and went un beaten for a decade, then claimed only three of the next 10 games. Since 1947 the Rebels have held the upper hand, capturing 14 decisions against two stalemates. 31-24 LEAD Count this as you will, and it has been a story of unusual dynasties, the overall picture is as even as any among oldtime rivals.

Adding last December's 13-6 Ole Miss triumph, the Rebels lead with 31 victories to 24 for the Maroons, plus the four deadlocks scattered along the way.

Alabama finished in front in '53 with a 4-0-3 record (OM at 4-1-1) and Auburn four years later with 7-0-0 (OM at 5-0-1). Alabama at 6-1 and Auburn at 5-1 are the only title contenders chasing the Rebs into Saturday's decisive games, with the Tide and Tigers colliding at Birmingham.
