The Colonels scored on the fourth play of the game and then played a defensive game the remainder of the day, punting almost every time they got the The 3000 fans had hardly settled in their seats before Reid Caudill, Colonel back, raced 66 yards to score. Jack Haddock took Mississippi's opening kickoff and returned it to the 24, a roughinng-the-kicker penalty put the ball on he 34 and then Caudill raced -untouched to score. Haddock kicked the extra point.

Mississippi kicked off to start the third period and Stanley Czeka-la, Colonel halfback, quick kicked to the 6 on the first play. Wendell Webb funbled and Horace Morrow, Centre, end, recovered on the 3. Haddock went over three plays later from the and then kicked the extra point. Mississippi got their scoring chance midway in the final stanza when Weedy Spence kicked out on Centre's 12. Czekala's punt was low and partially blocked by Davie Dotson, Choctaw tackle on the 14.

Spence cracked the line for seven and then on a spinner galloped around right end to score. Dotson kicked the point. The Choctaws play was marred by fumbles throughout. They recovered many of them but the mis-cues hampered their running at. tack considerably.

Best back on the field was Spence who handled most of the kicking and running chores for the Chocs. Webb, other than his costly fumble, played a beautiful game. Best In the Mississippi line were Dotson, at tackle and. Fulton at end. The game," slow and unexciting, failed to develop into the expected passing duel between Haddock and Burkett.

Mississippi passed often, but Centre's passes, their chief offensive threat, were not forthcoming today as the Colonels pre? erred to protect their early lead at the cost of robbing visiting scouts of anything fancy. lineups: Centre Pos.

RT Goodloe Keeley RE Fagan Buck QB Burkett Czekala- LH Jones Caudill RH McLeod Haddock FB Lindsey Physical ehape was the telling factor as the Millsaps Majors shut out the Louisiana College Wildcats 19 to 0 here last night. The contest started slow with evenly matched teams sparring for an advantage and came to a cli max in the second half when Tommy Jones of Millsaps put on a running and passing exhibition that eclipsed all other offensive efforts of the night.

Late in the second period Stein- reide made the first Millsaps score from the one yard line on a no-shift play. The scoring plunge had been set up by a series of plays that saw Matulich take a Wildcat kick from midfield to the 28 and then find a hole in the middle to go for a first down. Steinreide then made a first down on the seven over the weakside and Matulich put in on the spot for Hammering Hank to score. Tommy Jones set up the next Millsaps score in the third period by a dash to the 20 alter stem- reide had intercepted a Wildcat heave and run it to the 36. Jones faded way back, was almost trap ped by a covey of Louisianans, but threw straight to Baker in the end zone.

After Jones bad brought the ball to the 22 on a spectacular dash from the 48, Matulich came in to alternate running with Steinreide. The Purple fullback took the ball wide around his own weakside end on a spinner to score from the six. Trie Purples cooped the Wildcats' Bruce Waldo, but Kurt Lewis proved to be even more dangerous. A passer, kicker and runner, he led the Baptist offense against the Stonemen. While Corley starred in the Louisiana line, Captain West, Bob Shell, Bruce Womack and Ira Hudson chared the spotlight in the Purple LA.

The Panzer units were to plunge ahead and hoped to engulf Kharkov also in their stride. But assembling so vast a force as the Germans required took time and needed some secrecy. In hostile territory where grape-vine Russian communications must be the order of the day, the possibilities of surprise were strictly limited. The Russians knew what was coming.

It is also reasonably clear that powerful reinforcements were sent from the Moscow defense hub to bolster the probable gap through which the Germans would drive on toward Kharkov. Skilled Staff The fact that for a week after the fall of Kiev the Nazis cited no specific advances beyond the Poltava to the south or Glukova to the north (The gateposts of that 100 mile gap), nor claimed seizure of new towns in the center bears witness to Russian army staff skill in a terrific emergency.

L. S. U. Outsmarted By Holy Cross At Passes Feature Tilt BATON ROUGE, Sept. 27 LPJ Hard running by Fullback Johnny Grigas sparked Holy Cross to a 19-13 victory over Louisiana State tonight before 25,000 spectators, in a game featured by a multitude of passes and by a bit of fisticuffs just before 'the final whistle.

Coach Joe Sheeketski's crusaders from the east uncovered a brilliant Ail-American prospect in Johnny Grigas, 205-pound fullback with "blitz" in his legs whose power and speed brought all three Holy Cross touchdowns. Every one of the 25,000 fans must have left with at least one grey hair, since the ball game kept the stands in an uproar throughout. Costly fumbles, dazzling runs and passes by the score uncorked by both teams provided a thrill a minute. Louisiana State pushed over the game's first touchdown on a long 74-yard march sparked by Fullback Walter Gorinski ana HaiioacK amy McKinney with Gorinski plunging over for two yards on the payoff play. But after spotting the Bayou Tigers that touchdown and a conversion, Holy Cross went to work with Grigas on the loose.

The giant fullback tore off huge gains starting a 68-yard scoring march climaxed when Halfback Frank Saba flipped a neat pass to Dick Gibson to L. S. one-yard line. There was pie for Grigas plunging over. By then everyone knew Grigas could hit the line, and plenty, but a few plays later, he surprised with a quick 56-yard touchdown dash out-speeding L.

Lafayette, a fine defensive array not quite in the 'top-flight class a year ago, was soundly trounced by Virginia's cavauers, 25-0, as elu sive Bill Dudley scored two touch downs, one on an 89-yard gallop.

Bama Tide Runs True To Form; Wins 47 To 6 TUSCALOOSA, Sept. 27. VP Alabama's Crimson Tide lived up to advance notices today with a smashing 47 to 6 victory over an out-manned eleven from Southwestern Louisiana Institute, and gave cfmitc fnr rival southeastern con ference teams an eye-filling picture of a host oi last ana rang? linemen. The winners counted two touchdowns early in the first period to end whatever doubt there was as to the contest's final outcome and, except for a brief lapse in the second third and fourth stringers in the lineup. Especially, impressive to the crowd of 6,000 was the work of the Tide backs, who ran in mid-season form.

Southwestern touchdown climaxed an 85 yard march featuring the passing and running of little Bobby Voitier, a 170-pounder from Opelousas, after banging out a couple of gains on slashes at the line. Voitier hurled a long pass to Self ro for a 52 yard gain to the 'Bama 12, and pitched another to Bandura for nine. Bernhard bucked it over. Poor punts set up both Alabama early touchdowns, made by Spencer and Nelson, but the Tide line was rushing the kicker all afternoon, and managed to account for one score, in the fourth period, by blocking a punt and catching it before it hit the ground. Chorba, a substitute guard, ambled 20 yards across the goal line for the score.

vances of 40 and 61 yards, scored both Buck touchdowns on piunges from the one in the first and fourth periods. He punted the Scarlet out of dangerous situations four times. Finally, on the next-to-last play of the game, he intercepted on the 12-yard line a forward pass that would have meant a Tiger victory. Maurice(Red) Wade, speedy sophomore quarterback, tallied the Missouri touchdown on a 28-yard run, breaking through the center of the line after a short Tiger march from midfield. Bob Steuber, who starred at halfback for Missouri, kicked the point.

The loss was particularly bitter one for Don Faurot, Missouri coach, who saw his 1939 team defeated in an invasion of Ohio stadium and who more recently saw Brown receive the state coaching assignment that he coveted. Ohio State had a 15 to 7 edge in first downs, but the Tigers out-cained the Bucks from scrimmage. 204 yards to 199. Most of that supremacy came in the second half. Missouri had five forward passes intercepted, the Bucks three.
