Making the best of their scoring opportunities, a game but outclassed Choctaw squad from Mississippi College lost 13 to 6 to a State College squad here tonight.

The Maroons appeared much the better team but had lots of difficulty proving it with the Tribesmen playing alert and Inspired ball, while State, despite the presence of 5,000 spectators at the Dad's Day occasion, overlooking several opportunities and being out smarted all night. Both squads resorted frequently to passes with State's receivers JOE CRONIN WILL MANAGE BOSTON Clark Griffith, Owner of Nats, Jingles Plenty of Coin After Sale WASHINGTON. 'Oct. Clark Griffith, master trader of the big leagues, Jingled between $125,000 and $250,000 In his jeans today a result of baseball's biggest swap in years and looked for a pitcher and perhaps an iniieid-er to buy with his surplus cash. The grey-haired president of the Washington American league club sold his young two-year manager Joe Cronin, to the Boston Red Sox for a huge but unannounced sum and arranged the deal so that Cronin, who recently married Griffith's adopted daughter, would be playing manager of Boston under a five-year contract.

The price Griffith cot for Cronin was variously estimated here from $125,000 to $250,000. The Washington Sstar said the price was twice as much as Col. Jake Rup-pert paid for Babe Ruth in $125,000. But to all questions Griffith would say (only that Cronin brought more than any other player in the history of the game. By the sale, however, Griffith knocked a huge hole In his Infield and brought down upon himself the problem of selecting another manager for his nationals.

Although he got Lynford Lary. the Boston in the trade, and may use him, baseball experts here rather expect Griffith to use Lary in another swap that will bring a stronger player to the Senators. Listening to Griffith, the Senators catching department and the otufield already are formidable enough. The "Old Fox" concedes, however, that he is in the market for a top-notch pitcher or two and may need a first baseman If Joe Kuhel, who was out part of last season with a broken ankle, falls to regain his past form. "I have no definite plans now regarding other deals or as to who will be manager next Griffith said today.

'The Cronin deal had come about so suddenly that it has left me without any immediate Asked if Babe Ruth might chosen as field boss of the Senators, Griffith said he hadn't considered Ruth or any other baseball man for the Job. Rumors here were to the effect that Stanley (Bucky) Harris, deposed Boston manager who led the Senators to a world championship in 1924, might be Griffith's choice. Several of the veteran Washington players, as well as Walter Johnson, now manager for Cleveland, were spoken of as possible successors to Croinin.

CANTON, Oct. 26 The well coached Alleymen of Canton turned back a fighting team from Lexington by the top-heavy score of 47-0 todayl The Panthers kicked off but soon got possession of the ball and almost immediately scored with Sellers carrying it over.

Pevey converted for extra point. Lexington again received and Canton blocked a punt to put them in scoring position from where they scored with Pevey smaking the center for the yardage. Pevey again kicked goal. Canton kicked off and Lexington showed a nifty passing attack but could not get beyond the center of the field. Sellers then took charge and with his off-tackle thrusts marched on down the field for another touchdown and scored again.

Coach Alley then started sending in his reserves who finished the game. The line play of the Panthers worked smoother than" it has all season as Sellers ran almost at will. The line plunging of West and Pevey was at its usual high standard. Leatherwood got away for the longest run of the game when he traveled 78 yards on an Intercepted pass. In the second string line Middle-ton, i Faucet, Semmes and "Frog" Miles stood out.

The passing and punting of Sellers, Canton's bid for all-State honors, was on its usual high keel and his running showed flashes of greatness. Cannton will be hard worked next week as they take the road against the Gulf port Commodores at their own port and the Commodores are recognized as having one of the strongest teams in the state. Coaches 'Alley and Sikes will have their hands full in stopping the Commodores running from double wing- back formation. Canton hasn't met this type of play this season and the double wing-back was the only type that beat them last year. The Panthers hope to get all in juries well by Thursday when they leave for the Coast.

For the Minors, Rebold, Hand, Hassel, and Serkins showed up well in the forewall as Richardson and Harala did some nifty running to pile up a 10 to 7 advantage over the Panthers in first downs. McDaniels, Brooks and Crawford were best in the line for the visitors while Blackwell and Brown showed up to advantage in the backfield. Millsaps scored on a series of passes and laterals in the second quarter with Harala going around end 14 yards for the counter. Hin-son converted with a placement.

The second Millsaps score resulted from a long pass from McBroom to Flint that was good for a total of 45 yards. Serkins kick was wide for the point after touchdown. A long pass paved the way for the lone Clarke score with Black-well passing and Crawford receiving. On a series of line plays, Black-well advar 4 to the five yard line and went ai ound end to score. Roper failed to buck the point.

The final score came for Millsaps In the last quarter when a couple of passes to Leonard were completed and a scoring pass to Sheffield was ruled good. The extra point was not made, and the game ended without further scoring.

Clingman took the first fall in thirty-one minutes with a body straddle. In the second fall, he had the wild Bohunk apparently out on his feet with a series of flying butts.

The last attempt he sailed through the ropes. The spectators on the front row dodged hurriedly, and Clingman's head struck the edge of the chair. The second fall went to Kopecky, and the match was his by the default.
