Fumbles and blocked kicks early in the pame spelled doom for the Centenary college Gentlemen here tonight as the Shreve-porters bowed to the classy Memphis State Tigers, 26-7, before a crowd of approximately 6,000.

(International) Favorites Miss Passes, Backs Fall Down, But They Win By KRIS KRKEGKK Baton Rouge, Oct. 11 (JP)A versatile but bumbling Louisiana State football team pulled itself together in the final period for a 70-yard touchdown drive to win from Texas A. and 19 to 13, before 35.000 spectators.

The LSU Tigers, heavy favorite to win handily, showed superiority In most departments, but receivers missed good passes, backs fell on their faces with no tacklers present.

It was right In keeping with, the tone of the game that a penalty against LSU helped the Tigers to their winning touchdown. Instead of taking a play which would have given the Tigers fourth down and five to go, with a punt apparently mandatory, the Aggies chose a penalty to make It third and 15 for LSU. On the next play quarterback 7.

A. Tittle threw a pass to Al Heroman for 38 yards, and LSU was on the way to win. LSU scored on drives of 52 and 70 yards and a 73-yard pass play from Tittle to Dan Sandifer. The Aggies marched the opening kickoff back for a touchdown and later scored from the LSU eleven after recovering the punt which the Tiger safety had touched. Starting lineups: Texas Pos.

But before King Pigskin takes over completely, the postmortems of the series will have to be written in the records. To many the 1947 series was a drab exhibition of baseball oh account of the many pitchers who paraded to the mound to issue a total of 68 bases on balls. However, New York sports writers saw the series as one of the best in recent years. The fact that pitchers were jerked after giving the slightest indication that they were getting into trouble should be proof enough that Bucky Harris and Burt Shotton were going all out to win the championship.

Certainly Cookie Lavagetto's hit that ruined Bill Bevens' no-hitter and gave Brooklyn a victory provided a story-book climax to a cracker jack ball game; and Bobby Brown's phenomenal 1.000 batting average as a series pinch-hitter boosted the Tulane medical student up to a high rung on baseball's ladder of immortality. For the Doubting Thomases as to what kind of series it was, you can quote Bucky Harris himself: "If that wasn't the greatest series, it will do until a better one comes along." And Allison Danzig, in the New York Times, referred to it as "the most exciting World Series in many years." Junior Gridders i Those who think of football only in terms of college and high school games should take time out to attend some of the spirited contests of Shreveport'a junior gridiron loop, where 85-pounders, 105-pounders and 125-pounders battle it out each week. of more than 500 people have attended some of the games and the sideline cheering is no less spirited than the rock em, sock 'em on the playing field. I The City Recreation Department is to be commended for, its splendid program for the youngsters but one thing has been neglected by the city group that was called to our attention recently. The department is marking off the gridirons where the youngsters play with dry lime, which could be a source of very painful burns to the young gridders.

Al- though we have been told that no one has suffered any "serious lime burns for the past two years, the danger is ever present, and now is the time to take precautions. rt- With the war over and most equipment that was in short supply back on the market, we suggest that the City Recreation Department take steps to obtain a wet-lime marker for marking its gridirons, so no youngster will experience any burns because dry lime was used.

Navj. pulled a tingling movie-thriller finish today and scored In the final 10 seconds when fullback Bill Hawkins rammed over the Duke goal line from the one-yard line to gain a 14-14 tie and end the Middle 10-game losing streak. The 35,000 customers had just about settled back for another Navy defeat when Duke broke a 7-7 deadlock with three and a half minutes remaining in the fourth period on a Fred Polger pass to end Ed Austin, good for 45 yards and a touchdown. They hadn't reckoned on a fighting Navy team that came from behind twice to knot the score against the favored Blue Devils from Durham.

Ben Moors, 155 pound Navy seat-back from Oranda, carried the kickoff after Duke's score 42 yards to Navy's 47, almost breaking into the clear. Bob Home, second string quarterback who engineered Navy'a first score, flipped nine yaiil to Hill Etui, Hawkins shot to the Duke 3ft in two plunges. Home passed agRln to Earl on the' 20. After a pass misfired, Home rifled another to Bob Schwoef-ferman on the one. End Bob McElroy dropped Home pass in the end zone on first down as the Navy crowd groaned, but the Annapolis backers got their chanea to yell when Hawkins drove over the middle on the next play, Jim Wills, who never had played In a college game before this afternoon, calmly stepped in from the Navy bench and placeklcked the extra point to tie the score.

Navy's line with center Dfck Scott in on almost every play, smashed down three Blue Devil assaults In the first half, on the Middies' 28 and then on the one yard line in the opening period, and again on the eight in the second quarter.

Van-derbilt's undefeated Commodpres helped themselves to a first period field goal and a third period touchdown, then quelled a spectacular, eleventh hour Mississippi rally to defeat the Rebel 0 to 6 today in a Southeastern conference football thriller witnessed by a capacity crowd of 22,500. It was the season's third victory for the Commodores and the first defeat for the Misslssippians. whose fourth period offensive upsurge scared, the daylights out of the partisan Vanderbtlt hometown audience. Chunkln' Charlie Conerly. the Rebels', famed passed, was pretty well bottled up throughout the contest by the Vanderbtlt line and secondary.

Although Conerly was heaving passes much of the afternoon it was via the ground route that Ole Miss scored its touchdown. Mississippi's heralded offense chalked up 14 first downs to Van-derbilt's seven, but the Commodore defense tightened when the chips were down except for a lapse ln the final period when the Rebs scored. The Commodores' first scoring chance came when Eddie Ellington intercepted a Conerly pass on the oie Miss 25 and lugged it back to the 20. Jamie -Wade plunged through the line to the Mississippi 12. but Vandy made only two yards as Ole Miss dug in.

Then Zack Clinard. whose field goal won the Northwestern game for Vanderbilt, booted it through the uprights for a 3-0 lead which the Commodores held at the half. The Vanderbilt touchdown came about midway of the third period after a 68-yard drive. Irvin and Bobby Berry collaborated ln this march, with Bobby carrying the ball over. Clinard, who hasn't missed an extra point kick or field goal all season, booted the extra point.

Coming, back strong near the game end, Mississippi, unable to threaten by air, resorted to ground maneuvers.
