Maz- nicki's try was blocked for Boston's first failue to convert.

Just before the half, Quarterback Bob Peoples passed to Rose Bowl Hero A Krueger and he ram bled 61 yards over the Cougar goal, but SC was offside on the play. In the third, with the locals looking a little stronger, Peoples passed to Robertson for 12, again for 18, and the Trojans dipped deep into Washington State territory.

With the ball on the eight, Peoples fired a pass over the line to Fullback Jack Banta and he crashed on over for a touchdown. Jones again converted. The lead looked good up until seven minutes before the end of the game, but this 175 pound Sewell from Tacoma again went to work. Dropping back to pass, he threw off three Trojans, jumped in the air and fired a pass to Felix Fletcher, a reserve back. Hetcher took it and raced for a touchdown on a play that measured exactly 60 yards.

Johnson tied the score with his conversion. Navy's Gunners Turn On Indians for Win ANNAPOLIS. Sept. 28 (JP William and Mary's ludians, waging a desperate defensive battle, threatened for three quarters today to sabotage the Navy's 1940 grid launching, but were unprepared for the liehtnine-like air attack that the Midshipmen cut loose in the closing period to turn apparent defeat into a 13 to victory. The stellar play of two great backs, Johnny Korczowski and Wnldn Matthews, combined in a thrill-packed second period to give the Indians a slender 7-o Jead tnat they held onto savagely through the third quarter.

But. they hadn counted on the Middies' torpedo boat-sized gunners, led by Howie Clark, a game little 148-pound back from San Pedro, Calif.

Maroons Start Shaky But Finish Strong for 12,000 Fans GAINESVILLE, Sept. 28 (JP) Mississippi State's Maroons overcame a shaky start to overpower the Florida Gators, 25 to 7, in a Southeastern conference football game here tonight.

A crowd of 12,000 saw the tilt, the season opener for both teams Harvey Johnson and John Black, brilliant Mississippi State halfbacks, led their team to a four-touchdown comeback in the last half after the fJators had taken a 7 to 0 lead. Fergie Ferguson, big Florida left end, provided the break that pave the Gators their score by blocking one of Johnson's punts. Tackle Milton Hull chased the ball out of bounds and it was first and 10 for Florida on the Mississippi State 15. Tommy Harrison, slender left halfback for Florida, then passed to Fondren Mitchell, his running mate, who raced across the goal. Tate kicked the extra point from placement.

After their touchdown, which came in the first quarter, the Floridians played the favored Maroons to a standstill until just before the half ended when the visitors rolled down to the two-yard line only to lose the ball on a fourth-down pass over the goal. As the third period opened, the Maroons quickly took charge and began pounding down the field. Starting from the Florida 48, Mississippi State carried to the Florida seven on a series of line stabs. Jefferson circled left end and scored standing up, Dees kicking the extra point from placement to tie the score. Walter Craig, right halfback, scored the second Mississippi State touchdown on the most spectacular play of the game.

He circled left end behind beautiful blocking, out-raced the Florida secondary and sped 58 yards to the goal. Dees' kick from placement was wide. The fourth period was hardly under way before Halfback John Black, a reserve, raced 37 yards on a reverse to the Florida 26. Bruce and Fullback Charles Yancey alternated in moving the ball to the one-yard stripe, from where Yancey fought around left end for the third State touchdown. Bruce's kick was wide on the extra point attempt.

Black scored the final touchdown on a 54-yard jaunt in which he started around left end, cut back to the right and went over the goal with not a Florida man near him. The extra point attempt was blocked. It was the first start for Florida under Coach Tom Lieb, who was appointed last term after spring practice had been concluded. For the first half the Gators looked is if they might win, but when the Maroons' got going, there was no stopping them. Mississippi State made 15 first downs to Florida's three, and rolled up a net 356 yards rushing to only seven for the Gators.

Volunteers Toy With Mercer, 49-0 KNOXVILLE, Sept. 28 LT) Major Bob Neyland's Tennessee Volunteers toyed with the Mercer Bears for two quarters today nd then buried them under a touchdown avalanche, 49-0, to clear the way for their major battle with the Blue Devile of Duke next Saturday. Using only the simplest plays, the Volunteers pushed across two touchdowns in the first half, and then turned on the power to roll up three touchdowns in the third period and two more in the last quar- ter before 10,000 fans. Little Mercer put up a gallant stand, with Halfback Tony Page the brightest star, but the outclassed visitors were able to cross the 50-yard line only twice. Once they drove to Tennessee's 33-yard line with two completed passes, one allowed for interference, but were unable to penetrate the Tennessee defense further.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28 (JP) The University of Southern California Trojans held their annual coming-out grid party today, but the lowly Cougars of Washington State, supposedly the poorest team in the Pacific Coast conference, proved the surprise. The gallant northwesterners stopped the Trojan war horse cold and held it to a 14-14 tie in the biggest reversal of so-called form in the West.

Dreams of a third successive trip to the Rose Bowl received a rude jolt as the Cougars, refusing to act as a casual opener for USC, twice came from behind to deadlock the 1940 Trojan might.

The charges of youthful Coach Red Sanders, who as a boy "crashed" his way into Dudley stadium to see Vanderbilt play, strutk twice throueht the air and once on a long run by a sophomore, Art Rebrovich, to whip the subborn Generals. After nulling and hauling with line nlavs with neither side able to make headway, Vandy late in thai second period took advantage of Preston Brown's Poor kick and started an aerial offensive from the Generals' 48.

The margin was no indication of the way the Deacons outclassed the Carolinians, who showed an offensive spark only twice. In the third quarter Wake Forest marched 99 yards in six plays for its second touchdown. It was a day of glory for J. V. Pruitt, who was held out of Deacon play last year but who directed and led the play for 60 minutes with a sparkling aerial attack and elusive running.
