A capacity crowd of 38.000 witnessed" the bruising battle which was marred by numerous fumbles, costly penalties and injuries.

John Rauch, Georgia's ace passer, just failed to become the fourth collegiate passer in history to complete 100 passes in a season as he connected on 10 of 21 heaves for the ball on the 32. Before the period ended, the Wolfpack set off on a march which produced its big threat of the game. They started from their own 20 after a kick over the goal. Leslie Palmer and Gwynn Fletcher alternated in lugging the ball in five plays which carried to the Terrapin 43. There was one "touchdown" scored in the game, but it was called back on it's own 27 when Fletcher looped a long pass to Fred Miller who got behind the Terp secondary and caught the ball on the Maryland 48.

He ran free until tackled over the goal from behind by Tucker, only to have the officials call a holding penalty against the Wolfpack. Rebs Trounce State 3344 Chas. Conerly Chunks Ole Miss to First Undisputed SEC Crown Starkville, Nov. 29 (JP) Charley Conerly reached the climax of his brilliant football season today with a superb performance which gave the University of Mississippi a 33 to 14 victory over Mississippi State and the Rebels' first undisputed Southeastern Conference championship.

He threw an eight yard toss into the end zone in the third period, and Farley Salmon made a shoe string' catch for Ole Miss' fourth. (AP) The University of Maryland's burning bowl fever was quieted a little today as it met its match in North Carolina State, which battled the Terrapins to a scoreless tie before 14,500 in Boyd Stadium. It was a nip and tuck game, particularly in the second half, despite the lack of scoring.

The advantage switched rapidly but in the end it was two evenly matched lines which rose up the chips were down to keep their goals uncrossed. A representative of the Allegator Bowl in Jacksonville, was on hand to look over the Terrapins. They had come through with seven wins and two defeats before today for Coach Jim Tatum in his first year here. No decision on the 1kw1 situation was made immediately. Teh game was the last in 1947 for both elevens.

After Maryland made the only serious feints in the first half, the offensive fireworks let loose after the intermission. Maryland, led by Lu Gambino, pressed to the eight-yard line in the third quarter. The Wolfpack from State got as far as the one yard in the final period. On the next punt, Gambino was back, returning it from his own 48 to the Wolfpack 42. He roamed around left end again, going to the 24, but with Tucker and Jim Larue trying their hand at running it was Gators Trail At Halftime Wildcats Suffer 26th Straight Defeat To Set New Record Gainesville, Nov.
