26 Mississippi State's Maroons, Jed by that mag-nificient quarterback Eilly Stacy, drove to a convincing 25 to 13 victory over a fired-up Alabama Crimson Tide team here this afternoon before a homecoming crowd of 23,000 fans. Alabama's fighting Crimsons, who must have been giving their best for Head Coach "Ears" Whit-worth following the announcement that he was serving his last year here, gave Coach Whit and the homecoming fans a treat in the last two minutes of play with a stirring rally that netted a touchdown on two plays. This thrill-packed two minutes of 'Bama action featured a nifty 61-yard touchdown pass play from quarterback Bobby Jackson to fleet-footed Marlin Dyess, Elba speedster. After Dyess made his sensational gallop the clock read only a minute and two seconds left. Then Alabama came close to scoring again.

Pulling a page from the pro football scrapbook, the Tide tried one of those sneaker plays on the kickoff. It worked and Bama recovered their own kickoff on the State 48. Two plays later they moved to the six but a penalty probably halted their chances of another score as the game ended. This boy Stacy, as fine a quarterback as there is in the Southeastern Conference, was the man in the driver's seat all the way for the Maroons. He was given a tremendous ovation when he left the game.

Stacy called the signals, he ran, he 'passed and he was a demon on the defensive side of the picture. Fullback Molly Halbert and halfback Gil Peterson, two fine running backs, gave Stacy plenty of support in this SEC tiff. Halbert led the State rushers with 67 yards in 13 tries while Peterson was next with 32 for six runs. CHILLED FANS The some 23,000 or more chilled homecoming fans had hardly taken their, seats when Alabama opened the firing with a quick Mississippi State roared back shortly to tie the score. After Benny Dempsey kicked, Peterson brought the ball back to the State 38.

The Maroons failed to move the ball in three plays and Halbert kicked out on Alabama's 33. BRIEF DRIVE The Crimson Tide got a brief drive started when Walls ran 3 and 5 but a 15-yard penalty for holding hurt the movement. Smith got off a poor kick of only 25 yards and Stacy called for a fair catch on the State 43. Trammell was thrown for a five yard loss when Smith sneaked in to make the tackle.

Johnny Mack Brown, famed movie star of Cowboy picture fame, who roamed the gridiron for the great University of Alabama teams in 1923-24 and 1925, was honored here yesterday. Brown became the fourth Alabama gridder to be inducted into Football Hall of Fame.

"The Dothan Antelope," who was famed for his great broken field running and pass catching antics, attended his first homecoming here in several years. Brown followed such ex-Tide performers as Don Hutson, Fred Sington Sr. and Don Whit-mire. Hutson wras named to the Hall of Fame in 1951. Sington was honored in 1955 and Don Whitmire, wrho starred at Alabama and also Navy, was honored last year.

Apparently determined to let the football world know they could move the ball, the Tigers ripped the Cougar defense for 375 yards rushing and passing while rolling up seven touchdowns, a safety and four PAT's. Meanwhile, Auburn's defense, which had been superlative in four previous games this year wes reaching new heights by limiting Houston to a net of 106 yards. This gives the Tigers an average of yield 147.4 yards per game, considerably less than the figure that made them the No.

TT7T maul oustou Coaches Frank Thomas and Wallace Wade have also been elected to the Hall of Fame and were honored at the Capstone in previous Award games. Johnny Mack, the first of four brothers to play with the Crimson Tide, came to the Capstone from Dothan, where he starred as a high schooler.

His first varsity season was in 1923, when he played halfback on Wallace Wade's first Alabama team. Crisp, now Alabama's athletic director, was in his third season as a 'Bama assistant coach. As a Junior on the '24 team, Brown came into his own as a legitimate backfield star. He scored nine touchdowns as his team won eight of nine games. His most spectacular play of the season was a 99 yard kickoff return for a TD against Kentucky.

All of his touchdowns that season were of the long- yardage variety. In 1925, Alabama enjoyed an undefeated season and went out to the Rose Bowl as the first Southern representative to that New Year's Day classic. His greatest hour was in the 1926 Rose Bowl game, in which he became a national hero while Alabama was beating Washington, 20-19. Behind 12-0 at the half, the Tide came 'back strong to score three TDs for the win. He scored two of these three touchdowns, both on long pass plays.

The Dothan flash caught one heave for 63 yards from Grant Gills and the other on a 30-yard aerial from Pooley Hubert to account for 12 points. While one generation remembers Brown as a galloping halfback for the Tide, another knows him as a veteran western film star. Through movies and television, millions of youngsters and grown-ups throughout the world recognize him as the cowboy hero who triumphs over the black vested villians in the last reel. Johnny Mack returned to Alabama for a year as assistant back-field coach but his name was so big that nothing short of Hollywood could contain him. Champ Pickens, who is general manager of Montgomery's Blue and Gray football game, was very instrumental in Johnny Mack heading West for movie-land.

He landed a movie contract and appeared first in a bit part in "Bugle Call." Several supporting roles later, Brown finally got a starring role in "Coquette" opposite Mary Pickford. He played dramatic roles early in his career, but he gradually turned to the he-man western roles that appealed to his athletic nature. He liked to ride and as a law enforcement gunhand he came back to be the notorious outlaw hunter. One of his early western roles was the title part in "Billy the Kid," which had its world premiere at the 'Barna Theatre in Tuscaloosa in 1930. on the State 3o.

Stacy fired to Peterson for 10 and a first down. This was the first down of the game. Trammell rammed through right guard for 10 and another first down. 'Bama buckled down with some nifty defensive play by Rains and Hannah and they held the State on the Alabama 43. Schoenrock kicked out on the 'Bama 18.

SECOND TEAM Wilbanks and Strum beat out a first down for 'Bama. The Tide second team started to roll but after Wilbanks went for two yards, Jackson attempted a pass and Miller intercepted the throw and ran the ball 34 yards down to the Alabama 30. That stout Tide defense held again and the Maroons ran out of gas on the 'Bama 29. Alabama took over and O'Steen threw a neat pass to Beck, but the Tide flankman, in the clear, dropped the ball. Smith got off a poor kick of 15 yards and Peterson called for a fair catch on the Alabama 35.

State moved the ball for some eight yards and on fourth down Cook attempted a field goal from the 32 but it was short. After- an exchange of punts, O'Steen kicked 33 yards and Stacy made a dazzling runback of 12 yards to' the Alabama From this point State drove for a TD. Halbert ran 17, then Halbert nnrl Pptprcnn ran for a first down to Tide 2i. Peterson sped around right end or 2i yards and TD as Benge threw a (Continued on Page 4C) touchdown. It was the Tide's sec ond TD of the season.

On the second play from scrimmage, senior fullback Jim Loftin from Dothan, blasted through State's line and raced 65 yards for a TD. Some nifty blocking by the Alabama team helped along the way. One key block by Gary O'Steen espec ially helped. That Tide six-pointer was what State needed to fire its gang up. Sensing that Alabama intended to play its best game of the season today.

State started firing away. Stacy threw a quick triggered heave to lanky Charley Weather-ly and the junior flankman from Phillip, scooted 57 yards for the TD. State manufactured their second TD midway the second quarter tfhen Stacy's neat 12-yard run-back of O'Steen's punt placed the ball on the Tide 42. The Maroons scored in six plays from that point. Halbert, who lugged the pigskin most of the way, ran to the 21.

Then Peterson raced around right end for the touchdown. MAROONS SCORE The Maroons scored twice in the fourth quarter. They moved 85 yards in 11 plays for the third touchdown with Halbert banging across and tallied the fourth TD following Weatherly's recovery of a fumble of the Alabama 18. A sub back Robert Collins scored the last State TD. Mississippi State's junior tackle Bobby Tribble and junior Sam Lathan gave the Maroons some nifty tackle play.

They were the defensive standouts. Charles Weatherly and P. L. Blake, two fine end performers also gave the Mississippians plenty of help from the defensive side of the picture. Billy Rains, Willie Beck, Benny Dempsey, Bill Hannah and Dave Sington were the defensive standouts for Alabama's improved defensive play.

Rains must have made more than half of the tackles for Alabama because he was in there on every play. Hard running Jim Loftin and Gary O'Steen were the backfield stars for Alabama. Loftin was the game's leading ground gainer. He had 77 yards in eight tries. His 65-yard sprint, of course, was the 39 yards.

He also did some neat O'Steen ran nine times and got 39 yards. Ilea Iso did 'some neat defensive work and punted well after he was called into action. Mississippi State won the toss and elected to kick. Kelly Cook kicked to Baxter Booth who re turned to Alabama's 30. O'Steen whipped through right guard for five yards, then Loftin ripped through right tackle, spun after he was hit.

then kept going and outran the State secondary 65 yards for a touchdown. O'Steen following him all the way threw a clutch block to pave the way for the last 20 yards of Loftin's run. Marshall Brown kicked the point but a holding penalty against Ala- about the outcome after Lloyd Nix connected with Jimmy Phillips on a 71-yard touchdown play the first time the Tigers got the ball. As the game progressed, Jerry Wilson, Bryant Harvard, Bobby Hoppe, Billy Atkins, Lamar Raw-son, Pat Meagher and Hindman Wall got into the scoring column for Auburn various and sundry ways. Houston's lone score, which came late in the second quarter, resulted from an intercepted pass and an 89-yard run by Paul Sweeten, second string right halfback.

He snared one of Nix's aerials and went down the west boundry line without hardly a hand touching him. Fumbles figured prominently In the big score as Auburn's alret defense recovered six of seven Houston bobbles. But Houston simply wasn't any match for the fired up Auburn team.
