But today, Tulane through fight and determination bounced into national gridiron prominence by handing State the sensational defeat.

It was the fight which stemmed the tide. Mississippi State obviously had the superior running game, and headed toward Tulane's goal in a concentrated drive every time it got the ball. But three times Tulane held State for downs within the 20-yard line, once on the four. The Tulane touchdowns were both thrillers.

The march got under way on the Florida 45. Kuykendall and Gene Norman were the big guns in the drive alternating on slashes at the Florida forward wall.
