A twenty-four yard pass, Waterfield to End Milt Smith, started the Bruin touchdown drive. Waterfield and Curti pounded on to the 13. Curti bundled it to the four, but Forbes was tossed to the eight. Waterfield tossed as short lateral to Smith and he piled over the Trojan left tackle for the tally.

Quarterback Bob Waterfield led the Bruin march, but Vic Smith, substitute halfback, slithered 8 yards for the touchdown.

The tie, third in the brief history of the series, left the Trojans with a season record of two victories, six defeats and one draw.

Kearney caught Black when he was racing for a touchdown in the fourth quarter so that you can say that Phil is faster than the blond phantom from Starkville, Miss. We first, moved into the Mississippi State quarters and approached Coach Allyn McKeen. "We understand there was some question on the actions of jour linemen," we parried.

There isn't a thing in the rule book against It." At this point, Capt. Bill Arnold of the Maroons stepped up and. obviously perturbed, presented the fourth period.

You can say, too, that if Sheridan had fallen on the ball when he fumbled after breaking through the middle of the Maroon line for 20 yards in the first period, the result might have been different.

And you can keep repeating that the penalty called by Referee Orian Landreth when Johnston raced left end for 13 yards to the Maroon 12 in the second quarter also hurt.

Some folks thought that the Mississippi Staters should have been compelled to quit using their rocker shift, particularly since the Pacific coast has specifically outlawed the device as a violation of the sportsmanship code. The Maroons rocked often and well and they either got the Dons to move offside or left them standing flatfooted and perhaps going backward when those swift driving backs came along with the football.
