of 10 points against Kentucky Miami and Alabama the SEC would have a new record-holder That sort of performance would give Hunsing er 100 points for the season Both Dottley and Hunsinger scored three touchdowns over the week-end Mississippi's Billy Mus-tin dropped from a first-place tie by failing to score against Chattanooga and Eddie Price of Tulane moved into a third-place deadlock with Mustin
