Francis Xavier Reagan, Perm's sen lor left halfback, and his understudy, Paul Wexler, ripped the Bulldog line to tatters and skipped hither and yon for five touchdowns between them.

Yale's only consolation was the dubious one, in the worst licking it has. ever taken, or staging the prettiest play of the game. This came midway in the third period. Fred Harrison, star pitcher of the 31 baseball team, flipped a long pass to At Bartholemy, and the Yale end streaked for Perm's goal.

Mississippi's high-geared outfit, paced by the H-boys, Junie Hovious and Merle Hapes, ran, passed and punted Georgia dizzy for three quarters, but Wally Butts' courageous Bulldogs, studded with sophomores, hung on to the end.

Mississippi started rolling in the i i second period, taking Georgia's punt on his own 31, Hovious stepped eighteen yards to the 49.

Then he legged te it around right end for twenty-five more. He faded back to wnip ine ball to Hapes for nine more. Another pass, Hovious to Popp, was the payoff. Hovious kicked the point.

Pep Bennett's placekick was blocked, but Halfback Billy Sam scooped up the ball and lunged over to convert. Hovious sparked the Rebels to their third touchdown Just before the end of the half with two ripping charges for twenty-five yards and a 20-yard pass to end Bill Eubanks for the tally. Bennett's placekick was good. Georgia found its stride in the final quarter. Allen whipped a thirteen-yard pass to big Earl Grate, and the sophomore end legged it thirty-eight yards to Georgia's 2.

Ken Keuper scored over Leo Costa booted the extra point. The tally came on the first exchange punts after the kick-off. Two passes, Allen to Van Davis and Allen to Woodrow Brown, set up the tally and Brown stepped over. Will Burt kicked the point.

While leading the Mississippi band in a downtown parade in Atlanta yesterday she miscued on the baton twirling and a broken nose resulted. It looked like the chestnut-haired miss, who won the American Legion drum majorette contest in Boston, would have to see the Georgia-Mississippi contest from the stands instead of at the head of the band. But Violet wasn't to be stopped by so slight an injury.
