Hovious Lead Assault Against Commodores For Stormy Victory 'i SECOND QUARTER PASS LONG DRIVE NET POINTS Mississippians Beat Off Bitter Counter Offensive By DAVID BLOOM Ole Miss crushed the memory of 45 black years of Vanderbilt dominance into the earth of Crump Stadium yesterday storming to a 14 to 7 victory and demonstrating to 15000 that in this new era the Red and Blue banners march in the front ranks of the football mighty Nineteen times since 1894 the proud Commodores flung back the warriors from Mississippi but on the twentieth occasion they met a team that flaunted tradition that struck like lightning for two second period touchdowns then beat back a courageous counter-offensive to hold what it had earned Pass Severed Chain A tremendous pass play that covered 81 yards of seared brown turf was the key that loosed the Commodore chains Merle Hapes a sophomore fullback with a catapult" arm rifled the ball through the sunlight of a perfect day 50 yards down the field where another sophomore Junior Hovious was racing like a man possessed to get behind the Vanderbilt secondary Straight and true this ball bored toward the meeting place Ball and Hovious met on the Vanderbilt 45-yard line and with nobody near him the mercury-shod halfback simply sprinted to the score That was a magnificent pass To prove it was no fluke this pair repeated in the third quarter only to have the play called back so the decisive touchdown had to he more prosaic It came from a drive carried on for another 81 yards by Hovious and Hapes that eventually found Hapes hurling his 185 pounds through center 1 for the touchdown Erm Smith kicked one extra point Hovious the other Burden on Vandy The burden was on Vanderbilt to prove it wasn't outclassed and the Commodores were definite in the testimony For early in the third period their touchdown effort for 10 yards short of the distance of Ole two produced seven points put them thoroughly in the middle of the fight and kept them there A scintillating bit of running by Capt Raymond Andrus after he had caught a short pass from Junius Plunkett capped the climax to the 71-yard march and dropkick brought the extra point It was almost incredible the way the Commodores came back Where their play had been sluggish and ineffective in the first half it was alert and productive in the second Almost all of those 30 minutes were spent with Ole Miss on the defen- ajya And then just at the end Bill Schneller whose thumbing of the nose on a touchdown run against Arkansas last year was a hilarious piece of caprice almost had the same chance Caught on Last Stripe On a beautifully executed play this hefty fellow broke through the left side of the Vandy line and moved 66 yards down the field only to be hauled down on the five-yard line by Junius Plunkett And three plays later when BELIEVES ROOSEVELT But Department Heads Admit Cotton Situation Is Still Uncertain BUDGET BUREAU ACT AIRED Its Adverse Recommendation Remains Sore Spot $100000000 IS NEEDED Agriculture Leader Believes Consumption Will Reach 13-000000 Bales Pleads For Authorization By GEORGE MORRIS fr'nm TIm Commercial Appeal WasninstoB Bureau WASHINGTON Nov 4 Officials of the Department of Agriculture today expressed optimism over the prospect of Presidential approval of a cotton loan following yesterday's conference between the President and Secretary Wallace It was admitted however that the matter was still in thhe stage of uncertainty Advent of the Bureau of the Budget into the field of policy making when it made an adverse recommendation after all plans had been arranged by the Department of Agriculture continued to be a sore spot with the Department A Better Authority It was believed however by the Department that Secretary Wallace convinced the President that the Department with its specialists familiar with the entire situation is a better authority on the question than the Budget Bureau It is understood that Secretary Wallace takes the position that while the price for the basis of the loan middling 76 -inch staple is slightly above 52 per cent of parity the better grades are bringing a lower comparative price and the loan is intended not only to help owners of better grades to hold their cotton for a rise in price but owners of lower grades have a prospect of profiting from a loan Concern Expressed It is understood that the President was not only impressed by the statement of the Budget Bureau that the proposed loan is not warranted either on basis of price or production but expressed concern over the prospect that $100000000 would be required to float the loan It was understood also that Secretary Wallace contended that the present price is the result of purchases by the trade in anticipation of a rise next Spring and Secretary Wallace would much prefer that the benefit be derived by producers The Department also believes that consumption this year probably will amount to 13000000 bales which will exceed production and result in large withdrawals from the loan The Department contends that the estimated amount of $100000-000 required or the loan should take into consideration withdrawals from existing loan cotton as an offset and result in a much smaller actual investment BOV 7 FOUND SAFE AFTER DAJN WOODS He Has A Slight Fever And A Big Appetite WINSLOW Ariz

CONFRONTS! FEINT Ship Freed From Nazi Captors Anchors In Bergen Norway May Seek British Port By Tbs Associated Press OSLO Norway Nov 4 The question of how to get home or whether to try for a British port tonight confronted the City of Flint anchored in Bergen Harbor and again under her American command after a 3000-mile trek through Arctic waters in charge of a German prize crew The question also was raised whether the newly enacted United States neutrality legislation would permit an effort to deliver to Britain the cargo of tractors oil grain leather fruit and wax which the Nazis labeled as contraband Nasi Crew Interned The Norwegian Navy early today freed the City of Flint at Haugesund and interned the German crew placed aboard when she was seized by the pocket battleship Deutschland Oct 9 Shortly after the release the vessel steamed to Bergen 75 miles up (he coast It is believed likely that Norway will reject a German protest presented today The German consul at Bergen visited the 18 German crewmen interned aboard the Norwegian destroyer Olav Trygvasson and said he hoped to reach some settlement soon Foreign observers at Berlin aaid they deduced from all appearance that be German protest was based on humanitarian rather than legal grounds German Position Given German officials were loath to comment on the case because tendency is observable in Berlin that dramatization of these events (City of Flint and American embargo repeal) is if possible to be avoided in view of the international atmosphere of The German position was that the commander of the prize crew for humanitarian reasons heeded President Roosevelt's appeal to Britain and Germany to see to the safety of the American crew Therefore when a member of the crew reported himself sick the commander entered the nearest port namely Haugesund to obtain medical aid On the legal side it was acknowledged in semiofficial quarters that international law covering prizes did not specifically mention patients as valid reasons for seeking refuge in neutral ports Americans on Ship The American crew of 41 remained aboard the City of Flint tonight and kept the decks brightly lighted Speculation on what (he ship Finland in a

Surrounds Talks In the Kremlin MOSCOW Nov 4 For the second time in two days the Finnish delegation was closeted with Soviet leaders at the Kremlin tonight hut official silence cloaked the result of the vital negotiations A breakdown in the conference which had been feared in some foreign quarters apparently had been averted since it was learned reliably that the negotiations would be continued Indicative of the importance of the talks was the presence of Joseph Stalin at today's session For eign observers searched vainly for any information which might indi cate whether the Russian Army might march into Finland as it did into Poland or whether Finland would relent and accede to Russian demands for concessions in Finland and Finnish waters An agreement based on Soviet demands would give the Russians wide concessions in the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic and in Finland itself while a smashup of the negotiations might involve Russia and World to prevent millions of dollars worth of
