The First Was Very Big The first Southeastern Conference doubleheader ever staged in Memphis on Sept 25 1954 Tennessee beat Mississippi State 19-7 in the afternoon and Ole Miss won from Kentucky 28-9 at night The games were at old Crump Stadium and the daylight affair drew 28523 the night game 28545 That represented capacity for the good old joint Buddy Wells believes that a similar doubleheader would pack Memphis Memorial The chance for one however is remote if not non-existant In those less complicated days Ole Miss and Mississippi State alternated playing Tennessee in Memphis And the Rebels played several of their home games here Now they are largely committed to their campus or Jackson although the Houston game was transferred to Memphis for drawing purposes Curiously Houston and Ole Miss took part in another doubleheader in Memphis in 1961 and Memphis State was a party to it too The Rebs whanged Houston 47-7 and Memphis State knocked off Southern Mississippi 21-7 The afternoon game drew 17000 the night game about 22000 on recollection set the spark Tennessee was down 11-0 at the time and only 1:44 remained in the half when Dewey Warren threw to Flowers for a

Preps Suffer Some College football and pro football are reaching toward new heights in attendance almost everywhere Memphis once had tremendous crowds for Prep League games often filling Crump Stadiom Once That was years and years ago Now the crowds are rather distressingly small although the caliber of football is perhaps equal to that of a decade or so ago It was heartening to note that 4500

Kingsbury at Halle Stadium Father Bertrand and Douglas drew wily 1270 at Melrose There are many many more teams nowadays amf1 consequently conflicts in schedules The kids have to play two or three nights a week usually and few people will go' to three games a week But they play well and they deserve more support Rating The Schedules In the past Ole Miss has taken a rather severe going-over for
