IhrouHhout the state thiH Htft
the chief topic of conversation VIII
be the coming football game between
the teams from the University %
Mississippi and Mississippi A. and N
~ Tupelo. when these old rivals
meet on the Rridiron Tor the first
time since 1911.
One Of the biggest student crowds
that has ever attended this game is
assured. According TO W. u. Chad.
wick, director Of the Physical Edu-
cation Department at the A. and NJ,
who spent Monday in the city, prac-
tically the entire student body from
that institution have secured per-
mits from their homes, and with their
cadet band of over thirty pieces,
will make the trip on special train.
The entire corps will be in uniform
and the regiment of one thousand
marching in ranks, will be one of
the spectacles of the day
Permission has been given the l.
|. and c. students to attend the game
and they will make the trip also on
a special train, which will leave here
Saturday morning, returning late
in the evening. The student body
from the University of Mississippi
will also be on hand to support their
team, and they will have on their
special train from Oxford a large
number of students from Blue Noun
tain, Grenada and the girls college
at Holly Springs. With over 1000
college students attending this game,
i, is sxpected that ore Of the biggest
oetS thnt.,as a-seA a,scAded ~ 4.
and MrUniversity game will gather at
Tupelo Saturday.
The game will be played at the
fair grounds where a good sod COW
cred field has been laid off immed-
lately in front of the big grand stand
and special rates have been offered
by all railroads entering Tupelo, and
the game has been advertised
throughout North Mississippi. Large
numbers of people will take advan
tage of the good roads throughout
this section to make the trip in theil
| cars.
1t is a well-known fact that it is
almost impossible to dope out an A
and M.-University game. Year after
year critics have decided one clever
to have the edge on the other, only
to have their predictions utterly up
set. No better example of this coulC
be cited than in 1911, the last time
these two teams met. Before tn,
game it was freely predicted tha
"Ole Miss" would win by larg,
score. The game resulted in CT
victory for A. and M. The same thins
has been true in other years when at
tempts have been made to compar
the relative strength of the teams
While the early season record of tn
Aggies has been a little better thai
that of cole Miss" those who hav
followed these games for a numbe
of years are giving that fact but lit
tie weight. Louisiana State Univel
sity defeated cole Miss" $50, Will
the same team beat A. and M. 10-(
Both teams have lost by large score
important games. Auburn beat
, and NJ. 26-0, while Vanderbilt ran u
a still larger score against the I'm
versity.
A perusal of the results of pr,
vious games between A. and NJ. an
v the University shows that each tea
n has won five games, with one gan
2 tie. The following is the results
e the games that have been played b
Q tween the teams.
