Mississippi College threw a scare IN
TO the followers Of the University team
IN the second of the two game series
by holding them scoreless for SIX inn
ing while they were scoring three.
However Ole Miss came from behind
and scored five runs in the seventh
which were enough to sew the game
up.
Mckay started the game for Ole
Miss bot after the Clinton boys had
got TO his delivery for two doubles and
two triples and scored their only three
runs of him, Coach Robins derrieked
him in favor OF Freshman Hicks.
The little left handler settled down
