In spite Of the bad weather, a large
and enthusiastic crowd came out to
see the game, and their spirited yell
ing had much to do with Ole Miss's
victory.
Saturdays game showed conclusive
y that Ole Miss has one of the best
cams she has put out in years, and
there is every reason TO believe that
he season win be highly successful
ne.
The Game.
The game was in Ole Miss's hands
from start 10 finish, and her goal
line was never in danger. The
muddy. sloppy field prevented open
work almost altogether, but there was
plenty Of excitement.
Most Of Ole Miss's gains were
made on straight line bucks, with an
occasional end run; and the way that
hard-hitting line opened up for the
back-field was worth going miles to
see. The backfield men were quick TO
take advantage of their openings, and
the way they tore through Unions
Inc was a caution to cats. Union
made only two or three first downs
during the game, and their only real
gains were made on two short passes
10 right end in the second quarter.
The visitors tried several other passes
but the Ole Miss backield men had
no trouble in breaking them up.
In the first quarter. Ole Miss
scored two touchdowns. 0'Mara
missed one of The tries At goal because
Of the wet, heavy ball, and kicked the
other one. This goal was something
Of q freak. The kick was low, and
most likely would not have cleared
the cross-bar; but Union man, try
ing TO block the kick, touched j; with
his hands and knocked it over.
In the second quarter, Ole Miss re-
peated her hne-plungins tactics with
the same success; but luck was with
Union, for twice the Ole Hiss warriors
carried the ball right up 10 the goal
line, only TO lose il on downs; but
the third time, an Ole Miss back
plunged over with the ball just As the
whistle blew-a fraction Of a second
too late 70 count the score.
However. in the third quarter, Ole
Miss came back strong. and romped
up the field for three touchdcwns-
O'Mara kicked one Of the goals In
this period, Coach Noble saw that the
game was sewed up, and put in several
subs, who played great ball AT
the end Of the third quarter, the line
men had to take n rest. as they were
completely exhausted from trying 10
keep up with the ball
By this time. il was becoming
dark; and. in the fourth quarter.
after Ole Miss had made another
touchdown, the game was called II
darkness had not stopped the game,
no doubt more scores would hsve been
made.
The Ole Miss Team
Ole Miss's warriors were a regular
galaxy Of stars. but few Of the
husky scrappers deserve special men

Morris. at fulIback, played wonder
ful ball throughout the game, and
tore through the Union line N great
style. He simply couldn't be stop
ped. and frequently hurled himself
through for big gains. He also ran
good interference, and cut down Union
would-he tacklers ike a battenng
ram.
Lake, at night half, was equally
good on line bucks and end runs, and
could always be depended on for .
good gain. He smashed through hike
a Jersey bull, and several times go'
loose for thrilling fifteen or twenty
yard runs.
Captain Ray, at left half, was con
siderably hampered by the muddy
field. as his speciality is broken hei'
running; but he ripped through th'
line ike a demon, and made goo'
gains every time he was given tn'
ball.
