Hard Fought Game Tn Clar'Ssdalc.
Fi"ht Gamely But Team T"o
Heavy for University Boys.

Before crowd of approximately
three thousand people thu Ole Miss
football machine lost to the A. & M.
warriors at Clarksdale, Saturday af-
tcrnoon, score SO to O. TIE weather
was ideal for football affray---;l lazy
November afternoon, with just enough
chill in the air to give the pa. ers
pep. The ground was in good condi-
tion-a grassy field which was slight
ly dampened by dizzling rain IN thc
! forenoon. Hundreds of automobiles
enclosed the field and after some eX-
citing play, the noise from their horns
was deafening. Clarksdale, queen
city of the delta, had made great ar
engagements for the annual tilt be-
tween these two ancient rivals and
everything was complete.
A. & Nj. won the toss and exactly
at 2:30 the whistle sounded-the start
Ct game that was to be hard fought
all the way through. Red hay, tower
lag tackle of Ole Miss, kicked OIL and
/ Meisinger received and advanced the
ball to the forty yard line. Welslnger
t.len bucked for eight yards. Cassell
FL, W.
and M was penalizcd Tor off side and
after the penalty had been dealt, Lit
tie took the pigskin to the two yard
line and Cassell buckcd for a touch
down. Russell kicked opt to Weisinger
avho fumbled the ball. The first
| touch down was scored III exactly
seven minutes of play. Carpenter kick
ed off for A e M. and Capt. Cowart
received and returned the ball 70
yards. A. and M. was again penalized
for being off side. After numerous
bucks, Jiggetts broke loose for five
yards around end but Ole Miss was
forced to kick, Cassell receiving and
returning to forty yard line. He was
called back, Fixes being off side and
Ole Miss held, forcing the Maroon
and White to kick. Bowers booted
the ball for forty five yards, but the
wind drove it out Of bounds. Ray
then kicked, Russell received and after
a serie sof off-tackle bucks, Perry
raced around right end for touch
down; Russell kicked goal. Score Is
to 0. Carpenter kicked off for A.
and M. and McDaniels received. Ole
Miss was held and Ray kicked, Henley
blocked ball and recovered for touch
down, Russell kicking goal. This
ended the scoring in the first half. In
the second half Ole Miss came back
with grim determination-the flight
to the end" spirit and in the third
quarter held the Starkville lads to one
touchdown The A. and M. aggrega
ton was repeatedly penalized for be-
ing off side, holding, etc. In the
fourth period, Ole Miss fought still
harder but the beef and Drawn was too
much for the lighter team from Ok
ford. The Red and Blue aggregation,
although outweighed thirty pounds to
the man, fought fiercely throughout
and every man deserves much credit.
Barbour, the speedy little half back,
and Jiggetts, his still faster running
mate, gained mostly for Ole Miss.
Capt. Ed Cowart broke up play after
play and especially was his good work
in spilling interference until he was
forced out of the game from an in
jury. For A. and M. Carpenter, Rus
sell and Cassell did stellar work, es-
pecially these three, but the whole A.
and M. team is one that is we'll put
together, and shows much training.
Ole Miss was simply too light for
the Moroon and White but the Red
and Blue upheld it's old reputation
game, scrappy and holding on until
the final whistle Score of remarks
were heard from Clarksdale people
about the gameness of the Oxford lads
and even though the University boys
lost the count in score, they won the
reputation Of being gritty and game
football team.
