Ole MISS GIVES
TULANE BIG SCRAP
SHOW FIGHTING SPIRIT.
Jiggetts, Morris, Barbour and Lake
Feature; COwart and Mechanics
Hold Down Ends Well.

Sunday afternoon the team return
ed from New Orleans, where Satur-
day they had suffered defeat at
the hands of Tulane's speedy eleven.
This was a great disappointment for
all here at the University and to the
team itself for we had hoped that we
might by hard fighting overcome the
advantage Of added weight and ex-
perience. Coach, himself was very
hopeful that all who witnessed the
game looked for scores by the re-
and blue team. Our opponents weight,
experience, playing at home and the
weather all combined against US and
enabled them to beat us by the ex-
tremely close score of Pip. Ole Miss
in the first few minutes of play lost
two of her best men and later the
whole team began to show the elects
of the fearfully hot weather. Used
to practicing on the muddy field in
the cool rain the team was not able to
stand up under the terrific heat Of
mid summer day.
In the first quarter, Tulane started
| with a rush and before we could get
the cinders from the train out of our
eyes had scored twice. Then Ole
Miss settled down and for the next
fifteen minutes had the best of it.
Jiggetts kicked a pretty field gold
giving us the first score against them
At the beginning Of the next hall
we began to weaken under the weather
and they scored twice more, giving
| them the moderate score of 27. During
| the next quarter the Red and Blue
came back with a kick and threw
Tulane back under their own goal for
a safety. A few minutes later Nor
ris in full went over right tackle for
a touchdown. He ran about fifteen
u yards for this and it was one of the
\ pmttiest runs of the game. Dick
Fields himself. who practically won the
game for Tulane didn't do better
tho he made some mighty pretty
runs.
The team as whole played good
ball, working as one unit the whole
game. "Possum" McDaniels and
cap" Cowart at ends played a beau
tiful defensive game and Barbour ran
well till knocked out in the second
| half. Jiggetts and Lake both showed
up well both on defensive and at car
rying the ball. Morris at full played
better than ever before, picking his
holes with remarkable precision and
accuracy. Carney at quarter ran the
team we'll and used his head at ali
times keeping the opponents guessing
thru the entire game.
"A After holding Tulane to such close
score we feel that there is splendid
chance to beat the hated rivals at
Miss. College. With the team work
ing as it is now we can't lose.

is that provided by the "romancers. -
This old form Of entertainment dates
from Shakespcare's day.
The hostess selects four or more
friends some days before the party. who
can read or tell stories well, and they
may read. or preferably commit to
memory, the stories to be used for the
guests entertainment. These may be
taken from late magazines. books or
from original manuscripts provided they
are vital enough to hold the interest
of the ordinary listener.
In choosing tales for this style Of
amusement one of love should be Sc
lected. one of real adventure, another
of mystery. of interest intense enough
to hold the audience spellbound and one
which is also a human document-"sob
stuff" If you will. which will tug at
the heart strings OF the most hardened
listener.
Odd Variations.
The stories. music and the plenteous
feast will fill the evening. and the
guests to repletion without adding any
other features. If the porch is large
enough. and the guests insist. a small
and early dance might still be INDUCED
in. Should the hostess wish to supply
odd souvenirs. then let her give the
women the little wooden fork and spoon
salad sets. attractlVely tied with corn
blades. and the men corncob pipes.
To make a costume affair out of the

done. These costumes are comparative
