OLE MISS 1870
L. S. U. MUCH SURPRISED
Red and Blue Pigskin Specialists Put
Up Great Fight In 1870 Victory
for l.. S. u.

Louisiana States rally IN the last
quarter after Ole Miss had gamely
held her scoreless for three twelve
minute periods resulted in 1870 vic
tory for Louisiana Tigrs. The game
was big surprise to L. S. U. as Mis-
sissippi was greatly moderated, due
to her overwhelming defeat at the
hands of Alabama Ole Miss was
handicapped in weight and also by the
loss of Ray, Lake, and Farmer, who
remained at home on account of injur-
les received in practise. l.. S. U. men
were pulling for the Tigers to roll up
big score and were given the scare
of their lives when the count stood
tied with only 10 minutes to play.
The game was played on State Field
in Baton Rouge and was witnessed
by record crowd.
During the first quarter Louisiana
was on Ole Miss territory and on sew
eral occasions drove right up to Mis-
sissippi's 10-yard line. Each time the
Ole Miss line held like a stone wall
and the Tigers did not score. The
second quarter showed no signs of the
strength of either side Louisiana
kept the ball in Ole Miss territory but
failed to score. Mississippi out
played L. S. U. during the third period
and most of the playing was in the
Tiger territory until the latter part of
the quarter In this quarter Missis-
sippi stopped her defensive style and
attempted little offensive work. The
Tigers came back strong in the last
quarter and worked the ball to the
vineyard line. Ole Miss made her last
stand and held them for downs, after
which Jiggetts punted. A ten-yard
pass, vineyard buck, and twenty
five yard buck carried the ball back
to the one-yard line GLADDEN. scored
and Ives kicked goal. Perry Hague
made several small gains and then car
ried the pig skin over with twenty
yard end run. Dutton failed to kick.
Barbour and Jiggetts in the Ole Miss
back field did excellent work. Bar
bour showed steady work and good
form in carrying the ball. Jiggetts'
toe was an essential factor in the law
sscore. The varsitys quad held the l..
S. U. bunch scoreless during the first
half and during the last half the Louis
ianians carried the ball over for 1870
victory. The Varsity showed real
fighting spirit when cornered and sew
eral times after the Tigers had reach
ed the ten-yard line sent them back
without a score. Capt. Cowart and
Creekmore played beautiful game in
the line and Murff showed great form
in the back field. McDaniels and
Gordon also showed plenty of the
cole time pep and fight"
Coach Sullivan is we'll pleased with
the results of the Ole Miss-L. S. U.
fracus. He says that the showing
Saturday was the result of highly i'm
proved play on the part of Ole Miss
rather than any weakness on the part
of L. S. U. The coach believes that
if the team keeps up the fight shown
in the game Saturday and with Ray,
Lake and Farmer back on the field we
have an even chance with the Missis-
sippi State Cow-Punchers.
