one of the genuine thrills of the
game, and brought cheers from both
sides of the field, both the Crimson
and the Maroon recognizing a worthy
play and giving the executor his due.
After MCGOWAN had kicked the goal
following the touchdown, the score
stood: Alabama Mississippi A. and
M. z, and that's how the two teams
finished the game.
Almost Duplicates
Cameron came within yard or two
of duplicating his feat OF the third
quarter when he intercepted a pass
while going at full speed, and re-
turned from his own 4o-yard line and
ran way down in Alabama's terri
tory, only to slip and fall with only
one man between himself and the goal
line.
