Candy And Levie Are Out standing Southern Players In Mud Battle

UNIVERSITY, Miss, Nov. 3.-(Spe- ciaL)-The University of Mississippi Southerns and the Birmingham -South- ern Partners played at mud pies on the campus here this afternoon and called it football The water carni- val ended with the Partners at the short end of a to 0 tally. In driv- ing rain and a field of water that fathomed two inches 1t was any body's game. The water-logged ball belonged to anybody, too, and the whole thing was 8 mighty wet affair. The Partners with heavy and sup posedly non-skid line had slight odds as favorites but the old story about the heavy team on muddy field did not work. They got the ball into Ole Miss territory for only one time and were credited with two first downs
 Gandys work was good and their goal line was protected several times by Anderson and Miller with pretty kicks. Ole Miss scored the only quarter after line bucks by Akin and Muslin carried the ball into the danger zone. Muslin dived and slid over tackle for the points. Art Hoff, "Ole Miss" halfback, was the out standing star. He punted with dis tance and heighth, caught all of the Mississippi passes and organized the
 
 tackled and blocked the hardest seen on the university gridiron in several years. His blocking of Captain Gan dy in the first period kept the Bir- mingham Iuminary out of the playing until the second quarter.
 Jimmie Totten, little Mississippi end, provided the thrill of the tilt when he returned Anderson's punt for 45-yards over slippery ground. The Mississippi linemen provided excel lent interference throughout.
 In the heavy Panther forward at tack the work of Levie was good. This player stopped many plunges over the line and was the backbone of his teams offense. Though outweighed several pounds to the man the Mis- sissippi forwards outcharged the wis iting line and Mississippi's guards and tackles recovered four free balls.
 A recovery of a fumbled ball in the second quarter paved the way for the score of the game. Rough playing gave the officials much trouble. A player of each team was put out of the ness but few big penalties were meted out.
