Locals outfought By 0p- ponents, Who Rush Through Line For Touchdown Early In Game

 The Mississippianss opened the ! game with rush and the locals seemed unable to check them in their . line plunges. The Choctaws marched down the field for touchdown. : Halted only once by the Partners. the Choctaws punted. and halted the Panthers on their attempt to carry
 the ball and resumed their march. : which ended in the first score. Parks carried the ball over with a beautiful end run. Six of the visitors points came ! from field goals, one by Parks and 7 the other by Lambright The final touchdown came in the fourth quar- ter when Berry recovered Panther < punt and Long plunged through the : line for d touchdown. McClawn z kicked goal.
 The ChCctaws were searching for the wide open spaces in the Panther 2 line in the first quarter and walked through them With little trouble.
 Running through tackle at random they used few end runs and passes. @ Most of the gains were made on straight football.
 The Panthers fought when they 5 were forced to and occasionally held !. the Mississippians when near their ]. bnt generally lost the ball on a tumble, an intercepted pass s or a blocked kick, all of which fig ured in the Choctaws' scoring. } The visitors clearly outclassed 2 their opponents and although almost a the same weight showed more drive, z and fight than the Methodists and held like a stone wall on the de- : fense.
 The work of Parks, at quarter. was
 too good for the Panther ends ana z backs and this diminutive young
 ster, who dealt the local clan mis- 2 this year, His end runs were hard
 to check and his head work good Berry, at end, was another shining light for the Choctaws. He recov-
 cred several fumbles and intercepted several passes. He recovered punt. which had been touched by @ local player and was free ball on Birmingha -SCutherns five-yard g line and a touchdown resulted. Hud- z son also came through with some z good work in the line; asod lie piocAeV I 2 a punt of Miller's and recovered It = and gave the Choctaws a chance 10 < score a field goal

 hainR made over < the line of consequence by the S Panthers, and their only means of ad- - vancing the ball was forward pass ~ ing and end runs.
 ; In the fourth quarter the Method s ists opened up with series or prlI- < liant passes that threw scare into 2 the. Choctaws. Starting from thelr E own 2O-yard line, Miller gained four g wards on a long end run. He hurried
 a pass directly into the hands or < Red Richardson, which he fumpleo as
 he did two or three others, then the A prettiest pass of the game was pulled 2 On a run play Miller threw a ZO-
 yard pass to "Bulle" Williams, who s was speeding up the field. Wllilams
 reached up and caught it in his ringer @ tips broke loose from tackler and
 ran 10 yards farther, placing the pail st on the 5O-yard line. Then Miller shot
 a direct pass to P. Howell for 1O
