 Washington, May IS. = (UP) = Honest Harold Iickes, high mogul of U. S. electric power, woke up one cloudy morning to read in the papers that American taxpayers were footing the bill for Canadian electric plant almost as big as Boulder Dam.

Moss Point Tigers Blank Tide r. o.;
Have Seven Bowl Offers In Hopper

The Moss Point Tigers romp-
ed on the Picayune Maroon Tide
yesterday afternoon TO the tune
of 27-0 to end a near-pecfect
season. Seven offers were already
in the hopper for the Bengals
and Coach Tom Swayze limited
that a bid would be forthcoming
from the jackson Lyons Bowl
and that his charges had voted
to answer the call there if it
came.
The humping victory over
Coach Sheriff Knights Tide
makes that bid virtually assured.
Bowl officials in the Capital
City have kept a close eye on
the Tigers throughout the sea-
son and have indicated an invi-
tation would be in the mail If
they ebbed the Tide of Picayune.
The decision was never in
doubt after the first quarter
during which the Tide rose be-
hind their one man back field,
Kenneth Thigpen, and rode his
aerial attack deep into Tiger ter
ritory. His first three heaves
were each good for a first down
and Robert Puyper took n end
around for the visitors TO move
to the Moss Point 8. Then the
Tigers terrific forward wall rip
ped through and smeared Thig-
pen for a heavy loss on an at
tempted pass and the ball went
over from there.
Tigers Score
The Tide failed to make a first
down for the second two quar-
ters while the Tigers racked up
10 and a touchdown. The Tiger
air attack got going after a poor
start in the middle of the sec
ond quarter with Louis Clay
heaving 35 Yards to Mack Mey-
ers on the Picayune five. Meyers
went over for the score stand
ing up and Junior White con-
verted.
Tne Tfae defe6se completely
collapsed in the final frame and
the Tigers scored three times.
Meyers went over on an end run
on the first play of the period
for % yards and pay dirt. The
kick failed. A few plays later,
Harry Davis intercepted a Tide
heave and ran ii to the picayune
nine from where Fields went
over two plays later. Davis con-
verted.
The dnal tally was set up
when Clay got loose for a fifty
yard iaunt to the Tide IL. Then
it was Fields M eyers-Fields for
the score and Clay passed to
Fields for the extra point.
The Tigerssmade 10 first downs
TO 9 for the visitors. They
heaved IA passes, completed 5,
and had one intercepted to 10
attempts for the Tide, 7 COM
pleted, and 2 intercepted. The
Tigers took go yards in penal
ties to 10 for the visitors and
three times penalties cost them
first downs.
