Huge Crowd Jams Local Stadium For
First Annual Pecan Bowl Game

A large crowd of enthusiastic
spectators witnessed the first an
ual Pascagula Pecan Bowl game
here last Thursday night, seeing
two evenly-matched teams battle
all the way and filling the Golfers
of two very worthy charities.
The Biloxi Indians, led by di-
minutive halfback Fred Demou-
relle, took the beautiful Pecan
Bowl trophy after they had won
1875 from the Greenville Hornets
in a game that was in doubt until
literally the last minute.
the ball game, Demourelle I'M
corked a pass to Indian End Fred
Desonier for the second time in
the evening. and the game went
on ice and the trophy to the
hands of the Coast team.
The same performance had
been repeated early in the first
quarter.
The Indians had no cinch over
the lighter Greenville Hornets,
however, who sported a leading
conference punter in Guy Lamas-
tus, who repeatedly pulled his
team out of bad spots with his
booting. Lamastus also did the
lions zhare of the running for
the Hornets and tossed the Hor-
nets lone touchdown to Leonard
Jordan.
LARGE Crowd
A very large crowd, consider
ing the fact that the game was
played in midweek particularly,
turned out for the contest between
the two teams that were evenly
matched in Big Eight standing.
No one was disappointed,
Originated by the Knights of
Columbus, the Pecan Bowl was
played for two charities: the Kay
Gee Doll and Toy Fund and the
Elk's Crippled Children's Hospit-
al Fund.
Substantial sums ere raised
for both, after expenses for the
game had been deducted.
Festivities include the browning

Hard Contest
The game itself had all of the
elements bowl games should have
but seldom do. 1t was largely a
battle between backs Lamastus
and Demourell, with Jordan and
Pitalo sharing the honors in the
backfield with two potent for
ward walls.
The Hornets won the toss and
received but we're forced to punt
after gaining n first down
through the line. Then Biloxi took
over, and aided by a Is yard pen
ayty against the Hornets, moved
20 yards for a touchdown with
Demourelle and Pitalo alternating
most of the way.
The score came when Demou-
relle faded way back and tossed

one into the endzone to Desonier.
Porter's kick was wide.
Hornets Score
The Hornet score came after
Lamastus intercepted Demour-
elle's pass early in the second
quarter and raced As yards to the
Biloxi 20 before being downed.
Jordan then picked up four and
Etheridge made it a first on the
Biloxi 10. Etheridge then failed
to gain through the line and La
mastus faded back and dropped
the pigskin into the waiting arms
of Jordan and for the tally.
The ball game then rocked
along with the ball in Hornet
territory most of the time but the
Indians were unable to score I'M
til the game was nearly over
when Demourelle broke loose for
so yards to the Hornet 10.
Demourelle then passed to De-
sonier in the endzone but the
play was called back and the In
dians penalized five yards for
backs in motion. Then on the
last down and with less than a
minute to play, Demourelle hit
Desonier and the ball game was
over.
The Biloxi team will keep the
handsome trophy for one year
and will relinquish it to the win
ner of next''s years Pecan Bowl.

In the face of rising prices for

#" Bond purchasases for the

increase of approximately "a

Bond sales in July amounted to
S3,378,800, an increase of $1,O5j,
200 over June in Nebraska.
Total sales of "E", "F'' and &C"
Series in Nebraska during July
amounted to S9,166,690 an in

Nationally, bond sales for July
