Tigers Lose To
Haiiiesburg By
Score OF 1910

The Moss Point Tigers were
scheduled TO wind up their season
in a home game here yesterday
afternoon against the Picayune
Maroon Tide and were given even
chances Of turning back the Tide
and salvaging something from an
uneventful schedule.
Losing 1870 to Hattiesburg last
Friday night here on a sloppy
field, the Tigers had only their
upset defeat of Gulfport two
weeks ago and the Picayune pros
pect to cheer their fans.
Poplarville and Notre Dame
Of Biloxi, both "B" class in the
grid world, lost decisions to the
locals but the Tigers lost to five of
their six Big Eight opponents and
to Fairhope, Ala, and Panama
City. Fla, as well.
Facing a murderous schedule in
their second season in the Big
Eight with a light and largely
inexperienced team, the Moss
Point eleven was not slated to
shine brightly this year. Gradu-
alton depleted the ranks of their
fine team Of two years ago and
cleaned them out almost COM
pletely last year.
Visitors Score
The visiting Hub City eleven
took an early lead in last Fri
day nights game when they re-
covered a Tiger tumble in the
second quarter on the Moss Point
20. Jimmy Pittman, Hattiesburg
fullback, went over for the tally.
Pittman was a standout in the
fumble-ridden game on the mud
dy field but suffered a badly
twisted ankle late in the game
that will probably keep him out of
the Hubber's annual tussle with
neighboring Laurel In the sea-
sons final game.
The other Hattiesburg tally
came at the end of a sustained
drive with Halfback Moody Reed
scoring on a l3-yard end run.
Pittman hit the line for the ex-
ira point.
The victory gave the Hatties-
burg team five wins and three
losses in the eighteen-team Big
Eight conference and put them
in the upper half of the stand
ings.

Attend Funeral
OfLt. Hodge At
Biloxi, Nov. 20

Mesdames x. L. Walker, o. A.
Sinquefield, and H. l.. Smith and
Miss Gladys Quinn attended the
funeral of 1t. Grover c. Hodge
at the First Baptist church in
Biloxi, Thursday, November 20.
1t. Hodge, who held the rank
of flight commander, died of ex-
haustion and exposure after the
BIG in which he and his seven
comrades were flying crashed
near Lake Hebron in the Attic
region.
With other planes in their
squadron they left Greenland for
Goose Bay, Labrador October 8,
1912, but they encountered a hur-
ricane and became separated
from their squadron.
From a diary in which 1t.
Hodge made entries until too
weak to write, it was learned
that insufficient fuel prevented
their return to Greenland and
that they made a landing near
Lake Hebron. The plane was
wrecked but there were no in
juries. After "a few days three
of the party set out for Goose
Bay and were never heard from
again. The others apparently
died of exposure and exhaustion.
Their bodies were found by an
Eskimo in 1943. When found each
of the four men had a Bible but
toned against his heart.
The bodies lay in an impro-
vised camp in the plane in which
they died for two months. They
were then moved to a cemetery
at Fort Chino after which they
were reinterred at Fort Pepper
ell, Newfoundland until the bod
les were evacuated to the States
when that cemetery was deciar-i
ed a temporary one.
1t. Hodge was the son Of the
Rev. and Mrs. G. c. Hodge of
Biloxi.
During his student days at
Mississippi College at Clinton he
had for room mate, 1t. Harry
Wilcox of Moss Point who died
in action in European territory.
