Moss Point Tigers In Win Column;
Play Big New Orleans Team Tonight

The Moss Point Tigers got on
the right side of the ledger FRI
day night, downing Gulfport, TO.
but injuries, bedeviling the Point
ers all season, make il look tough
for tonight.
They meet Francis T. Nichols
on the Rebels home ground, New
Orleans.
Crepe is being hung this week
for Pat Gardner, best looking back
the Pointers have shown this
year, who bruised his hip in the
last quarter Friday and may not
see action tonight.
Son Rhodes, who was of all
Big-8 calibre, has been chipping
bones right and left and definite
ly won't play tonight.
-Four Regulars Out
Last Friday, with four regulars
sitting on the bench, the Tigers
ran all over the Commodores -
attested by their Is first downs
against three for the foe but
could score only once, four min
utes before the end of the game.
Jesse Gum, guard, and Danny
Hall, back, didn't get into the
game. They had bad knees. Gene
Young, outstanding end, had a
severe cold. Rhodes, of course,
was unable to play.
This put the reserves on a hot
spot but they responded admir-
ably and Coach Shields today is
mighty proud of the games turned
in by ends Dutch Schatz, jerry
Gardner and Dede Daley; right
half Ed Wilkinson, left half Philip
Watts and right guard Gary
Smith.
Wilkinson Is Fast
Smith took the place Of Gum
and turned in a fine defensive
game. Wilkinson soon will be an
experienced utility player. He
started out this year at fullback,
switched to end, where he played
well, and now is at half in
Rhodes place. Coach Shields says
he's the fastest back, not except
ing Pat Gardner.
1t was all Moss Point Friday
night, but it looked for a long
while as if the game would end
scoreless. Four minutes before
the end, however, the Pointers
lost the ball on downs on the
Commy IL.
A Gulfport desperation pass
was neatly intercepted on the 20
by Bobby Rouse, Tiger center,

and run back to the four. Norm
Stewart bulled over for tn
touch and Wells kicked goal.
Another Big Foe
Tonight. the Tigers square off
against a team that's probably
bigger than the McComb hefties.
Nichols, a Louisiana Glass AA
team, had been beaten by Mem
phis' Messick. 20-6, but last week
won over New Orleans Peters,
1877.
The Rebels will throw against
the Tigers one of the big city's
best backs, Ray Weidenbacher.
AT quarterback, it'll be Ham,

The Roads Rocky For Rocky And Rebs
BY Albin Krebs
(The Chronicle Correspondent

AlABG ~ OAiA(AC
University-When the Ole Miss
Rebels meet Vanderbilt's Commo-
dores in Nashville tomorrow aft
ernoon, they'll be out for blood
enough of it to make up for that
unbelievable 47~0 drubbing the
University of Kentucky Wildcats
handed them last Saturday.
On hand to bolster Reb hopes
for victory will be Pascagoula's
Ronard Rocky" Byrd, star quar-
terback on Pascagoula High
schools l947 Big Eight champion
team and now occupant of the
second-string OBJ slot at Ole Miss.
Byrd will see lots of action in
that game, as he has in Reb en-
counters with Memphis State, Au-
burn and Kentucky.
Much Blame on OBJ
It's at the quarterback spot that
much of the blame for that Wild
cat victory last Saturday may be
laid. A much-touted aerial battle
between Ole Miss back Bobby
Jabour and Tucky's Parilli failed
to materialize. In the first few
seconds of the game the Rebs
got within eight yards of the goal
but nothing Jabour could do got
them any closer.
Rocky Byrd played only a few
minutes in the Kentucky game,
but in the Memphis State battle,
he was on the field for at least 30
minutes. II was in that game that
he tossed a fast one to send Bill
Stribling for a Rebel touchdown.
He's completed half of the 20
passes attempted, but saw two
nice passes intercepted in that in
glorious game last weekend to
put the Kentuekian's dangerously
to scoring-once to the l0-yard
stripe.
Commerce Soph
Rocky, l9-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Schley Byrd, is a sopho-
more in the school of commerce
and business administration. He
was first-string OBJ on the Rebel
freshman team last year and
played some outstanding ball.
He's been mentioned in several
of the preseason pigskin pre-
views, among them Francis Wal,
lace's Golfers magazine choices,
as "a sophomore to keep your
eyes on"
Reb Coach Johnny Vaught, in
keeping his eyes on Byrd, has

who was graduated last year, CIV
ing Rocky special tutoring in the
art of field generalship. Byrd and

lake Tops Central
To Lead League;
Beech, South Tie

Lake shaded Central. 60, Tues
day night and Beach and South
fought to a ~scoreless tie in the
Pascagoula Pee-Wee football
league.
In a game rated a tossup, Lake
scored once in the first quarter
on a 55-yard run by Clinton Lar
son, then frightened up to keep
Central well in hand. Larson
scored on a reverse around left
end.
The win puts Lake at the top
of the league with three wins, no
losses, and drops Central to sec
ond with two and one.
Beach, aided by some new blood
shipped in by Coach Dutch Bin
ion, had all the best of South,
trampling up and down the field
at will, but they couldn't score
1t was perhaps the most salts
factory ending for the leagues
two smaller schools, neither of
which has won a game.
Beach was led by newcomer
Gordon Trehern, a kid with a
bull-like thrust through the line,
and Don Price, another tough,
big boy.
Lake showed another real pros
pect in Gale Bowman, who runs,
tackles and threw a couple of
really expert blocks Tuesday
night.
Games Monday night, begin
ming at Z p. m, will pit Central

Panthers Lose To McGill; Point For
Indians In Tonighi's Battle

The Pascagoula Panthers lost
their second straight game to a
Mobile team Friday night when
they were handed a 32-7 licking
by the McGill High school Vel
lowjackets. The game was played
in Mobiles Laid Memorial
stadium.
Coach Binion said this week
that it was again a case of just
too much weight and experience
for his light Pascagoula team.
However, the squad came out OF
the game with no injuries other
than bruises and, with the ex-
ception of Massengale, will be in
top shape for tonight's game with
Biloxi. The game will be played
on the Indians gridiron.
Bright spot for the Panthers in
last weeks game was a 78-yard
run by Charley Kuhn, who has
been playing outstanding ball for
the Pascagoula team.
After the locals took a McGill
kickoff, Kuhn broke off left
tackle from his own %, fought
clear of the Yellowjacket secon-
dairy and outran the safety man
for the score. Kuhn also picked
up the extra point through the
line.
Score In Every Period
The Yellowjackets scored in
every period and were simply too
much for the Panthers. The air.
ways accounted for three of the
Yellowjackets' five touchdowns
with Quarterback Vincent Dooley
doing an outstanding job of mark
manship with the oval.
The first McGill score came
shortly after the opening of the
game when Dooley passed to L.
Jacobs on the Pascagoula 10.
Jacobs went over standing up.
Dooley again passed for a score
in the second quarter when he
heaved a beautiful toss from the
Panther "a to Jimmy Quinlivan
in the end zone.
A sustained drive in the third
quarter carried the Yellowjackets
to the Pascagoula six from where
Partridge scored.
A tumble on the next kickoff
gave the Yellowjackets the ball
on the Panther %. Dooley again
passed for the score when, on the

thinking, and possesses an air of
confidence not unlike that of for-
mer Reb back Charley Conerly.
He's a better than average punter.
Chances for Rocky's taking over
the star OBJ position next year
are doubtful since Jabour will be
back for a final year with Ole
Miss. But the Pascagoula flash
has rooted himself firmly to that
.second-string spot and when the
Rebels take to the air for Vandy
at Nashville, Boston college at
Boston and Texas Christian at
Fort Worth, he'll be riding right
along.
He'll be on hand, too, when Ole
Miss meets Chattanooga at OK

Mississippi State at Starkville.

third play, he tossed to Duke on
the Pascagoula 10 who ran the
remaining distance over the goal
line.
The final McGill score came
on a 75-yard run by Partridge in
the last minute of play.
The Panthers this week were
still working on their pass de-
tense, Coach Binion said. The
lack of an adequate aerial defense
has proved the Panthers' weakest
point this season and Biloxi will
probably take to the air in to-
nights game to capitalize on it.

Americans will go to war on be-
half of those who have op-
pressed us for generations,

generation has raised our people

statement and to explain that

The Rustic Church

% Rush A. NJ E., Church. Cambridge on the occa-
ion OF its 10th Anniversary, May |, 1949,
BY George Reginald Margetson
When Cambridge was wilderness
And souls for spiritual light did grope,
That man should not be comfortless
You shed the beams of faith and hope.
The wandering sheep that went astray
You guided back into the fold,
Along the straight an dnarrow way,
TIL He, the Christ, once more took hold.
Here, meath tie shadow of His wing
He touched my heart, and made me sing,
OF joy-from noble deeds that spring
With fragrant memories that cling.
A little, faithful, struggling band,
Burdened with hardships, spurns disaster;
Pledging each to each the helping hand
Linked in service of the Master.
We've held together through the years,
With Bloice and Fairfax, Foggie and Lee;
With Clement now, in answered prayers,
The harvest Of our toll we see.
Leaders of Zion, called by God
With Christ the Gallilean sank their net,
This branch, deep rooted in the sod,
Nurtured by time, Is Towering yet.
Full seventy years you've stood the test
And kept loves altar-candles burning
The Grace of God made manifest,
In answering to the souls deep yearning
So, may Your Heaven-refecting light
On future generations shine;
And lead men from wars cursed blight
To that Great Light which is Divine
If Christ should come to earth today,
Would He join the crowd at Pleasures Meet
Or follow the CLEAN Of His cheering ray
To the rustic church in the back street?
