The Coahoma Junior College Tig-

by downing the Prentiss Institute
Tigers, 14-0, at Prentiss on Thanks
giving day.
Overcoming heavy penalties
which set them back 100 yards, the
Coahomans scored twice in the sec
ond period for a lead which was
never threatened. Quarterback Rob-
ert Holloway sneaked across from
the one, climaxing a drive which
carried for so yards on the running
of halfbacks Lanston Pickett and
John Mobiles. Lenard Haley, ran
the conversion. Haley caught a Is
yard toss from Holloway for the
second I'd and closed the scoring
by dashing across for the PAT.
The win over Prentiss gave the
Tigers a clean sweep of conference
opponents and clinched the South

for the strong squad from Clarks-

Both have lost to Southern, Gramb-

that can in any way compare with
Corny Addison and Willie Richard

Despite this, however, the Tigers

for recount inasmuch as his mar

Past experience indicates that
margin of defeat is ordinarily in
creased in a recount; rarely is a
defeat changed to a victory with
voting machines.
In Wards a, 8, and 10, other
