...quarter, he twice gambled and twice won by running himself on fourth down and short yardage to go, accounted for 37 yds. in his team's 49-yd. drive for the touchdown that numbed Wisconsin then and there. When Wisconsin quick-kicked, the ball was blocked. Recovering, Wisconsin punted again, and fleet Halfback George Fleming gathered in the ball, scampered 53 yds. into the end zone. Making Wisconsin look slow-witted and heavy-footed, Schloredt powered four straight plays through All-America Tackle Dan Lanphear (6 ft. 2 in., 222 Ibs.), gained 42 yds. and sent the lineman limping...
...Coach Johnny Vaught at his team. Ole Miss did. Calm and grim, Mississippi tacklers crushed L.S.U.'s running game for a minus 15 yds., gave up only 8 yds. in six tries to All-America Halfback Billy Cannon, who had won the first game with an 89-yd. punt return (TIME, Nov. 9).

Finally a bowlegged halfback in a white and gold L.S.U. jersey plucked a bouncing punt out of the air on his 11, and All-America Billy Cannon set out for glory. He shrugged off one red-jerseyed tackier, ran right over a second. At midfield, Cannon surprised Mississippi's Fullback Charlie Flowers by cutting back instead of trying to go to the outside. (Admitted Flowers, an all-America candidate himself: "It was like a high school player trying to tackle an All-America. He went through my hands like nothing.") Cannon was all by himself when...
