TEAM, 14–⁠7 Aggies Play Cautious, But Consistent Ball To Win AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Miss, Dec. 1.-Playing a cautious, consist ent game against the wide open tac- tics of their opponents, the .Missis- sippi A. & M college eleven admin istered a IA to [ defeat to the Tigers from Louisiana State university in their annual clash on Scott field here today. Louisiana’s lone touchdown came in the second period on forward pass, Stevens to Miller, after Young had fumbled the Tiger backs punt on his own 20-yard line. Stevens kicked goal. All of the Tigers gains were due to the aerial attack. The Aggies’ touchdowns were the result of straight football. driving from the center field.
