  Mississippi Doubles Score on Georgia In Wild Game ATHENS, Ga, Oct. 12.-Bespecialized Harry Mehre, dismissed as Georgia’s football coach three years ago, came back to Sanford Field today with brilliant squad of Mississippi Rebels to whip Georgia, 28–⁠14, in wild and woody battle before $4,000 fans. Mississippi’s high-geared outfit, paced by JUNE Hovious and Merle Hapes, ran, passed and punted Georgia dizzy for three quarters, but Wally Butts courageous Bull dogs, studded with sophomores, hung on to the end. In the final quarter little Hayward Allen cut loose with passes which brought two Georgia touchdowns IN seven plays.
