  H-Boys Wins For Ole Miss By Score Of 14–⁠6 OXFORD, Miss, Oct. 19.-R- Mississippi’s H-boys, Hovious and Hapes, injected new life into a slow starting ole Miss squad today as the. Rebels turned back Duquesne, IA to 6, before a homecoming crowd of 10000. The Rebels, slow in recovering from last weeks great effort against Georgia, for the first two periods made little Roadway against the Pittsburgh squad which trotted out its trickiest plays for southern inspection. Not until the third quarter did Ole Miss and her touchdown twins really get under way. The Junie Hovious passed from his W 40 to Eubanks, who tore to the left and went out of bounds on Duquesne’s II. It was Merle Hapes on the next play, around right end for the touchdown. Hovious kicked the extra point. Duquesne took only three plays to come back, Gonda running the kickoff from his own 10 to the Rebel 46, a line drive picking up two yards, and Chadonic swinging wide on a successful fake reverse to cross the goal line standing. Rokisky’s kick failed. Hovious’ touchdown came late in the final period when he grabbed a 45,yard pass from Hapes, right from under the noses of two big Duquesne backs who had stepped over the goal with him. Hovious’ kick was again good for the final point in a score that sent the Rebels along their undefeated march and ended the Pennsylvanians’ H. game winning streak. 1
