II. -UH-Vanderbilt’s man with the magic toe, Zach Clinard, place. kicked the Commodores to the head of the Southeastern Conference class today when his boots provided the difference in a stirring 10 to 6 victory over Mississippi. Clinard, whose field goal enabled Vanderbilt to upset Moth western in the seasons opener, sailed a three-pointer through the bars in the first period today before a cheering crowd of %, 500 and the Commodores were never headed. But Mississippi’s Charley Conerly, a threat every time he pitched or booted the ball, kept the previously unbeaten Rebels in the ball game all the way.
