Hill, Smith, and Maloney gave the offense a strong ground attack while Bishop, passing to ends Menefee and Hagood, gave it the aerial balance. The defense, backed by Fields, Cox, Staley, Whelan, Wy- lie, Foreman, and Eustace, outplayed the heavier Vikings. AUSTIN COLLEGE 32 SOUTHERN STATE QARKANSASD 24 Southern State scored first with a field goal in this action-packed game. Austin came back with a touchdown as Foreman recovered a fumble deep in State's territory. The Kangaroos scored again after Fields returned a punt 65 yards to paydirt. Austin College's strong defense held State scoreless the second half while offense led by Bishop came from behind and gave AC its sixth win. AUSTIN COLLEGE' 19 MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 21 Austin lost a heartbreaker and the Mineral Water Bowl bid to the Mis- sissippi College Choctaws. This controversial game found the Hoppers 14 points behind before Bishop connected with Bengel for AG's first touchdown. Mississippi's offense never crossed the 50 in the second half, but its lead was too much for the Kangaroos. AUSTIN COLLEGE 48 SOUTHWESTERN OF MEMPHIS 27 Southwestem struck first in this one-sided affair after a fumble put the Lynx on AC's 10. But behind the coordinated efforts of Bishop, Hill, Ben- gel, and Hagood, the Kangaroos bounced back and scored five times before the second period. The reserves took over for most of the second half, end- ing AC's best football season since 1959. Chuck Hudson Bill Wylie Jack Morrison George M.
