Delta State broke a three game losing streak as it ran roughshod over Mississippi College in Delta State ' s homecoming game. Carl Grubb picked up most of Delta State ' s yardage. M.C. made only three first downs to Delta ' s fourteen and was unable to get past Delta State ' s 30 yard line. The next weekend, Delta State again triumphed, this time over Livingstone State, 39-19. In this game, linemen Durwood Strain and Marvin Brown, along with quarterback Norman Wells, were outstanding. De,fa ores aa., ,, . . ' PP ' Co lege Ed Ladner T J[ Robert Thompson T (cont.) For the third time in a row, Delta trounced its oppone nt — Troy State, 28-7. Carl Grubb made two touchdowns, and Mike Nichols and Rex Nowlin made one each. Brilliant quarterback- ing by Norman Wells added much to Delta State ' s strength. Undefeated, untied, Southeast Mo. ended the 1955 grid season by defeating Delta State 24- 7. Seniors Prestage, Nelson, Brown, Parker, Frazier, Thompson, and Rozzell said goodbye to college football .
