Football: Baton Rouge, L.S.U. Beats Mississippi Louisiana State University and Mississippi, both unbeaten and untied in a clash of titans. Ole Miss leads in the final quarter until the Tigers' Billy Cannon explodes from the 11 yard line for a ninety yard run that wins the game for L.S.U., 7-3. College football. High angle crowd cheering. Charlie Powers (?). Field goal. People (hard to see who -- cheerleaders?) run along sideline carrying Confederate flags. Quarterback sacked. Looks like slippery muddy day -- and one player (Billy Cannon?) slips from grasp of several tacklers to score TD.
