Black Paces Mississippi To 26-13 Win By RUSS NEWLAND SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6-(J)-raccd bv a Seabiscuit in football pants, a human dynamo who went over, under and around his oppo sition, Mississippi State college scored a 26 to 13 rout over Uni versity of San Francisco's Dons in their interactional game here Saturday. Blondy Black, a halfback who seemed to have wings on his feet, led the Maroons in their devastating attack and tht San Francisco Dons, to the last man on the bench, will be tickled iink If they never look at his No. 18 Jersey aagin. While Black was only one cog , in a well drilled squad of sou-1 therners who buckled down to business with the opening kickoff, his speed, poise and all around gridiron ability was the main fac tor in the one-sided contest. Black capped his afternoon with an 83-yard run through the en tire San Francisco team. It was off a fake punt and the deliberate manner in which he received the ball, surveyed the field and gal doped off, was one of the thrilling plays seen here this season. The Maroons lined up as V -t to 1 favorites, and Justified the odds from the outset. Some 20, 000 fans, sitting through a per fect football day, testified to that when they left the field. They demonstrated, ably and impressively, why they won the Snuthrastfi-n conference cham pionship and completed their sea son with but one defeat, that to unbeaten, untied Duquesne.
