MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 13-MEXICO 19 The Mississippi College Choctaws bowed to the University of Mexico Pumas 19-13 in their initial game of the 1954 season. The Choctaws pulled ahead of the Pumas in the opening quarter when Jim Mangum threw a touchdown pass to Jim Wilson and then converted to make us seven points in the lead. The speedy and talented Mexican squad didn't cross the Chocs six-point strip until the third quarter, but soon after the Braves'Jim Wilson recovered a fumble behind the Pumas' goal line for his second TD of the night to give the Baptist boys a 13-6 lead over the Pumas. The South of the Border boys found way to the Choctaws checker-board area two times in the final quarter and converted once to make the final score 19-13 and to take home a well earned victory over their friendly neighbors from Mississippi College.
