description	"With injuries still forcing men to remain on the bench, Auburn's crippled team, led by sophomores Clifford Grubbs and Johnny Liptak, battled Mississippi State furiously before losing a 14-0 ball game. The Tigers, who entered the game a four touchdown underdog, played gallantly to hold the score down. Grubbs looked terrific in the ground gaining department and Liptak, who caught six passes,was the outstanding lineman on the field. Harper Davis, State's fleet halfback, was the thorn in Auburn's side as he reeled touchdown runs of 22 and 50 yards to give the victory to the Maroon eleven. The defensive play of Coker Barton, Andy DOuglas, and Fred Duart highlighted the play of the Tigers." (Description from 1948 Glomerata)
