Rebels Hold Off North to Win 20-13 in North South Classic
Alabama star Harry Gilmer sparked the Rebels to a 20-13 victory over the North in Montgomery. He threw a 41 yard scoring pass to Duke's Kelly Mote, set up the winning drive with a third period interception, and starred on offense and defense. McWilliams scored two Rebels TDs, as Mississippi State’s Shorty McWilliams punched in a 1 yard end run and a second from a foot out. The South held a 72-34 rushing edge and 237-183 advantage in yards passing, with Gilmer completing 14 of 26 for 238 yards. The North scored on a 50 yard drive and a 17 yard move late, but failed to overcome the South’s early lead.
