Before the season

Previously in 1927, Nollie Felts played baseball with the Hattiesburg Pinetoppers of the Cotton States League,[1] which resulted in his ineligibility ruled by the Southern Conference for the 1932 college football season.[2][3][4] The Greenies lost "their great leader" Felts shortly before opening week against Texas A&M.[5]
