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]
