The 1933 Mississippi College Choctaws football team was an American football team that represented Mississippi College as a member of the Dixie Conference and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) in the 1933 college football season. Led by Stanley L. Robinson in his ninth season as head coach, the team compiled an overall record of 3–4–1 and with a mark of 1–1–1 in Dixie Conference play and 2–3 against SIAA competition.

Schedule

The Choctaws were originally scheduled to open their season on September 23 against the National Autonomous University of Mexico at the Century of Progress exposition in Chicago, but the game was cancelled by exposition officials. [1] In a formal statement, Mississippi College athletic director Stanley L. Robinson said: "Mississippi college fears that neglect of exposition authorities in this matter will have a tendency to injure the cordial relations which have existed between the two schools for the past several years."
