THE COURIER-JOURNAL TIMES, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1973 Holloway is the hero in Tennessee win A A si A Holloway took Tennessee 62 yards for the tying score, passing 11 yards to fullback Rudder for the six-pointer. Tennessee had the upper hand the rest of the way. Holloway raced 20 yards on a broken pass play for the second Vol touchdown after safety Eddie Brown had intercepted Jim Stevens' pass and returned the ball 20 yards to the Tech 23. Paul Careathers, subbing for injured tailback Haskel Stanback, hit off right tackle and raced 40 yards for Tennessee's final touchdown in the third quarter. Associated Prtis KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

Both head coaches agreed on one thing: Condredge Holloway was the difference in Tennessee's 20-14 victory over Georgia Tech yesterday. "I can't say enough about Holloway," said Tech coach Bill Fulcher. "He is a tremendous athlete." "Holloway is indescribable and I am glad he's on our team," said Tennessee coach Bill Battle.

Louisiana ball carriers rambled for 239 yards and their passers accounted for another 118. But neither team fumbled throughout the game and there was only one penalty, 15 yards against Auburn for roughing the kicker. Auburn's defensive star David Langner, his broken right hand still bandaged, got into the game in the third quarter and his appearance seemed to stiffen the Tigers defense.

But it was too late. LSU was too far ahead and Auburn didn't have the offensive spark to catch up. For Louisiana State, Davis gained 58 yards rushing and 31 on pass receptions. Miley ran nine times for 51 yards and completed four out of nine passes for 92.

LSU-FG, Jackson, 19. AUBURN, Ala. (AP) Scrambler Mike Miley hit tailback Brad Davis with a 28-yard touchdown pass and threw a 51-yard bomb that set up another six-pointer yesterday as undefeated, 10th ranked Louisiana State whipped Auburn 20-6 in a Southeastern Conference football game. The victory, before a record Auburn crowd of 64,331, reserved LSU's domination over the Auburn Tigers. The two teams have played four times in the past 31 years and Louisiana State has won all four.

Auburn scored first when tailback Rick Neal, the sophomore hero of last Saturday's 14-7 victory over Ole drove across from the two. Roger Pruett, who had kicked seven extra points in seven attempts in the first four games this season, missed the one yesterday. LSU went ahead in the second period when Davis scored from the five after Miley had put them within range with his 51-yard pass to split end Al Coffee. It was the first touchdown scored against Auburn on the ground this season. Davis put six more points on the board before halftime on Miley's 28-yard pass after first moving LSU downfield with a 24-yard tailback pass to tight end Brad Boyd.

Auburn's only score came after David Hughes blocked Rusty Jackson's punt and Auburn got the ball on the LSU 30. But after the initial Auburn touchdown it was Louisiana State all the way. Offensively, it was Auburn's worst Alabama whips Florida 35-14; Todd stars Associated Press GAINESVILLE, Fla. "The two main lucks in a winning season are injury luck and schedule luck," coach Paul (Bear) Bryant said yesterday after his third-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide rolled over Florida 35-14 in a Southeastern Conference game. "Florida has been unlucky in both," Bryant said.

"I'm real sorry Nat Moore got hurt. He's a great athlete and I'd like to see him play." Moore, the Florida star who was just back from a foot injury, was sidelined early against Alabama with an injury to his left knee. His return next week is doubtful. Florida coach Doug Dickey said the losses of Moore and his other top running back, Vince Kendrick, hurt his team's chances against Alabama. "With Moore and Kendrick in there all the way, I believe it would have been different," Dickey said.

"Alabama came to play but our mistakes affected the final score." The victory was the fifth of the season for undefeated Alabama, which meets unbeaten Tennessee next Saturday in an SEC showdown at Birmingham. Alabama achieved 248 yards total offense, just 15 more than Florida had. "Florida whiDDed us in the middle," Bryant said. "They may have whipped us everywhere; I think they probably did." Bryant said Alabama's defense made up for offensive errors and praised the running of quarterback Richard Todd and freshman tailback Calvin Culliver, along with the punt returning of Willie Shelby. Todd, who directed four touchdown drives and led Alabama in rushing with 94 yards, said Florida caused the Tide some trouble by shifting defenses while he was calling signals.

Florida linebacker Ralph Ortega rated Alabama "more physical than Louisiana State University. They got off the line real quick and let us know what they were going to do then defied us to stop it." Louisiana State whipped Florida 24-3 last week. Florida now is 2-3 on the season. Statistics Ala. Fla.

"There were a lot of question marks about our defense," Georgia coach Vince Dooley said yesterday, "but after today I think the defense is back at Georgia where it belongs." The Georgia defense had just shut out Mississippi with a goal line stand in the closing minute that stopped three Ole Miss plays from inside the two-yard-line as Georgia registered a 20-0 Southeastern Conference football victory. "The thing that made the game so pleasing was at the end when our defense made that great goal line stand," Dooley said.

"I can't say enough about the defense." Dooley said he was displeased at his offense failing to score touchdowns in the second half, despite getting several opportunities to do so. "We had some terrible mistakes," Dooley said. One in particular was a bad pitchout at the Ole Miss one that forced Georgia to take a 17-yard loss and then fail on a field goal attempt. "Georgia was certainly a rugged football team," said Johnny Vaught, the veteran coach who was re-hired this year after Ole Miss lost its first two its first three games. "They have some skilled athletes and showed that particularly on the option series," said Vaught.

"They are certainly physical." Vaught said he was still trying to determine who should quarterback his Ole Miss team. Three players were used at quarterback against Georgia and none was effective until the end of the game when Bill Malouf completed three passes for 86 yards in a drive that died at the Georgia one as time ran out. "Our passing game is simply killing us," said Vaught. "Our running has been pretty well, but our passers today just did not get the ball to the receivers." Statistics Mist.

Tennessee will risk its streak next Saturday against undefeated Alabama Holloway's touchdown pass against Tech was, as Fulcher put it, "a magnificent effort." At least a half dozen Tech players got their hands on Holloway before he threw to Rudder, alone in the end zone. "There is no way to work in practice against a player like that," Fulcher declared. Battle, who has described Holloway as a "coach on the field," said: "We need for him to make one of those unbelievable plays each week for us to win." Ricky Townsend missed an extra point after Tennessee's last TD, thus ending the Vols' streak at 105 successful kicks. "I just missed it," Townsend said. "It was a good snap and a good hold and I hit it good.

Maybe I hit it a little back towards my ankle, causing it to go off to the right." George Hunt, now kicking for the Baltimore Colts, began the string in 1970 and booted 60 straight before turning the job over to Townsend, who added 45 in a row before missing. Georgia Tech, now 2-3, jumped off to an early lead, marching 80 yards with Rick Hill plunging from the one for the touchdown. Midway, through the second period, Statistics Ga. Teth Tenn.

Associated Press Writer TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Quarterback Rockey Felker passed for two touchdowns and tailback Stan Murray ran for two more in the first 17 minutes of the game as Mississippi State crushed Florida State 37-12 yesterday.

Mississippi State put the game out of reach with 21 points in the first quarter, all scored after Florida State fumbles. Felker, entering the game as the total offense leader in the Southeastern Conference, added 35 yards rushing and 148 The University of Louisville plays SEC joe Mississippi State at Fairgrounds Stadium next Saturday night. yards passing on seven completions of nine attempts. Felker went out of the game midway in the third quarter with a jammed finger on his passing hand. Fullback Wayne Jones led the Mississippi State offense on the ground, gaining 137 yards to bring his season's total to 551 yards.

Mississippi State, which lost to Kentucky 42-14 last week, now owns a 3-1-1 record. Florida State is winless in five starts. The first Mississippi State touchdown was set up when defensive end Allen Brantley recovered a Florida State fumble at the Seminole 31. Mississippi State scored in seven plays, Murray going the final four yards on a sweep. Jones makes big gains On the first play after the kickoff, linebacker Harvey Hull recovered another fumble at the Forida State 24 and Mississippi State scored five plays later when Felker passed 13 yards to tight end Danny Malone.

Florida State had the ball just three plays before Hull recovered another fumble and Jones ran twice for 18 and 36 yards to set up Murray's second score on a one-yard sweep. Felker's other TD pass was a 50-yard strike to wide receiver Bill Buckley. The final Mississippi State touchdown came on a 33-yard pass to Buckley from quarterback Mike Monaghan. Vic Nickels completed the winners' scoring with a 44-yard field goal. Quarterback Mark Orlando came off the bench to pass for both Florida State touchdowns to freshman wide receiver Mike Shumann.
