The wind howled so hard it bent the flag pole. Bain fell in torrents. And Hurricane Hoosier devested bulging Illinois by 20 to 0. It was a fitting final opener for this ancient Memorial Stadium, which will be vacated a'fter this season for the new ediface now nearing completion a half mile away. And a rough reception for Ray Eliot, revered Illini coach, who was making his final appearance in Bloomington before retiring to a position as assistant athletic director.

There will be many a game played on the new field. But years will pass before a contest as odd as this one will go into the books. Coach Phil Dickens definitely had the better ball club. It would have won in most any kind Sensational kicking by Majors and his tailback understudy, Gene Etter, kept Auburn backed up in its end of the field most of the game. Between them, the little Vol backs averaged 45.1 yards on eight punts.

A short ttme before Letner hit the uprights, he had missed one from the Auburn 7. This try came after Sadler grabbed one of four Tiger passes the Vols intercepted.

again. This time the ball slipped off the tide of his foot and got nowhere. Again Then came another of those Illini bobbles on the 24. This time Willie Hunter curled himself around it and nine plays later accompanied it far around right end to a touchdown. The quarter ended there and Hoosier followers were just beginning to get accustomed to this new rich feeling when luck piled on luck.

Illinois fumbled again and once more an alert Hoosier Don Cromer fell on it on the visitors 27. This was too easy. The crowd forgot the rain, almost. They peeked out from under their umbrellas and cried for another touchdown. It didn't come that time.

But later. Wiper Service New Deal The Illinois boys were better The Associated Press Knoxville, Sept. 26. Tennessee stunned Auburn, the nation's third-ranking team, by 3-0 Saturday and snapped college football's longest unbeaten streak at 24 games. A 20-yard field goal by end Cotton Letner provided the Vols' margin of victory before a sun-splashed crowd of 40,500.

Tennessee, outweighed about 20 pounds per man, put up such a stubborn defense that the favored Tigers were never able to penetrate the Vol 20. Late Threat Stopped In fact, Auburn got to the 20 only once and that threat was halted by safetyman Bill Majors' pass interception one of two Majors made at vital stages of the bruising battle. Another interception by Vol fullback Neyle Sollee on Tennessee's 19 halted Auburn's only other real scoring threat in the dying moments. The Vols ran out the clock. Tennessee's drive for its game-winning field goal came midway of the second period after linebacker Ken Sadler recovered halfback Jimmy Pet-tus fumble on the Auburn 44.

After two short line gains, Majors faked a pass and sprinted 21 to the Tiger 24. Two plays later, Majors passed nine yards to end Mike La Sorsa on the 9. Auburn stiffened and held on its 3. Letner Baseball Calendar Standing Of The Teams of weather. But only on a dank day like Saturday could Illinois have made so certain that success would crown Indiana's efforts.

Illinois fumbled every time it got the ball in the first half and Ho osiers whirled in like hurricanes to grab the ball and rock it goal-ward. Twice Indiana scored in that half. And they applied a clincher for good Ray Eliot prepared for the days conditions in the second half. They came out with a long towel tied to the back of the center, with a spare on the backside of each guard. With this strategic help they pushed goalward, fumbling only twice, and recovering both times.

They made one mistake. They tried a slow pass. I. Fred Lauar snagged it on I. 25 and ran it out to the 33.

Mr. Faison Illinois got to the 17 near the close of the quarter. But on fourth and seven Mel Meyers shot the ball out on pass. It found its mark, but Hoosier tacklers hit the same mark. The ball bounced into the air.

Earl Faison grabbed it on the run and ripped out to the 22 before going down under a soggy pile. Another Fumble Wetter And Wetter The rain increased as the game progressed. Towels got muddy and were replaced. New ones kept coming in like subs, but didn't help. Illinois pushed to measure in the fourth also after a fumble and intercepted pass.

Quick Recovery Good Start The game got away to a wet and crazy start, but a good one for the fired-up Hoosiers. One of the backs misjudged the kickoff in a driving rain and let the slippery ball slide through his hands. Capt. Ted Smith grabbed it up on the 17 and galloped through the unsettled Illini 51 yards to the Illinois 32. Ten plays later the Owensboro battler dug through right tackle for a touchdown.

Then came another unusual play. Ron Miller made the extra-point kick, only to have it called back on a penalty. The officials placed the ball down on the 18. The teams lined up again and Ron booted from the 25 and made the point just as easily as he had the first time. This was gsing to be an opener to remember.

The score came on a hoopla pass involving three of the five Sooner regulars stricken two days ago with food poisoning.
