(AD Mississippi Quarterback Jimmy Lear pitched a 42-yard fourth period pass yesterday to upset mighty third-rankinp Marvland. It took the jittery Mississippians four tries to break the deadlock and piish over the game winning touchdown. The partisan fans stood screaming and yelling for a full 10 minutes after the game and presented a frionzied demonstration. After the lines of both Maryland and Mississippi clogged the opposing backs most of the first period, the Terps got moving on the bruising running of Halfbacks diet Hanulak and Sophomore Leland Liebold.

Scarbath. doing his neat job behind the center, failed to find his passing range. Hanulak bounced over the last four yards for Maryland's first score on the first play of the second period after a scoreless first quarter. Pon Decker converted. That started a dizzy chain reaction of offensive power.

Mississippi stormed 83 yards on mixed running by Mississippi is unbeaten but has been tied by Vanderbilt and Kentucky. Lear's story book heave to End Bud Slay, to the Maryland four-yard line set up the winning touchdown that Halfback Wilson Dillard rammed over two plays later from the three-yard line. Lear's passing and the ferocious work of the Mississippi line stunned the nation's No. 3 football team into submission, and brought the Terps' first loss since Oct. 1, and 21 games.

For the entire second half, Mississippi's keyed up offense dominated the play and knocked on the goal line three times before the last payoff punch carried over. The game was a crushing ding-dong battle for the full GO minutes but the hero of the day was the Mississippi line that bottled up All-America Candidate Jack Scarbath and held that pass-master to only two completed throws. i -1 and to send the twice-tied Ole Miss Rebels into New Orleans' Sujrar bowl.

But Tech had the ball and Dave Davis boomed a kick out of there after a couple of running plays and Tech was out of trouble to stay until late in the ond period touchdown tiat overcame Alabama's 3 to 0 lead and from there on things were left strictly up to the defensive unit. As it has done all season, the George Morris-led crew did its job manfully and efficiently. Immediately after Bobby Luna had kicked a 25-yard field fjoal midway the first quarter to put the Tide in front, Tech's Billy Teas fumbled end Ralph Carrican recovered at the Tech 21.

Zipping inside one tackle and then the other more like bees than elephants, Bobby Marlow, Tommy Lewis and Corky Tharp, three of the nation's finest running backs who carry the Tide's offense, drove in three plays to the three-yard line. There seemed no stopping the red-shirted boys from the Capstone. And at this point, a pound senior, burst, through VandVs line on a third down By F. M. WILLIAMS TENNESSEAN Sports Writer (1 RANT FIELD, Atlanta, Ga.

Two magnificient goal line stands by a brilliant Georgia Tech defensive platoon covered up a world of sin committed by the Jacket offensive men and led the nation's No. 2 ranked eleven to a 7 to 3 victory over a vastly under rated Alabama Crimson Tide before 40,000 fans here yesterday afternoon. As millions of fans across the nation watched on television, Tech's offense, minus its top operator, Leon Hardeman, who didn't evfn dress because of a leg injury, spit and sputtered worse than a T-model Ford on one cylinder. But like the champions they are, the Jackets managed to muster enough power for a sec and one situation and galloped 75 fourth quarter when Alabama mndo its next threat. The Jackets, who started the game with successive runs of 40 yards by Teas and 11 by Dick Pretz and looked as though they would run Alabama right out of the stadium as they did Duke in the other tough test they've faced this year, got a couple of breaks four series of downs later, and turned them into a victory that made it 23 in a row without defeat.

A tie by Duke last year is the only mar on Tech's record since Alabama won here in 1950. George Morris, an AIl-Ameri-can yesterday if football has ever produced an Ail-American, rut across from hi left linehanking position to slam Tharp to earth on the 28 yard line and then scrambled over to fall on the ball which he had jarred loose from Corky. Two runs by Teas got just four yards but here the Tide was taxed with the most punishing (Continued on Page 3) yards for a touchdown. The Commodores didn't seem to be expecting Bailey, for four plays earlier getting in the clear there was no one who could possibly outrun the fleet 195 pounder. Casares failod to convert and It remained 6 to 6.

The two teams continued to battle through the first period on even terms but on the third play of the second quarter the Vols scored another one. Drive Starts Late The drive had started late In the initial period when Casares kicked Clement, in a similar situation, punched through on a quarterback sneak for a first down. And Bailey was gone before the Commodores saw him, Don Gleisner, safetvman, finally hauling him out on Tennessees 36. Kozar (Continued on Page 3j.

The Rebels completely dominated the play They were stopped four times inside the five-yard line by the goal-line Maryland defense They had a first down pass intercepted on the goal line in the last 40 seconds of the first half which ended with the Ole Liners leading 14-7 even though they had been badly outplayed Lear, who was a brilliant quarterback in this game, fumbled on the four on fourth down needing a yard early in the third period A little later in the quarter he failed on a sneak on the four and again in the fourth heat from the same spot. Ole Miss Had Ball for 89 Offensive Plays Lear did such beautiful calling on other occasions that the Rebels had the ball for 89 offensive plays while Maryland was able to run only 47 The Ole Liner ground game was so well bottled up by the hard charging and alert Rebels that it produced only 95 yards Ole Miss, with Dick Lofton, Wilson Dillard and Lear sharing the ball Carrying about equally, rolled up 197 yards with its infantry.

Jack Scarbath Completed 2 Passes Against Rebels Scarbath, an All-American in most folks' book until he visited Oxford yesterday, was badly rushed by the line and the Rebel secondary, particularly Jack Reed, effectively covered the potential receivers so that he was able to complete only two of 13 passes lie had one intercepted by the speedy Reed in the last quarter that ended the last lingering" Ole (Continued on Page 3) i sy arm. kv whipped around right end for 14 yards.
