A VANDY I i ir ir ik Militarize Army 38 Drive Halted One Foot Out By JOHN BIBB A DETERMINED goal line stand in the fading minutes lifted Tulane to a 13-12 victory over Vanderbilt last night as the Commodores sustained their most frustrating loss of the campaign at Dudley Field. The Greenies, their offense as potent as pre throw to Dalton, but once more came right back with a completion to the Goodletts-ville, Tenn, boy that was good for 24 yards and a touchdown on the seventh play of the fourth period. That ended Warren's appearances on the field for the day. The Vols, piling up a roas- dicted, stopped two Vandy in Tennessee history, connected on 18 of 25 for 250 yards yesterday and missed by one the school record he already holds for completions in a single game only because he sat out the last two offensive series by the Vols. It was the first game in which the Vols have used extensively the blinding cpeed of both Johnny Mills and Richmond Flowers at the same time to augment their air attack and Warren said he simply does not believe anybody in college football can cover them both.

Mills, off the ailing list after missing last week's game against South Carolina, hauled in five of Dewey's aerials for 85 yards, giving him 25 receptions for the year. Flowers, for the second straight week, caught six, picking up 54 yards. Austin Denney grabbed three, Terry Dalton two, and one for the only touchdown pass of the day; and Charlie Fulton and Walter Chadwick one each.

Florida, now 7-0 on the season, went ahead in the first minute but couldn't contain Auburn's long kickoff returns. mem Bob Mauriello, starting at fullback in place of the slightly hurt Richard Pickens, got involved in a collision with Fulton, fumbled the ball, and in trying to twist away at the Tennessee 14, suffered a knee injury that kept him out of action the rest of the day.

SPURRIER drove the Gators from the Florida 25 to the Auburn 20 with his passes and then kicked the winning field goal with 2:12 left to play. Each team scored the first time it got the ball. Spurrier completed 27 of 40 passes for 259 yards, short of the record 289 yards he set against Auburn last year when the Tigers upset Florida. BUT THE Gators added a running attack yesterday, paced by sophomore Larry Smith and drilled huge holes in Auburn's defenses. Spurrier passed for one touchdown and sneaked a yard for another.

Despite the kickoff mlxup, Tennessee moved the ball (Turn to Page 5) i up the other two on short plunges by fullback Graham McKeel and Smith.

Florida moved 13, 73, 69 and 72 yards for touchdowns. THE FIRST came easily when Auburn's Dwight Hur-ston fumbled the opening kick-off. Spurrier tossed 10 yards to Richard Trapp in the end zone on the third play. But Auburn came right back with an 89-yard kickoff return by fullback Larry Ellis and the pattern of the game was set. AUBURN turned another good kickoff return, this one by wingback Freddie Hyatt, into a drive that brought a field goal by Jimmy Jones just before halftime and gave the Tigers a 17-13 lead.

The Tigers got their second touchdown when linebacker Gusty Yearout stole the ball from Florida's Tom Christian and ran 91 yards behind a wall of blockers that formed along the left sideline so quickly it seemed Auburn had practiced this freak play all week. Florida went ahead twice In produced enough points to distort the contest. "We were very fortunate to come out of this with victory," said John aught after paying tribute to Charlie McClendon and the way the underdog Tigers carried the fight to the Rebels. LSU so dominated play in the first half that the Rebels were able to make only two first downs, still they had 10 points on the scoreboard at intermission They were across the midfield stripe only twice in the first 30 minutes The first was on Bruce Newell's short toss to Bobby Wade who turned it into a 75-yard touchdown production The other occasion was when Doug Cunningham returned a punt 34 yards shortly before the end of the first quarter to set up the field goal. THE CRIPPLED TIGERS came up with their first performance of the season even if they failed runners on succesive downs when the goal line was less than a yard away.

The dramatic stand capped one of the finest Vanderbilt-Tulane games in years and came with approximately 4:30 remaining. The crowd of 12,614, smallest of the year at Vandy, howled protests when the official ruled that neither Roger May, Commodore quarterback, nor Jim Whiteside, fullback, penetrated the end zone on back-to-back rams from the vicinity of the one. "IT'S VERY simple," waa Commodore coach Jack Green's post-game appraisal. "We had the game if we could move the football a yard in two tries. We didn't and we lost" "We were real fortunate to come out of this one alive.

Vanderbilt was well-prepared and very aggressive. Our defense played great," was Tulane coach Jim Pittman'a comment.

The 215-pound Pontius, a junior from Oklahoma City, had missed his first effort after Tulane tied the count 6-6. It was Pontius first miss In 15 tries.

VANDERBILT'S klckr, Fred Klaass, missed the extra point try after the Commodores took a 6-0 lead In the first period, and when Vandy went on top shortly before halftime, 12-6, on Chip Healy's pass interception return, the decision was made to try for two points. The attempt was a pas from May to Chuck Boyd. It was broken up by Dennia Krauss In the end zone, and as It turned out, this play was one of the more Important ones of the battle. A successful two-pointer would have won for the Commodores. "Certainly, we thought of kicking the extra," Green said in discussing the play.

"At the time, we had Just missed on the other end of the field on a kick with the wind. Had we kicked and made it, it would have been a tie. Had we made the two-pointer we would have won." KLAASS, who kicked three extras and a field goal against The Citadel in the opener, had missed two PATs (Virginia Tech and Alabama) before kicking to the right of the goal post last night, after Vandy's first score. A northerly wind register, ing 13 to 15 miles per hour was a definite factor in last night's game. Vandy had the wind in the first and fourth periods and got away to a lead when punter Alex MacLean booted a 50-yarder to the Tulane 11.

On the play, the Greenies were penalized for delay of game when one Tulane player signaled for a fair catch (Turn to Page 3) in Staff colorphoto by Jimmy EUt GAINESVILLE, FJai.

The Tigers chose to go for one point and tied the score at 27-27 with Jones' kick. But Spurrier, who has driven Florida to last-minute victories before, wouldn't be stopped. He was called for intentional grounding that moved the Gators back to A burn 39 after getting within 20 yards of the goal.

Spurrier then stepped up and his field goal kick traveled straight and sure.

LSU outplayed the Rebs much of the game, but could not come up with the big plays when necessary. Twice LSU fumbled deep in Rebel territory to thwart scoring drives.

OLE MISS' Chuck Norman kept LSU bottled up deep in its own territory with booming, arching punts, and the Tigers were forced to start again and again with the ball backed up deep against their own goal line. The loss ended any hopes LSU had remaining in the SEC title race. The Tigers are now 1-2 in conference play and 3-3-1 overall. Ole Miss, which has already lost to Alabama and Georgia, is 2-2 in the conference and 5-2 overall after winning three straight. Newell, an Ole Miss passing find, hit Wade 10 yards out in the flat and the chunky fullback sprinted 65 yards down the sidelines untouched, playing zig-zag with LSU corner-back Gerry Kent the last 30 yards.

OLE MISS led 7-0 with 5:29 left in the period. After the kickoff Ole Miss rolled LSU back to its own 11 yard line and Mitch Worley's punt out of the end zone was returned 23 yards bv Doug Cunningham to LSU's 20. The Tigers stiffened and Keyes booted his 35-yard field goal with 48 seconds still left in the first quarter. And after Intermission, Ole Miss again spent most of the half defensing against the Tigers. LSU LOST fumbles on the Ole Miss 6 yard line and on touchdown.

"This is as good an effort as we have had all year," commented McClendon from the gloomy cavern under the Tiger stadium. "They were as aggressive as any LSU team has been, and but for two plays, we defended them as well as anyone could. (The two plays were Newell's passes to Wad and Hank Shows for the touchdowns.) "OUR KIDS ARE not downhearted. They know they played well. They didn't hold anything back.

They went all-out and I'm mighty proud of "We are a young team and we are going to make mistakes. Sometimes the opposition forces these mistakes, but this LSU team tonight was as courageous as any I've ever had." Aerial Duel Shocking to Fans Ole Miss took to the air only 10 times, equally divided in the first and second halves the Rebels had scored only once through the air this fall until this game, where both of their touchdowns resulted from Newell's passes. Shocking to the capacity crowd of more than 67,000 was the way the Tigers and Rebels came out throwing Four of LSU's first five plays were passes Until this game litt'e Fred Haynes had thrown only 41 times and had only 16 completions He threw 21 times last night with eight being caught for 116 yards Three others were dropped.
