That one, for currently ranked number two Alabama, could be for a national championship if there are no mishaps along the way. For sure Saturday night, here in Jackson, there were none. By GEORGE SMITH SUr Sports Editor JACKSON, Miss. It is a time of plenty in all the land.

It was worth the $7.00 price of a big-league ticket just to watch super, super tailback Boyce Callahan run the football. Not one of the fans present here after watching his latest perfor-. mance can say this 162-pounder isn't big league. Callahan set precedent in college football for Jax State, and probably for the whole state and south for that matter, by gaining his career yard rushing'.

He ended up the afternoon gaining 209 yards on 15 carries and scoring two touchdowns. The clincher came early in the fourth quarter when he gained 25 yards on his last carry. When the announcement was made over ttie PA, a minute-plus standing ovation followed from fans, players and coaches. It was very moving. In addition, he broke a record dating back to 1954 for best average per carry in one game with 13.9, originally held by Al Woodham with 12.0.

Now it is 8-0-0 with Miami, LSU and Auburn left on the regular schedule and, according to everybody this side of Ji Star Pnoto oy Ktn Elkmt Here's the man they cheered at Jax Saturday Boyce Callahan Auburn offense of takes a day Gators set an old nemesis as Tigers display no punch By WAYNE HESTER Assistant Sports Editor AUBURN People come to Auburn expecting to see (a) just a little bit of offense, or (b) no offense at all. Saturday they saw no offense at all. Mt solutely nothing. Florida beat Auburn, 12-8, and it was the first time the Gators had won a football game here. Yep, the first time since the stadium was built in 1939 lhat.FJorida has won in Auburn.

W- 1 Auburn offense was, well, it was pitiful. The Tigers scored their only touchdown and a two-point conversion with no time showing on the clock after Florida fumbled at its own 11 with 43 seconds to play. For the evening, Auburn day, pulled a few strings for this one like starting sophomore Don Gaffney at quarterback, a 6-0, 162-pound black out of Gainesville. Gaffney went all the way, completed six of 10 passes and rushed for 22 yards. The youngster boldly rubbed it in when he suggested after the game, "Maybe Auburn should have practiced Monday instead of taking the day off." Gaffney also said "our defense was better than Auburn's." Saturday, in front of a sellout crowd of was Auburn's poorest offensive showing of the season, by a mile, and' that's poor.

Freshman quarterback Chris Vacarella had minus 32 yards rushing, and completed only four of 13 passes (no interceptions) before Randy Walls came on at 10:12 of the fourth period, making his first appearance since the Tennessee game. Walls finished the day with minus 20 yards rushing and two-out-of -eight passing for 12 yards. Fullback Harry. Ward, a 5-11; 190-p6ttnd junior out of Montgomery, was Auburn's top runner with all of 31' yards on four carries. Freshman Sullivan Walker had 25 yards on four runs, junior Chris Linderman had 22 yards" oh 10 trips, Rusty Fuller 11 on four, and frosh Seedrick Mclntyre, playing briefly for the first time since the Oregan State game, ran once for three yards.

Vince Kendrick, a 6-3, 220-pound senior from Miami, was perhaps the outstanding performer of the game, rushing for 11? 23 carries and scoring Florida's second touchdown. Florida's first score, coming at 11 11 of the second period, was a 69-yard march in five plays, and Kendrick started rone noise when (See Auburn Page 9C) siruggieu iv iii yams wuu i offense, 54 yards rushing1 and r.

"65 through the HESTER There were curt remarks spreading through the stadium, such as "The Peach Bowl came to scout Auburn but left at the half," and "Anf urn's going to the Tangerine Bowl to, play Richmond," and "Auburn don't want no part of Richmond." Another dull offensive showing like day and Auburn's only "bowl" opportunity may be the Iron in Legion Field on Dec. 1, although the Liberty and Peach insist they want the Tigers, even after Saturday's loss. While it was a bitter, bitter defeat for Shug Jordan's Tigers, it was a golden win for Doug Dickey's Gators.
