Georgia's red-shirted Bulldogs rose from the ashes of a disappointing season rtre Saturday afternoon to derail Auburn's hopes for a bid to the Sugar Bowl, defeating the Plainsmen 17-0 on a second period field goal and two fourth quarter touchdowns.

(AP) -Oregon State overcame four fumble losses and scored twice in the last period Saturday to defeat Oregon 14-10 in a Pacific-8 football final game before 41,100. Beaver quarterback Steve Preece scored on a four-yard rollout with two minutes left.

Fullback Bill Enyart punched over from one yard with 8:53 left. Oregon had led on a 27-yard field goal by Marc Scholl in the first quarter and a fourth down touchdown run of one yard by halfback Claxton Welch in the third period. Oregon stopped two Oregon State driveS in the first half when linebacker Kent Grote recovered goal line fumbles by Preece and halfback Jerry Belcher. Grote halted another drive at midfield in the third quarter by recovering another Preece fumble. Defensive end Cam Molter blocked two Oregon State punts, and linebacker George Dames recovered another fumble.

Keyes-Led Purdue Wins, 21-7 Mocs Give Scrappy 7in 51-0 Farewell WW the old record of 22 set in By JIM DOZIER Star Sports Writer CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.

EVANS MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI) -Tailback Walter Chadwick ran for one touchdown and passed for another Saturday to lead second -ranked Tennessee to a 20 -7 victory over Mississippi, virtually assuring the Volunteers a spot in the Orange Bowl. Chadwick opened the scoring with a little more than 10 minutes remaining in the first half when he hit Terry Dalton on a 10 -yard halfback option pass. With a little more than a minute remaining, Chadwick romped in from nine yards out. Soccer -style kicker Karl Kremser added both conversions for the Vols and picked up six points on his own hand, ended the season with a 7-3-0 mark for the third time since Moore took over back in 1927.

The Mocs were also 7-3-0 in 1964. The victory was Chattanooga's 14th over Jacksonville State since the two schools started playing back in 1924. A few bright marks on the Jacksonville side were Ihree school records, one of them by Terry Harris, who set a career record for pass receptions of 769 yards. A record was also set for the most interceptions, 23, which broke 1949. And also 45 passes were attempted, which broke the old mark of 42 set against Delta State.

Catarino, who ended the game with 98 yards rushing and 84 passing, guided the Mocs in four TDs in the first quarter of play to give the Mocs the surge that carried throughout the game. Dunn, a swift senior from Columbus, gained 122 yards rushing while Wolford was another big yard gainer (See Jax On Page 6C) MITCHELL Kenny Stabler and Dennis Homan, which sparked the Tide on to the shutout win over the visiting Gamecocks from South Carolina. That scoring bomb, midway through the second quarter, gave Homan his 50th reception of the year and his ninth touchdown pass from Stabler this season: both set new-records for Bama. And every pass Homan catches from now on will set a new receiving record for the Crimson Tide. And while the Tide defense may have jelled into the team it was deemed to have been at the beginning of the '67 season, it was the Tide ground work which continued from last week's win over LSU, that provided the fortunes for the "Big Red's" 17-0 victory, that really doesn't do the Tide's performance justice.

Alabama's of fensive machine combined to give the Tide 390 yards total offense. Stabler accounted for 121 of those yards hitting on nine of 17 passes; while Ed Morgan, David Chatwood, Gene Raburne, Tommy Wade, and Joe Kelley attributed the other 269 yards on the ground. The Tide defensive unit put the pressure on all afternoon, allowing the Gamecocks only 97 yards rushing and 78 passing. And held South Carolina's Atlantic Coast rushing leader, quarterback Mike Fair, to only five pass completions out of 21 attempts. Alabama's first score came four minutes and 24 seconds deep into the second quarter, on a 23 yard field goal by Steve three-pointer came after Donnie Sutton received a Gamecock punt on the Bama 25 and returned it to the 40.

The Tide, drove to the South Carolina six yard line behind the- passing of Stabler and the running of Tommy Wade. The Gamecocks dug in and held the Tide to fourth down and goal to go at the six, and Davis came in and promptly put the Tide ahead 3-0. Five plays following the kickoff, Alabama forced a Gamecock punt with fourth and seven at the Carolina 22. Sutton received the punt at the Bama 40 and brought it out to the Carolina 49 yard (See Bama On Page 6C) hearted defense led Linebacker Happy Dicks and Defensive Tackle Jimmy Smaha, shut out the league's number one scoring machiae en route to its sixth triumph against three losses. An overflow crowd of 59,060 paid, watched the gigantic struggle in windy, nippy but sunny 57-degree temperatures, and when it was all over the question of just who was headed for New Orleans on Jan.

1 was even more puzzling than before the kickoff Georgia's victory, however, did vault the Bulldogs back Into the Sugar Bowl picture along with Florida ana Miami. A 30-yard punt return by Georgia's Jake Scott, a 191-pound sophomore out of Arlington, midway of the second period carried to the Auburn 20 and set the stage for another sophomore, Jim McCullough, to kick a 38-yard field goal for the Bulldogs' 3-0 halftime lead. That was all the Bulldogs needed, but Kirby Moore, a senior oat of Dothas, whom Dooley once tried to get in Auburn guided" Georgia on scoring drives of 96 and 64 yards through the lengthening shadows of Sanford Stadium in the fourth quarter, to make it an impressive 17-0. The k2y to Auburn's loss can be traced directly to two trial Stout Gflflrgitt defense and the inability of Loren Carter, Auburn's starting quarterback, penetrate that defense. Carter went into the game leading the SEC in passing and in total offense, but against the Bulldogs he was something less than effective.

For the day Carter could manage jusl four completions out of 20 attempts for a measly 59 yards. And Auburn's ground game was even worse, gaining just eight yards rushing, net with Al Giffin's 12 yards on 7 trips being the best indiv'dual mark. Meanwhile, Georgia was grinding out 255 on the ground with Halfback Kent Lawrence (See Tigera On Page 4C) LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) -Purdue's Leroy Keyes, national scoring leader, caught a pass for one touchdown and threw for another Saturday in a 21-7 football victory over once mighty Michigan State. The twisting, turning Purdue halfback picked up 193 yards on the ground in 24 car- with field goals of 42 and 30 yards.

Ole Miss put its only tally on the scoreboard with 7:25 left in the third period after sophomore quarterback Terry Collier relieved senior Bruce Newell. The score came when the Rebels Tommy James intercepted a Dewey Warren pass on the Tennessee 41. Five plays later fullback Bobby Wade plunged in from the one. The victory was Tennessee's first over the Rebels in eight years. It virtually assured the Vols a bid to the rich Orange Bowl in Miami New Years Day, and left only weakened Kentucky and Vanderbilt in the way of Tennessee's first Southeastern Conference title since 1956.

Two consecutive Mississippi fumbles with a little more than two minutes remaining in the first half gave Tennessee the opportunity for a second ixpointer and a Kremser field goal, sending the Vols to the dressing room elated by a 17-0 halftime lead. The two clubs played through a scoreless first quarter, exchanging punts, as neither was able to mount a sustained drive. While Chadwick drew the headlines with his scoring, little Charley Fulton, a hometown boy, was responsible for the ground -eating yards that led to Tennessee's first score. Fulton picked up a total of 30 yards in three plays as the Vols rolled from their own 44 to the Ole Miss 10 in eight plays, Southern Cal Wins, 21-20 In Beban-Simpson Match DOZIER here Saturday afternoon in the form of a 51-0 victory over Jacksonville State University.

The game turned into a classic duel between rival Heisman Trophy candidates Gary Beban of UCLA and Simpson that delighted a crowd of 90,772 in Memorial Coliseum andwas viewed by millions more on national television.

Beban passed for two touchdowns and Simpson ran for two scores to make their duel virtually a standoff. But the key play came after four minutes in the fourth period when Simpson broke loose down the north sidelines, was forced to the middle of the field and then outran the UCLA defenders on his scoring jaunt. The key touchdown and conversion came lightly more than one minute after Beban threw a 20-yard scoring pass to Dave Nuttall but Zenon Andrusyshyn missed the extra point kick to leave UCLA ahead 20-14.
