Sports Editor, The Star JNOXVILLE, ahead for Auburn's Tigers the' rest of the way in 1965? The 13-13 tie here with heavily favored Tennessee kept the Tigers from being 0-2, but there wasn't a heck of a lot to cheer about as the Plainsmen turn toward a home date this coming Saturday against Kentucky. There's nothing wrong with the Auburn defensive line. When you hold anyone to 78 yards on 54 running plays you're in business; and that's exactly what Auburn did here Saturday to the Vols.

And that young secondary of Bobby Beaird, Franklin Fuller, and Jimmy Carter showed improvement, although Vol Quarterback Charley Fulton, just an 18-year-old soph, did get some big yardage there when needed. v- Offensively is where Auburn must improve if the Plainsmen are to stay and look Kentucky," Georgia Tech; Florida, Mississippi State, Georgia, and Alabama in the eye. Ralph (Shug) Jordan, who could be saddled with his weakest Auburn team since the middle or early fifties, did see a glimmer of hope with the Tiger offense, however. 'Offense Grows Up "I think our young offense grew up a bit here today," said a still disappointed Jordan in the Auburn dressing room. "The line did a tremendous job of pass protection in the second half and, in general, our whole offensive unit looked better in the second half than it has looked all year.

The Auburn Plainsmen rode out of the lengthening shadows of Neyland Stadium Saturday afternoon for a fourth quarter touchdown and a 13-13 tie with the Volunteers of Tennessee, a team favored by points going into this Southeastern Conference battle before 43,614 fans on a sunsplash-ed afternoon.

"I thought both our quarterbacks (Tom Bryan and Alex I Bowden) showed improvement.

However, we've still got a long "way to go to have a potent offense. "Naturally we are disappointed because we didn't win the game. We certainly had our opportunities. Fumbling after a pass reception at the three-yard line was a definite turning 1 point as far as I'm concerned. 'However, I am proud of our second half comeback.

"Jack Thornton played a tremendous game at tackle for us and. his two pass interceptions set up all our points. Also, on Tthe defensive unit, I thought Bogue Miller, Charles Collins, John McAfee and Franklin Fuller did an outstanding job. Our second touchdown," added Jordan, "was a special play we had put in just for Tennessee. The last time we ran it was against 1 Georgia Tech when we scored in 1961." Dickey Has Less To Say I Across the way an equally disappointed Doug Dickey, head I Tennessee coach, had less to say.

The Vol offense, just as Auburn's had, failed in critical situations. "The first two teams we played this season (the Vols defeated Army 21-0 here last week) gave us tough football games. Of course, it came as no surprise that Auburn would give us a rough game, because they're tough any time you play them. "Our offense showed considerable life, but still lacked a lot Tin critical situations. We make mistakes that cost us the vic-l tory when we have the ability and opportunity to win.

"On the last Interception, the one which led to Auburn's second score, I told Fulton to throw to the end because hefhad been open the previous time. But the tackle, that Thornton fellow, made a fine interception. "It was his second interception of the game and climaxed I a great afternoon for him. Fulton played a fine game, threw the ball well, and scored his touchdown on a real fine run," I ended Dickey. And what it all meant, for both sides, is that neither team at the moment, is going to scare any of the Southeastern Con- ference heavyweights.

Big improvement is needed by both first. NC Upsets Favored Buckeyes COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) Plucky North Carolina shot Ohio State with a touchdown the first time it got the ball and added another score with 56 se conds to play in an upset 14-3 vklory today over the favored Buckeyes. The Tar Heels, two touch down underdogs, stopped every Ohio State threat but one, and four times stopped Buckeye marchers deep in their own territory. Quarterback Danny Talbott scored first, running five yards on a keeper play within the first five minutes of play, and teammate Max Chapman raced 48 yards with less than a minute remaining for the other score. A crowd of 80,182 watched in awe as the Tar Heels evened their record 1-1 in handing Ohio State a surprise defeat in the Buckeye opener.

Place kicker Bob Funk accounted for the only Ohio State snore with a 26-yard field goal with 8 seconds elapsed in the second period. It was the third consecutive game, dating back into the 1964 season, that Ohio State was held without scoring a toucnaown. i North Carolina struck taking over on Ohio State's 49 afler a short punt rolled dead. Halfback Chapman set up the score with a 22-yard smash to the Buckeye five before Talbott ran untouched into the end zone. Tamott kicKea tne exira point and the Tar Heels held a 7-0 margin.

Early in the second period, a 76-yard drive by Ohio State fiz zled on the North Carolina nine and Funk was called in to kick the field goal. Chapman, a 205-pound senior from Banner Elk, N. C. electrified the huge crowd in the wan ing moments when he went over the middle, cut to the side and ran 48 yards for the final score. Talbott again converted.

North Carolina then wrapped it up with Chapman's long scoring run. running combination of Hoyle Grairger and Rhoden Steve Spurrier moved Florida in spurts and took the Gators to Mississippi State's 12 and to the 30 in the closing minutes only to watch passes tip off the fin gertips of receivers.

Mississippi State not only tied the 'score at 6-6 in a hurry, but took life out of the Gators. It was a close game the rest of the way.

Spurrier drove Florida 11 yards in the air and gained 28 by himself on the ground, yet his big passes just missed.
