(AP Wirephoto). LSU Tames Mississippi State in Thriller, 14-6 By CHARLES LENOX BATON ROUGE, Earl Gros choked off a Mississippi State drive with a key interception in the fourth quarter here Saturday night to lead LSU to a hard-fought 14-6 victory. State had played the Tigers to a standstill throughout the first three quarters, except for the Tigers' lone score which came on a 69-yard drive.

Lynn Amedee lead the Tigers to their third-period score with two key passes. Amedee hit halfback Bo Campbell with a 15- aerial to give LSU a big first clown at the State 38. He then back with a nine-yard aerial to end Bill Traux and later hit halfback Ray Wilkins for three. Wilkins dove over from one- yard out with 3:39 left in the third quarter. Wendell Harris added what proved to be a big extra point.

State wasn't through as the Maroons took the kickoff and in 10 plays had drive 67 yards for a score. Quarterback Billy Hill, who sparked the Maroon attack, connected with end John Baker for an 11-yard scoring play. The Maroons elected to gamble for two, but Hill's pass to Sonny Fishi er was short. The Tigers sputted in the fourth quarter as LSU relinquished the ball three times. The final time before Gros' big interception being on a Jerry Stovall fumble at the LSU 45.

The fumble seemed to add new spark to the Maroons and they quickly moved to a first down at the LSU 31. But on the next- play, Gros pilfered quarterback Charley Furlow's pass and returned it to the LSU 49. Oilers, Titans Meet in AFL By The Associated Press Houston's driving Oilers, winners of four games in a row, try to protect their slender lead in the Eastern Division of the American Football League Sunday. It could be lough because they meet the New York Titans, who have designs on themselves. the championship Bull Ignites Baylor Victory Over Air Force WACO, Tex.

(AP) Halfback- Ronnie Bull ignited the fuse under Baylor's fizzling Bears and the Golden Bruins exploded for a decisive 31-7 victory over the Air Force Academy in an intersectional football game Saturday. The Bears, unbeaten in non- league warfare but a four-time loser in the Southwest Conference, uncorked a sparkling offensive attack headed by Bull but bolstered by a trio of slippery backs. Bull slammed through the faltering Falcon defense for 8 yards and one touchdown, took a 28-yard pass from Don Trull for another and then saw a great 75- yard TD romp wiped out by a holding penalty. was a bleak, chilly day for the Cadets, who were plagued by fumbles and pass interceptions en route to their fifth setback against three victories.

Rattlers Smother Southern by 46-0 TALLAHASSEE. Florida turned loose a powerhouse ground attack to thrash Southern University of Bat- ftn Rouge 46-0 Saturday. The win was sweet revenge for the undefeated who saw streak snapped a 16-game by The Oilers and Titans clash at Houston with only a half-game separating them in the standings. While Houston and New York are having it out in Texas, San Diego relaxed after sewing up the Western Division championship with four games to be hosting Dallas, losers of five straight. Buffalo will be at Denver in a so-what game.

The Eastern Division still is as (angled as a banged up accordion. Buffalo, the last-place club, still is in the race. The Bills, who put the finishing touches to Dallas' hopes with a 30-20 victory last week, are only two games away from first place. Houston's George Blanda and Jacky Lee combine their talents as the best one-two quarterback punch in the league. They have made Houston the top passing team, whereas New York, with old Al Dorow still chunking them, is well down the list.

Houston also is well ahead of New York in rushing. San Diego, noted for its defense, especially against passing, hardly figures lo worry about Dallas. Bobcats and Gators Gain LCRC Titles The LaGrange Gators and the Henry Heights Bobcats won LCRC junior high and midget titles respectively, Saturday night at Henry Heights. The Gators rallied for a fourth- period touchdown to edge the FK White Bulldogs, 6-0.

The Bobcats upset the straightaway champions, Oak Park Kagles, H-0, behind the hard running of Don LeGros to capture (he ten-year-old crown. LeGros acored on gallops of 55 and 30 yards to spark coach Tyla Fontenot's eleven. Ken Verrelt was outstanding on defense for (he Bulldogs, while Mike Clayton and Noble Hinton carried the White offense.

Gros took it over two plays later from the one-yard line and Harris converted to assure the Tigers' victory. The first half was a see-saw tf 0 is affair with the Tigers generally getting the best of the yardage, but failing to sustain a drive.

The Maroons couldn't crack the tough LSU defense although they had a key break at the beginning of the second quarter. LSU tried a quick kick on their own 30-yard line which was blocked by tackle Howard Benton and was recovered by Robert Shaw on the LSU 32. State moved to the Tiger 26 but Hill lost 11 trying to pass and on fourth down, Sammy Denton's attempt at a 42-yard field goal was short and wide. Hill was perhaps one of the outstanding football players the Tigers have had to face this year. He carried the ball 15 times and rolled up 81 yards and also completed 7 of 14 passing attempts for an additional 72 yards.

Gros was the big Tiger offensive star as he totaled 108 yards in 14 carries. Campbell was another key in the LSU offense, that rolled up 257 yards on the ground, as he gained 61 yards in 10 carries.
