Campbell said that acti-tiii umrr piayers thn- It was quiet in Arizona's dressing room but the players still thought they had turned in a good game. The feeling was they had not been able to capitalize on their breaks as well as Auburn. PUNTER JOHN Ray said, "The wind was a factor. It broke our back." But Mudra said "The wind was a factor but they (Auburn) were able to complete passes against it" Auburn's defensive captain Mike Kolen led two "War Eagle" cries as he entered the dressing room.

Auburn's first quarter touchdown came with 17 seconds remaining in the period when tailback Mickey Zofko took a Carter pass for a 65-yard scoring play, "WE WERE too anxious to get on the scoreboard when we had the wind," Arizona coach Darrell Mudra said of the loss. He said his team's anxiety gave Auburn two "cheap" touchdowns when quarterback Traylor scored five plays after an Arizona fumble and McClinton's 32-yard pass interception touchdown within less than a minute of each other. "If we had stayed on the ground we would have been all right. We should have been more conservative in the second half." Four of Auburn's eight interceptions came in that second half. Auburn's coach Ralph Jordan, a veteran who coached his sixth bowl contest and third victory Saturday, said, "Arizona was as big and strong as any team we've played all year.

We might have had an edge i quickness." Jordan said, "the unpredictable wind hurt both teams. It kept us from establishing any kind of passing game that we could develop confidence in."

It was Lee's third interception of the day, as he gained most valuable player honors in the 34th annual Sun Bowl. Auburn throttled Arizona's passing attack, hauling in tight interceptions, while Arizona's pass defense showed serious lapses. The Tigers wasted little time as the final period started with quarterback Loran Carter hitting end Tim Christian who galloped into the end zone on a 43-yard scoring play, with less than a minute gone in the period.

After an exchange of in terceptions, Arizona had to punt from its own 17-yard line. Auburn got it on the 37 and kicker John Riley ended the scoring with a 41-yard field goal, his second of the day in five attempts. ARIZONA RALLIED in the second quarter to gain its 10-10 halftime tie. Lee hit end Hal Arnason with an 11-yard scoring pass 54 seconds before the first half ended. Earlier, Steve Hurley booted a 37-yard field goal for the Wildcats.

The passing game of both teams was hampered by 20-30 mile an hour winds which blew throughout the contest, making the 47-degree temperature chillier. Auburn reserve quarterback Tommy Tray lor sparked the Tigers' second half explosion as he ran four times in five plays, capping his brief performance with a nine-yard touchdown scamper with 3:15 remaining in the quarter.

Tricky Terry McMillan, lanky Missouri quarterback, directed the Tigers' newly-installed Power I offense that humbled the heralded Alabama defense before a crowd of 68,011 and pinned the worst bowl licking ever on the Crimson Tide. McMILLAN, A high school scrub at Coral Gables, scored three Tiger touchdowns on short runs and baffled Alabama throughout the nationally televised football battle with his deft times. Alabama, losing three games in a season for the first time since 1958, managed only three first downs in the first three quarters.

The Tide stayed in contention until the late minutes only with the help of its two pass interceptions and a pair of Tiger fumbles. BUT ROGER II I Missouri's All-American safety, clinched the Tigers' fourth straight bowl triumph with a late interception that set up McMillan's third touchdown, a two-yard run.

Frederick picked it up, running back into the end zone. Ht alluded several Arizona tacklers, ran back out of the end zone and proceeded to kick the ball again. Arizona's Ron Gardin took the ball about the 37-yard line and promptly was dropped. Confusion reigned among the official statiticians.

But he spent a frustrating afternoon here in historic Crampton Bowl. Marsalis, voted the game's outstanding defensive player, stole three of Cook's passes MONTGOMERY, Ala.

UP -A tough Gray defense stole the spotlight Saturday in what was billed as a battle of offenses, and the Grays defeated the Blues 28-7 in the 31st annual Blue-Gray Classic. Turning the first of four pass interceptions into a touchdown early in the first quarter, the Grays took a 7-0 lead with less than four minutes played in the ball game and the Blues never caught up. With Jim Marsalis of Tennessee State supplying the spark, the Gray defense put the route to the nation's collegiate offensive leader, Greg Cook of Cincinnati. Edd Bargett of Texas and Sim Byrd, a hometown boy from Troy State shared the quraterback honors for the Grays. But it was flashy Dicky Lyons of Kentucky who won the vote as the game's outstanding player.

Lyons' returned a punt for 45 yards and a touchdown in the second quarter and caught a three-yard pass from Byrd for a score in the fourth to lead the Gray attempt. A crowd of 18.000 watched the game viewed by a national television audience. The Blues have won 13 and there has never been a tie. Rich Johnson of Illinois scored the Blues' only touchdown in the fourth qurter and that cut the margin to 13-7. But the Grays came right back on a 74-yard touchdown drive capped by the touchdown pass to Lyons, and then Hargett hit Paul Gipson for a two-pointer to maintain Gray control.

Byrd scored from one yard out with less than three minutes remaining to cap the scoring.
