The Crimson fide capitalized on blocked kicks and Tennessee fumbles as it rolled to its fifth victory without a loss. Both of A 1 a a a's touchdowns were scored after a hard-charging Tide line blocked two of Tennessee kicking specialist Ron Widby's punts. quarterback Steve Sloan plunged over from the 1 for the first and center Gaylon McCol-lough raced 22 yards for the second.

Tennessee's sophomore Art Galiffa played a tremendous game for the inspired Vols, connecting for seven of 17 passes for 78 yards and set up Tennessee's only touchdown. UNABLE TO MOVE Tennessee was unable to move the ball during the first half but came back fighting after intermission and coach Paul Bryant sent his ailing All-America Joe Namath in to help put out the fire. Alabama took a 3-0 lead on David Ray's 31-yard field goal with the game only minutes old. Tackle Ron Durby set it up when he recovered Tennessee wingback Jerry Smith's fumble on the Tennessee 28.

Southern Mississippi's arrtitions took the same sort of -tumble here Saturday afternoon that Kentucky's did i week earlier at Florida Stale, The Golden Giants from Hat-tiesburg came in undefeated and fresh fronn i victory over Memphis Stat-p, but that hardly impressed Mississippi State's Maroons who soundly thrashed Southern, 48-V. That was State's biggpst winning margin since 1950 when Arkansas State was mangled, 67-0 and the Maroons' biggest point total since a 49-14 rocking of thos same Arkies in 19m. The Maroons poured across three touchdowns in the first quarter before Southern could manage anything of consequence. glory And while that item happened to be a 100-yard kick-off return by Herman Nail, it did little tr ease the agony for the Southern supporters in the turnout of an estimated 19,000 on a right, sunny afternoon in Okti fcbeha county. That Brief moment of U.S.M.

glory was followed by four more State 'touchdowns, one in the second jeriod and a final three in the third before Maroon coac; Paul Davis was able to dig clown deeply enough into his reserves to find a combination -which couldn't add to that towering point total.

Billy Cook a regular two years ago 1-efore being felled by a knee injury which kept him out of action last season, scored on a three-yard burst, fullback Noel Brock powered in from 12 yards out and fullback Hoyle Granger rammed over from the three for the others.

Davis made a change from his normal platooning style by starting his best 11, rather than splitting the talent among of-fensive and defensive platoons, and as Paul said afterwards, the result was the Maroons "went after them." State needed nin plays to pound 91 yards the first time it had ball possession with Bland clearing the final two. The Maroons also scored the second time they got the ball with six plays needed to go 36 yards with Billy Cook providing the climax. And the third time, after a punt out of bounds on the State 42, Ashby Cook drilled Inman open at the Southern 25 and Tommy sprinted in to give State a 19-0 lead.

After that third State strike, Canale lofted a high kickoff that Nail gathered in at the goal line, came out edging to his right, then fired through a gap in the Maroon defense and had clear sailing the last 70 of his 10-yard touchdown dash, dash. H)CK COSTS The scoreboard clock, which misfunriioned in the first half, probably contributed to Southern's misery with apparently more than 15 minutes played, to judge by the 40-odd plays which were run during the period.

The victory, Ole Miss' first in three SEC starts and third in five games, did shove the Rebs ahead of the Greenies in the standing but not before Tulane underdog by 20 points, had most definitely won a moral if not scoreboard victory. For Tulane, it was loss No. Four in as many games and its intitial outing before a home crowd which showed decidedly more spirit than previous Green-ie fans.

Some 22,000 folks witnessed the thriller on a perfect night for play. UES AIRLANES Tulane, using the airlanes to perfect advantage, drove from its own 20 to the Ole Miss 18 early in the second period where Don Right booted a 35-yard field goal for a 3-0 Tulane lead, but the Rebs countered with a 50-yard march in seven plays with Mike Dennis going the final three off right tackle. Billy Carl Irwin added his first of two placements and Ole Miss led 7-3. A pass interception by Bobby Robinson just the half, at the 37, pave Ole Miss its second touchdown chance with Jim Weather-y passing the final two to Dave Wells for the score for a 14-3 Tulane lead. Stopped once inside the one and again at the 10 in the second half, the Rebs could never again get cranked up, while the Greenies drove 90 in 15 for its final score with Dave East passing the final 22 to Jerry Graves for the TD early in the fourth period.

A two-point conversion try was no good to end the scoring. LEADS RUSHING Dennis, with 73 yards in 16 tries, led Reb rushers while Frank Kinard had 20 in 7 and Wells 25 in five.
