Billy Coleman to end Billy Lyons was the most effective weapon employed by Coach' Thad (Pie) Vann. Hi eft, By CARL WALTERS Clarion-Ledger Staff Writer The Ole Miss Rebels opened their southeastern conference campaign with a hard-earned, 14-0 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats at Memorial Stadium here last night before an audience of 42,000.

The Rebels were much the best and showed it just about every way except in piling up a big score. Fumbles, pass interceptions and penalties plus a determined defense by the invading Cats stymied all touchdown threats by the Rebs but two. However, there was hard- ly a misfire in his whole arsenal as Pie drew within a single game of the 100-victory mark by Southern during his 14-year reign head man. Southern spotted Southwestern the game opening kick-off. tnen proceeded to mangle the Bulldogs with no more mercy shown.

J'flISC From Vaught By ROBERT m.TON Sports Writer With armed f-'eds reportedly ready to add additional strife to the turmoil on hi.s campus, Olp Miss Coach Johnny Vaught had a number of good, convincing excuses he could have used to explain his club's not-so-awesome performance ast ninht. But, he didn't. "That wasn't what was wrong." he said in the locker room after his club's 14-0 win over Kentucky, "that Kentucky team was what was wrong. "This was the best conditioned, hardest hitting Kentucky team we've ever faced," added Vaught with sincerity, "we are happy to have won." Vaught added that he was very pleased with Glynn Griffing's performance at quarterback.

The senior signal-caller from Culkin was under center the entire game, with the exception of one play which Sophomore Bobby Weatherly called.

Wes Sullivan kicked for the extra point and Ole Miss left the field at intermission leading 7-0. Louis Guy returned the second half kickoff 20 yards to the Ole Miss 33 and the Rebs traveled 67 yards from that point to put the win away. Holloway, Griffing and Dunn were the top ground gainers and the score came on a 7-yard jaunt around left end by Holloway after he took pitchout from Griffing.

Sullivan again added the extra point to make it 14-0 and that's the way it stayed, despite one or two more threats by the Rebels and a last ditch, last-quarter effort by the Wildcats with Jerry Woolum throwing on about every play. Once again the statistical picture had a marked red and blue tinge, with Ole Miss picking up 18 first downs to 10 for the losors and 329 net yards to Kentucky's 1.12. The Wildcats netted only four (4i yards rushing, with 128 coming via the air. Tackle Jim Dunaway; Guard Don Dickson and End.s West Sul livan and Woody Dabhs led a hard-charging Ole Miss line that was exceptionally effective on defense. Junior Hawthorne and Herschel Turner, tackles, were Kentucky's best bets up front.

Griffing accounted for JK9 yards for the Rebels, netting fi8 yards in 13 runs and completing 9 of 15 passes (or 101 yards. The Wildcats won the toss, elected to receive and spent the major portion of the first quarter protecting their own goal line, and doing a highly effective job of it. Kentucky's defensive play was 1 too tough for the Rebels to penetrate, though they benefited from a fumble recovery by Dickson on the Wildcats' 39. The initial first down of the battle was made by Kentucky on two fine runs by Branson, but the Rebs held well, too, with Sullivan and Dunaway turning in some fine plav. TATS'" BIG PI.AY The Wildcats made their big move from their own 39.

Woolum cut loose with a long throw and Hutchinson made one of his circus catches, the play covering 33 yards and giving the Cats a first down sin the Ole Miss 30, as the first quarter ended. Woolum connected with Cox for seven yards and Branson ran for three and a first down on the Rebel 19.

UPP -Conversion ace Woody Woodall, twice shunted to the sidelines in favor of two-point tries which failed, boomed a extra point Saturday to give Auburn a 22-21 victory over favored Tennessee. The long extra point try, made necessary by 15-yard penalty, wound up a wild -scoring battle highlighted by the smooth quar-terbacktng of Auburn sophomore Jimmy Sidle, who set up two Tiger touchdowns and a field goal by Woodall with his passing.

In delighting the crowd of Auburn battled back once from a 14-0 deficit caused by defensive errors, and again from a 21-15 margin. The game was almost a replay of last year's battle between the two teams, in which Auburn trailed by two touchdowns, 7-21, and came back for a 24-21 victory. Saturday's Southeastern Conference game was the season opener for both teams. Larry Laster scored one Auburn touchdown on a four-yard clunze and another or a buck of one yard. Sidle passed six yards to Howard Simnson for the third 'Cal Showing Ry WAYNK THOMPSON ('larion-Idger Snorts Kriilor "Despite being thin and far out numbered, 1 thought our team scrapped real good out there tonight and I'm tremendously proud of them." Thus did Kentucky head coach Charles Bradshaw open his post-game talk in the Wildcat dressing room deep in the caverns of the Mississippi Memorial Stadium.

Asked why the Cats, with tremendous passing attack, did not really open up aerially until the fourth period, he said: "Our protection for Woolum i Quarterback-Jerry Woolum) broke down early and although we did a bit better job in the fourth period, it still wasn't good enough." Kentucky did make its most serious threat in the final ter. this despite giving a bench advantage to the Ole Miss Rebels, and a question to that also brought a direct answer: "Our boys have a tremendous pride, are in exceptional condition ail(l they believe that any they go into a game even in the fourth period, they will win." The Cats weren't even going into the final period they trail- ed Ole Miss 14-0, the final score. The Rebel team, as such, also drew words of praise from Bradshaw, opening his first season as head coach at Kentucky. 'To night played real fine team, one of the nation's best." Bradshaw was especially unhappy over some crucial mistakes on four big plays two on bootlegs and two on pitch backs and also said that his team could not come up with the big play when needed. The biggest, according to Bradshaw, from a Cat standpoint, came in the first, period when Kentucky had the ball, fourth and three on the Ole Miss 12 and Woolum completed a pass for a yard loss.

"A touchdown there would have really givpn us a lift." Kentucky suffered only one had injury, this to Halfback Parrel! Cox just before the half when Iip met Ole Miss QR Glynn Grilling hradnn in the end one on the first touchdown. The extent of his injury is no, known but Bradshaw was alraid to lisp him again and Ken Rocard, regular right half, came in at lelt half and did a great job. All American end candidate Tom Hutchinson played Mine ,0 minutes, made one outstanding catch, and was also great on deiense. He floated hack on a passing situation and personally knocked down several Ole Miss aerials. The Cats are thin but tough.
