Franklin Marshall 21 MIDWEST Iowa 28, Indiana 17 presumably a record of some sort. Every once in a while once a quarter, actually the Rebs got something going. MANNING DRIVES Archie Manning 'put together an 11 play, 79-yard strike on the second Ole Miss possession to get the Rebs on the scoreboard. In the second period, Archie moved the team 43 yards in 10 plays then retired for the day in favor of Brent 'Shug' Chumbler, who pushed Ole Miss 80 yards in 10 plays during the third quarter to wtndfup the scoring. Bo Bowen got the first of three short-yardage touchdowns, chopping two yards over left guard after Manning passes to Floyd Franks, Vernon Stud-dard, Leon Felts and Poole accounted for most of the yardage in the drive.

Manning himself went a yard through the middle for the sec ond T.D., that thrust initiated by a Glenn Cannon interception at midfield and a 16-yard sprint by Randy Reed the big gainer in reaching the goal line. Chumbler's 41-yard pass to Franks who had a record-breaking day of his own was the main thrust for the final touchdown. Chumbler emulated Manning for the six points, Continued On Page 4B STATISTICS OXFORD, Miss. (API Statistics of the Chattanooga-Ole Miss football oome: Chat. Miss.

Then, on State's first offensive play, Bobby Woodruff intercepted Pharr's pass at the State 29, returning 12 yards to the 17. Despite a clip on the steal, Auburn retained possession until Wallace Clark blasted through a hole at left tackle and Riley's point made it 10-0 and State had run only one play. After the Bulldogs couldn't move with the ensuing kickoff, Don Webb took Conn Canale's punt downfield for 9 yards to the State 35 and, on the first play, the sophomore combination of quarterback Pat Sullivan and Terry Beasley made it 17-0. With Riley's help, of course.

Early in the game, safety Buddy McClinton had picked off the second of four interceptions Auburn was to steal all day to give him the team record of seven for a season with those two games left. Larrv Willingham, tied with McClinton going into the game, soon matched that figure as he led second quarter scoring witn steal and subsequent 24 yard run for the score. BLOCKED PUNT Later in the period, Pasca- goula's Dick Ingwersen blocked a Canale punt the line of scrimmage was the 30 and it was Webb, following the bouncing ball into the end zone to get credit for the score. That made it 31-0 with 8:08 remaining in the half with second string quarterback Tommy Traylor adding Auburn's fifth TD on a 10-yard scamper around end following a famble recovery at the Bulldog 10. In the first quarter, following the 17-0 Auburn advantage, Pharr had completed passes to Ronnie Moore, David Smith and Sammy Milner to move to the Auburn 31 for its first main threat but Auburn got tough and forced the punt from the 40 four plays later.

That was State's lone move until the touchdown before half-time. Smith returned the kickoff 44 yards to the State 44; a pass was no good before Milner took a five yard pass on third down and Pharr ran for five for a first down on the 45. FOR TALLY On the next play, it was Pharr to Smith for the tally with Jordan adding the point and it was 38-7 at intermission.

Donegan. going all the way at quarterback for Southern, completed 20 of 31 throws for 163 yards. The loss was Southern's fifth against three wins with east Carolina and West Texas State still left in a potential breakeven season while Memphis State now is 6-2. FIRST QUARTER Southern showed the offense early, though not much, picking up a couple of first downs on its first two possessions, while Memphis had none on its two. But after Hale missed a 52-yard field goal try, first of many which he would be short and left, the Tigers turned it on.

The move was on the ground, 52 yards on eight carries, as far as ihe Southern 28 where Pierce faked another thrust, then flipped a pass to split end Blackwell, open behind defender Craig Logan at the I'SM 10. who made the grab and zipped in for six. Pete Weeks, 254-pound husky nationally entering this one, it was their sixth win against a brace of defeats with Georgia at Athens and Alabama at Birmingham left on the 1969 slate. For Miss. State, which refused to fold in the face of overwhelming odds, it was loss No.

five as compared with three wins and with dates left against LSU and Ole Miss. BULLDOG ERRORS True enough, Bulldog errors contributed many of the Auburn points. But, the Tigers were quick to take advantage of those miscues and put points on the boards with easy regularity. For example, Auburn used a pass interception and a 29 yard punt return plus one aborted drive to score 17 points in the space of four minutes and 13 seconds of the initial period; and, had padded its lead to 33-0 with 3:33 left in the half before the Bulldogs used the striking force of a Tommy Pharr pass for its first score. That initial State TD was on a 45 yard pass to David Smith with Chuck Jordan adding the conversion to cut Auburn's lead to 38 7 at intermission; while Auburn was in front at 45-7 in the third quarter when State used a fumble recovery by Mike Wade at the Tiger 19 for its other score.

This, too, came on a Pharr pass with the still hampered Pharr passing for nine yards to fullback Don Dudley. A two -point conversion on a pass to Dudley was no good when Dudley was tackled short of the end zone. STANDING ROOM A standing room only crowd of some 47,000 fans sat under perfect skies to watch this one and, despite being practically all Auburn minded, had to believe the Tigers rank with the best in the land. With this game safely out of danger early, Auburn coach Shug Jordan started employing his second units in the second period and, before finis was written to the one-sided contest, has cleared his bench. The Bulldogs were not to their physical par not that it would have made too much difference.

Pharr is yet to fully recover from his shoulder separation suffered in early October; backup quarterback Joe Reed didn't play at all; while also held out were two backfield regulars in wingback Terry Smithhart and tailback Steve Whaley. And, also despite the onesided battle, State had its moments with several Bulldogs coming up with key defensive maneuvers during the course of the game and, for a while there, it did seem that Miss. State should have brought its own ball. TIGERS MARCH For example, Auburn took the opening kickoff and marched Tigers previous three wins came by increasing margins 6-0, 24-8 and 29-7 before this, the most utter rout yet. Billy Jack Murphy's alternating quarterbacks, Danny Pierce and Ricky Thurow, did the greatest damage.

Pierce, who makes his home in Hattiesburg, just as Southern does, threw for 28 yards to end Frank Blackwell for Memphis' first touchdown and ran 38 yards afor the list. In between, Thurow bolted 28 yards for a score, ex-Mississippi stater Jay McCoy ripped one and 45 yards for scores, and Pete Week booted a 40-yard field goal and four extra points. ONLY SCORE Southern's only score came with 25 seconds left on Ricky Donegan's five yard pass to Billy Mikel. John Hale, who missed three field goal tries before Southern gave up that mode of trying to score, did boot the point after. The Tigers, sticking mostly to the ground, ran up 476 yards to USM's 121, completing only 3 of a BY LEE BAKER Dally News Sports Editor UNIVERSITY-Without a hint of pain or strain, Ole Miss brushed by Chattanooga, 21-0, here Saturday afternoon, giving every indication of being as ready as the Rebels will ever be for the big test a week hence.

As the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, the Moccasins made poor-stand-ins for their big brothers, the Volunteers of U.T. at Knoxville, who face the Rebels next Saturday in the showdown of the season within the Southeastern Conference. Other than an object failure on field goal attempts, the Rebs rolled with ease by the Mocs, scoring a touchdown in each of the first three quarters. The Moccasins, who had encountered others more ruthless than the Rebs this season U. T.

Knoxville, for one, in the season opener 31-0 did nut up fierce defensive resistence throughout, thereby keeping Ole Miss from having a real ball. HINTON MISSES Cloyce Hinton, who zoomed a record 59-yard field goal earlier this season against Georgia, was short on a 60-yard try early, and before the first quarter ended, again missed on a 51-yard attempt, then as the half closed he failed on a 30-yarder. Jim Poole had a crack at the task early in the fourth quarter, going from 47 yards out, but he was short as well as wide left, so on the final play of the game, Hinton got his fourth chance 62 yards, wide and short. Jim Cooper of 'Nooga missed a 47-yard bid for three points, thereby bringing the game's total on field goals to zero-for-six, EN GEORGIA JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP)-Pass-shy Florida used breaks and a ground attack Saturday to earn a hard-fought 13-13 tie with Georgia that killed both teams' chances for the Southeastern Conference championship but left bowl hopes glimmering.

Florida's John Reaves who led the nation in total offense despite his nine interceptions by Auburn last week appeared gun-shy and was far off target in his tosses. DURRANCE SHINES Tailback Tommy Durrance took up the slack with a devastating running spurt that carried the Gators from their 17 to the Georgia five in the final quarter. Richard Franco booted his second field goal of the game and tied the score with five and a half minutes left. Each team had one chance in the closing minutes but couldn't score. Florida missed a 30-ynrd field goal attempt with 15 seconds to play.

Sore-a Mike Cavan brought Georgia to life in tho second half after two other quarterbacks failed, and overcame an early 10-0 Florida lead. Cavan, a master at faking, sent speedy halfback Trav Paine bursting over the middle of the line 46 yards to a touchdown that put Georgia ahead late in the third period. Cavan from Tutwiler, booted the point after. Hale missed another field goal attempt, this from 47 yards after a Southern penetration slowed the Tiger 30. SECOND QUARTER Memphis State began marching again after a mint to its 29.

Thurow, keeping on the option for 10 and 12 yards followed by an 11-yard burst by Davis, gave the main moves before Thurow delivered the dandiest of all. The senior quarterback from North Little Rock. Ark. (who two years ago shot down Ole Miss in the same stadium in the Rob's only loss to the Tigs) started with a keeper inside right tackle He zigzagged through the secondary, before sprinting straight for the end zone a 28-yard play. Donegan passing to Fayanl for 12 and 13, the Mikel" for 12 got Southern to the I'.

35, but thereafter and for the th id tii.ie the half. Hale was short and left, trying a 51-yard field goal. At half time, Memphis State TO TIE whipped the Bulldogs 55 yards to their first scoring drive only two minutes earlier with his passing. Steve Farnsworth banged six yards for that score. FIFTH DOWN Florida used a Georgia fumble and a "fifth down" field goal for its first half points.

The Gators went 33 yards on the ground to a touchdown after Julian Smiley fumbled. It took six plays, all on the groound, to get the score. Florida moved to the Georgia 18 just before halftime and apparently failed to score when a fourth down fake field goal turned into an incompleted pass. But officials had vtiistled the play dead before it started. Initially, Florida officials said the play was stopped because of an errant football resting in the end zone, but game officials said later they stopped the play because of fans in the end zone.
