i AFTER THE DEFEAT By LEE BAKER I Daily News Sports Editor GAINESVILLE, Fla. Mississippi State's passing, such as it is, cut up the Marrons almost as throughly as did Florida's heralded hurler, Steve Spurrier, who carried the Gators to yet another victory, 28-7, before a record turnout. I There were 49,333 in still-ta-be completed Florida field her Saturday afternoon as the Gators and Spurrier made the ifiost of three interceptions, tprning each into a touchdown. I There was a record for points, tto, with the 28 an all-time high for Florida against State ifi the 21-game series dating hack to 1923. I And as the Gators poured across three td's in the third quarter to break open a 7-7 halftime deadlock, the potential existed for considerably more scoring, but Florida Coach Ray Graves gradually phased Spurrier out with hulk-iog (6-2, 216-pound) junior Harmon Wages finishing' out the qtiarterbacking.

rstate hung in nicely for a bouncing back after Spurrier whipped a 16-yard scoring Pfiss to end Jack Coons early the second period, and Don Spget tallied in turn for the Maroons on a superbly executed 23-yard bootleg keeper. Florida showed quickly when the third period got under way Just what sort of offensive ightning Mississippi State was trying to put in a bottle. a Maroon punt, taken on a fair catch at the Gator 40, the Florida attack unit moved 6(1 yards in 2 plays, the biggest 13-ysrd pass opurrier to split end Paul Ewaldsen. jThe payoff came on a six-yard smash with a pitchout alround left end by Florida's hiss of a sophomore, 6-4, 214-p6und Larry Smith, who simply shrugged off a half dozen Maroon would-be tacklers be 'Too Much Blitz' By ROSS M. HAGEN Associated Press Writer BIRMINGHAM, Ala.

(AP) -Quarterback Kenny Stabler threw two touchdown passes to Dennis Homan and scored once himself Saturday night as Alabama overwhelmed Louisiana Tech 34-0 in a nonconfer-ence football clash. Despite the lopsided score, third-ranked Alabama had its hands full with the visiting Bull dogs bent on spoiling the Crim son Tide's open bid for a third straight national championship. The surprisingly strong Lou isiana Tech squad carried the fight to Alabama most of the way and three of Alabama's touchdowns were set up by intercepted passes. Another pass interception killed Louisiana Tech's most serious drive. The Bulldogs had driven to Alabama 14 late in the second quarter when Tide defender Bob Childs picked off a pass thrown by Tech quarterback Phil Robertson.

Alabama Coach Paul Bryant used three quarterbacks Stabler, Wayne Trimble and Joe Kelley. Trimble took the Tide in for one touchdown after Ala bama defender Dickey Thomp son intercepted a Robertson pass at the Tech 22. Harold Moore canned the final two yards. Kelley was at the controls for Alabama's fifth touchdown. Aft er tossing a 40-yard pass to end Conrad Fowler, Kelley handed off to Moore who smashed through the middle of the Tech line four yards for a touchdown.

The defensive secondary did most of the work for Alabama in the early going. Safetyman Bobby Johns picked off a Robertson aerial late in the first quarter and six plays later, Stabler arched a pass to Homan in the end zone. Alabama's second touchdown also followed an interception with Eddie Robers, a junior end, stealing the ball and running it back to the Tech eight. Stabler, with a key block from Gene Raburn, swept right end for eight yards and the six- pointer Robertson began finding his targets Robert Brunet and Kn Liderto moving to the Ala- bama 14 before Childs' intercep tion stopped the drive.

Says By D. L. UPTON Clarion Ledger Sports Writer Kentucky head football coach Charlie Bradshaw pointed a glaming finger at several things, not excluding himself, following his Wildcats' 17-0 loss Saturday night to Ole Miss. "We just didn't have the boys Drecared for that' weak side blitz they (the Rebels) put on usv" he said. That defensive maneuver, car- ried out by charging linebackers through a spot vacated by worth.

This came in the fourth period. OTHER TALLY Street got the other Reb tally on a three-yard smash early in the second quarter after a 48-gallop by Cunningham on a quickie and another 19 by the Louisville junior had put it in position. Ole Miss made other threats, one halted by an impressive goal line stand, but the Cats were never in the game. They had whipped Ole Miss twice straight, including that 27-21 shocker right here in 1964, but didn have a chance Saturday night. A crowd estimated at just over 37,000 fans saw the carnage and, as expected, it was the Rebs defensive unit which gave the ottense good field position most of the evening despite great punting by Larry Seiple.

The tailback hero of the Cats 16-7 win last year, averaged 39.2 on 10 boots, but got only 62 rushing. Ole Miss' Chuck Norman averaged 40.4 on five kicks. STATISTICAL STORY The sta's tell the story, par- tially, although it wasnt as close as (he score indicated. ga'ned a net of 76 rushing but lost 68 while Ole Miss fP'Pnd a net of 181 and los nirv 10. Total yardage 0, 26 to just 123 and f'rst downs 12 to 9.

The Rebs cr cd only five of 16 with one stolen; the Cats three of 17 that many picked off. Cunningham, with 111 yards trips, led individual gainers; Street had 31 in 11, Wade 12 in four and Bruce Newell 11 in 6. Haik caught three passes for 69 yards. CATS' STATS For the Cats, Seiple led with 62 and Homer Goins 18 in three. Don Spanish caught two passes for 38 yards.

Kentucky had some bright moments, including its opening drive which moved from the Cat 22 to the Reb 24 in eight plays before the interception; wh'le the goal line stand was another small shining area. True enough, the Cats did lose starting quarterback Terry Beadles in the first quarter and that had to hurt. But that was not enough to make any significant difference in the game or score. The Rebs were truly impressive in getting win No. Two in that many starts with untarnished goal line and Reb fans can now awa next baturaay classic hrre with Alabama with even more hnne.

FIRST QUARTER Although winning the toss, the Rebels chose to kxk and turn it over to the defense first. Which might have been a mistake. Starting from their own 22, the Cats drove downfield with Seiple turning in key runs of 18 and 15 yards on pitchout to move into Reb terrain at the 38. After getting a measured first down and then driving to the 24, Kentucky took to the air and it was quickly turned into trouble. Dillingham intercepted the first pass of the came at his own 14 hnd returned 42 yards to tne tat Cunningham, at tailback, sparked the drive, turning in a total of 26 yards in five carries.

Graves completed a third down toss to Wade to keep it alive; and, from the seven, Graves went around right end for the score following a beautiful fake Into the line. Fleming threw the key block. The Rebs had driven 44 yardi In eight plays to move aheM Continued on Page 3C fore lunging over the goal line. Florida also had moved impressively for its first tourch-down, starting from an interception by defensive back Bobby Downs at the Gator 20, but that had involved just seven plays, 44 coming in one chunk when Spurrier flipped a screen pass to jet-propelled flanker Richard Trapp. 14-7 ADVANTAGE But after fashioning a 14-7 advantage, the Gators didn't need to work so hard as interceptions carried back deep into Maroon territory eased the pressure for spurrier and the offensive unit.

There were 7 minutes left in the third quarter when Smith scored to move the Gators on top to stay. Just it minutes later Florida tallied again, then with 2 seconds remaining in that fatal third frame, the Gators did it again. Saget, who already had been victimized by a touchdown drive after his first interception, had two more picked off that set the decision-cinching scores, providing thereby the almost instant fashion in which the Gators were getting their touchdowns. Before the first interception State had penetrated fairly deep, rumbling along from its 26 to the Florida 26 on a deft combination of runs and passes when downs made a brilliant save, simply stealing the ball out of the hands of Maroon split end David Nugent. But the next two swipes weren't quite so involved.

Larry Rentz, the clever soph, safety, did do a dramatis sort of juggling before settling down to hanging onto the ball, came whipping back 18 yards to the State 25 to set the stage for Florida T.D. No. 3. The third (and last) interception was even more simple. Defensive end Don Barrett stepped in front of a Sagct throw Continued on Page 3C success to the offensive changes.

'Tunningham gave us the spark we needed on offense," Vaught said after the game. A look at the statistics shows that Vaught was right. The Louisville senior carried the ball 17 times for 111 yards, by far the best showing by any ball carrier for the night. The veteran head coach also had praise for Haik, who caught three passes for 69 yards. "He is a fine football player.

We knew this all along," Vaught said. The Ole Miss head coach explained that Fleming was double teamed most of the night from his new wingback "You get a lot. more double teaming on that side," he said. Vaught said that the decision to make the changes had been made after the Rebels' opening night 10 win over Mem phis State. Vaught's Secret Weapon Gomes Out Against 'Cats the split end.

threw Kentucky quarterback Roger Walz for losses time and time again. "There was just no protection on the blitz insisted. Walz took over early in the second quarter junior sensation Terry Beadles injured his ankle. IN PILE UP The injury was diasnosed, according to Bradshaw, as a simple spran, as the foot was rolled under a pile up and Beadles was forced to watch the rest of the games from the sideline. Bradshaw wasn't dissatisfied with Walz' performance, insist ing that the senior from Ft.

Thomas, didn't get the protection he needed. Bradshaw pointed out, that Walz' 5-10 frame wasn't enough to stand up against "the charging Rebel wall of rushers. There was one bright spot from the Kentucky view fo things the punting of Larry Seiple. Seiple averaged better than 40 yards ner boot and hlped keep the Rebs from doing any more damage than they did. Ole Miss did a bit of switching on offense and that too came as a surprise to the U-Kats.

"We were surprised to see Fleming on the wing," said Bradshaw. "It took us a while to adjust to it." BIG BLOW What probably hurt most was the drive Kentucky started after taking the opening kick-off. Said Bradshaw: "We moved the ball some 50 yards and we had our momentum going. Rut the Interception stopped that momentum and we were never able to get it back." Bradshaw did praise his defense for the goal line stand It put up in the) closing minutes of the game. IP' ii 111 i By BILLY RAINEY Daily News Staff Writer jpohnny Vaught can keep a sefcret.

Poug Cunningham, usually a wiBgback, was in the tailback position. Rocky Fleming, a stel-laf performer at split end, was the wingback and Michael Haik, a promising junior who had been the No. 2 man at both end positions was at Manning Fleming's old split end position.
