Ole Miss, smashed on the field where only a year ago the Rebels waded through Southern by a 69-7 count, already was established firmly as No. 4 nationally, a four-time winner this season with a nine-game victory Continued on page 3-C By CARL WALTERS Clarion-Ledger Staff Writer MEMORIAL STADIUM -Mississippi state's battling Bulldogs marked their fourtti upset victory' of the season here this chilly Saturday night, turning back the favored Texas Tech Red Raiders by a score of 20-16. The victory over the Texans was the third jn a row for State at Memorial Stadium this season and it can now be said with a certain degree of seriousness that the Bulldog "own" the Red Raders from the Lone Star State. They have met four times in the last four years and State has won thrice, with one game ending in a tie.

Flanker David Smith, a swift and shifty from Knoxville, was the offensive star for the Bullies. Ke set an all-time Mississippi State pass receiving record for a single game with 12 catches that netted 215 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Joe Reed was on the throwing cad a-d he hit on 16 of 27 for 246 yards. TOP GAINER Lewis Grubbs, a sophomore tailback who is improving with every start, scored the third 1 touchdown for the Bullies on a I one-yard smash and was their chief ground gainer. He piled up 81 yards in 25 totes.

Reed got 30 yards in 15 tries and Dick McElroy, a rookie fullback, got 15 yards in four carries. Steve Stoots, another soph fullback, ran for 13 yards the only time he carried the i ball. I Texas Tech had a quartet of fine running backs in Doug McCutchen, who gained 70 yards in 22 carries; Larry Hnr-grave, who gained 59 yards in 10 carries, Miles Langehenning, with 51 yards in 6 runs, and Danny Hardaway, who gained 34 yards in nine tries. Texas Tech's two touchdowns were scored by Hargrave on a 2-yard end run in the first quarter and a 16-yard run with a screen pass from Charles Nap-per in the fourth quarter.

FIRST QUARTER The Raiders received, could not get their offense moving and had to punt, with State driving 74 yards in 13 plays to take a 6-0 lead wilh 5:51 minutes of playing time left in the first period. Good running by Grubbs and Reed and Reed's passing, especially to Smith, sparked the bulldogs scoring drive Two Reed-to-Smith passes gained 16 and 13 yards and another to Grubbs picked up 12 for a first down on the Texas Tech 18-yard line. Grubbs ran for six yards, then covered Reed's fumble for a two-yard gain.

Reed then raced around right end for 7 yards a first down on the Piader three. It took three blasts before Grubbs shoved over the goal line for the last yard and six points. The placement trv was off to the right, leaving State out front 6-0. Texas Tech retaliated immediately. The Raiders started from their own 2S after the kickoff and rolled 72 yards in seven plays for a touchdown.

McCutchen was the bi gun in the attack, with Hargrave also h.tting for big yardage. McCutchen took a pitchout from Napper and banged 10 yard3 zround left end for a first down on the Bulldog three and after McCutchen was held to a one- yard gain, Hargrave scored around right end. Ingram's pla-cekick was good and the Raiders took the lead by a point, 7-.

Ole Miss Coach Johnny Vaught had sounded warnings many previous times that his Rebels and the world might have discounted his words on the murderous potential of the University of Southern Missis sippi's Big Gold.

But oh, how true, how exceed- insly true were those words. For Southern consumed mighty Ole Miss just like Little Red Riding Hood's grandma, 30-14, in a stunner here Saturday afternoon that USM coach P. W. Underwood insisted afterward "wasn't any upset." We took it to them all the way." And so the Southerners did, with no wood chopper to bring Little Red a hanny ending. OLE MISS SCORE Clipped for a Rebel touchdown in the first 2V4 minutes I when Archie Manning uncorked I 1 l- 1 TTtl 1 a 51-yard bomb to Floyd Franks, Southern was even be fore the first quarter ended as sophomore Bill Foley breezed 44 yards around the left side with a pitchout.

After another Manning TD pass, this for 22 yards to Randy Reed. Southern struck back a second time wi'h Willie Heidel-burg reeling off an 11 yard scoring run on a reverse that definitely surprised the Reb defense. Not content merely to play catch up. the Southerners nioved in front after Craig Logan's interception and a 15 yard personal foul against Ole Miss set the stage for Ray Guy's 47 yard field goal 3:19 from halftime. After that there was no looking back as twice trimmed Southern (33-14 by Auburn, 41-14 by San Diego State) banged across two more touchdowns in the third quarter, then wrapped it up by time after time repel- i ling every thing that Manning and Co.

could try. There were overtones of last yar's 33-32 loss to Alabama when Archie tore apart the record book in a losing cause. This time he broke his pass launching mark established tnen, firing 56 times (bettering bis 52 against the Tide) with 30 complete for a towering 341 Ivards plus the two toucn- 0i downs.

But, those few followers will probably have a better memory of the game's ending than any packed audience in the nine-year history of ihe 46.000 capacity edifice. Delta's Statesmen, taking ad vantage of a sieve-like Mississippi College defensive second ary, scored 23 points in the final half to overcome a 24-7 Choctaw advantaged.

The Statesmen, leading 30-24, were faced with a fourth down and 23 situation on their own 10 yard line with five seconds remaining. Electing to keep the ball and hoping to run out the clock. Delta quarterback Randle Brad-berry was slammed to the ground by the entire Choctaw front wall and Mississippi College untilized the one time out Coach Hartwell McPhail had re maining. Choc quarterback Andy Sumrall, as the siren sounded, lofted a 10-yard scoring strike to luuback Donnie carrutn in the right side of the end zone.
