On fourth down and a yard to go, with the egg resting in midfield, Clemson played safe and Payne, subbing for Tinsley punted 40 yards to Gafford who was tackled for only a two yard return to his 13. THE TIDE TURNS Hurled back for a loss, Irby stepped back into his end zone and banged an 82 yard punt that took a crazy bounce by Payne to the Gents' 12. In a flash the tide turned. Where Auburn was backed up, now it was Clemson by a queer twist of the bame.

Cornelius hurled Payne for a five yard loss and Booty kicked 50 yards to Gafford who returned to Clemson's 45. The Carolinians braced, held for three downs and forced Gafford to kick and his punt tumbled until it rolled out on Clemson's one foot mark. On the snap from center, a low pass, rolled back to Payne who fumbled and Sanford recovered for an Auburn touchdown with arsenic suddenness. Chateau converted. It was not Payne's fault but an erratic snap from center.

On Auburn's kickoff the Clemson's again failed on offense and Payne punted 45 yards. The Plainsmen suffered a clipping penalty, and Reynolds and Irby made 10. Then came a break for the visitors when Irby fumbled and Franklin recovered on Auburn's 42.

Both teams riveted stubborn defenses and Auburn sliced a punt out on Clemson's 39. Timmons and Tinsley couldn't budge and Tinsley cot off a beau tiful 51-yard punt to Gafford who returned to his 35. Yardage was being gained scantily and by the hard play with neither team able to register a first down as several fourth down punts were exchanged. The Plainsmen continued to strip Clemson's interference and no holes were opened through which Timmons could spin. AUBURN'S THIRD Gafford swung into action and struggled 10 yards to give the Plainsmen more encouragement, and like a shot out of a cannon Irby broke off his own right tackle and.

led into the open by blockers Joe Edens and Max Morris, he raced 59 yards for Auburn's third touchdown. Again Chateau converted and the score mounted, 21 to 0. The South Carolinians tore back and Payne raced 23 yards to carry the mail to Auburn's 47. He was almost loose for the long journey. Eooty's long pass barely overshot Franklin far down the field and Payne next passed to Timmons for 22 yards.

McClurkin burst through to snag Payne for a three-yard loss as he moved slowly- to the middle to be in position to pass in either direction. For the first time in the game the Carolinians began to show a spurt. Payne on a reverse swept 10 yards and Booty shot a bullet pass to Chipley for a first down on Auburn's 12.

Tinsley failed to slide off hi.s right tackle for a gain and Timmons hit the same spot for a yard. The Plainsmen were staging a remarkable goal line stand, but Timmons crashed over for a Clemson touchdown. Timmons converted and the score read 21 to 7. seconds before the third quarter ended. To begin the final period, after a punt exchange, Payne tried passes and a run to no avail and Tinsley's long kick found the Plainsmen unable to gain and each defense stiffened.

Educated toes vied for honors until the time out was called for officials to get a stray dog off the field. Nothing else transpired but valuable time to the Country Gentlemen In their apparently lost cause. Of a sudden Payne tore loose for 20 yards and needed only one more block to be long gone, but his in-terferer couldn't pick him up. Timmons' long pass intended for Chip-ley was intercepted by Gafford to give the Plainsmen tin weapon on their 25. Clemson suffered a 13-yard penalty for unnecessary toughness.

Clayton picked up six but Clemson bolstered and forced a punt. Reynolds broke up Payne's long pass intended for Dickron, and again the receivers couldn't get out for the Greenville toy's tosses as the listless quarter dragged toward a climax. IRBY EMOTES CROWD To enliven the proceedings for the big home-coming day crowd Auburn started another drive, and Irby emoted fans to rousing cheers with a 22-yard sprint to Clemson's 22. Irby, a ram all afternoon, took a double snap bad: and tore through the middle of the Country Gents' line for Auburn's fourth touchdown.
