IP) Tennessee's alert secondary stole eight Alabama passes Saturday and the Vols turned the thefts into three touchdowns and a field goal for a 24-0 victory in a Southeastern Conference football game. A record crowd of 64,947 saw Bill Battle hand his old coach, Paul "Bear" Bryant, the first whitewashing he has suffered in 115 straight contests. The last time Alabama was blanked was 7-0 by Penn State in the 1959 Liberty Bowl game.

The eight interceptions set a new Tennessee record, eclipsing an old mark established against Mississippi in 19(i8. Captain Tim Priest, who tied the Tennessee record with three interceptions, set up the Vols' first touchdown by spearing a Neb Hayden pass on the Alabama 38 and racing to the 16. Quarterback Bobby Scott sneaked over from the one after completing a 12-yard toss to Sonny Lesach. Don McLeary raced four yards for Tennessee's second six-pointer to cap a 43-yard drive which was set in motion by Conrad Graham's interception of a Hayden pass. In the fourth quarter, the alert Vols cashed two pass thefts into a 35-yard field goal by George Hust and a 22-yard touchdown gallop by linebacker Jackie Walker.

End David Bailey caught 12 passes covering 150 yards for Alabama in a losing cause. Except for Priest's initial interception which the Vols quickly converted into a touchdown, the first half evolved into a defensive struggle. Tennessee was unaole to get across midfield on its own momentum in the first two periods, but took a 7-0 lead into the dressing room. Alabama got several drives going but just when it appeared the Tide might be about to put some points on the scoreboard, a Vol would pick off a Tide Pass. Alabama's deepest penetration was to the Tennessee 21 where a 39-yard field goal kick by Richard Cicmny missed its mark.

On fourth down, Ray Guy booted a 47-yard tie-breaking field goal. Southern put the game on ice in the third quarter with two touchdowns. The first, set up by two Donegan passes and a 15-yard sprint by Moulton, came when Heidelberg hit right tackle on a reverse, sidestepped a host of would-be tacklers and scored from 11 yards out. Sophomore Gerry Saggus later sprinted 60 yards down the sideline with a punt for the clincher.

Manning accounted for both Rebel touchdowns in the first quarter, hitting Floyd Franks with a 51-yard heave and Randy Reed with a 22-yarder. Ole Miss drove down to Southern's one-yard line in the third quarter but was. unable to push it over for a TD. Another Rebel drive was choked off at the Southern 12 when Logan stole a Manning pass. A 43-YARD FIELD goal attempt by Ole Miss' Cloyce Hinton was no good in the second quarter.

The Southern dressing room was a madhouse. Players hugged each other, lifted coaches on their shoulders and shouted in a delirious outburst. Defensive end Hugh Eggersman, who intercepted one Manning pass in the first half and halted the quarterback on the one in the third period, grabbed Underwood and shouted: "I love you. You made us work to get ready for it and we won it for you." Ole Miss coach John Vaught, subdued after the game, said Southern was "a very inspired and enthusiastic football team today. "They beat us on hustle and desire.

We had never seen this reverse" that Southern halfback Heidelberg used to score. Vaught also had high praise for Guy, who averaged 48.6 yards on 10 punts. "I've never seen a better kicker," Vaught said. "I've been telling our boys all week this Southern was as good as we have seen in the past, that on a given Saturday they could beat us." He was right. So.

Pat Sullivan threw two touchdown passes, one of them the longest in Auburn's history, and scored once himself Saturday as the undefeated Tiger football machine, ranked eighth in the nation, ground up Georgia Tech 31-7. Suilivan turned in the most a wesome performance of his career with a total of 354 yards. He completed 16 of 29 passes for 312 yards and picked up the remaining 42 yards on the ground in seven plays.

Comedian Bob Hope and 62,391 other fans, another Auburn record, saw the junior quarterback from Birmingham cut loose in the third period with an 85-yard scoring pass to Alvin Bresler and, shortly afterward, another for 30 yards to workhorse running back Mickey Zofko. HOPE WAS in Auburn for a campus show Saturday night. The 85-yard bomb from Sullivan went four yards farther than the Tigers' previous record touchdown pass. Dudley Spence threw one for 81 yards to Lee Hayley against Wofford in 1952. Auburn rolled 98 yards for the score against Tech the first time it got the ball.

Sullivan went over from the three. The Tigers got another touchdown shortly afterwards when the Yellow Jackets fumbled. Fullback WaU lace Clark scored from the four.

Mike Cavan rifled two touchdown passes to Charles Whittemore within a 26-second span of the third period Saturday as Georgia ended a five-game Southeastern Conference winless string with a 37-3 victory over Vanderbilt.

The Bulldogs had struggled to a 10-3 lead before the sudden explosion that saw Whittemore haul in scoring bombs of 65 and 17 yards. The first came with 44 seconds remaining in the period ending an 83-yard drive that took only three plays. The second came with 18 seconds left after Dennis Watson pounced on a Commodore fumble at the Vandy 17. THEN, JUST two minutes deep into the fourth period, Buzy Rosenberg dashed 78 yards with a punt return, shaking off several defenders at midfield and then slipping out of punter Steve Smith's attempted tackle at the 19.
