Robert R. Neyland, moldering in the athletic director's office this week as excitement on the Tennessee campus swelled in anticipation of the Auburn game, cleared his throat and spoke. If the present trend toward the field goal is not curbed on college campuses, he said, the rules makers will curb it. Neyland is chairman and practically a charter member of the rules committee. He is also Papa Bear of the conservative school of football.

Neyland's vocal objection to the field goal 1 Going Nowhere Fast FSU halfback Richie Weber (25) finds himself trapped by Florida linebacker lom Kelley (52) for a one-yard loss in the first period. More Gator-Seminole photos are on Page 5-C. is that it spotlights the abilities of one player (the kicker). Football, in his book, is a team sport. Neyland is one of the game's great figures but he would do well to examine his own motives and make certain he is not moving to the defense of his own philosophy of football.

The Tennessee system as invented by Neyland and refined Clearwater entertains St. Pe tersburg, Largo is home to high-scoring Dixie Hollins and Tarpon Springs plays host to Bishop Barry. Dunedin is the only club on the road, traveling to Tampa for a game against beefy Jesuit. The Tornadoes, who can bare ly muster enough varsity players now for a good scrimmage, were thumped at Tampa Plant on Friday, 35-19, and now have season mark. St.

Peters burg nipped Fort Myers, 3-0, after losing 7-0 to Northeast. Hollins has romped to wins over Bishop Barry and Sarasota, thanks to the running and pass ing of Marty Terry. Largo 24-6 setback at Tampa Jefferson last week followed a 6-6 tie with Boca Cicga. Dunedin throttled Tarpon Springs 34-0 as the Falcons resumed play. They had a two-week layoff after their 19-13 loss to Clearwater.

Tarpon Springs has now lost two in a row after nipping Gulf, 7-0. Pasco High's surprising Pirates, with three straight wins un der their belts, could throw the Southwest Florida Conference into a turmoil by beating top-rated Auburndale in Dade City, Friday. The Pirates nipped defending champion Bartow, 14-6, last week. Hernando High's unbeaten Leo pards (3-0), who are averaging 40 points per game, meet anoth er non-league foe at Brooksville when they play Lake Weir, Fri day. South Sumter, West Coast Conference leader, also plays out side the conference at Bushncll against Zcphyrhills.

S.W. LARGO KNOXVILLE, Tcnn. Auburn stormed back from a 14-point deficit yesterday and whipped Tennessee 24-21 on the passing of quarterback Bobby Hunt and a 22-yard field goal by Woody Woodall. Normally defensive minded, the Southeastern Confer-ence teams virtually tossed aside their defenses and gave a sunbaked crowd of 44,600 thrill after thrill with a great offensive show. TENNESSEE scored all its points in an explosive first quarter with tailback Glenn Glass directing three scoring drives after the alert Vols had pounced on three Auburn fumbles.

The partisan crowd roared for the Vols to pour it on. But Auburn's huge Tigers refused to be Statistics AUBURN Plrst Downs 1 Rushlna.

LARRY RAWSO.V, a brilliant sophomore fullback, and halfback Jimmy Burson ripped through Tennessee's line for repeated gains.

And on the critical plays when a pass was needed to keep a drive going, Hunt and his stand-in, sophomore Mailon Kent, connected. Tennessee made a determined bid to pull it out in the third period, smashing down to the Auburn 1 after Glass had relumed a kickoff 64 yards to the Tiger 29. But on a third and one situation, Vol fullback J. W. Carter fumbled and Dave Edwards recovered for the Tigers.

Woodall kicked his game-winning field goal in the third period after the Tigers smashed 66 yards to the Tennessee 6. The Vols held and Auburn Coach Ralph (Shug) Jordan sent in Woodall, a kicking specialist, for the three-pointer.

MARYLAND opened up the scoring after a Clemson fumble on the Clemson 32 on the first running play of the first period. The Tigers came back to tie and repeated this performance twice more before Hannigan kick. Hannigan tried a field goal from 40 yards out midway in the fourth period but it was short.

The wide-open offensive game featured passing by quarterbacks Dick Novak and Dick Shiner of Maryland and Joe Anderson and Jim Parker of Clemson. Fre qucntly, when the passers could not find receivers, they ran for key gains.

PRINCIPAL receivers were end Gary Collins and halfback Jim Davidson for Maryland and halfback Gary Barnes and end Tom King for Clemson. Clemson missed an excellent chance to put the pressure on the Terps with a fumble late in the period. Parker and Barnes combined on a run-lateral that carried to the Mary land 7, but Clemson fumbled into the end zone on the next play and Maryland fullback Joe Hrezo covered it.

Tar Heels Trip 'Pack CHAPEL HILL, N.C. WPV Halfback Gib Carson scored three touchdowns as North Carolina stormed from behind with a crushing offense to defeat North Carolina State 27-22 yesterday in an Atlantic Coast Conference football game. A capacity crowd of 44,000, largest here since 1948, saw the impressive Tar Heels spot State a 10-0 first period dge aid then roar back behind the running of fullback Bob Elliott and Carson. It was North Carolina's first season-opening victory since 1954. Carson, 192-pound senior of Freeport, dived over from the 1 in the second period.

Army Rolls Over Boston WEST POINT. N. Y. Wl Dick Eckert, 180-pound junior quar terback, passed and ran Army to a 31-7 victory yesterday over Boston University. His 57-yard sprint on a rollout In the second period was the longest gain of the day.

It set up the cadets second touchdown. Boston University salvaged some satisfaction by scoring in the second period at the end of a 72-vard march on Jack Far- land's 5-yard sweep first touchdown scored by the cos-tonians against Army in eight games.

Sooner or later, he'll make a mistake deep in his own territory and when he does, kill him. Get him down one touchdown and he gets frantic.

Let him come at you where you know he's coming and bloody his nose. Then, in desperation, he'll pile mistake on mistake and he's ours. Let him win the statistics, you win the game. Let him go home beating his chest and moaning that you were lucky. Sympathize as he sorrows over his fumbles, his intercepted passes, his blocked punts.

Don't smile until he's out the door. The system was hard to beat until widened goal posts made the field goal as big a factor in college football as it is in the professional game. Now you defend your 30, not your 20. Where before the other team might give you the ball at the 25-35 yard line in a futile effort for a first down, he now lines up on the last down remaining to him and kicks a field goal. So he misses, it's still as good as a punt.

You can't clamp on the goal line defense at the 30 without laying yourself wide open to a scoring pass. Results: A more interesting game. If, indeed, the field goal spotlights the talents of the kicker, what does Neyland's single-wing brand of football do for the tailback? Should you argue that in the interests of a true team effort, each player on the team should run every 11th play from the tailback slot. Is it true in field goal situations that linemen can go out for soft drinks while the kicker is busy spotlighting himself? Is there an offensive play in football which requires more rapport than that existing between the kicker and the brave soul who squats on his hunkers, oblivious to the charging enemy, and holds the ball? Neyland may oppose the field goal for the same reason he would oppose points based on first downs. The touchdown must remain rare and precious or college football will change.

In fact it has already changed. It has changed for the better. -AP Wirephoto Scores Hanover 20, Franklin IP Illinois Wesleyan 11, Lakt Ports) i Concordia River Forest 7, Culvtr Stockton Olivtt Adrian Bowling Grten 21, Dayton 11 Bradlty 14, North Michigan I Eureka Statt Procopius i Carroll It, North Park 11 Ohio Wesleyan 27, Capital 21 Pittsburg (Kan) 20, Missouri Mints I Grinntll 21, Monmouth 0 Cornell (Iowa) 20, Ctrleton It Millikin 12, Carthage 20 Wayne (Nab) It, Doant 7 St. Mary of tho Plaint 21, Tarklo 11 FAR WEST Los Angeles Stato 40, University of Mtxico Idaho Statt 27, Wtstern Statt (Colo) II Central Washington 11, Whitworth 14 Occidtntal 21, Cal Westtrn 1 SOUTHWEST Arkansas 4, Tulsa I Arkansas Scared By Tulsa FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.

McKinney skirted left end for three yards after the drive had been implemented by a 15-yard penalty against Tulsa for roughness.

They would regret the fumbles and the interceptions, pay tri bute to Florida State fine ef fort and let it go at that.

Among the players, it was not quite the same. Larry Libertore, the little Miami quarterback who had hoped to avenge a poor 1960 showing in this one, was silent. He was like a little boy who had searched beneath the Christmas tree and found it bare. Seminole halfback Keith Kin-derman had clapped Florida end Sam Holland on the shoulder as the two left the field and said, "You're a player." Holland sighed and retorted, "You guys went like crazy." Florida tackle Dickie Jones had assaulted his Gainesville prep teammate, quarterback Eddie Feely in full view of the 44,200 and drawn a 15-yard penalty. Now he didn't know why.

"I just did my best," he kept repeating. Miami guard Larry Travis regretted Gator mistakes. Holland thought, "We should be shot for that performance." Fullback Don Goodman mourned, "they didn't fumble even one time." And so it went. During the half, Graves told his Gators, "It's our football field and it's our football team. Now let's get out there and make it our football game." After the game he said, "We've got to get ready for our Southeastern Conference opener against Tulane.

We'll start our conference season unbeaten." But a nagging pain remained. "We're this kind of team," he said. "We've got to come up with the big play. Today, we couldn't do it."

Athletic Conference begins play next football season with nine teams, coachss in Pinellas will each have two open dates to fill against outside foes. Picking out opponents is already under way. Chamberlain High has already asked Earle Brown for a date against Clearwater. Brown, athletic director at CHS, would also like to get Manatee back on the Tornado schedule. Tarpon Springs will fill one of its open dates with nearby Gulf High of New Port Richey and the others probably, with a close Tampa Bay Conference school.

Mason, Bomber third baseman for the past five years, is a coach by profession on the staff at Clearwater High where he is head mentor for the Tornado baseball varsity. Over-cash, still another former Bomber hurler, has been out of softball several years now. The Bombers are faced with their stiffest fight for life in years. Howard Roth of St. Petersburg has asked to make a proposition to Clearwater city commission for use of Jack Russell Stadium as home base for a Florida State League baseball team.

He says he has the necessary financial backing just needs a park and would be a paying customer. It's pretty well considered that a baseball team in Clearwater would kill the Bomber By CHUCK ALBL'RY Of The Times Staff The line is forming at the right to fill the vacancy of Clearwater Bomber field manager and there's no lack of candidates, though some are being sponsored without permission and others might be reluctant to accept, if the job were offered. One current team member and four ex-Bomber stars are being mentioned. They are Joe Everett, Herb Dudley, John Hunter, Gerald Overcash and Doug Mason. Everett took over managing Clearwater Standard Oil in the last half of the recent season and the Oilers responded with a higher finish in the world tournament than the defending champion Bombers.

Joe was an all-world second baseman in 1953. Dudley is one of Softball's all-time pitching greats and at 42 is still able to hold his own program if the two sports tried to share fans and the stadium during the summer. Roth will likely talk informally with commission at its next work session, Oct. 12. Coach Earle Brown warned that manpower would be a serious problem with Clearwater High School's football squad this fall.

But few were prepared to see only 22 players suited up at Tampa for the game against Plant, Friday night. When three were injured and another banished from the game for fighting, the Tornadoes were left with only 18 able-bodied gridders for the final quarter. A slim sophomore class was one of the reasons for the small turnout this fall. The silver lining in this cloud seems to be a large ninth grade class and football squad, slated to enter CHS next fall.
