(AP) --Tailback James Jones scored four touchdowns and passed for a fifth Saturday as Mississippi State stunned 15th-ranked Florida State 55-27. The triumphant Bulldogs capitalized on the passing of quarterback Dave Marler to set up every score. His pinpoint accuracy, combined with the speed of Jones and tailback Len Copeland kept Florida State's Seminole off balance most of the game. FSU showed only one offensive splurge when the Seminoles rallied in the second quarter to overcome a 14-7 deficit and take a 21-14 intermission lead.

Wildcats' Change Stuns im at mw ww a By ROBERT SHAW Associated Press Writer OXFORD, Miss. (AP) Larry Carter exploded 73 yards on a punt return for a third-quarter touchdown Saturday that propelled the Kentucky Wildcats to a 24-17 victory over the Mississippi Rebels in a Southeastern Conference football game. Carter's thunderbolt arose during a last-half Kentucky uprising led by freshman quarterback Larry McCrimmon, who came off the bench to throw two touchdown passes that wiped out a 10-0 Mississippi lead and ran the Wildcats' record to 2-2-1. McCrimmon hit wide receiver Felix Wilson on a 26-yard scoring pass to start the rally in the third period and added a 14-yard pass to tight end Jim Campbell following a pass interception with six minutes left in the fourth quarter. Freshman Tommy Griggs added a 19-yard field goal in the third quarter for Kentucky after nose guard Chuck Jones' recovery of a fumble punt at the Rebel 15.

Mississippi, dropping to 2-3, battled back in the fourth period on Roy Coleman's one-yard run, climaxing a 73-yard drive. The Rebels were threatening at the Wildcat 19 in the last minute when Kentucky's Greg Motley choked off the threat by recovering Freddy Williams' fumble at the nine. Mississippi had scored in the first quarter on freshman quarterback John Fourcade's 5-yard dash and Hoppy Langley's 27-yard field goal. With the score 16-10 early in the fourth mr r- mr mm AP Wirtpholo TWO YANKEES ON FIRST DURING CONFUSION Jackson, Piniella watch as Umpire Pulli explains call Yanks Tie It NEW YORK (AP) Reggie Jackson told Lou Piniella to lay off Bob Welch's high fast ball. Piniella didn't, and, as a result, the World Series is tied at two games apiece after still another comeback by the New York Yankees.

Piniella was the first batter faced by Welch, the Los Angeles Dodgers' smoke-throwing 21-year-old rookie sensation. Welch entered Saturday's game in the eighth inning with the score tied 3-3. The count went to 3-1 and Piniella swung at the next four pitches, fouling off three before popping out. "I thought I had some good swings against him," said Piniella, the Yankees' leading hitter during the regular season with a .314 average. "But after I popped out, Reggie told me not to swing at the high pitches." So what did Piniella do when he came up again in the bottom of the 10th after Welch walked Roy White with one out and Jackson drilled a two-out single through the right side? The first pitch was a high fast ball, out of the strike zone.

Piniella swung and missed. "It was a bad pitch, up and in," he said. "Welch throws as hard as anybody in baseball and I was anxious, but I'm an anxious hitter. Pitchers don't have to throw me too many strikes." Welch's next and last pitch was another high fast ball, also out of the strike zone. Piniella swung and didn't miss.

What helped get the Yankees into the 10th after Reggie Smith put the Dodgers on top with a three-run homer in the fifth inning was a key play in New York's two-run sixth. With two runners aboard, Los Angeles shortstop Bill Russell dropped a line drive by Piniella He stepped on second to force Jackson but his throw to first hit Jackson and rolled away, allowing Thurman Munson to score from second with a key run. "When Lou hit the ball, it looked like a hit to me, so my instinct was to go to second," Jackson said. "Then, when it hit Russell's glove, my instinct was to go back to first. Then he dropped it and I didn 't know where to go.

He threw it right in my road and I just froze. No, I didn't throw my hip out." Oh? A television replay showed otherwise, according to NBC-TV announcer Joe Garagiola. "I won't comment any further," Jackson said. "I'm not stupid enough to talk about it. It hit me on the thigh.

What else do you want to talk about? Call Angers Dodgers NEW YORK AP) The Los Angeles Dodgers remained incensed long after the game after umpire's call in the sixth inning permitted a New York Yankees run to score. The Yankees went on to win 4-3 in the 10th inning Saturday to square the best-of-seven Series at two victories apiece. Lou Piniella drove in the winning run with a single off a high fastball from 21-year-old Bob Welch, the hero of the second game. Piniella also was involved in the sixth-inning fracas but it was a hip movement by Reggie Jackson that brought the complaints. Jackson had driven in Roy White and was on first base with Thurman Munson at second when Piniella lined to shortstop Bill Russell near second base.

Russell dropped the ball and then tagged second, forcing Jackson.

He hit a 27 yard throw to Copeland in the fourth drive and his touchdown throw to McDole accounted for all the yardage in State's fifth score. Mississippi State ran up a school record of 5 yards in demolishing Florida State, and Coach Bob Tyler said the triumph proved "football is 100 percent mental as well as physical." Tyler explained the comeback this way: "The offense decided to quit stopping itself. The defense worked on some FSU alignments." Rebs -sN 8 as quarterback Dane McDaniel who came in last week to lead Southern to a 22-17 victory over MSU directed the first USM score.

Southern Mississippi went ahead 7-0 when McDaniel pitched out to sophomore back Chuck Cook for the six-yard touchdown run, ending a 65-yard march that lasted 16 plays. Two plays after a separated shoulder sidelined McDaniel with 5:03 on the first-quarter clock, reserve quarterback Hammond threw a 51-yard scoring bomb to sophomore tight end Marvin Harvey, who juggled the ball momentarily and outraced the Pirate defense for the 14-0 Southern lead.

But on fourth and inches, the Kentucky line held Perry for no gain. Shortly afterward, safety Rick Hayden intercepted Fourcade's pass at the Mississippi 26 to set up McCrim-mon's touchdown throw to Campbell.

The Rebels had the stadium record crowd of 38,290 roaring on their two late desperation drives. The first resulted in Coleman's plunge after his 27-yard pass to Curtis Weathers to the Wildcat one. The second, set up by Mike Fountain's recovery of McCrimmon's fumble at the Kentucky 48, gave the Rebels their last, unsuccessful, bid. McCrimmon came into the game in the third quarter in relief of starter Mike Deaton. Fourcade, who played when starter Bobby Garner was shaken up on the Rebels' second offensive play, got a touchdown on Ole Miss' second possession.

That came after Fourcade's 12-yard keeper and a 20-yard pass interference call against Kentucky put the ball on the five. The Rebels scored on Langley's 27-yard field goal after Williams' 11-yard draw and Fourcade's passes of 10 yards to Curtis Weathers and seven yards to Williams. Ole Miss had one other big first-half threat, moving to the Kentucky ten. But Hayden jumped on Williams' fumble at the eight to kill the opportunity.

The Bears had poor field position all night with their only break coming late in the fourth quarter on a 36-yard pass play from Beau Barksdale to Edsel Brown. That play took them to within five yards of pay dirt but Southwest could not punch it in and turned the ball over to Co-Lin.

The only other Southwest threat came later in the fourth quarter and left the Bears unable to score from within the Wolves 36 yard line. Southwest now drops to 2-5 for the year and plays East Mississippi next Saturday night on campus as the Bears celebrate their 60th homecoming. Grambling, ITTA BENA, Miss. (AP) -Mississippi Valley's defense held firm at the one-yard line Saturday on two runs in the closing seconds to preserve a scoreless tie with unbeaten Grambling in Southwestern Athletic Conference football. Grambling, now 4-0-1 for the season, had the ball on third down at the one and twice handed off to fullback Ed Hall.

The three-point play was the only scoring of the second half, which was highlighted by some outstanding USM defensive play.

The Southern defense, known as the "Nasty Bunch," after limiting state rival Mississippi State to 29 total yards in the second half here last week, gave up only 71 yards to East Carolina in the second half to raise the Golden Eagle record to 4-2 over the year.
