Avenging an earlier 94-93 loss, the Hawks tore open the contest in the third period when they finally found their shooting eyes and roared to a sixth con- It was beautfiul. Bill Bridges, held to seven points in a low-scoring 4542 first half, moved inside the final 24 minutes and added 17 more points against an outmuscled Jerry Lucas to finsh with a game-high 24 points. Burly Bill also had 17 rebounds.

Lou Hudson, scoring just 19 points, came up woith seven of 16 Atlanta steals. But the basketball talk of the town had to be Jim Davis and Joe Caldwell. Davis, going against Nate (The Great) Thurmond, easily held his own and this seldom happens against the San Francisco center. Davis contributed 18 points, 20 rebounds, seven assists and four blocked shots to nullify a Thurmond effort of 21 points, 23 rebounds See BRIDGES, Page 6-H Wake Forest 23 Va. 21 Fla.

V-i By BILL WHITLEY Atlanta Journal-Constitution Staff Writer AUBURN, Ala. The Auburn Tigers met a proud but sorely under-manned Mississippi State squad here Saturday afternoon and after four quarters of SEC football left the Bulldogs from Starkville a battered and bleeding mass of confusion, 52-13. The score is surprising, you may say. But if you were among the 47,500 standing-room-only crowd on this Home-, coming Day in Cliff Hare Stadium you would'naVe prised that the Auburn margin wasn't greater.

For Auburn is that one of the powers in the country as its 11th national ranking testifies. And if Georgia and Alabama, the Tigers' remaining opponents, don't have the word they had better come to play with everything tightened gafrfthe old grads were treated with victory, the 17th 'in a row under the leadership of Ralph (Shug) Jordan, on Homecoming and as if not to cause any worry, the Tigers ended the contest in the first four minutes and 13 seconds of play by jumping out to a 17-point lead. Again it was a day of records for Auburn, now a prime target for somebody's bowl with a 6-2 jecord. The Tigers, who gave Florida's sophomore quarterback John Reaves fits last week with interceptions, picked off four more off State's Tommy Pharr and in so doing set an SEC mark of 30 for a season. THE 52 POINTS also gave Auburn an all-time nigh scoring mark for a season under Jordan, pushing the total to 298 and only needing 21 more points to be the leader in the history of the school.

But the points this day were mainly a product of the Tiger defense as interceptions by Bobby Woodruff and Scott Black-man set up touchdowns and Larry Willingham carried his steal 24 yards himself for one Auburn score. Tiger scores also came by way of a blocked punt by Dick Ingwersen with Don Webb picking it up on the Bulldogs one-yard line and stepping across the goal. Webb, of course was credited with a 30-yard punt return for the score. And still another outstanding defensive play set up another Auburn tally when tackle Pete Pummer pounced on a State fumble on the Bulldog 14 and two plays later quarterbacK Staff Photos Marion Johnson See AUBURN, Page 12-H Carries One Georgia Player oh Back and Scores; Florida's First TD 4V Vjaft. ,4 4( A iAi, 0 VkA Jh.
