Jordan criticized general execution, noting the Tigers had worked three days in shorts to develop execution and timing, but "you couldn't tell it south" by Auburn defensive mastermind Paul Davis. From Grand Bay, he is a two year veteran. Jordan said the Tigers practice session was slowed because several players had a virus.

"We only had four running backs," he said, "barely had enough to work, certainly not enough to work effectively."

"Mental lapses probably had a lot to do with it." Despite Jordan's gloomy post-practice observations, there were two bright spots. "We couldn't help noticing Tommy Yearout's play today," he said, "and Bobby Strickland came up with several good plays as he is subject to do." Yearout, a junior tackle from Birmingham, started the 1969 season as an offensive guard but moved to defense in mid-season.

He had excellent games against Florida, Alabama and Georgia. Strickland, a senior, is rated the "best linebacker in the deep By DONALD ELMORE Constitution Sports Correspondent AUBURN, a whole lot lacking," said Auburn's Ralph Jordan Wednesday after his Tigers worked their second day in pads. "We didn't show a lot of enthusiasm," he said, "and we didn't do a lot of things right. We may not have put much into it because we were tired, but that's no excuse." Auburn's first offensive and defensive units were pitted against each other in pads for the first time this fall and Jordan said, "At best it was spotty. Dies Edgemon season.

He is still in grave DOME AMP AUTO CENTER condition." At 9 p.m. EDT, hospital officials said there still was no change, that Lombardi's condition remained grave. Lombardi, now 57, came to Washington in 1969 after a year of imposed retirement following nine years and five world cham pionships with Green Bay.

Hunt, who owns the champion Kansas City Chiefs in pro football and controlling interests in baseball and soccer enterprises, bankrolls World Championship Tennis, which controls all of the leading professional players. It's Hunt's plan to stage 20 tournaments, in the United States and abroad, each with a $50,000 prize list and a $10,000 award to the winner.

Most of the events would be in the United States. Each tournament would be limited to 32 men, with no women's division. The entry list would include both Hunt's imposing list of contract professionals plus leading independent pros, such as Arthur Ashe, Cliff Richey, Stan Smith and Clark Graebner. Lamar currently has 24 pros under contract, including Rod Laver, rated the world's best and leading money winner with Ken Rosewall, Roy Emerson, Tony Roche, John Newcombe and Tom Okker. Under the planned format, perhaps only the top 15 or 20 of these would compete in the million-dollar series with some of the lesser lights on the payroll, such as Bill Bowrey of Australia, Pierre Barthes of France and Ron Holmberg of the United States, moving over to the Grand Prix circuit when there is a tournament conflict.

"Lamar is going to have his cake and eat it, too," commented one tennis personality. The. Grand Prix consists of a series of tournaments under which players receive points for winning and placing in the late rounds of fixed events. Those with the higher point totals compete in a tournament at the end of the season for big purses.

Lombardi did not visit the Redskins' training camp in Carlisle; and his only appearance at team preseason activities was at the rookie game against Baltimore when he sat in the press box. Lombardi saw the Redskins on television in three of their four preseason exhibition games. He also went to one meeting in New York during the owners-players pension squabble in July.

His wife told Washington Post columnist Bob Addie that Lombardi overtaxed himself on the trip. In Tampa, where the Redskins are preparing for a Saturday exhibition game with the Miami Dolphins, a team spokesman said the players were told of Lombardi's grave condition at a meeting Tuesday night. mm Bosox, Tigers Split reined by John Simpson won two of the required three heats and swept to double second-generation victory in the $143,630 Hambletonian Trot Classic. 650-13 BlftckwaU Tubeless Plus Federal Excise Tax of 1.66 per tire and 2 smooth tires off your car.
