1 Auburn Knocks BILL CARTER Malo Carried Out Assignments Better Than Blue Players Off Tech 14 12 For SEC Lead By MERCER BAILEY ATLANTA, Oct. 15 iff) A magnificent band of Auburn Plainsmen, led by Howell Tubbs an underrated quarterback, and Jimmy Phillips, a sensational sophomore upset unbeaten Georgia Tech 14-12 today to end a football famine of 14 years. No msjor breaks figured in the- 1 1 bsttle of Southeastern Conference --m MALE and Tilghman did an excellent Job of scouting each other. Each team knew what the other planned to do on practically every play. The difference, though, was that Male players did a much better Job of carrying out assignments.

Tllehman threw the ball eieht times and only one was caught! that oh an interception by Male.

The plays were executed Just as they had been at Owens-boro, but the Purples were waiting for them lrf this game and displayed an amazing pass defense. Tilghman couldn't run or pass with much success, but the big difference was In the line. There was no comparison on this particular night, mainly because the Blue linemen weren't following Instructions. On practically every Male play, two or three Tornado linemen went charging through the line, chasing the ballcarrier Instead of clogging the path and allowing the line-back to make the tackle. This went on for 43 minutes and Male had little trouble sending its backs through big holes for consistent galas: The Purples failed to gain on Vmlv of 50 running nlavs.

Auburn simply whipped Tech to the line and their fired up bscks more than matcnea Tech's talented crew. The victory put the once-tied winners Into the lead in the conference standings.

The winning touchdown came early in the final quarter with Tupp's passes eating up 71 of the 80 yards. Tubbs hit Phillips with throws of 7. 12 and 20 yards, the last play moving the Plainsmen to Techs 5. After fullback Joe Childress smacked the Tech line for four yards, Tubbs sneaked over. Childress kicked both conver sions and they proved the differ' ence, giving Auburn what looks now like a stranglehold on the SEC championship, Auburn scored first lste in the opening quarter, driving 61 yards in six plays with Alton Shell rac ing wide the final 7 while Chil dress faked beautifully up the middle; Tech scored in the second per iod on a 66-yard march with Wade Mitchell sneaking the final inches, but Mitchell's conversion was wide.

There are to many thing to con-alder and the writers frequently stray from the rules in making; their choice. A good example Is Billy Pierce of the White 8ox.

There probably Isnl a better pitcher in the big leagues today than Pierce. But I cant understand him being boomed for the MVP award. True, his earned run average of 17 wu by far the best in the majors. And so pitcher can equal the lefty lor touch luck. Most of his 10 losses were by one-run margins, many of them 1-0 and 2-1.

But the fact remains that he won only IS games for a pennant contender, one that finished third, only six games behind the winner. Now, take the Pirates' Bob Friend, who isnt even being considered for an award. He posted l- record for the pitiful Bucs, who won only 60 games all year. mend's ERA wss JS4, bint in -the. National League.

Records Indicate Friend was more valuable to the Pirates than Pierce wu to the White Sox. Each won fire more games than he lost The White Sox had an K-J mark, compared Jo. Pittsburgh's 60-M record. It probably. waant Pierce's fault that he wasn't winning more games.

His ERA shows he pitched well cut tie iuu nuoi wuiuuig uumwu Tommy Byrne did for the Yankees in the stretch. Pierce deserres a lot of credit, but cant see how he can be considered for the MVP award."

The umpire may a "game forfeited In favor of the opposing team when a team (b) employs tactics palpably designed to delay or shorten the -game:" There is nothing In the official rule book to prevent an umpire from forfeiting a game at any time.

But that wasn't reckoning with LSU's comeback In the final 13 minutes. For-three quarters the Tiger had moved the ball freely until the goal was to sight but the attack blunted. Vlnce Gonzales changed the picture with a fourf yard scoring march, and within two minutes Paul Zlegler, a guard. scooted 65 yards with a blocked punt for another.

BARBOUR ANN ARBOR. Mich, Oct. IS W) Top ranked Michigan lost some of its glitter to an Inspired Northwestern team today, but finally posted a 14-2 win to remain unbeaten. It was Michigan's fourth straight victory and second in the Big Ten but Its offense was Ineffective and its defence was strained by the enraged Wildcats. Northwestern kept Michigan's back to the wall through the sec- id andthlrdperlods.

Earl Johnson, plunged for the score from the Northwestern after halfback Terry Barr had driven from the Wildcat 12, quarterback Jim Maddock converted. Michigan insured its lead late In the fourth period when Barr sprinted 48 yards through the tiring Wildcats and Tony Branoff converted. Northwestern's only tally came In the second period when the hard-charging Wildcat line forced Branoff to fumble in his own end tone, where he recovered for a Northwestern safety.

Northwestern's halfbacks Jerry Weber and Oliver Llndborg drove the Wildcats once to the MichI gan and again to the Michigan 10 where the Wolverine defense stiffened and held. Michigan's first touchdown was typical of Its scoring this season. Tsckle Lionel Sirman recovered a fumble by Weber on the Wildcat 13.. In two plays Barr skipped 10 yards through Northwestern line and Johnson tallied from the 2. The easy touchdown seemed to make the Wolverines complacent and they were unable to move the ball any effective distance- until the fourth period.

Alter Jockeying for position on punts through the remainder of th first quarter. Northwestern, sparked by Weber running, ap plied the pressure to the Wolver lnes. They -gained 10 first down to Michigan's six and outgalned the Wolverines 173-168 in ysrdage. Without Terry Barr's 46-yard dash, which boosted his day's total yardage to 87, Michigan would have trailed In every department except scoring. Barr, running more than any other Wolverine, piled up more than half of Michigan's 150 yards on the ground.
