(AP) -Richard Wood, a stringbean third string quarterback, threw a touch- iown pass in a hectic fourth quar- er and Auburn extended its un- jeaten string to 20 games with a -5 football victory over Florida Saturday. Florida ran and passed with surprising ease against the nation's No. 1 defensive team but never could push over a touchdown.

The Gators got close enough for Billy Booker to kick a field goal late in the third quarter and they got a gift safety from Auburn late in the fourth quarter. But the crowd of 37,000 was disappointed, for Auburn, defending national champion and the fourth ranking team nationally, was determined to conquer its Florida field jinx. Auburn has won 19 and been tied once since its last defeat on Florida field in 1956. Florida tried two other field goals and lost its biggest chance with a fumble after a Mickey Ellenburg pass'to Dave Hudson carried the Gators within three yards of Auburn's goal midway in the final, period.

Florida's line--ranked third in the nation on rushing defense compared to Auburn's first place --smashed the Tigers', aside and broke up the' extra-point attempt. When a penalty set Auburn back to the one in the fourth quarter, Johnny Kern just took the ball from center and fell into the end zone for an automatic safety and two Florida points.

UP! Penn State University, entertained 56 high -school bands and the football team from Furman University. The State football team marched almost as far as the bandsmen in rolling up. an easy 36-0 victory. Some 23,000 spectators, watched the musical'show at the football parade of the home forces that got rolling at the start of period and moved steadily along to the final whistle. The Nittany Lions, starting the second period on the Furman 42, moved to the first score in, two minutes and 50 seconds.

The home forces marched twice more for scores before the half ended. They added a single tally in the third period and another in. the fourth before third string reserves took over. It was a contest spotted by pen alties and spectacular passes, Richie Lucas, the Lions' quarter back, found a new favorite receiver in big Maurs Schleicher, a former fullback converted to end. Lucas the daring young quarterback from Glassport, scored the first two touchdowns him self and pitched Dave driving Kasperian for another.

Wisconsin dominated the first half, scoring on an 80-yard drive and a field goal for a 9-0 intermission advantage. But Michigan State thrilled a homecoming crowd of 71,040 and a nation-wide television audience with a third-period revival on an 87-yard scoring march.

Upset Win Puts Orangemen in Bowl Contention SYRACUSE, N. Y. UH Chuck Zimmerman led a determined 80- yard march and scored with a minute and 26 seconds remaining yesterday to give Syracuse a 1613 upset victory over mighty Pittsburgh. The triumph raised the Orangemen high in the list of post-season bowl possibilities. Pitt, the team which knocked Army from the nation's No.

position with a 14-14 tie last week, made a desperate attempt to wrest the game from the fire in the fading, seconds. Desperate Pass The Panthers marched to the Syracuse 21, and then with eighl seconds and one play on the clock, Bill Kaliden shot a pass over the goal line intended for Ron. Delfine or Mike Ditka. Dan Fogerty, second string Syracuse quarterback, leaped high in the air and snatcheu the pass --and with it secured victory-as the final gun sounded. It was Kaliden, a whip-armed substitute for Pitt's famed Ivan (the'terrible) Toncic, who aroused the slumbering Panthers anc sparked them to two second half touchdowns and a temporary 13-10 lead.

Until then the only scoring in the rib-cracking defensive battle was a second period field goa' from the-19 by, Maryland quarterback Bob Rusevlyan. The winners of three games in five previous outings, outgained Maryland 222-145 yards in rushing and 47-7 in passing but lacked the clutch play in scoring territory. Maryland's line, brilliant even while the Terps were losing four of five earlier games, had thwarted threats which carried South Carolina to within 4 1 yards and 1 foot of the Maryland goal. Two pass interceptions, one by Rusevlyan to end a scoring bid by the Gamecocks with three minutes left, a South Carolina fum- le on the Maryland 21.

A bad pass from center by Keith on a fourth down punting play also, frustrated the Carolinians. "We finally got the breaks," said Coach Tommy Mont in summing up the Maryland victory. Warren Giese, coach of a South squad which last year lost to Maryland by the same 10-fi score, told his squad they had "nothing to be ashamed of." "We lost to a determined and Maryland team," he said. Even after they beat the Irish, Army coaches were oohing "about the personnel at Notre Dame: "Why, they've got five one of them good enough to play first string at Army" most, impressive thrower we've seen this fall is ND's George Izo.

Beats By Re Id, Goal, 10-8 DURHAM, W) Georgia Tech turned a first period break into a touchdown and sophomore halfback Tommy Wells booted a 14-yard last quarter field goal to give the Yellow Jackets a 10-8 victory over Duke Saturday. Wells' field goal came after he had missed on similar attempts from the Duke 14, 33, 34 and 9. Tech Scores A crowd of 30,000 saw Tech go ahead in the closing seconds of the first period when soph Marvin Tibbetts plunged over from the one on fourth down. The touchdown was set up on the seven when Duke halfback George Dutrow, back to punt on fourth down, fumbled but recovered on-the seven. Wells kicked the extra point.

Duke, harrassed by fumbles in the first half, finally broke.Tech's defensive shackles late in the fourth quarter. The Blue Devils swept 75 yards for a touchdown, with halfback Wray- Carlton going over from the two. Carlton passed to fullback Bob Cruikshank for two extra points. Duke, which now has a 3-4 season record, opened up a desperate passing attack in the closing 'seconds that carried to Tech's 32 before it was halted by a pass interception. The Blue Devils managed to get into Tech territory only once in the first half, so fierce was the Jacket defense, and on this occasion Carlton fumbled on Tech's 32 after taking a pass from'quar- terback Bob Brodhead.

Guard Buddy Pilgrim recovered for Tech. The hard, brusing battle turned out to be another thriller that has: characterized the long Duke- Tech series.

A few minutes later Georgia Tech drove from its 36 down to Duke's three as the quarter A third down play moved 11 co the one, and Wells again attempted a field goal. It wobbled to trie side. Nix was Georgia Tech's big gainer, with 45 yards in 12 carries for an average of 3.8 yards per try. Cal James was a close second 32 yards in 10 carries.
