(AP) Louisiana State slapped a radar defense on Kentucky's aerial game in the second half Saturday night and the 10th ranked Bayou. Bengals defeated the Wildcats 24- 14 in a Southeastern Conference football game. I LSU plugged all the holes after intermission and limited Kentucky quarterback Jerry Woolum to three completions in eight tosses for 9 yards during the second half. Woolum had connected on 11 of 14 for 185 yards in the first half. LSU chalking up its fourth victory in five games, rolled to two quick touchdowns in the second period.

Quarterback Lynn Amedee, who completed 7 of 11 passes for 113 yards, tossed 2 yards to end Danny Neumann for the first tally and halfback Bo Campbell raced 59 yards down the sidelines for the second Tiger touchdown. But the Wildcats roared right back with Woolum completing a picture pass to end Tom Hutchin son on a 77-yard scoring play and halfback Bill Ransdell plunged 1-yard to cap a 58-yard march for the second Kentucky touchdown. Halfback Wendell Harris put LSU into a 17-14 halftime lead when he booted a 25-yard field goal seconds before the threw the unfortunate Auburn quarterback for a nine-yard loss thwart the other drive. Two fumbles by Tech quarterback Stan Gann played large parts the fierce hassle. He bobbled at the Auburn 17 in the first quarter, and Auburn tackle Winky Giddens claimed the ball to stop the first deep penetration by Tech.

Gann fumbled again in the fourth quarter. And this set up the Auburn touchdown. Auburn center Wayne Frazier made the jarring tackle and also recovered. Auburn scored in four plays. A 38-yard burst by sophomore fullback Larry Rawson positioned the Tigers for the Hunt-Burson payoff pass.

Billy Williamson, Tech's top halfback, sat out the game with an injured ankle. Replacements Auer and Zollie Sircy gained 45 yards in 11 carries, however, and Sircy picked up 22 yards in three car- ries during the touchdown drive. A I1C UlUllOl CIUC1JUCUM.C VYCU 376.

Only records set during the race itself are officially registered. Hill, in a 3-liter Ferrari, covered one lap of the 4.9-mile cir-, cuit in an average speed of 98.4 miles per hour. He will team in the race with Joakim Bonnier of Sweden.

The official lap record of 97 m.p.h. was set last year by German racer Wolfgang von Trips, who was killed last month at Monza. By VERNON BUTLER Associated Press Sports Writer ATLANTA (AP) Auburn lost a two-point conversion gamble in the fourth quarter Saturday and Georgia Tech won a 7-6 triumph in bruising Southeastern Conference football game. Almost nine minutes playing time remained in the jarring collision of the defense-minded dixie powers when Auburn missed connections on a pass that would have given it an 8-7 victory and its third in a row over Tech's eighth-ranked Yellow Jackets. Quarterback Bobby Hunt's two-point try sailed over the head of halfback Don Machen in the end zone seconds after Hunt had hit halfback Jimmy Burson with a six yard touchdown pass.

Bobby Solomon, who was a Georgia Tech standout in Saturday's victory over Auburn is a former Decatur High School football star. Tech took a 7-0 lead in the second quarter when it drove 60 yards in 11 ground plays. Fullback Mike McNames, who gouged 27 of those yards out of a furious Auburn line, scored from the two, and sophomore Bily Lothridge added the game-winning conversion. Dave Watson, lineman of the week against Duke, led another tremdcndous effort by the outweighed Tech line that spelled the difference between the two old SEC rivals. The 210-pound Watson, guard colleagues Harold Ericksen, Jack Moss and Rufus Guthrie, end Bobby Solomon and tackles Ed Griffin and Larry Stallings were standouts as blockers and defenders.

Auburn drove to Tech's 17 in the second quarter, but the 180-pound Solomon intercepted a Hunt pass at the eight to kill the threat The aroused Tigers also clawed their ay to the Tech 32 and the 21 in separate third quarters drives.

By JIM HACKLEMAN Associated Press Sports Writer San Francisco's supercharged 49ers, the power-running Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia's air-minded defending champion Eagles and the defense-keyed New York Giants all have victory No. 5 as a target Sunday in National Football League action. San Francisco (4-1) goes up against the Bears (3-2) at Chicago, Green Bay (4-1) meets the Twins (1-4) at Minnesota, Philadelphia (4-1) plays the Cowboys (3-2) at Dallas and the Giants (4-1) are at home after a 4-game winning streak on the road. The Giants play the Los Angeles Rams (1-4).

In other Sunday games, it's the Cleveland Browns (3-2) vs. the Steelers (1-4) at Pittsburgh, the Baltimore Colts (2-3) vs. the Lions (3-2) at Detroit and the St. Louis Cardinals (2-3) vs. the Redskins (Q-5) at Washington.

The 49ers have muscled their way into a share of the Western Division lead with the Packers on their triple-triggered shotgun offense and a sturdy defense. Bill Kilmer, who quarterbacks the spread formation attack on a ro tating basis with John Bordie and Bobby Waters, has spearheaded the 49ers into league leadership in rushing and total offense. The 49ers, also first in over-all defense, are facing a Bear outfit which has won three of its last four. The Packers again appear the team to beat in the West, with By THOMAS Z. ATKESON You may be as surprised as we were to learn that jellyfish are found locally.

Recently, State Conservation Officer Mac Smith received a report that there were jellyfish in a water-filled quarry on the Hotchkiss property just south of Courtland and near the Courtland-Moulton road. He relayed the report to State Fishery Biologist Clarence White, and the two men investigated. The jellyfish were there and Clarence collected several. They were the typical umbrella shape of the salt-water jellyfish, almost transparent and small, 'ranging from a half inch to an inch in diameter. Those who touch sea jellyfish usually receive nettle-like stings, but Clarence says he felt no stings from handling thfse freshwater jellyfish and that swimmers have used the quarry without discomfort.

Actually, it seems that fresh-water pellyfish are not really rare, but are sometimes found in still, warm pools throughout the Southeast. These should not be confused with the globular masses of translucent jelly, usually about the size and shape of grapefruit, sometimes seen float-nig in Wheeler reservoir or stranded along its shoreline. The latter, are Bryzoans, groups of tiny colonial animals, whereas each jellyfish is a single individual. Sunset Saturday, October 28, marks the end of the first portion of Alabama's split dove season. It does not reopen until December The Wheller Refuge squirrel hunt ended yesterday.

Better fill in the questionnaire on the bottom of your permit, send or bring this to the Refuge office and stay off that goat list. Saturday, the Morgan County Snortsmen's and Conservation Association will sponsor its first public turkey shoot of the fan. as usual, it will be held on the western side of Highway 31, just south of the Sanatorium. Shots cost a dnllar each, but shells are furnish ed, and there is a dressed-turkey prize for the winner of eacn 10-shot round. Waterfowl regulations make it necssary for hunters to know the exact times of sunrise and sunset.

If you would like a handy pocket card giving a table of the official times of sunrise and sunset throughout the waterfowl season along with a quick summary of the opening and closing dates of the various hunting seasons, bag limits, you can have one for the asking at Eddie Sandlin's Sporting Goods Store, located near the Flint creek bridges on Highway 67, or at the Steakhouse, in Decatur. There were four reports of broods of the new Iranian pheasants seen on or near the Swan Creek Hunting Area during the summer. Conservation Department employees feel that these reports were sufficiently well-spaced jf OUTDOORS league rushing leader Jim Tay lor, all-purpose Paul Hornung and smooth-passing Bart Starr pacing a high-geared offense. The Twins, who made their NFL debut last month by stunning the Bears 37- 13, have dropped four straight since and toppling potent Green Bay probably is out of their reach. Sonny Jurgensen, the question- mark replacement for Norm Van Brocklin this year for the Eagles, is doing the job, period.

If Philadelphia's ground game picks up and its defensive secondary gets healthtier, the Eagles would be in, a prime position for a run at a second straight playoff. At long last, the Giants have some lightning on offense to go with their magnificent defense. Ex-Ram Del Shofner is an elusive long gainer on passes and rookie Bob Gaiters, shifted from fullback to half, has stamped himself a breakaway running threat. The Browns, again expected to be the class of the East and again finding the going rough, have to face the Steelers without the Steelers without the NFL's leading passer, Milt Plum. He's out with a thumb injury.

Neither the Colts nor the Lions are doing as well as expected, and their game shapes up as a collision between two clubs spoiling for victory. With backs John Crow and Prentice Gautt returned to the lineup after injuries, the Cardi nals should deal the winless, punchless Redskins their 14th sue cessive loss. in time and distance that they represent four separate broods, not duplications. If four broods of young were seen, there were undoubtedly others, so perhaps the birds will prove able to reproduce themselves, and we may yet have pheasant hunting in the Tennessee Valley some of these days.

It was one of the two real scor ing opportunities the Gators had. The otherthreat came in the open ing period when Bill Cash's field goal try from the Commodore 22 was wide. Vanderbilt threatened several times but the Florida defense rose to the occasion each time. The victory gave Florida a 3-1-1 record for the season left the Commodores with a 2-3 record. It was the second conference victory for Florida and the second SEC loss for the Commodores.

Florida gained freely though the Vanderbilt line for most of the game until it passed the 50 yard line. Fullback Don Goodman ripped off numberous gains of 10 yards and more. Vanderbilt's quarterback, Hank Lesesne, kept the 18,000 chilled spectators in suspense with long passes which gained well until he approached the Gator goal line. Grady Wade's try for a field goal from the Florida 45 was the nearest approach to a Vanderbilt score but it fell short at the goal line.

Sophomore quarterback Larry Rakestraw sealed State's doom with a 38-yard touchdown pass to end Ray Clark.

Durward Penning ton kicked his 18th consecutive point after touchdown to tie an SEC record. His 21-yard field goal in the second quarter was the margin of victory. Georgia dominated every quarter but the third when State punched over its touchdown. The payoff play was a 12-yard pass from quarterback John Correro to halfback Hal Green. Fullback Bill Godfrey was the sparkplug of the Georgia back-field.

His pile driving charges got crucial yardage when the Bulldogs needed them the most. Two key defensive gestures by the Bulldogs killed Mississippi States's hopes for a comeback. Bill McKenny intercepted a Correro pass deep In Georgia territory to halt one State drive and Jake Saye punted out on the state 2 late in the game.

Rebs Stomp Tulane 41-0 By JAMES SAGGUS JACKSON, Miss.

(AP)-Mighty Mississippi's power packed offense and alert defensive play over whelmed Tulane 41-0 Saturday night as 40,000 chilled fans saw the second-ranked Rebels score in every quarter of the Southeastern Conference game. Four of the six touchdowns followed fumble recoveries and two came on short drives. Tulane's pourous pass defense kept the Greenies in trouble much of the night. Ole Miss scored twice in the first quarter, twice in the second and once in each of the last two. The touchdown parade extended Mississippi's unbeaten streak to 20 straight games and kept the Rebels in a tie for the SEC lead.

Ole Miss starters drove 32 yards after a Tulane fumble in the opening minutes to put the Rebels ahead for good. Quarterback Doug Elmore engineered the march and accounted for 18 yards with a pass to Arty Doty to the two. Fullback Billy Ray Adams smashed over from the one. Reserves played much of the time after the opening score. Most electrifying Rebel TD was a frenzied 59-yard sprint up the middle by Adams for the third Rebel score.

Reed Davis, third string sophomore end, took passes of 28 and 25 yards from second string quarterback Glynn Griffing, while reserve fullbacks Fred Roberts and Buck Randall scored once each on short smashes. Ferguson Leads OSU By Wildcats EVANSTON. 111. (AP) Ohio State, fired by bull-like Bob Ferguson, subdued stubborn North western 10-0 on a field goal and quarterback Bill Minkowski's 20-yard touchdown run with two minutes left in a Big Ten football game Saturday. It was Ferguson's 21-yard smash to Northwestern's 18 which led to Mrukowski's scoring dash on a keeper with 2:94 left.

And it was Ferguson's 38-yard run which set up a 24-yard field goal by Dick Van Raaphorst the second period. Ohio State 0 3 0 7-10 Northwestern 0 0 0 00 Replacement Parti Guaranteed 10 Years!
