Figured to1 lose by at least a touchdown, Alabama astonished a sellout Tech Homecoming crowd of 44,726 by speedily and smartly turning two Tech fumbles and pass interception into two touchdowns and a field goal in 11 minutes. Tech reached the Alabama six twice in the second quarter and took three cracks the one early in the third period but each time the aroused Crimson Tide stymied its old Southeastern Conference football rival with an iron defense. Bowl Chances Killed The loss left Tech with five victories, three defeats and a tie and apparently killed Yellow Jackets' chances for a post season bid.

Halfback Duff Morrison set this. one up by intercepting a pass and racing 37 yards to the Tech 15. A second Tech fumble covered Milton Frank put Alabama on the Tech 22, and Jackson completed the first quarter rout by swinging wide to score from the five. Reaves kicked both conversions: Tech Freaks Score Tech drove 42 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. Halfback Calvin James, skirting end from the seven, fumbled into the end one and tackle Billy Shaw recovered for the score.

Tech tried and achieved its first two point conversion on a pass from quarterback Fred Braselton to end Gerald Burch. Tech gave its most inept ball handling performance of the season. The Yellow Jackets mishandled three pitchouts, bobbled kickoff, and gave up the ball three times to their fired-up foe deep In their own territory in the first quarter. The game had been billed as a punting duel between two of the nation's top kicking teams. But Alabama had no need for a punt until 22 minutes had elapsed, and there were only -three kicks -in -the first half.

No Quick Kicks The teams had been two of the busiest exponents of the quick kick in the nation, but neither used this maneuver. Jackson, a clever faker at quarterback, gave Tech trouble with runs from the split-T option. His sparkling, 13-yard scamper on fourth down tor the Tech seven preceded the second Alabama touchdown. Jackson and Morrison were Bama's top runners. Halfback Floyd Faucette, frequently running like an angry stallion, kept the Tech offense from falling apart.

His hard rushing, often a strictly individual effort, helped Tech to the Alabama one after intermission. But the other Tech backs couldn't get it across. Reaves and guard Don Cochran anchored a stone wall Tide defense. Tech's passing game, with quarterback Walter Howard throwing mainly, to Jack Rudolph, helped usher the Yellow Jackets to the Alabama six on two other occasions. However, a bad pitchout blunted one drive, and Bobby Smith's pass interception stopped the other.

(AP) Florida poured all but the star players of its de football onto the field against Arkansas State today and the reserves routed the undermanned Indians 51-7. It was the first time since the season opening 34-14 victory over Tulane that many of the reserves saw action and they made the most of it. The crowd of 20,000, knowing Florida could win about as it pleased, whooped it up for the big plays by both teams. Eight different Florida players scored a touchdown each and five fullbacks did most of the ball carrying. Bill Booker, halfback who has been injured most of the season, was top scorer with a touchdown and three extra point kicks.

Arkansas State made one bid early in the quarter. The Indians' quarterback, Bill Caldwell, punted to the Florida 4 and after a short return kick Caldwell conducted 33 yard scoring march. He threw 22 yards to Don Riggs for the score and Lamar. Lee kicked an extra point that tied the score 7-7. But Florida bad just too much power and depth for Arkansas State.

Sonny Giles sprung loose on a 54-yard run only a minute after the visitors scored. Florida got another quick touchdown before halftime when Caldwell made a bad pitchout to Roy Nelson who tumbled at his 7. Jon MacBeth plunged to the touchdown that gave Florida a 19-7 lead at halftime. Arkansas State 0 7 0 7 Florida 0 19 14 18-51 Army Leaps Over Villanova Eleven Dawkins Scores Trio Of Touchdowns WEST POINT, N. Y.

(AP) Pete Dawkins, at his brilliant best, wound up his playing career in Army's Michie Stadium Saturday by scoring three touchdowns and pacing the unbeaten Cadets to a 26-0 victory over stubborn VillanoVa: It was the last home game for the Army football captain: and mainly because of his efforts the Cadets will go up against Navy two weeks from now undefeated for the first time in eight years. In 1950 Army had won straight before losing to Navy. This season only a 14-14 tie with Pitt mars the record. The speedy, bard running Dawkins broke the game open with an 90 yard return of Jim Grazione's punt in the second quarter. He scored a second time on a 46-yard pass from Joe Caldwell and made his third touchdown on a fivevard run after setting it up with a 48-yard pass play with Caldwell pitching.

The fourth Army score was made by sub halfback Gil Roesler on a four yard drive off tackle after most of Army regulars had, retired. Dawkins' performance, his second best scoring feat of the season, kept a capacity crowd of 520 enthralled through a damp, drizzly afternoon which became so dark the lights were turned on early in the third quarter, It was all the more remarkable because the other half of Army's one-two ground-gaining team, Bob Anderson, was shaken up by a tackle in the second quarter and did not return to the game, Villanoa 0 0 000 00000 000 00000 0 0 Army 0 13 6 7-26 Pro Lions Engage San Francisco Today DETROIT -The Detroit Lions now believe they can come through with another strong finish and barge into the thick of the National Football League race. They have a good chance to prove their victory over the Cleveland Browns last Sunday was no fluke when they engage the San Francisco 49ers Sunday in Briggs Stadium. The Lions will be at their best, physically, for this pivotal contest. A victory could help turn near-disaster into success and the Lions could bring their record up to 3-4-1 by beating the West Coast team that -jolted them 24-21 two weeks ago.

Purdue Rolls On As Northwestern Bows To Errors Boilermakers Laced In 23-6 Game By JOE MOOSHIL Associated Press Sports Writer EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) Purdue's powerfully balanced Boilermakers junked Northwester's hopes for a lofty Big Ten finish by blasting the once smooth-working Wildcats 23-6 Saturday. A crowd of 38,421 had hardly settled in its seats when Purdue recovered a Northwestern fumble on the first play from scrimmage and then counted on a 19-yard touchdown pass fron. Ross Fichtner to Tom Frankhauser to go ahead to stay.

The Boilermakers never missed their No. 1 fullback, injured Bob Jarus, as Len Wilson, Tom Barnett, Jim Redigner and Jack Laraway functioned perfectly behind a line that wouldn't make any mistakes. Two of Purdue's touchdowns resulted from recovered fumbles while the Boilermakers played the entire first half in Northwestern territory in running up a 21-0 halftime lead. Not until the third quarter was Northwestern able to move into Purdue territory, and that resulted from a 14-yard punt return by Ron Burton to the Boilermaker 49. Northwestern's sophomore, Dick Thornton, simply couldn't get through Purdue's web-like detense.

He attempted 14 passes, completed four, and had three of them intercepted. Meanwhile, Fichtner, Bob, Spoo and Bernie Allen displayed steady, if not brilliant, quarterbacking to keep the Boilermaker attack in high gear through most of the game even though Purdue failed to score anything more than 2 points on a safety in the second half. Northwestern's only score came with eight seconds remaining when Chip Holcomb hit Ray Purdin with a 65-yard scoring pass. The victory was Purdue's sixth against one loss and one tie, and gave the Boilermakers a 3-1-1 record in the Big Ten. The loss was Northwestern's third in six conference and made the Wildcat season record 5-3.

Ohio then slashed toward another touchdown but after reaching a fourth and two situation on the Iowa 2, Kilgore returned to the game and booted a field goal from the 8. Whatever hopes the sellout Iowa crowd of 58,623 had died as the ball sailed between the posts for a 38-28 score with only 2 minutes and 12 seconds left in the game.
