THRU THI BIRMINGHAM NIWS SUNDAY, SIPTEMBBR 16, 1954 Ole Miss romps; Statistics Rebs speed by Kentucky 28-9 BY ALP VAN HOOSE, New sport writer CRUMP STADIUM, Memphis, Sept. 25 The Ole Miiss Rebels looked every speedy inch a favored one to win their SEC championship here Saturday night in downing a Kentucky team, 28-9, before 28,545 folks. In fact, the Rebs already have a title. In spotting the Wildcats a 3-0 lead and then winning go presses MW Bears eke out by 25-19 count DV BADNPY BALLARD NASHVILLE, Sept. 25 (IP) The highly favored Baylc Gears had to get up from the turf twice Saturday nig! to squeak out a 25-19 decison over Vanderbilt in thei first college football game ever played at night here.

I 1 SUV. .1... In 11 the first half decided the game, as matters turned out With less than five seconds to play, Bobby Jones fires a long pass to Henry Gremminger, lanky Baylor end, who slithered past half a dozen tacklers to complete a 66-yard scoring play. The Commodores took command from the opening whistle and marched 81 yards in 11 plays from the to score, with Charlie Horton scoring and Bobby Goodall converting. Buck Watson, Vandy tackle, recovered a Baylor fumbte on the visitors 42 to set up another threat.

It was stopped on the Bears eight, so Goodall kicked a field goal from there. Dupre was the big wheel in Baylors first scoring drive, which carried 56 yards, Dupre scoring from the nine. An intercepted pass started another scoring surge a few minutes later from the Baylor 46, with Dupre scoring. THE LONG ARCHING pass Baylor, tied for 10th place in The Associated Press weekly poll, saw a surprisingly alert Commodore team pile up a 10-0 first period lead. THE BEARS came back with two quick touchdowns, one late in the opening period and another in the second, to go ahead 13-12 after Vanderbilt added a safety.

A third touchdown, scored in the final second of the half, gave the Bears an apparent safe margin of 19-12. But the Commodore struck back quickly with another touchdown and an extra point to put the game into a 19-19 deadlock at the end of the third quarter. The Bears winning touchdown was racked up late in the fourth period to climax a 41 yard drive. L. G.

Dupre scored two of Baylors touchdowns but it was Bobby Jones who sneaked over with the deciding points. ACTUALLY, whe final play of Oakie Ags from Jones to Gremminger finished the first half scoring. Vanderbilt tied it up early in the third period, taking over on the Baylor 27 on a fumble. Horton tallied from the two and Goodalls conversion tied it at 19-19. Baylor scored 20 first downs to Vanderbilts 12.

Penalties or not, the Rebs moved that football, through the air and over the land. They spread their four touchdowns to three players, two to the last of the Kinard first generation, Billy, one each to 10-second sprinters Earl Blair and Allen Muirhead. Another two points came as a safety gift from Kentuckys Dick Mitchell who mishandled an Eagle Day punt and then stepped out of the end zone trying to get it back upfield.

KENTUCKYS LONE touchdown came late on a 75-yard Hardy completed eight passes, the last one to End Schnellen-berger for 16 yards. Delmar Hughes kicked the field goal, from 22 yards out, to open the scoreboard for business late in the first quarter. The fracas completed the first double-header in conference history. Tennessee beat Mississippi State. 19-7, in an opener which was considered roughist until the night show came on.

KENTUCKY WASNT without its penalty burden either. The Cats lost 123 yards. That made 305 yards for the game. The Rebels unveiled two back-fields of equal destructive talent against the Cats, making an SEC debut for former Pro Coach Blanton Collier. Colliers offense was patterned after the great Cleveland Browns (the flat, short passes and counter plays to this series'.

But his defense wasnt up to the Browns standard. Give the Reb attackers credit for this deficit. HOUSTON PATTON, the Tus-cumbia junior, headed one Reb back group and aptly named Eagle Day the other. Both are split-T juniors with much future. This affair was labeled the Rebels toughest hurdle to the 1954 crown.

Vanderbilt. Tulane. LSU, Arkansas (a designated sixth "conference foe) and Mississippi State remain. It could be easy all the way. Ole Miss won the championship first in 1947.

Theyve been close since but never this close. And the blocking and tackling has just begun over Dixie. WITHOUT a first quarter first down Kentucky had earned a 3-0 lead when side-changing time came. This field goal was set up when Dick Mitchell picked off a wild Houston-Patton pass on the Reb. 25 and bulled it back to the 17.

When three plays netted only three yards, Hughes bumped a low roomer through the posts from the 22-yard line. Kentucky had been fairly close before this after recover- State lost the ball four times and Iowa three. Michigan State 0 0 10 010 Iowa 0 7 0 714 Michigan State scoring: Touchdown, Bolden.

It was an erratic game at times with each team fumbling on five occasions.

Michigan dig out 14-6 Texas Ag win DALLAS, Sept. 25 P) Oklahoma's biting ground attack dug out a 14-6 victory over fighting but futile Texas Saturday night in a rough and tumble intersectional football game. A sparse crowd of 14,000 sat in the Cotton Bowl as the Texas Aggies thin 32 tried manfully against the big, tough and veteran Cowpokes and there was cause for consolation as the Aggies played on better than even terms with the Oklahomans in the last half. Twice roughing penalties against Texas helped the Oklahoma Aggies in touchdown drives. The first one set the ball on the Texas seven and in two tries Lehman Brightman plowed across for a touchdown.

The other came in the third period and put the ball down to the Texas 23. Bill Whitt made the touchdown from the one. Louie Flores converted after each Oklahoma touchdown. Texas scored in the fourth period on a 67-yard drive with Elwood Kettler smashing 12 yards in three tries for the payoff.

The Wildcats could move only five yards, however, in four assaults against the big and quick Reb line. The Rebs appeared to resent being behind. After the field goal kickoff, the second team Ole Missers went to work eagerly.

DAY RAN THE kickoff back to his 37. First Eagle used running tactics. Kinard and Patton got four apiece and Day followed up with a 10-yard twist on a keeper play. A penalty set the Rebs back to midfield and prompted Day to pitch to Jimmy Patton for 33. Patton made a brilliant reception.

The officials found fault a play later with the Rebs and punished them 15 yards to the 38. Day called another pass and hit home. This time Kinard took it down to the three. A play later, Kinard charged right tackle for the score. Jim- my Patton kicked point.

The Rebs led, 7-3, with halftime 12 minutes away. Two more points were to be the Rebs by intermission. Kentuckys Mitchells try to handle a line-drive Day punt on his one-yard line failed. The ball squirted through his arms deep into the end zone and Mitchell stepped out of the playing field trying to dodge free of tacklers. The Wildcats swapped fumbles with the Rebs to start the third period.

The Wildcats got their enemy miscue last and they started a march with it, from their 41. Hardy threw strikes to Bradley Mills (13 yards); Mitchell (14 yards) and Mills (12 yards) to spark an advance to the Reb 21. NEEDING A YARD on fourth down the Cats tried Mitchell wide but the Rebs stopped that They ganged the little runner, rudely dumping him on the 23. That was the ball game. At least it was most certainly 15 plays and 73 yards later when Kinard crashed over the goal from a yard out.

The march. Houston Patton directed, was all on the ground. McCool got 37 off-tackle yards along the way and Kinard another 26 yards. Jimmy Pattons kick made it 16-3 with 20 seconds left in the quarter. The rout was on now.

In seven minutes the Rebs had two more touchdowns and started coasting. The first of this last pair was a quick 28-yard march after Kentucky, pushed by penalties to its one, kicked to Speedy Blair who returned 10 to the Cat 28. The Rebs took six plqs for this one, not including two alties for 20 yards.

SKELLEY IOWA CITY, Iowa, Sept. 25 (P) Eldean Matheson, a junior halfback who carried the ball only four times a year ago for 42 yards, raced 52 today to rally Iowa to a spectacular 14-10 victory over Michigan States Rose Bowl football champions.

He was only three yards away from his coveted goal when he was overhauled by Spartan Carl Nystrom. Shocked Michigan State grudgingly gave up only 1V4 yards in three Iowa thrusts. But the Spartans couldnt restrain the Iowa line and Quarterback Jerry Reichow. on the vital fourth down, went over for the winning points.

The defeat, only the third for Michigan State in five years, was a bitter dose for new Coach Hugh Daugherty who moved up to the top job when Biggie Munn retired after the 1954 Rose Bowl triumph. Conversely, it was a stimulating victory for Iowa Coach Forest Evashevski, once an assistant with Daugherty under Munn. And it was a flying start toward the Big Ten championship which Michigan State and Illinois are defending as cochamps. A multi-colored, shirtsleeve crowd of 50,000, basking in 80 degree temperature, and millions of viewers watching the nationwide TV game of the day, saw Iowa rush to a 7-0 halftime lead with complete dominance of the Spartans. Then they glimpsed Michigan State roar back with typical Spartan bounce in the third quarter on a touchdown and a field goal.

Taking charge right from the starL Iowa lost a touchdown chance In the first period on Halfback Earl Smith's fumble on the four-yard line only to have Smith Gamble 32 yards for a touchdown with 5 minutes goneJn the second period. Big Jim Freeman made the first of his two conversions and it was Iowa, 7-0. To the happy Iowans, many of whom have had Rose Bowl dreams since Iwas fast November conference finish and the now famous tie with Notre Dame last Fall, it looked as If their favorites were 'in. They werant though. Tha Spartans travalad 75 yards in nlna plays after tha sacond half kickoff for a touchdown.

Laroy Boldan scorad from tha six. Gerry Planutis converted to tie the game and then sent Michigan State ahead, 10-7, on his 20-yard field goal with four minutes left in the period. That 10-7 lead looked as if It would hold up until Matheson took in that punt op bis 45 and dashed into the Spartans stronghold to ease Iowas winning touchdown. DURING THE tense final minutes Michigan State failed to make a serious threat. The 103-105 NORTH TWENTIETH STREET Continued from Page 1 He fed Tom Tracy a reverse through this weak gap for 20 yards, then crashed through for 10 himself to the State 16.

Tracy struck back there for eight more. Wade for one, Tracy for six and Wade used the same hole for the final yard. Tracy kicked the extra point to make it 19-7. THE REST of the steamy afternoon was spent by both teams battering themselves fruitlessly. Penalties piled on penalties.

In all, Refer Fred Doster walked off 255 yards of tax yardage, 155 for th Vols, 100 for State. Th total deficit was only 10 yards short of an unwanted SEC record which Kentucky and Cincinnati set in wartime 1945. There were 23 penalties in all, mostly 15-yard assessments for illegal hand usage and clipping. VICTORIOUS Coach Harvey Robinson termed his big two hours a "team victory. Gen.

Bob Neyland's single wing-teaching successor added that "Mississippi State had a well coached team, slightly better than last year. I think our team showed morale, hustle and desire. Robinson then added praise to a guy already well-applauded by the big crowd, Center Harold Easterwood, States Bulldog defender. Hes one of the few really fine football players in the Southeastern Conference. Easterwood had a teammate in stardom, however.

He was Guard Bill Dooley, brother of Auburns Vince. Bill spurned an Auburn offer of athletic scholarship to prove his own worth elsewhere. He did it here Saturday. He made more individual tackles than the constantly-blocked Easterwood. For Tennessee, there was McCord, a 234 pound tackle; Center Charles Scholes and Ends Edd Cantrell and Ronald Gust shining on defense, a defense of the old Tennessee school.

That meant the gang-tackling, pass-guarding type of thing which puts constant pressure on a harassed foe. No need to say it: It worked again Saturday. THE LINEUPS TENNESSEE (IS) Left ends, Ur-bano. Drummond, Cruse; left tackles, WllUams. Rader.
