air of a sparkling Autumn afternoon that the 6-5 Wood and Capt. Nix took the nations fifth-ranked team for its 20th straight victory in Cliff Hare Stadium, its 21st without defeat. Thirty-six times. Auburn threw the football. Twenty times, the Tigers winged it home.

And five times, it was little Jimmy Pettus, at left halfback for the injured Tommy Lorino, who was waiting at the catching end. Pettus caught five for 105 yards and three touchdowns. That won him the sports writers vote as the games outv standing player. Obviously it bad much to do with the winning of a game which the Maroons refused, at any point, to concede. Apparently stunned, and out of it after a 12-point Tiger first quarter, the Maroons picked themselves up in the second to take a 14-12 lead and shock a homecoming crowd of 36.000 which spilled out of the stadium and onto the grassy hillsides around the field.

8 LSU laid its No. 1 in the nation case before the world most spectacularly here Saturday night when it humbled Duke, 50-18 the worse Blue Devil licking since two years before Wallace Wade left Alabama in '31 to build a tobacco-country football power in one post-kickoff play, a On long pass Cadets go late, top Rice, 14-7 Rabb-Carnon pass. Cannon caught the- peg about the LSU 40, going away. Safety man Dutrow didnt bother to chase. What need? It was a 63-yard connection, a beauty.

LSUs three-touchdown second quarter splurge broke up the old ball game. It began with Bandit Emile Fournet blocking a Duke quick-kick on the Devil 15, and Gaynell Kinchen recovering on the one. Merle Schexnaildre rapped over in one try. Cannon kicked point. There were seven minutes left before rest.

Ample time for the Tigers to crunch 35 and 39 yards to a 28-6 lead. The shorter push followed a short punt. Robinson struck for 13, Cannon bulled for eight, and a Duke pass inter- Statistics All-America Billy Cannon brilliantly scored twice five teammates once each, and big Duke was raked from stem to stern. Even the dread Chinese Bandits, the Tigers wrecking defenders, turned offensive and got in the scoring fun. Duke tried to slip up on the deep Tigers by slamming out to a 6-0 early advantage on the Bandits but after that it was brutal for visiting people.

Most of the 63,000 audience loved it. The crowd set a Southeastern Conference home attendance season record. LSU has now performed before 303,000 in five home games. The two remaining contests, against Vanderbilt and Tulane, are road games. Last Fall the Tigers set the KNOXVILLE, Nov.

8 (JP) Chattanooga upset Tennessee, 14-6, Saturday, and jubilant Moccasin fans who had waited 51 years for a football victory over the Vols tore down a goal post to touch off a wild, 45-minute riot. Several persons were reported injured in the post-game fracas on the playing field before police and firemen broke up the demonstration with tear gas and a fire hose. Several persons were carted to jail. Quartereback John Green, 190-pound senior from West Palm Beach, engineered Chattanooga to perhaps the sweetest triumph in the gridiron history. The loss was once-mighty Tennessees third in a row and gives the hapless Vols a 2-5 worksheet for the season.

Chattanoogas record is now 5-3. Tennessee had ample scoring opportunities early in the game, but could do nothing about them until the last five seconds when Tailback Jene Etter hit Wingback Don Steph- ens with a 26-yard pass. The 76-yard drive began in the last minute of play. Thrice earlier, the Vols were within Chattanoogas 10, only to give up the ball to the stubborn Moccasin line. A crowd of 20,200 saw Green maneuver Chattanooga to second and fourth-period touchdowns with some of the prettiest passing ever seen on Shields-Watkins Field.

Green completed 12 of 20 tosses for 117 yards.

The movement had begun on the Tiger 42, and four plays later, Robinson ripped center, shed a tackier or two, then waltzed it home alone. Rabb ran end for the two points which made it 36-6.

The Bandits, assaulted for the first Duke score, were in again when the Devils moved 35 yards to another end zone visit. Carlton had set up the expedition by running the kickoff back 55 yards. Three Brodhead-Moo rrnUn passes featured the advance. The pair combined for the touchdown, a 11-yarder. THERE WAS A slight uneasiness in home circles when the visitors rolled 74 yards to an early fourth-quarter TD which made it 18-36.

Carlton went over for the touchdown from the one. two smashes after a Brodhead-Moorman pass had carried 28 yards to the Tiger three.

Seconds before the perfectly executed tie-breaking toss, Don Bonko, Reserve Cadet fullback, had crashed through to block a Rice field goal attempt after the final Owl threat had moved to the Army nine.

Army, a seven-point favorite, had carried a 5-0-1 record and a No. 3 ranking to Houston on its first invasion of the Southwest. Until the closing minutes, neither team had moved inside the 20-yard lines except for a quick exchange of touchdowns in the second period.
