There was a generous round or applause as the popular Lopes marched to the plate to present his starting lineup to the umpires. A lusty cheer greeted the an nouncement that Al Rosen was back in the Cleveland lineup at third base. The slugging Al had been sidelined in the third game yesterday with a pulled muscle in his right thigh on which he so painfully had hobbled in the first two games. Lopez also made a switch at shorUtop, benching the. light hit ting' George Strickland, who hadn't made a blow in the first three gamcqi for Sam Dente.

And Wally Westlake was back in right field. Nightmarish Errom But the harried skipper of the Tribe simply couldn't plug all the gaps in the second inning. Two nightmarish errors helped in the scoring of the first two Giant tallies, although the second mlsplay In the end proved more or less Inconsequential. Lemon who had battled the Giants in 10 torrid innings in the New York opener last Wednesday before being brought down by Rhodes' three-run pinch-homer, had skirted through the first inning safely enough. With the sec ond, however, the redoubtable Cleveland righthander's fortune deserted him and he ran into some pretty rough going, most of it gen erated by his own teammates.

GAINESVILLE, Oct. 2 Three versatile quarterbacks guided the Florida Gators to their second Southeastern Conference upset victory in a row today, spilling Auburn 19-13. Bobby Lntice ran 86 yards for one Florida touchdown and Fred Robinson and pick Allen passed for the others. Florida scored in the first half Robinson's 19-yard toss to Bob Smith and had a 1S-0 lead early in the third quarter after fooled Auburn with a fake handoff, ran inside tackle and past the whole Tiger team. 1 Auburn Cornea Bark But Auburn, mixing Its classy passing combination of Bobby Freeman to Jim Pyburn with the power plunging of Joe Childress, came back to tie it.

That left it to Allen, a soph from Atlanta to guide Florida 68 yards in the final 8 minutes. He tossed to Capt Jerry Bill for the winning score. Jackie Simpson, Florida halfback hurt in last week's victory over Georgia Tech, played one of the greatest pass defenses ever seen on Florida Field. He knocked half a dozen passes right out of Pyburn' hands In the closing seconds. Freeman scored both Auburn touchdowns short plunges.

He used his Unit, quarterbacked by Freeman, far more than the less experienced X. And while Auburn churned up the most threats, Florida had the fire to pull the game out Florida's defense was a considerable factor, too. In addiUon to the great work by Simpson in the secondary, there was a defensive line that worked wonders against Auburn's spUt-T, especially at the key spots.

By WIKT GAMMON ttmei Sports editor. ATHENS, Ga Oct. 2 An alert white-jersied Texas Aggie team, fired up by Paul (Bear) Bryant after losses to two South west teams, outclassed Georgia's red shirts, 6-0, under warm blu skies hers today before 23,000 fans. It was Georgia's first loss In three games this season.

The Aggies scored on a quick aerial attack in the second peri' od, two flings by Elwood Kettler covering 30 yards. Eugene stai lings, right end. took the scoring pass on a 14-yarn gain. The Aggies got close enough to try field goals three other occasions, but the closest Geor gia ever got was the Aggie 37. that was just after the half, and it was the only time tne buii dogs passed midfield.

It Just wasn't the Bulldogs' day. Roy Wilkins, regular end from Dalton, played almost all the tame, and made some good tackles. He once threw Kettler for a 12-fard loss. Bob (Foots) Clemens. Scottsboro fullback.

and Harold Pilgrim, Baylor School backfleld man from Gainesville, shared most of the punting. Pilgrim had one 48-yarder; Clemens 41 and 59-yarders. Clemens suffered a shoulder separation late in the first half and didn't dress out far the second half. Jimmv Harper, small wiry quarterback on whom much of Georgia's success depends, again hnweri his stamina by playing almost every minute of game. However, he didn't have the same success In passing, running or choice of playsas he had had against Florida State and Clemson.

His line didn't hold up in front of him well enough. No Georgia play seemed to work with any consistency. Aggie up-front men were tough. Bryant has imbued them with much of the type of ferocity that marked his Kentucky teams. First Half The Aggies held a definite upper hand in the first half.

Field goals were barely missed from the 25 by Gene Henderson in the first quarter and from the 15 by Elwood Kettler in the second period. Then the Aggies drove to a touchdown after Don Kachtlck intercepted aJimmy Harper pass on thejGeorgia 45 and raced to the 30, Two plays later, the Aggies had passed to a score. Kettler threw both, first to Jack Pardee for 18 and then Eugene Stallings for 14. Pardee, left end, took a few steps forward and then cut across to take the peg to him. The scoring play was a quick spin and fling by the first-string Quarterback Immediately after he took the ball from center.

Stallings, right end, had barely started in a forward lunge when he took the short "quickie" pass. Harper hit him at the 10, but Stallings twisted out of his arms and sprung across the goal line, A 53-yard punt return by the Aggies Don Watson near the end of the first quarter was a thrilline plav.

Two Kentucky Wins Over LSU by 7-6 LEXINGTON, Oct. 2 UP) Little Dick Mitchell skirted right end for four vital yards in the closing seconds tonight to give Kentucky a 7-6 footbaU victory over Louisiana State and enable the winners to vacate the SEC cellar.

Sharing starring honors for Duke was sophomore quarter back Sonny Jurgensen. He came off the bench to toss the pitch- out which Pascal carried over for the score and twice in the final period Tennessee ventures into Duke territory were stopped by Jurgensen pass interceptions. A crowd of 30,000 watched in 90-degree weather as Duke beat Tennessee for the third year in succession to even their series at eight victories apiece with two ties. A fumble shortly after the kick- off gave Tennessee the ball on Duke 42, and the Volunteers moved to the Duke 20 before they were stopped.

Vanderbilt's Charley Horton, 180-pound left half from St. Petersburg, paced the Commodores to a 14-7 lead at halftime but the Tide had too much power in the last two quarters.

Oct (M Georgia Tech turned two South ern Methodist fumbles Into a field goal and a touchdown to night and won a battle of desperation passing, 10-7.

A wobbly screen pass and the jackrabblit running of George Volkert brought the once-beaten Yellow Jackets a fourth period touchdown and sent Southern Methodist vainly searching for another ringmaster for-fls once famed aerial circus. Until Georgia Tech came back for the second half intent on doing just -one thing passing the ball game was a one-sided affair for SMU. A fumble recovery by Franklin Brooks set the stage for a nine-yard field goal by Burton Grant for Georgia Tech In the second period and sophomore quarter back Wade Mitchell figured in every phase on the winning touchdown. Mitchell recovered Frank El- dom's fumble to give Georgia Tech the ball on SMITs 47. He tossed the screen pass to Volkert, who caught it behind the line of scrimmage then squirmed 4 yards as if the 83-degree heat had set the Cotton Bowl turf on fire.

Then Mitchell added the extra point. Southern Methodist, chewing up great hunks of yardage on the running: or KranK Hiiaom and Don Mcllhenny, marched 77 yards right sfter Grant field goal for a touchdown.
