defense kick off their seasons Saturday in a nationally televised Southeastern Conference game The Tigers of Coach Ralph Jordan are favored jy nine points to extend their winning streak to 15 games Auburn had some key losses off the team that compiled the nation's best defensive record last year while winning the mythical national championship Such notables as all-America end Jimmy Phillips and chief touchdown maker fullback Billy Atkins are gone But the eon of another powerful defensive team is back in such bruisers as center Jackie Burkett end Jerry Wilson and guard Zeke Smith Tennessee long rated the nation's foremost exponent of defense football lost 10 of last year's starters and Coach Bowden Wyatt calls this a rebuilding year for his Vols But rival coaches have a lot of respect for Wyatt and his singlewing precision Vols even when he says he may use as many as 24 sophomores in an effort-to upset the defending national champs Jordan reportedly was worried that his players might be taking the Vols too lightly "I look for an even ball Jordan said "One that will be decided by the breaks the way most games played with Tennessee are won" Wyatt was undecided between two non-lettermen for his starting call at the key tailback post Danny Webb a senior plagued by Injuries in past seasons and Bill Majors classy looking sophomore brother of Johnny Majors an all-America tailback for the Vols in 1856 NASHVILLE Tenn UR Georgia's Bulldogs who had mud trouble last week gained a bare point in the odds Friday as the weatherman predicted possible rain for Saturday game with Vanderbilt The Commodores won their opener against Missouri last week in near perfect conditions at Columbia Mo The Bulldogs on the other hand fumbled a -slick ball 10 times in dropping a 13-8 decision to Texas in Austin But the Bulldog edge is thin and the two teams should be about evenly matched at the 8 pm CSTJ kickoff time The Commodores appear to be in fair shape physically but two of last week's starters coukl be on the end Ron Miller and fullback Jim Butler Miller has a shoulder injury Butler a bruised side In their places if they can't go Coach Art Guepe probably will send In junior end Rayford Hilley and senior fullback Fete Thompson Otherwise Vandy will start with center Ben Donnell guards George Deiderich and Capt Billy Grover tackles Tommy Redmond and Larry Wagner end Luther Boone quarterback Boyce Smith and halfbacks Mack Rolfe and Tom Moore Georgia which likewise has two starters on the injury list may have three new faces in its starting squad quarterback Francis Tarkenton end Aaron Box and tackle Larry Lancaster Box and Lancaster would replace Bill Herron who has a minor neck injury and Riley Gunnels who has had some knee trouble 1 Wools Flannels

Orleans despite a brilliant aerial display by Greenie quarterback Ritchie Petit-bon The successful but uninspired ground drives that won the contest paled before Petition's aerial artistry With guided missile accuracy the six foot three inch Tulane quarterback connected 11 times for a total of 95 yards The climax to the tightly fought contest before 35000 fans came after the final horn sounded The
