the most outstanding feature of 30 0 opening tri umph of the 1964 season here Saturday The Cougar ball carriers just never had a chance Not only did they never make it into Auburn terri tory all through the frustrating afternoon but they could only muster 17 yards rushing and two first downs On one play they gained nine yards their best rush ing play of the afternoon Two others netted six yards The remainder of the afternoon they were butting their heads against a stone wall The way the Tigers played defense Saturday afternoon it was reminiscent of an afternoon in Birmingham in 1958 when Auburn opened another football season this time be fore a national television audience That afternoon Auburn held the Vols without a single first down and to a minus 13 yards rushing defensive exhibition yesterday compared most favorably with that one at Birmingham Tigers' Inside Running Game Improved JORDAN ALSO PROESSED pleasure at the proved inside running game Quarterback Jimmy Sidle directed the ground tack between the tackles most of the afternoon and picked up the majority of 236 yards rushing on bulldozing runs by Tucker rederickson and himself in this area did spend a lot of time on it in the spring again this Jordan said we made a lot of mistakes In fact we looked ragged in the second half with all of those in motion penalties have to work on that before we play The Vols of course come up next Saturday at Birming ham passing must improve Shug asserted had looked sharper in practice than it did Auburn had a lot of receivers in the open against Hous ton but they dropped a lot several occasions But the improvement the defense were enough the passing attack And the Tigers stuck to just one basic formation all day After all there was no point in showing anything else when they were able to move the ball as well as they did against Houston MCI out individual stars in the Au they were all playing extreme that Chuck Hurston has made a complete recovery from the broken arm which hampered him all last season Early in the second period when the Cougars made their most determined bid to invade Auburn territory Chuck was in on three consecutive stops And it was a driving tackle by the 6 4 215 pound Jordan High graduate voted the outstanding lineman in the spring game which knocked the Preasley Cooper loose from the ball at the Houston 2 in the third period set up an easy Auburn score Auburn 16 236 82 749 1 3 41 1 85 ER BB SO 0 0 3 Alabama 22 240 167 16 21 543 16 21 0 53 5 0 0 3 2 1 WPDowning Orioles' Game Is Rained Out BALTIMORE (AP) The Saturday night game between the Baltimore Orioles and the Los Angeles Angels was post poned by rain A doubleheader was scheduled for Sunday Because of the postponement the Orioles dropped one half game behind the American League leading New York Yan kees Shug Professes Surprise in Outcome COACH SHUG JORDAN was most pleased with the out come of the game it goes without saying In fact he professed surprise at the 30 point spread be tween his Tigers and the Cougars at the end certainly never expected anything like he grinned anticipated a much tougher game than The Cougars had played the Tigers to a 21 14 decision be fore bowing in last opener at Houston And Shug also had a kind word for his defen sive efforts In fact he gave the defense a major share of the victory credit in his post game chat with the writers defense put us in good field position just about he pointed out lot of the credit for the 30 points must go to the And a check of the play by play chart shows just how right the chief Tiger is The defense got the ball for the offense at the Houston 28 19 38 2 and 41 for the scoring drives Thus it necessary for the Tigers to day It was difficult to pick burn line when apparently ly
