Georgia, which drove 66 yards for a touchdown on its first series of plays, seemed in command until halfback Tommy James of Ole Miss returned Bulldog punt from his 27 to the Georgia four-yard line. The speedy Bowen slashed over tackle for a touchdown on the next play. The Rebs forged ahead in the second period with their 49-yard NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Seventh-ranked Alabama overpowered Vanderbilt 35-21 in a Southeastern Conference football passing spectacular and extended its unbeaten string to 25 games behind quarterback Kenny Stabler Saturday night.

Two field goals by Steve Davis and a 15-yard touchdown pass from Stabler to Dennis Homan put the game on ice after Stabler passed to Homan for two touchdowns, set up field goal and scored once himself on a one-yard keep. Joe Kelley also scored a touchdown. Alabama stunned Vanderbilt on the sixth play of the game with a 61-yard scoring pass from Stabler to Homan, and made ti 14-0 three minutes later on run.

The next time Vandy got the ball, May went to the air with four completions to Bob Goodridge and a six-yard scoring pass to Strong. Goodridge, second only to Homan in SEC pass receptions going into the game, set a Vandy receiving record with 11 catches. Stabler took Alabama 59 yards just before halftime to set up 21-yard field goal.

Vandy scored in the final 29 seconds on a seven-yard pass from May to Goodridge.

Winn won the division of medal play by shooting two rounds of even par play. Dick Watkins was the leader in the first flight while Harmon Eaves and K. K. Cobb tied for the leading spot in the second flight.

Millie Perhoeh defeated Lucy Roy, 3-2, to win the championship consolation. will the option play, then turned to Homan and the passing game.

In contrast, May was plagued by a grizzly Alabama rush and began to find the range only after getting his first good field position on the fumble recovery which led the first TD. May, with 16 completions in 28 attempts for 199 yards, out- passed Stabler who hit six ofvll for 119 yards. Goodridge caught 11 passes for 130 yards and Horn sn gout got 103. In the explosive first half, May completed five of 11 passes for 82 yards, five of them to Goodridge, and Stabler hit four of nine for 94 yards. recovery of the Alabama fumble by Tommy Wade suddenly changed the complexion of the game, just when it appeared the Tide would swamp Vandy under a wave of first-half touchdowns.

Sparked by the recovery at the Alabama 31, May marched Vany to the 7 and gave to Strong for the touchdown. May then went to the air and fired to Strong to climax a 79-yard drive.

It took all of passing ability to keep Georgia in contention after the Rebs went ahead on third period field goal. pin-point passing pulled Georgia back in striking distance until touchdown run with 32 seconds left.

Moore, a 190-pound semor, completed six passes for 85 yards during a 90-yard scoring thrust by the Bulldogs in the fourth quarter. The touchdown came on a 27-yard toss to wing back Hardy King. That pulled Georgia within two points of the: Rebs. But the gamble; for a two-point conversion and; a deadlock failed. Keyes, who had his string of 40 consecutive extra points broken after the first Rebel touchdown, intercepted a Moore pass at the Ole Miss 24 late in the game and returned it to the Georgia six to set up touchdown.

missed conversion came after he had been shaken up and he apparently was still groggy. running provided Ole Miss with a touchdown that put Rebs ahead 23-14 early in the fourth period. He capped a drive of 51 yards by going in from the one. The march covered 51 yards and Bowen accounted for 31 yards with his smashes and sweeps. Steve Hindman was the top rusher, getting 91 yards on 24 attempts while Bowen had 44 on 11 carries.

Lawrence paced Georgia with 55 yards. It was first loss this fall and the Bulldogs are now 3-1. Ole Miss evened its record at 2 2 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Third-string quarterback Bubba Wyche came off the bench for injured Charley Fulton Saturday and passed Tennessee to a 24-13 football victory oyer previously unbeaten Georgia Tech. A capacity crowd of 55,119 and millions more on regional television watched as Fulton, subbing for ailing No.

1 quarterback Dewey Warren, was carried from the field on a stretcher in the first quarter after being tackled savagely by Joe Bill Faith on the Tech two. Wyche, who has played less than 15 minutes of collegiate football, picked out his receivers with the poise of a veteran as he threw touchdown passes of seven and 50 yards to flanker Richmond Flowers in the second period. Larry Good, himself a backup quarterback for ailing Kim King, rallied Tech for two fourth quarter touchdowns after the Volunteers had taken a 24- point lead and the issue was no longer in doubt. Good threw scoring tosses of seven yards to flanker John Sias and five yards to end Steve Almond. The loss sent the Yellow Jackets home with a 3-1 won-lost record.

Tennessee is now 2-1 on the season. The 24 points were the most Tennessee has scored on Georgia Tech in 26 games between the southern rivals dating back to 1902. previous high against the Jackets was a 22-14 triumph in 1964.

(AP) Halfback Tony Yelverton skirted end on a 14-yard gallop in the fourth period Saturday to give Southern Mississippi a 21-14 victory over Mississippi State in a battle of freak touchdowns. The winning score was the first of the game in which breaks did not play a major part.

The Southerners drove 50 yards for that one and their defenses kept state in check the rest of the way. In whipping State for the first time in its history, Southern, a major independent, gave State a fumble. State added another on touchdown after a second period a 60-yard rim by halfback Johnny Woitt on a handoff and reverse play which the players seemed to make up as they went along. first two touchdowns just as odd.

A 35-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jim Donnan to end Harry Martell opened the scoring floodgates for ninth- ranked State at the start of the second half. Don Donaldson, who caught a 19-yard scoring pass from Jack hitting his receivers with regularity. Good connected on 19 of 35 passes for 238 yards and the two six pointers. Sias caught seven for 148 yards and Almond also speared seven for 53. Tailback Walter Chadwick, assisted by a five yard penalty which put the ball on the Tech 1, plunged over from there for third touchdown in the third quarter.

Karl Kremser, soccer-style kicker, booted a 22- yard field goal and three extra points to complete the Vol scoring. Flowers, Olympic hopeful hurdler, was the leading receiver, grabbing five tosses for 79 yards.

Fullback Richard Pickens was the Vol rushing leader with 69 yards in seven carries. Fulton was taken the tha University Hospital with bruised ribs for overnight observation.
