plays reeman sneaking over from the one Childress kicked the first of two points after Tubbs passed to Jerry Elliot for the conversion after fourth One kick by Childress went wide Lee Corso blocked

touchdown with a fine running catch of a reeman pass for 26 yards to the SU 4 He caught a reeman pass in the flat and converted it into a 65 yard scoring play for the third score His defensive play stood out especially in the matter of rushing SU quarterbacks of whom four were used almost in discriminately James raced 37 yards off tackle on a handoff for the fourth tally and had a big hand in Auburn's 48 yard drive to its fifth score late in the final period Early in the second James ran S3 yards to the SU eight but a third down fumble by Howell Tubbs which Jerry Jacobs recovered on the SU two nulli fied the scoring chance SU threatened only late in the when freshman back Buddy Reynolds broke off tackle and raced 53 yards to the Auburn eight but then the Tiger forwards were equal to the situation After Harry Massey passed to Billy Graham for six to the two the Auburn line smacked Massey down on a sneak and when Joe Holt took a handoff guard George Atkins separated him from the ball

immensely It was the first time they had ever seen a col legiate produced circus at Cliff Hare Stadium and it was the first time in the last four starts they had seen their po tentially great Tiger team rack up a victory Though the Plainsmen won handily from a team that had polished off Villanova (52 13) Louisville (47 6) and NC State (12 7) Coach Ralph Jordan figured his Tigers still have some improving to do thought the offense looked good al times but still not satisfied with our defense We worked hard on that phase last week but it looks as if have to get back on it next Jordan said Tom Nugent said were just too many good football players out there against us today If anything is gained by getting beat it probably will be the experience our young team jacked Most of the Seminoles are
