Rick Cosores Powers Florida To 1927 Victory Over Auburn Charles Hathaway on a four-yard run. Joe Davis booted the three Auburn conversions. Spence. who led the conference in punting as well as passing percentage going into this game faltered in this department. Bad Kick Helps Florida. Early in the second quarter he kicked one from his 10-yard line that slipped off the side of his foot and went only one yard. That started Florida on its way to tie the score by halftime and go ahead early in the third quarter. Auburn tied the score again at 21–21 on Spence’s pass to Hayley covering half the field, but that was all the f1red-up Tigers could the Gators held the visitors without a first down in the final quarter and made the $500 homecoming fans happy with their final touchdown and clinching field goal.

SEC Sets Top Action Sat. RssocIafed Press Sports Writer Eight games-two of them slight ly faded intersectional affairs = viii be played this week by South eastern Conference football teams. Two and three years ago when the Georgia Tech5Army and the Georgia. Pennsylvania games were scheduled, they were supposed to be hot stuff. Since then lot of glamour has been knocked off. The Cribbing affair cut Army from a mighty power and the Cadets still are rebuilding. Penn hasn’t shown as strongly as expected. The 14–7 loss to Penn State Saturday was a shock. And then there is, Georgia = undermined, crippled and playing schedule no team could be expected to navigate without beat ings. Georgia has lost three so far and doubtless more to come. The Tech.Army game is in At lanta and the Georgia. Penn game in Philadelphia. Both are Saturday afternoon. OF the four actors in the two In tended football melodramas, only Tech is living up to its advance billing. The Engineers are unbeaten-, united and apparently about to accept a bowl bid, probably to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Other interconference games are Chattanooga Alabama at Tuscaloosa; Mississippi Houston at Houston, and Vanderbilt-Miami at Mi ami. Vandy’s game will be Friday night; Mississippi plays Saturday night, and Alabama Saturday aft ernoon. SEC games are Mississippi State at Auburn’s Homecoming, Tulane at Kentucky and Tennessee at Baton Rouge against L. S. U. Florida is idle but the Gators deserve a rest. Bob Woodruff S son and needs only six more to SCI son and need only six more to set an all-time Florida record. The 1852 output is tops for the SEC. After a weel; of rest Florida goes back to work against Tennessee, Miami and Kentucky. Last Saturday Florida got from behind a 40 lag against Auburn and won 31–21. A solid round of victories over out of league teams last week end moved the SECS intersectional and interconference won-lost percent age to a fat TIA for the season. The mark is 24’ victories, seven defeats. Tech made the most notable contribution Saturday, a 28–7 victory over unbeaten Duke. Tennessee Clipped in with a ALA slaughter Of North Carolina. Kentucky was supposed to lose to Miami but won instead, 29–0. No one expected Vandy to win by any such 67–7 scor, over Washington and Lee. But Bill Edwards hard working crew did the trick. Other scores were Alabama “a Georgia 10; Mississippi 2S L. S. U, 0, and Tulane “a Mississippi State 21.
