Oddsmakers had made Georgia Tech a 20�-point favorite over visiting Army, and one sportswriter-seer predicted Tech would win 34-3. Army Coach Tom Cahill chose to read that clipping to his team before the game. "We had our pride hurt," said Cahill afterward, "and you'd better not catch us when our pride is hurt. That's what happened today, and we played a heck of a game." Cadet sophomore Jim Barclay had kicked two field goals when, with four minutes left, two 15-yard penalties against Tech put Army within range again. Out trotted Barclay to boot a 40-yarder, the longest of his short career, for a 16-13 victory.

In Tallahassee, Fla., Frank Fontes also kicked three field goals, but his were without benefit of shoes and gave Florida State all the points it needed in a 30-7 thrashing of Kansas. The kicks were from 31, 42 and 47 yards. Just for a little icing, junior Quarterback Gary Huff threw three TD passes before taking the rest of the night off.

Florida players were called "peons" and "aardvarks" by their own fans Friday night during an appearance at a Gainesville movie theater. The name-calling might get more vicious soon, for on Saturday Alabama's Johnny Musso sat out most of the second half yet still scored four touchdowns, tying a school single-game record, as the Tide rolled 38-0. "We got a sound beating from a superior football team," said Florida Coach Doug Dickey.

Duke warmed up for Stanford by trouncing Virginia 28-0, and Coach Mike McGee has more Duke grads talking about him after three games than he did when he was an All-America lineman for the Blue Devils a little more than a decade ago. McGee has stressed attitude and fundamentals and it has paid off so far.

Kentucky fell to Mississippi 34-20, its 19th loss against only five victories since John Ray became coach in 1969. "We Believe" pennants, buttons, bumper stickers and signs have been displayed in the bluegrass country for two years, but the Wildcats' defense would make nonbelievers out of anybody. Rebel Quarterback Kenny Lyons didn't help. He was almost unstoppable on the option play in the first half, when he ran for 64 yards and passed for 100.

Georgia punter Jimmy Shirer set up two touchdowns with his precise kicks as the Bulldogs beat Clemson 28-0 and improved their record to 3-0. Shirer punted to the one and the five, and when Clemson subsequently had to punt from its end zone Georgia got the ball in scoring position.
