"The X and Y teams of "Shug" Jordan gave the old grads something to yell about as they rolled over the Gators 16-7. Vince Dooley and Bobby Freeman engineered their units up and down the field all afternoon, as the statistics show. The X team scored in the first quarter after driving 46 yards with Charlie Hataway carrying for the last three. The Y team took over in the second quarter and drove 80 yards for its score. Bobby Freeman scored from 10 yards out and Joe Davis came in and split the uprights. In the third quarter the X tam completed Auburn's scoring with a drive of 91 yards. With a fourth down and 7 yards to go, "Automatic Joe" came in and kicked true for the final 26 yards and three points. The Gators scored late in the fourth quarter but it was too late to overcome the Plainsman advantage. Johnny Adams temporarily forgot his running chores and grabbed four passes for a total of 84 yards. A check on the defensive play shows that the Gators failed to make a first down or complete a pass in the first half. Bobby Freeman was awarded the Most Valuable Player Trophy for his outstanding performance throughout the game. The largest crowd in Auburn's history, 25,000, saw Bobby demonstrate his all American potential." (Description from the 1954 Glomerata) |
