I 3D' Gators Upend nnller in Seminoles Scalp I i I rV- HV I1 I -Iff! fts W''AJ -4 TALLAHASSEE, Oct. 26 (P) Florida State's resurging Seminoles struck suddenly today with an electrifying 80-yard touchdown run by Sophomore Fred Pickard and a 51-yard pass play to win a 20-7 homecoming football victory over Virginia Tech. Bobby Renn, Florida State's leading ground gainer, turned to deadly passes to keep the Gob- bier defense off balance and pro- vide the Seminole ground game with an added punch. Renn's 51-yard scoring pass to Ronny Schomburger at the outset of the second quarter put the Seminoles in front and they held the lead the rest of the way against the Gobblers, who fumbled away two scoring opportunities. The win was the third of the season for the Seminoles against an equal number of losses.

It was the fourth defeat for thd disappointing VPI team which holds wins over Tulane and Villanova. Florida State scored a pair of touehdowns within the first two minutes of the second quarter. Renn and Schomburger clicked for the initial score. Schomburger stepped between two VPI defenders at the 12 yard i line to take Renn's toss and ran the rest of the way for the score. Johnny Sheppard converted.

Nine seconds later Virginia Tech was penalized back to the one yard line after taking the kickoff. Bob McCoy, VPI's reserve quarterback, fumbled and big George Boyer pounced on the ball for FSU's second touchdown. This time Fullback Bob Nellums converted. Virginia Tech, playing control ball, came back later in the second period and ground out a touchdown on 15 running plays that carried 50 yards. Bobby Conner, 202 pound senior fullback, plunged over from the one foot line and Barry Frazee converted.

26 (ff) Opportunist Georgia cashed in on the mistakes of fumbling Kentucky tonight, turning three bobbles into touchdowns, while scor ing a mildly surprising 33-14 Southeastern Conference football victory. The tempo was set on the opening, kickoff. Kentucky's Bobby Cravens lost the ball on his 19 and three plays later the alert Georgians had their first touchdown. Georgia's Charles Britt passed 31 yards to Halfback Jimmy Orr for one score, 15 yards to End Ken Cooper for another and ran five yards for a third. Fullback Theron Sapp scored a fourth on a one-yard plunge and Don Soberdash the fifth on a thre yard plunge after a 61-yard drive stemming from a pass interception.

Kentucky moved 80 yards in 11 plays to its first score, Sophomore Rich Wright circling left end from the four. The last came on a 47-yard drive, with Cliff Tribble dashing across from the four. This was set up when Guard Bob Collier returned an intercepted pass 20 yards, one of the few breaks the Kentuckians got this cloudy, cold night. Stanford Smashes UCLA Bruins, 20-6 PALO ALTO, Oct. 26 (-P) Stanford's Jack Douglas engineered one long scoring march and threw two touchdown passes today as the Indians kept alive their Rose Bowl hopes with a 20-6 victory over favored UCLA.

The 178-pound football and tennis star, who followed this year in the footsteps of the great John Brodie, truly came into his own in this Pacific Coast Conference battle. Iowa to Nip Northwesternr 6-0 Florida Stops Tigers' Cannon Balanced Attack Propels Gator Team To Important Victory GAINESVILLE, Oct. 26 Florida stopped Billy Cannon, the Southeastern Conference 4 rushing leader, cold today and i jianut-u uuuisiana oiace us urst conference football defeat 22-14. Dan Telham, a senior end, put Florida ahead in the opening minutes whpn he blocked a Cannon punt in the end zone for a safety and the Gators never trailed. LSU waged an uphill battle the rest of the way on a 99-yard scoring kickoff return by J.

W. Brodnax and Jimmy Taylor's bulllike rushes. The Tigers matched Florida touchdown for touchdown until the fourth quarter. Then another short Cannon punt only 12 yards beyond the line of scrimmage opened the way for Florida to score the rlinrher on a march. Taylor scored the second LSU touhdown on a 2-yard plunge and kicked both conversions, running his SEC scoring total to 62 points.

He led the conference with 54 going into today's game. Florida's attack attained a rare balance of sweeps by Halfbacks Jim Rountree and Bernie Parrish, haixTdrivingnsmashes by-Fullback Ed Sears and the tricky quarter-backing and spot passing of Quarterback Jimmy Dunn. LSU was 10th ranked in the nation after four straight victories but was no better than an even choice over once beaten Florida. The two SEC title hopefuls treated the crowd of 28,000 to just The kind ofgive and take battle it was supposed to be. 'It was still anybody's game going into the final quarter and Taylor just missed a chance of putting LSU ahead for the first time when his attempted field goal from the 28 went to the right of the goal posts.

Florida gave LSU that chance with a fumble and the crowd groaned in fear of seeing the same kind of disaster that overtook Florida in a 29-20 loss to Mississippi State as the result of six lost fumbles a week ago. Other than that one chance, Florida's defenses held Louisiana State well back from the goal throughout the second half. The only sustained LSU drive came in the second quarter when a dozen plays moved the ball 65 yards to the Tigers' second score. Florida marched the hall steadily and piled up 229 yards rushing. Parrish romped 27 'yards for the clinching touchdown and it made him the leading Florida runner with 72 yards on 13 carries.

Cannon was held to 22 yards on 11 tries. His best offensive effort was a 20-yard pass to Bill Smith in the second LSU scoring drive. Taylor led the Tigers with 50 yards in 16 smashes.

Fists Fly As Irish Sneak By Pittsburgh 13-7 SOUTH BEND, Oct 6 A spectacular 74-yard touchdown pass play from soph quarterback George Izo to injured halfback Aubrey Lewis gave unbeaten Notre Dame 13 to 7 victory Pittsburgh's Panthers in a bitter, fist-swinging football battle today. Three players, two from Notre Dame and one from Pitt, were ejected as the Irish won their fourth consecutive triumph on the thrilling Izo-Lewis pass, the opening play of the fourth quarter.

Izo got his chance because No. 1 Irish quarterback, Bob Williams, was tossed out with Pitt end Dick Scherer, for a third quarter squabble. Irish halfback Dick Lynch was chased for swinging at a Panther on halfback Frank Reynolds's one-yard touchdown plunge for a 6-0 Notre Dame lead in the first period. Pitt's snarling Panthers roared 56-yards in 13 play for a second quarter touchdown on quarterback Bill Kaliden's one-yard sneak. No.

2 Pitt quarterback Ivan Toncic booted the point and a 7-6 halftime lead. Notre Dame's blocked point try loomed large until Izo arched a long pass to Lewis, who took the ball on Notre Dame's 45 at full tilt and easily romped to the game-deciding touchdown. Jt was the first time track star Lewis had his hands on the ball since he was injured in the Turdue opener. This was a throwback to old time Pitt-Irish rivalry. It wssn't smooth football, but it was hardhitting, jolt-'em-to-the-toeg football.

Tempers flared as early as the opening Irish touchdown in the first quarter. After the Irish had bludgeoned their way 52 yards to the Pitt one on 13 plays, Reynolds slammed across by inches. During the goal line struggle on the play, halfback Lynch of Notre Dame delivered a rousing right hand punch in the direction of a Pitt defender. An official spotted the blow and immediately ejected Lynch from the game. Lynch said the Titt player, unidentified, hit him first.

Notre Dame had its misfortune later, but in its first quarter touchdown drive they had typical luck of the Irish. On two plays, the Irish fumbled yet gained a total of 18 yards as end Gary Myers recovered for Notre Dame each time. The Panthers wasted little time exploiting some puzzling Irish strategy which backfired. After rolling 40 yards on the ground to Titt's 28 the Irish elected to pass. On a fourth down pass, quarterback Williamg was nailed for a 20-yard loss on Titt'i 48.

Thirteen plays later, the Panthers scored with Kaliden sneak, ing. across from the one. Half. back Scisly was the big gun in the drive, spinning 21 yards on three straight carries to Notrt Dame's 12. Gobblers, point Renn intercepted Jim Lu-gar's bullet pass in the end zone to halt the threat.

Pickard's 80-yard touchdown dash in the third period gave him ground gaining honors with 105' yards. Renn, who has had a 6.5 average up until today, had a net loss of two yards rushing but he was leading ground gainer for VFI with 64 yards in 16 carries, followed by Conner with 61 yards Enables carried to the Hawkeyes 15. Then time ran out as the half ended. Despite the slickness on a field that was scraped of a sloshy two-inch snowfall just prior to game time, Iowa's fast, small backs, led by Bill Gravel, Collins Hagler and Furlong gained 146 yards rushing. They lost 25 for a 121 net.

Northwestern, behind McKeiver, Fowler and Ed Quinn picked up 134 yards, lost 27 for 107. Iowa entered the game as the nation's major college leader on total offense with an average of 455 yards in four games. Iowa gained 55 yards on 4 out of 9 pass completions and Northwestern picked up 13 in the air on 2 out of 5 strikes. Iowa's best sustained drive came midway in the second quarter when Furlong's end sweeps and Duncan's passing drove 51 yards to the Northwestern eight. But then Furlong lost 4 and 8 yards on successive attempts and Northwestern took over.

Iowa 0 0 0 66 Northwestern 0 0 0 00 Wofford Whips Tampa, 14 to 6 SPARTANBURG, Oct. 26 UP) The Wofford Terriers racked up their sixth win of the season and their fourth in succession tonight at the expense of stubborn Tampa, 14 to 6. Injured quarterback Charlie Bradshaw hobbled into the game for the Terriers long enough to lead them to two come-from-be-hind touchdowns after Tampa had stepped out to a 6-0 lead midway the second period. Bradshaw passed for both ox ford scores, once to end Jerry Richardson from the two-yard line and again to end Twitty Carpenter on an 18-yard pitch. Both Wofford PAT attempts failed.

The Terriers picked up a pair of points on a safety in the third period when Richardson tackled Tampa's John Smoot in the end zone when he fumbled a high pass from center on a fourth down punt attempt, Tampa scored its touchdown on a 58-yard run by speedy halfback Don Herndon. The extra point attempt was blocked by Wofford back Frank Deprete. Washington State Tops Southern Cal LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26 UP) Two missed tries for extra points and an 89-yard touchdown run by End Don Ellingscn of Washing ton State killed the University of Southern California today. The Cougars won the hectic affair 13-12 kept alive their Rose Bowl hones and gave the Cou gars their first victory over USC since 1934.

The battle developed from a slow-moving affair to a thriller as the Tropans almost won the game in the final two minutes before a crowd of 24,902. The defeat was the fifth in succession, longest losing streak in the football history of Southern Cal. EVANSTON, 111., Oct. 26 A fluke pass reception -by second string junior halfback Kevin Furlong with 9Vi minutes left to play today broke up a scoreless battle in the mud and snow and gave unbeaten Iowa a 6-0 victory over Northwestern. There was no real threat of a touchdown until the fourth quarter score that handed Northwestern its fifth straight loss and preserved the fifth consecutive triumph for the Ha-wkeyes, ranked the nation's No.

3 football team. The catch by Furlong, however, was one of the screwiest seen in years in the Big Ten. It was a fitting climax to a game played during intermittent sno.w flurries and on a field so gooey that the slipping, sliding players were transformed into mud-soaked giants with numbers completely obliterated. With 9'i minutes remaining, Northwestern's Willmer Fowler fumbled, and Iowa tackle Alex Karras fell on the ball on the Wildcats 33.

Through the rest of the quarter, Colorado kept the pressure on the Sooners and Oklahoma had the ball for only 13 plays. Colorado jumped into a 13-7 lead at the start of the final period on a 45-yard march sparked by Stransky. The big halfback passed to Boyd Dowlcr for an 8-yaid touchdown play. This time Indorfs conversion attempt was good. Oklahoma took the kickoff and started on a 53-yard drive that electrified the spectators and had them on their feet screaming.

Maryland, losing its fourth game in six, was able to carry the ball past midfield only once to the Tennessee 37.

The Big Eight Conference game kept Oki-tlioma on top of the Ftandinps vith three league victories. The Sooners have now played 62 conference games without a loss. Mistakes and penalties at crucial times hurt both teams but there was no doubt that Colorado was at its peak against a hard playing Sooner squad.

The partisan sellout crowd of 61,700 had come for a slaughter but instead was jerked into the reality that the Sooners were fighting for their football life.
