U) Joe Caldwell, a ball-faking houdini who played only two minutes last year, and bullet Bob Anderson passed and ran Army's top-ranked football team to a 35-6 victory over Virginia yesterday at Michie Stadium.

Hampered by fumbles In the opening half, the Cadets recovered their poise behind their 160-pound quarterback Caldwell and turned what started out as a close game into a runt. The game was so fiercely played that two of Army's starts, halfback-captain Pete Dawkins and fullback Harry Walters, were sent to the sidelines with leg injuries. THE EXTENT of the ailments was not immediately determined. Caldwell personally scored one of Army's five touchdowns with a six-yard run. He set up another with a the rain which started before daybreak and didn't let up.

FSU WON the toss and scored in just 11 plays with Pickard carrying on eight of them. Pickard ground out yardage, mostly over his own left tackle as the Seminoles made five first downs. Prinzi passed to halfback Jack Espenship from the 8 for TD. It was sophomore Espenship's first varsity touchdown. Sheppard converted and it was FSU 7, VPI 0 with only 5:56 gone in the game.

Neither team could move for the rest pf the quarter but on the first play from scrimmage in the second, Renn went into punt formation on third down standing at his own 28.

TALLAHASSEE A poised Fjorida State University elev-ejj playing in a driving rain outclassed Virginia Tech's Gobblers here yesterday to win, 28-0, in a game marred by 17 fumbles. Only 8,000 fans were on hand. The vaunted VPI passing attack bogged down in the rain and mud as the Gobblers ended up with only 28 yards in the air. They got 134 rushing, but most of it was at midfield.

Their only serious threat came late in the game with FSU fourth stringers playing. FSU HALFBACK Bobby Renn sparked two touchdown drives with a 72 yard run from scrimmage and a 51 yard punt return. Despite Renn's performance, 7 must be sophomore end Tyiy Romeo from Tampa, who was the outstanding player of the game. Romeo recovered two VPI fumbles, intercepted a pass, caught a touchdown pass and threw the key block that allowed Renn to score on his 72 yard-er. He was also a demon on defense all afternoon.

JUNIOR FULLBACK Fred Pickard accounted for the first TD almost singlehanded. FSU took the opening kickoff and marched 74 yards in 11 plays with Pickard carrying eight times. Pickard, No. 8 in the nation on rushing yardage, added 64 more yards in 15 tries yesterday. Renn carried only twice, ended with a total of 60 yards.

Sophomore halfback Jack Espenship scored the first TD on an eight yard pass play from Vic Prinzi. Renn got the second going all the way on his 72 yard run. Romeo got the third on a 24-yard pass play, also from Prinzi and junior quarterback Joe Majors got the final score from three yards out. KICKING specialist Johnny Sheppard converted after two scores and passed to Renn for another after the ball was fumbled in a placekick try. It wastne first time in three seasons that Sheppard has ever had his hands on the ball.

VPI, which has won two games in wet weather this year, appeared unable to cope with the rain and mud here yesterday. They fumbled six times and lost five of them. Not showing up in the official statistics are the dozens of times the Gobblers juggled the ball causing their attack to bog down.

ARMY'S DEFENSE, lethar Tulane Stuns Navy By BOB BASSIXE sporu Editor GAINESVILLE "I am," a slightly damp Vanderbilt Coach Art Guepe declared here yesterday, "considering a major change in the football rules a 59-minute game."

THEN CAME the zaniest play of the game. Sheppard in to kick the extra point picked up a high pass from center, started to run, reversed himself and threw a wobbly pass to Renn in the end zone for a two-point conversion. AS SOON as the fourth quarter opened, FSU moved into high gear, again sparked by Renn. The fleet FSU halfback picked up a VPI punt on his own 30, hesitated then darted down the middle to the Gobbler's 25 where he fumbled, Shaffer recovering. But on the next play, Bar-nette gave FSU the ball back when the fumbled and end Pete Fleming got it for FSU at the VPI 24.

On the next play, Prinzi rolled out and caught the VPI secondary flatfooted as he passed to Tony Romeo in the end zone for the TD. Romeo made a nice diving catch.

THE TULANE line proved unusually ferocious, and although quarterback Joe Tranchini of Navy completed 10 of 19 tosses, most of them were short gainers. The one successful Navy of- fensive was the exception to Tranchini's failure to click on long tosses. Throwing to Joe Bellino and Roland Brandquist, he advanced the ball from the Navy 29 to the Tulane 25, from here he passed to Bellino in the enc'-l zone for the Middies lone score. Bellino tried to run for two points and failed. Tulane was content to kick for one point after each touchdown.

PETITBON was the big man on both Tulane drives. the entire complexion of the contest. Woodruff said, "Rain is a great equalizer and it was a day for defensive football." GUEPE COMMENTED, "it was real rough going out there for the offensive." "Both lines played well," Woodruff said, "and I thought Fleming and Jimmy Dunn were outstanding for Florida and Tom Moore and George Diederich for Van derbilt. Dunn made some fine passes with a wet ball. Edg-ington Dan also played well." The coaches also thought well of their punters, who carried the brunt of the bur den.

"Boyce Smith did a good job for us, both in getting off his punts and in taking advantage of the one opportunity to run one back" Guepe said. WOODRUFF said, "Green's Bobby Joe 43-yard kicking was a tremendous factor in the game." Guepe agreed. "Florida is a fine football team. They have a strong line and fine ends. Green did a godd job of punt ing for them and Dunn hit his receiver perfectly when he had to." Guepe also concur ling nine-yard pass from Jim' my Dunn to Don Hudson with only eight seconds remaining here yesterday afternoon enabled Florida to salvage a 6-6 tie with Vanderbilt and keep homecoming from turning into a complete disaster.

FLORIDA'S bid for victory went down into the mud of soggy and rain-soaked Flori da Field when Joe Hergert's attempted kick for the PTA was blocked by Vandy halfback Tom Moore. The tie evened the Gators Southeastern Conference record at 1-1-1 and gave them, a 2-1-1 overall mark. IT WAS IRONICAL, after both teams had exhibited beautiful kicking games, that punts played a large part both touchdowns.

Smith's beautiful carry followed a Florida kick and tha Gators got their second real scoring chance of the football game due to a short Vandy punt. Late in the fourth period, the Gators had made their move, with Billy Booker and Jon MacBeth sparking an advance from the Florida 48 to Vandy's 13. ON THE FIRST play from that spot, however, MacBeth fumbled and guard Billy Grover claimed possession for the commodores. Vandy got nowhere fast and Smith's punt, into tha teeth of a bitter wind blowing at a 15 mph pace, ap-p a to be partially blocked. IT WOBBLED toward tha left sidelines and bounced out on the Gator 31 with just over two minutes of playing time remaining.

This set up tha drive which sent some 38,000 fans home most of them, happy to accept the deadlock. Booker skirted right end! for five yards. Dunn then aimed for Dan Edginton with an end zone pass, but it bounced off the end's shoulder. Don Deal went around left end for three, setting up a fourth and two situation on the Commodore 23. Ocala's Bob Milby picked up the first by smacking up the middla for three yards to the 20.

BY THIS TIME there wera 61 seconds remaining. Dunn hit Booker with a 13-yard aer ial and the time clock reached the 35 second mark. Deal went wide left for a yard from the 10 to the nine. From this point, little Jimmy hauled off and fired tha wet ball to Hudson, who was about five yards deep in the end zone and standing alone. Vanderbilt's score came with startling swiftness.

The teams opened the second half the same way they had ended the first by swapping kicks and laying for the breaks. WHEN THE break came, Vandy got it. Florida received the kick-off and punted on first down. The Commodores moved for two yards in three tries and kicked into the end zone. Florida again tried a first down punt.

Late in the third period. Virginia, led by quarterback Arnold Dempsey and halfback Fred Shepherd, drove to the Cadets' three-yard line.

There Army's line rose up to stop Shepherd three times on running attempts and finally took over the ball on the five after knocking down a desperate last-play pass. Later in the fourth period, Virginia moved deep into Army territory again but this time Bob Novogratz intercepted a Russell pass on the five and Army drove 95 yards to a touchdown.

red in Woodruffs opinion that Moore and Deiderich were outstanding then added a pair of his own boys to the list. "Billy Glover did a great job, too," he declared, "and Joe Bates, our No. 2 center, played the entire game." THE VANDY MENTOR wound up his comments by lauding Florida for its comeback, "after having one good drive stopped by a fumble." Florida fumbled on the 13 in the fourth quarter, but took advantage of a short, partially-blocked Vandy punt to move 32 yards for the game-knotting counter. "FLORIDA'S fumble on the 13 and Smith's good luck in getting his kick away were big points," Woodruff said. Smith ran a punt return 53 yards in the third quarter for the only Vandy score.

Woodruff pointed out, "they had excellent blocking on their touchdown run." Clemson Coach Frank Howard summed up the whole situation, however, on a somewhat similar occasion two years ago.
