CENTRAL FLORIDA EDITION Florida Defense Preserves 70 Win Over Rice Brodsky Scores Only Touchdown From Six By BOB PRICE Staff Writer GAINESVILLE Clutch defensive work shoved the Florida Gators past Rice's air-minded Owls here yesterday as a first-quarter touchdown stood up for a 7-0 triumph. Rice won In statistics, rolling up 17 first downs to seven and had a total yardage gain of 270 to 189, but the Fighting Tulane Surprises Navy, 21-6 NEW ORLEANS Little Gene Newton's two touchdown passes and uncanny quarter backing guided Tulane to a 21-6 intersectional football upset victory over Navy yesterday. Tulane, showing a 'vastly superior line, scored in the first quarter on a 74-yard march, in the third on a 63-yard drive, and in the fourth on a 59-yard drive. Navy was unable to push across a touchdown until the final two minutes against a Tulane made up of reserves.

Rice threw 32 times during the ball game, but the charging forward wall 6f Florida never allowed the visiting passers to get set in the clutch. LARRY WESLEY was the big horse in the Gator line, but he had plenty of help from end to end. Dan Pelham, Gene Graves and linebacker Ed Sears were other defensive standouts. Graves led in the unassisted tackling department for Florida with seven. On the offensive, bulldozing Joe Brodsky and lithe Jim Rountree pierced the Rice forward wall with ease not found against Clemson and Kentucky.

King Hill punt on the Florida 45 and picked his interference carefully to go all the way.

But the play was nullified when the officials ruled that the Rice kicker had been roughed and the Owls had a first down on their own 23. Sophomore Jimmy Dunn called a masterful game at quarterback mixing the plays so that Rice could never get set.

The Owls had defeated Alabama and LSU in previous starts. The Owls depended solely on the throwing arms of Frank Ryan and Hill and their chief target was Ray Chilton. Chilton was the top ground gainer with eight yards in 19 carries as Rice gained but 49 yards on the ground from scrimmage.

Woodruff Credits Team Play By BOB PRICE Staff Writer GAINESVILLE "They didn't get that home run, so we won ourselves a ball game," commented Coach Bob Woodruff, who quickly added that it was a team victory.

"They tossed and tossed, but when they came to needing a payoff pitch, we stopped them. Larry Wesley did. a magnifi-cient job. But it was a team job that produced the win," Woodruff emphasized. JOE BRODSKY, the hard-hitting fullback from Miami, was another who heaped praise on the Florida defensive forces and Wesley in particular.

Brodsky stated that his. shoulder hurt some, but he felt real good most of the time. Brodsky also complimented Jimmy Dunn's job at quarterback. "He called a whale of a ball game." He added, "We have a good team and when we stop getting penalized, we will win a lot of ball games." Woodruff said he was sure that the Florida pass defense received one of its hardest tests it will likely face this season. "I've never seen a passer much better than that boy Ryan, but our defense didn't let him break loose for that long run that hurt Alabama and LSU." COACH JESS Neely said that the Owl passers didn't get the protection they needed.

He lauded the end work of Florida's Dan Pelham and Don Fleming, both sophomores. Neely said that Florida stacked up about like they had thought, but the defensive work in the clutches was the turning point. Woodruff was quick to reveal that Spears called that quick kick which sailed 75 yards, on his own. KING HILL, the 205-pound versatile back for Rice, said he hadn't been hit any harder than by the ramming smashes of Wesley. "Boy, that boy travels and when he hits, you go down." One of the Florida trainers summed up the whole issue when he said, "Our gang of Gators knew they had a job to do and they did it.

KENTUCKY never found the formula for stopping Lorino, Auburn's principal ground gainer this season. The fleet sophomore from Bessemer, whom Ken tucky had sought, gained 105 yards in 10 carries to inspire Auburn to its first league victory. Lorino's sparkling sweep came on third down and eight from his 17. Seemingly tripped at the line of scrimmage, he cut back and aimed for the far sideline to romp to the Ken tucky 15. Three plays carried to the six and after Auburn was set back for holding, Tubbs fired his scoring pass.

The final drive consumed only four plays after Kentucky's Delmar Hughes fumbled and center Frank Reeves recovered for Auburn at the 20.
