Coach Dodd echoed this appraisal and called Graning's 28-yard carry for Tech's third touchdown "his finest run of the THE FUTURE, which did not look promising after the 23-0 defeat by LSU, looks no brighter today. Florida has to face Auburn. Georgia and Miami before the year draws to a close.

Auburn lost to Georgia Tech by only one poinfand will be a heavy favorite against Florida at Auburn later this year. Miami certainly looked good in its smashing verdict over Georgia Saturday. The year could very easily wind up 4-5-1 and there is no guarantee that Georgia won't make it look like 3-6-1 by upsetting the apple cart Saturday at Jacksonville. him in there to do a job for us and he did it." Graves, an assistant of Dodd's for more than a decade, admitted, "We had hoped to control the game more on the ground and threw less, but we had that early fumble, fell behind and had to change our plans and throw more." 1 PEPPER RODGERS, effervescent backfield coach, stood in the steamy Florida dressing room and frowned in concentration. "What can you he asked.

"The kids are trying as hard as they know how. We played as well as you can and still get beat, 20-0. The two key fumbles hurt us. that's the game. Gene Ellenson, the offensive line coach, said, "I can only speak for my particular area.

We didn't play bad ball against a fine football team. pass protection? It could have been better. But we "Actually I do appreciate what the boys did. I told them that just now because they said they were playing this one for me." He praised Tom Batten, who came on the spark two Florida threats in the second half. "We knew what he could do and that he's a fine football player.

He didn't surprise us. I don't think we were rushing him hard enough at the start. "WE STOPPED WHAT we were really worried about. They never got off a big run against us. I wasn't concerned as long as they kept hitting the short ones.

You give them those, protect against the long ones and hope you'll come up with an interception now and then." The formula worked to perfection yesterday. Graves also praised Batten's throwing. "He looked real good," the Florida coach said. "We sent By BOB BASSINE Sports Editor ATLANTA, Ga. Bobby Dodd Sr.

had three items of business to dispose of immediately after the whistle blew on Georgia Tech's 20-0 victory over Florida here yesterday. He accepted a joy ride on the shoulders of his players, exchanged the normal post-game congratulations with losing Coach Ray Graves and set off across the field to find his son, Bobby the Florida quarterback. ''Where's Bobby, Where's Bobby?" he asked as he pushed his way through well-wishing alumni and students. WHEN HE FOUND his son he patted his back lightly and simply commented, "That's okay, Bobby. You won yours there (last year) now we've won ours here." 'Playing For Me' The angular senior Dodd, dressed in a grey flannel suit and football shoes called, it, "one of the greatest defensive games we've ever played." Dodd was not as happy about his offense, wllich sputtered from time to time, particularly in the early stages.

"We made offensive errors it wasn't our best of the year but the defense was great," said Dodd. Florida gained but 62 yards on the ground, has not scored a touchdown in 10 straight quarters and lost the ball five times on fumbles and pass interceptions. DODD GRINNED broadly when asked if he thought the 20-0 win avenged last year's 18-17 defeat. "I told Ray earlier, I didn't mind him making his season by beating us last year, but darned if I wanted to make a habit of it. didn't feel we could hold them out all the way.

We didn't plan on passing that much until we got in that hole and couldn't climb Graves echoed the general sentiment that the Gators are trying but simply don't have enough physical strength to crack LSU and Tech, rated high in the nation's top 10. "WE'RE TRYING hard," Graves said of his youngsters. "A lot of kids are playing a lot of good football. And most of them will be back next year. But we don't have the experience and depth and still can't get that big play." He called Georgia Tech as he had Friday before the game, "one of the great ones." Graves added, "I wouldn't be surprised if they went all the way from "here.
