BERG SHOOTS 72 TO WIN Louise Suggs Second in Meet A RROLLTON, Ga, Sept 23. W) Red-haired Patty Berg shot a neat 72 today for a 54-hole total of 217 to win the $3,000 Inaugural Sunset Hills women's Invitational golf tournament. The little Minneapolis marksman was one stroke ahead of Louise Suggs, the tournament hostess, whose father owns the nine-hole course. The poker-faced Georgia pro held a 'one-stroke lead over Patty at the end of Friday's round, but lost out today when she missed a birdie on the last hole of the par 37 layout, which cost her a tie.

In third place with 226 was Betty Jameson of San Antonio, Texas, the National open champ In 1947, and following her by a couple of strokes was Helen Dett-weiler, the former Washington, slugger who now playa out Of Indio, Calif.

GEORGIA WINS OVER TERPS Maryland Fumbles Prove Costly ATHENS, Ga, Sept 23, W-The Giants of Georgia gathered Maryland fumbles for a rich harvest today as the Bulldogs battered their favored opponents to win a 27-7 upset.

An opening crowd of about saw Georgia win in what might be a resurrection of Southeastern conference football. Last season the SEC was weak and Georgia was among the weakest. Maryland is from the Southern Conference. There hardly was an outstanding star in the Georgia victory. There was no goat for Maryland.

Georgia played as a team after about 10 minutes of the first quarter both on offense and defense. Maryland was by far the better team at the first of the game but an expensive fumble tumbled from Len Davis's hand and from then on quality changed sides. DAVIS FUMBLE The Davis fumble was gathered by Georgia's Lukie Brunson on the Maryland 26. Nine plys later Georgia quarterback Billy Grant threw poorly to Fred Bllyeu who made a sailing catch for a touchdown. Bob Wal-ston kicked the point.

Six minutes after the second quarter opened Maryland tied the score on a slick pitchout from Johnny Scarbath to Bob Shem-onski for a touchdown, and a placement kick by Bob Dean. Georgia ball hawking on Maryland fumbles was near perfect. Five fumbles went to Georgia and they cost Maryland. GEORGIA LEAD In the third quarter Georgia took the lead, 14-7, on a quarterback sneak by Mai Cook from the one-yard line. The ball rocketed deep into Maryland territory on a wobbly pass from Bilyeu to end John Duke.

Duke had great blocking from Cook and Brunson. Wal-ston kicked his second of three placements. Billy Mixon, onj of Georgia's few fast backs, and big Dick Raber Last Half Uprisings AidSeveral Schools NEW YORK, Sept 23 (AP) Last half uprisings won football games for North Carolina, Texas Christian, Villa-nova, Fordham, Georgia and Iowa State today as the fall college sport made a hesitant appearance on the athletic stage. By GAINESVILLE, Sept 23 slid down the sideline with last quarter to give Florida Citadel here tonight. Citadel put together just one push.

It carried the Bulldogs to the Florida 10 yard line In the third quatrer. When reserve tackle Don Dans Kicked a field I goal, it looked like citaaei mignt get Its first win over Florida In the nine-game series. Florida moved deep In Citadel territory time after time. Four times the Gators got within 10 yards of a touchdown. Each drive came to grief when Florida's inexperienced sophomores made costly mistakes more than from Citadel defensive play.

A record opening game crowd, officially estimated at 25,000, suffered through Florida's many bobbles and lapses. Letterman guard Carroll Mac-Donald kicked the extra point for the four marker victory edge. Florida's biggest offensive weapon was the passing of Sophomore quarterback Haywood Sullivan, He threw 21 times, completing II for 113 yards. He gave the crowd quite a show with long, arching tosses; short hard over the line; and lobbing basket-ball type tosses to the backs. Just one was intercepted.

Sullivan and the nearly all-sophomore offensive team he quarterbacked made plenty of mistakes. They ran Into each other. They fumbled away the ball three times and many times grabbed their own bobbles for losses. Sam Ooosterhoudt. another sophomore who came In the game in the second half, did most of Florida's ground gaining.

He sparked one of the drives that didn't get over. He gained most of the 61 yards he covered in eight tries. Fullback Floyd Huggins, a Junior college transfer from Fort Scott, Kansas, was Florida's plunger. But he had little success against a rugged Citadel line, gaining a net of 22 yards In 13 carries. Like last year's Citadel team, this year's version had little offense.

It was hard to believe this team had run up 56 points against the Parris Island Marines a week ago. The only Citadel drive that got anywhere the one iJt ended in Davis' fieldgoal was a product of three straight pass completions by Chandler. He tossed 23 yards to Rudy Willcox, 17 to Jery DeLuca and eight to Fredle Bohlen. Those were the only Citadel passes completed of the 15 Chandler and touted sophomore Buddy Frled-lin tried. Friedlin, a Jacksonville, boy, had two of his six intercepted.

Nichols, a 170-pounder who has played his way into the Florida lineup by outstepping a host of higher publicized backs from Florida's major cities, burst into the scene midway in the fourth period with Citadel leading 3-0.

Grabbing Jack Chandler's 48-yard punt on the Orange and Blue 22. Nichols went to war. The lights on the west side of the field had been flickering off and on all night, leaving that portion of the gridiron In semi-gloom when the power failed. Three Gator linemen opened a lane up the boundary that was apparent evenin the gloom, and Nichols took off on the mail run. Sprinting past the mass of The Citadel squad he flashed into the clear around the 50, running like a thief.

Chandler, trying to pull the fat from the fire, overhauled Nichols from an angle on the 15 and made a desperate grab for his shoulder pacts, but Nichols shrugged him off like a good salesman ignores an Insult and flew to pay dirt. The play was completed with 7 minutes and 52 seconds of playing time remaining in the fourth period, and it spelled out victory in bright Orange and Blue letters. The Oators caught fire from there on and even threatened to score several more toes before the evening was over. For a team that was doped to win by 27 and 28 points it was an awful scare, worse than the one you get when you reach for a hip pocket and find your wallf missing. By mid-season or late In the fall I believe that the 27-polnt margin would be about right, but not tonight.

Citadel had pointed toward this game like a champion bird dog, and If it hadn't been for Nichols they would have sprung an upset to rank right along with Wofford's 19-H win over Auburn. Incidentally, the early season trouble the SEC teams ahe tng with these Carolina boys makes FSU look better and better. Over 25,000 fans, intrigued by the hidden potentials of this bunch of Florida sophomores, were on hand for this opener. For a time it appeared that the new addition to the stands and the presence of Woodruff and his staff were the only new features here In Gainesville. Florida's old lack of a goal-line punch, paydirt fumbles and ragged blocking were unpleasantly familiar.

But it was not the same old story this time. As an Indication of their courage the gentlemen named sat together high in the stands, directly In front of the open, temporary press box. At Gainesville it takes nerve to turn your back to the sports scribes, especially when you're getting beat by Citadel. When two Florida drives failed and Citadel stormed back to take the lead on Don Davis' perfect 10-yard placement there was a distant air of unhappiness. Fink and Harris exchanged comment briefly, with their heads turned away from the playing field.

President Miller glumly watched the lights on the scoreboard go Into action. After twinkling a 3 under Florida tne operator untrarked hiimrlf and flashed it under The Citadel. When Nichols got away, how-ever. Fink, Harris Powell, Miller WE WELCOME YOU AT TALLAHASSEE STATE BANK AND TRUST COMPANY Reeves, Cain, Rowe. Right tackle Hunter, Wilcox.

Stetson Scores In Every Period To Beat Troy DELAND, Sept 23. VPV Displaying a well balanced offense and defense, the Stetson Hatters scored in every quarter tonight In handing Troy (Ala) State Teachers a decisive 34-12 defeat. Stetson took the opening kick-off and marched 69 yards for the first score, with halfback Fred Hogan going over from the five. End Don Martin kicked the first of his four extra points. The Hatters recovered Chase Riddle's fumble on the Troy 28 as the first quarter ended.

He racd 751 ards for one score in the top c-f th night. Tech fought bu our by th Methe- dists, who were hiding the ball even from the crowd of 54.000 that rocked the Cotton Bowl.

Cats Beat LSU In SEC Opener By 14-0 Score LEXINGTON. Ky. Sept 23. M) Fullback Bill Leskovar exploded for a dazzling 54-yard smash off tackle in the second quarter to spark Kentucky to a 14-0 victory over Louisiana State University In the Southeastern Conference football opener here tonight.

Leskovar scored on the next T)lay from one foot out and Ken tucky went on to dominate Dixie gridiron headliner before 35,500 fans. Driving like a bulldozer, the 195-pound Junior halfback struck four vital smashes at the rugged Louisiana line in Kentucky's other touchdown drive in the fourth period, with quarterback Vlto Panlli tallying from the one-yard line. The vicory was the second whitewash in a row for the Ken-tuckians the league's Orange Bowl entrant last year over the Southeastern's Sugar Bowl club of a year ago. Kentucky opened with a double wing offense that featured Parilli in the tailback slot and took to the air on 12 of the first 14 offensive plays. ATTACK MOVES The attack got the Kentuckians into LSU territory at the 39 but the receivers werent too sharp and Kentucky switched to its T.

Louisiana State got to Kentucky's one-foot line as the third frame opened, came back to the 14 in the same period and advanced to the six near the end of the period. In between Kentucky went to the four once, and to the 1 yard line again. The big difference in the team was Leskovar, the aFirmont, Va, Junior, who charged and churned through the line for 171 vards on 24 carries to average a re.spectable 7.2 yards a try. Reserve fullback Harold Wod-dell started Kentucky's first goal-ward drive by intercepting Lee Hedges' pass at the Kentucky 25 and returning to the 45. Leskovar sliced off tackle on the next play, cut to the near side and churned 54 yards to the LSU one as he picked up two key blocks en route.

The burly fuilback capped his explosive run with a one-yard leap over center. Then halfback Bobby Brooks converted to make It 7-0 with 1:27 left in the half.

Vols Display Running Power In Grid Opener KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Sept 23, (IP) Displaying a powerful running attack that produced touchdowns in every quarter, Tennessee rolled to an easy 56 to 0 win over Missisippi Southern today. A listless crowd of 23,000 watched as Gen Bob Neyland trotted out a flock of fine running backs to usher in his 25th anniversary season at Tennessee. The Vols' downfield blocking, a trademark of great Tennessee teams of the past, produced a host of long runs, topped by Bert Rechichar's 72-yard return of one of Clint Arnela's punts for a touchdown in the third stanza. Hank Lauricella was in the driv er's seat for Tennessee's first two touchdowns.

Fullback Dick Ems-berger scored the first with a three-yard plunge Lauricella got the second a m.oment later from the same spot after a 42-yard irfarch.

Santa Clara tallied a touchdown in the first and a safety In the second period. Two costly fumbles bv the Bears led to all Santa Clara's points.
