Last year the Seminoles thumped the Chocs 26-6 in the fJ crossroads for both elevens. FSU Practice Cut PENSACOLA The Florida State University Seminoles were limited to a short workout here this afternoon when bus trouble delayed the squad's arrival. The Indians, who were slated to go through a lengthy drill, got in only a half hour of work in the dusk. The Seminoles next stop Is Hattiesburg, Miss.

Both teams lost only one man from their regular 1948 elevens, and both necessarily run deep in reserves. The Choctaws, rated considerably stronger this year, will be playing their third game of the season. They opened up with a convincing victory over Arkansas State, then bowed last weekend to Louisiana College. FSU opened its campaign last weekend by routing Whiting Field's Bluejays 74-0.

FSU Weakened FSTJ will enter the tilt Saturday night below top strength. Both offensive end Norman Eubanks and defensive flank specialist Leonard Melton were left home nursing leg Injuries. Eubanks, who doubles as Second string guard Frank Marcus is also on the doubtful list. The Choctaws will apparently enter the ball game near full strength. The collision of the two Dixie contenders is expected to evolve into a scoring battle with the Seminoles matching their veteran scoring brigade of Ken MacLean, Red Parrish, Buddy Strauss and Walter Foy against the Choctaws deceptive double wing attack spearheaded by triple threater Davy Lee.

It's no secret that FSU Coach Don Veller has been concerned all week about the ability of his Indians to halt the Chocs' puzzling attack that specializes in reverses, double-reverses and tricky pass patterns. have to shackle Wilber Hunter and Bill Rowland, who have been consistent ground gainers all fall. Earl Jefferson, who is supposed to be able to "threat a needle," will do the passing for the 'Dors. The Jefferson-Howell combination has been particularly effective this year.
