Again on the Lion 36 a double- forward failed to connect and it like marcn WLS over, but the Lions were caught for five yards on an offsides assessment, and Adams then eked out the necessary yardage for a first down. Gray, running better than he has all season churned up 114 yards in 18 to set the offensive spark and keep the Lions in the ball game. The little senior star continually came up with the necessary yardage in the clutch, and on several occasions fought his way free from the secondary to go for additional vital yards.

Ashmore was a consistent gainer on reverse plays, and once came up with a terrific tackle in the open field that kept Breedin from going all the way on a screen pass. On the defense Kirby, Capt Earl Brown and Johny Sheppard led the way. The Lions, however, had difficulty so'ving the 'Cane attack as Adams, Breedin and Billy Passan clicked off consistent gains. Breedin was Gainesville's top runner with 103 yards, but it was Adams' passing which kept the 'Canes clicking. He connected with eight for 13, and would have had a far better average had his receivers held his accurate tosses.
