Claude Casey Miami Scores Ecsrly, Late To Upset Texas Christian Homecoming In Philly PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27 This excursion to play Villanova was something like "homecoming" for a few of Florida State's football people. Guard Al Pacifico, some years removed from boyhood days In Altoona, greeted a number of friends and relatives. End Ronald Schomburger, who more recently was a prep standout in Pittsburgh, was also doing lots of handshaking. Pennsylvanians Pacifico and Schomburger were appointed game captains for this one by Nugent, who never misses a chance to extract that little extra effort from a player with a psychological move.

The veteran Pacifico, who played football with the Marines before enrolling at FSU, confesses that he's thinking seriously of fixing his roots in Tallahassee rather than in Pennsylvania. A family man with three children now, Pacifico has" no real firm ties here. An orphan, he grew up under the care of an older sister.

Villanova scored first with a C0 yard march on the heels of a pss Interception, The sharp passing of Billy Mngee led the way and John Ferruolo skirted end from two yards out for six points. What hopes the Wildcats had of going ahead were immediately blunted when the Seminole retaliated with a 75-yard scoring parade. Renn'g running was the big lick. But it was Lee Corso's 9 yard pass to Joe Holt in the end zone that finally moved FSU in front, 20-7. away after a wild exchange of ball stealing and fumbles.

The touchdown was set up by recovery of a TCU fumble by Miami's Don Bosseler on the Texas Christian 17. The great Hurricane fullback gained one yard. Oliver drove to the TCU three, Ssm Scarnecchia sneaked to Inside the one in two plays, and from there Oliver went over. It was the first time in 16 games that TCU has failed to score.

The Wildcats, also known as the Main Liners, have been playing the game continuously since 1894. In recent years, the game's had tough sledding here. Out of 20 games in 1954 and 1955, the Wildcats won but two.

Still, going into Saturday night's struggle with FSU Villanova boasted a highly creditable record of 260 victories, 201 defeats, 32 ties. Some of Villanova's best days were under old Four-Horseman Harry Stuhdreler from 1925 through 1935. Stuhldreher had only one losing season In that span. In both 1937 and 1938, under Jlaurice Smith's coaching, Villanova had unbeaten Philadelphia, fans are certain Villanova is on its way back to football's top echelon. The current crew of sophomores may be the best the Wildcats have ever had.

Those reverses in recent years have dropped Villanova from the ranks of football's 20 "winningest" teams. Here's a recent tabulation of the top 20 winners of the last 35 years: PORT WORTH, Oct. 27 The Miami Hurricanes, who wouldn't admit they were two touchdown swept to first and fourth period touchdowns lOth-ranked Texas Christian tonigK 14-0.
