Rosenberg returned a punt 36 yards to set up one touchdown and Robinson rambled 38 yards to score after picking off a pass. These two plays put the Bulldogs on the right track after a bumbling start and gave them a comfortable 20-7 halftime lead. James Ray quarterbacked his second straight victory with soph sensation Andy Johnson recovering from a leg injury.

Ray kept the Bulldogs express rolling to three more touchdowns in the third quarter before iving way to Steve Watson. Ray passed sparingly and didn't go to the air in any of the first four touchdown drives. Then he surprised Florida with a 38-yard scoring pitch to flanker Jimmy Shirer. Florida was fired up at the start but the momentum shifted as Georgia proved it was far superior. The Bulldogs had been beaten by the Gators' John Reaves-to-Carlos Alvarez passing combination as freshmen, sophomores or juniors.

Reaves completed 9 passes in 21 attempts for 87 yards. Alvarez, playing sparingly because of arthritic knee, was shut out. Ray beat Reaves' passing statistics with 7 of 12 for 127 yards. if i t-v 41 ifo iB 1 i twewii Henry Lawrence Moves In for Tackle Calvin Moore fumbled after the hit Associated Press Wirephoto Ricky Lake Goes Over a Pileup for a TD Paul Fersen (75), one of the Bulldog blockers Dickey Remark Brings Quick Reaves Retort JACKSONVILLE (AP) The humiliation of Florida's 49-7 loss to Georgia Saturday brought to the surface a simmering tension betweeen coach Doug Dickey and quarterback John Reaves. Dickey told newsmen he thought the turning point was a pass interception which gave Georgia its third touchdown and a 20-0 lead in the second quarter.

Newsmen, moving from the coach's room to the team dressing room, asked Reaves if he agreed. "Of course," Reaves replied sarcastically, "everything I do wrong is the turning point." Associated Press Wirephoto FAMU then took over and Montgomery came out throwing. He hit tight end James Black with a nine yarder and then sent Dough Davis up the middle for the first down. Two plays later, he fired a 34 yard strike to Jim Long at the Bronco 19. Rackley got four over right tackle and Black missed his first pass of the season when he dropped an easy one at the Santa Clara 10.

Montgomery then missed Bobby Brinson on third down and the Rattlers settled for a 33-yard field goal by Champion to make it 21-10 with 46 seconds left in the first half. AN ONSIDE KICK was covered by Santa Clara on the Bronco 44 and LeBaron immediately hit Winnegan with a 12-yarder to move to the FAMU 44.

The University of Santa Clara threw a surprise package of speed at Florida University here Saturday and the Rattlers were left in the wake as they fell 29-16 to the Broncos of the West Coast. Flanker James Winegan, with blinding speed and moves to spare, blazed his way into the Santa Clara record book at the expense of Florida vulnerable secondary. The 9'7 sprinter caught eight passes for 247 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Bronco quarterback Clyde LeBaron also had a field day, completing 16 of 24 passes for 324 yards and three touchdowns before 18,560 largely pro Florida fans at Oakland Coliseum. The intersectional contest pitted the brute strength of the Rattlers against the finesse and execution of the Broncos and Santa Clara came out on top in the statistics as well as on the scoreboard.

The Broncos out-rushed the Rattlers 159-137 and out-passed them 336-121 for an edge in total offense of 495 to 258 yards. To compound the defeat the Rattlers lost starting quarterback Rodney Montgomery early in the second half. The nature and extent of his injury was not immediately known. James (Rack) Rackley was the game's leading individual rusher with 68 yards and one touchdown in 14 attempts. Santa Clara drew first blood with just over three minutes left in the opening quarter as LeBaron passed five yards to running back Alex Damascus culminating an 86-yard drive.

THE RATTLERS struck back lightening fast when Montgomery threw a 31-yard scoring pass to Fred Warren and John Champion booted the point after to tie the score at 7-7 with 1:29 to go in the period The drive covered 56 yards in seven plays. Shortly afterward, LeBaron teamed up with Winegan to electrify the crowd with a school-record 84-yard touchdown pass. Winegan outmanu-vered Leroy Powell, took the ball on the 50, and won the race to the end zone.

To his co-workers and the probtioners he counsels, he is Ellis Burton, businessman, not Ellis Burton, ex-athlete. "I didn't make it out of the ghetto myself because I was a baseball player," he says.

"I made it out because I was determined to, and because I was fortunate enough to have a decent education. That's how they'll make it, too." He got the education at two Seventh-day Adventist schools his parents sent him to, but the schools fielded no teams, so in his senior year he persuaded his parents to enroll him at a city school. He led his league in hitting, was voted all-city, and signed after graduation with the Pittsburgh Pirates. In the next 11 years, he wore 11 different uniforms, and the dream began to wear thin. "I never expected to become a star anyway, just a major leaguer," he says.

"After I had finally made it with St. Louis in 1958, I'd achieved that dream, and I also realized I didn't want to become old at 30. 1 mean, once you're through as a major leaguer, where do you go from there?"

Ricky Lake came out ahead in the touchdown derby with a pair but picked up only 29 yards as he played himself back into condition after missing three games with an injury.

Shirer's booming punts kept Florida bottled up in its own territory most of the way. Georgia didn't have to go more than 58 yards for any of its seven touchdowns. Florida's best runner was fullback Mike Rich with 35 yards in 14 attempts. The defeat was Florida's seventh of the season and kept the Gators winless in the Southeastern Conference.

LOS ANGELES (AP) When Ellis Burton was 14, he was playing baseball against 25-year-old men in a fast city league.

In his only year of high school ball, he hit .500 despite a broken finger, and his coach, who had been around a long time, called him "the greatest high school shortstop I've ever seen." At 5-foot-9 and 160 he was nicknamed "Bones" by his first minor league teammates. But he had enough power to hit homers from opp site sides of the plate in two National League games whil playing for the Chicago Cubs tying a league record. And he remember one glorious minor league inning for Toronto in 1961. "I drove in seven runs in that inning," he recalls with a smile. "One was a grand slam.

I'm the only pro baseball player ever to switch-hit homers in the same inning." With is 9.6 speed in the 100-yard dash, it might have been said that Ellis Burton, like Willie Mays, was born to play ball. But it wouldn't But it wouldn't be said by Burton. "Business," he says, "that's my thing." It's been his thing since 1965, when he quit the Cubs after 11 years as a professional baseball player to become an insurance executive. Six years later he is assistant manager for loans at a Bank of America branch in suburban Sylmar.

Bunce went six yards into the end zone on the run that put Stanford ahead.
