The Seminoles, their backs to the wall through much of the game, held For Seminoles By ELGIN WHITE News-Journal Sports Correspondent GAINESVILLE The scene in the Florida State Dressing room following the Seminoles" heart-breaking 3-0 loss to Florida Saturday was hardly one of elation but then again, it was certainly not one of dejection. Coach Bill Peterson went to each of his players and slapped him on the back. "It was a fine game." he said, "You played it tough out there, and you have nothing whatsoever to be ashamed of." Then turning away, with a visible tear in Staff Sports Writer (See Story Page One) Jon MacBeth of Pensacola has had many headlines in his career as a football player, but none brought him more honor than the one Saturday.

The 21-year-old fullback for Florida revealed Saturday that he powcrtui lortcta to a scant 3-0 margin before 38,000 at Flordia Field.

Those kids played their hearts out.

They are a wonderful, magnificent bunch. 1 am extremely proud of them." Marianna's Bud Whitehead plenty of praise for his teammates, and for the victorious Gators as well. "Our boys sure played hard. It was a tough one to lose. But Florida has a fine team.

"We tried hard. Gee. I hated to lose that one. Florida has a fine defensive team, and well, next year's another story." Assistant coach Don James sat on an open foot locker, slowly sipping a coke. "They played it great.

That kind of ball game is tough to lose. But our boys did a fine job. I'm sure proud of them." Florida's captain, Bill Hood, burst into the Seminole dressing-room and sought out Tony Romeo, FSU game captain. "You have a fine team. You played a great game.

I certainly want to wish you the best of luck the rest of the season," Hood said. Romeo, who was a standout on defense for the Seminoles, nodded, smiled, and choked back his obvious disappointment. Ed Trancygier, the transfer standout from Iowa, was a perspiring picture of disappointment. When congratulated on his fine play, Trancygier merely looked up, smiled, and nodded in appreciation. Assistant coach Vince Gibson, hoarse from sideline yelling, had a concluding word that spoke well of the tremendous game the Seminoles played against the favored Florida team.

Standing sad-faced in the Florida State dressing room after Florida had defeated his Seminoles, 3-0, he declared "I second-guessing now, but we should never have gone for the field goal the way things turned out.

6 "We should have gone for the first down, we had a chance to win. Then, when an assistant coach pointed out the decision was reached with 12 minutes left in the game, Peterson perked up a bit. "I know," he replied. "We needed to tie the game then. There was plenty of time left.

But the turn of events after we missed the kick makes our decision a mistake." Peterson was pining over a fourth-down situation early In the fourth quarter, when FSU needed eight yards for a first-down. Ken Kestner was called on to do the booting from the 29, and his attempt was half-deflected, very weak and very wide of the mark. "He (Kestner) can kick 10 out of 10 like that in practice," the Seminole head coach moaned. Peterson, for all his disappointment, had to be proud of the Tribe's effort in a game it was tagged to lose by at least 12 points. "I told our boys they had nothing to be ashamed of," he said.

"I told them to keep their heads up because we believe we are going to have a good football team." Graves Praises the Seminoles Florida's coach Ray Graves had little time to think about the game immediately after the grudge battle ended. With reporters swarming all over Jon MacBeth, whose cooperation with officials foiled a bribery attempt on the Florida campus Saturday; Graves-rushed the' Perisacola- boy into the dressing room and kept him undet hissing as long as possible: Finally addressing members of the press. Graves said Florida State had played "inspired football" and congratulated Peterson for the manner in which the Seminole mentor handled his substitutions. FSU was outmanned in numbers, but Peterson alternated three teams and Graves said the Gators never were able to wear the Seminoles down; Graves said the Gators' performance "certainly wasn't good enough to cope with most of the teams we have left on our schedule. There's a lot of work to be done before next Saturday's game (here) against Georgia Tech," The new Florida coach pointed out that penalties and mis-fakes stopped a lot of Florida drives, but he said "it was our defense that got us" In the holes more than anything Graves praised Fullback.

Tfie Hitting Was Good Play in this 3-0 game, which resulted in a 30 series lead for the Gators, was the hard-hitting kind as usual. Living testimony was Bud Whitehead, Seminole halfback who walked out of the dressing room with stitches across his forehead. The Marianna senior, spotting Gator halfback Gene Page coming his way, told the Tallahassee product: "You sure let me bold one out there, boy." Then they smiled, patted each other on the back and shook hands.

This was Whitehead's third and last attempt against the Gators. "It looks like every year we come down here and play a good game but get "I've never wanted to win a game" more than this. So. it seems, did a lot of kids on a wet Saturday afternoon. They sure hit like it, at least.
