Halfback Wendell Bmante Gator Pair Dazzle In 21 to 17 Triumph By AL PADGETT Sports Editor GAINESVILLE Larry Libertore, thought to be crippled, and Lindy Infante, a pure hog about touchdowns, set a dazzling pace Saturday afternoon as Florida's Gators christened the 1961 football season with a 21-17 victory over Clemson. Pint-sized Larry, showing no signs of an ankle injury that put his playing status in doubt, pulled the trigger on the big plavs that carried Florida from a 3-0 deficit to a triumph that was in the yard-earned category but somewhat less suspenseful than the final tally might indicate. Libertore, 137 pounds of quarterback lightning, passed for Florida's first touchdown, set up the second with a brilliant running exhibition and made the clinching tally possible with a 43-yard aerial that deposited the football on the Clemson 1.

Infante, 178 pounds of halfback determination, scored all three Gator TDs. Gators Praise Defeated Foe GAINESVILLE (AP) Larry Libertore and other Florida football players were lavish in their praise of the Clemson team following the Gators' 21-17 victory Saturday. ''They hit so hard I thought I had some cracked ribs a couple of said the 138-pound Libertore who recovered from an ankle injury in time to play. "I forgot about my ankle out there," he said, "and I just did my best." His best was 95 yards passing and 66 running for 1G1 of Florida's total 240 yards gained. Libcrtore's long passing was much improved over last year when he was a sophomore sensation.

"Maybe I have a little more experience," Libertore said. "I'm throwing the same." Libertore stepped on the scales after the game and weighed 133'i. He last pounds in the game but he said they'll come back on by next Saturday when Florida meets Florida State here. Coach Ray Graves of Florida used such adjectives as "great" and "marvelous" in speaking of Libertore. Frank Howard, beginning his 22nd year as Clemson head coach, wasn't as enthusiastic.

(AP) Sophomore quarterback Don Caum picked up a faltering Penn State offense Saturday to thwart Navy's bid for an upset, 20-10. For three quarters the Navy line led by end Greg Mather contained the Nittany Lions offence except for senior halfback Don Jonas. Jonas scored State's first touchdown on a 6-yard sprint around end, kicked the extra point and later added two field goals as State struggled fitfully against the two-touchdown underdogs. Until Caum's entry in the final quarter, however, the Lions, rated in pre-season forecasts as the leading contender for Navy's Eastern championship, couldn't find the right offensive combination. Meanwhile, junior quarterback Ron Klemick and Bob Hecht gave Navy a passing superiority that kept the Middies ahead until Jonas' second field goal, in the fourth quarter.

Klemick's passing produced a score with the season 'less than five minutes old when he hit Jim Stewart with an over the line shot for the final 2 yards in a 60-yard drive. A 31-yard pass from Hecht to halfback Bob Bcall set up a 45-yard field goal by Mather with less than five seconds remaining in the half. 7 3 0 0-10 7 0 3 1020 2 pass from Klemic Perin Sate Navy s'rd (Matner kick), PSU Jas i run (Jons kick). psu-fg janas 31. 25 i PSJ Caum rvn (Jonas k.ck).

He spent his debut day in Athens General Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery Friday night for appendicitis. Fracchia, 185-pound junior fullback, shouldered a major share of an Alabama attack that dealt Georgia its first loss at Sanford Stadium in 13 games stretching back into the forepart of the lti.jb' season. He plunged a yard for the first maneuver with a great over-the-head catch and was slammed to earth on the Clemson 20.

After two smacks at the Tiger line netted only three yards, Libertore went to the air again. This time Infante slipped liehind the Tigers in th end zone, but he had to snare an elusive football after a Clemson defender managed to get a deflecting hand in the way. Cash's boot, the one of field goal dimensions, made it 7-3 with 15 seconds of the first quarter (CONTINUED ON PAGE SB) ty well sewed things up with touchdown drives of 45, 72 and 32 yards that ended in scores by halfback Tommy Griggs, quarter back Stan Fischer and halfback Tony Ulehla.

V- JV I i 1 r. Cavaliers End Loss Streak, Down JACKSON, Miss. (UPD-Doug Elmore, after playing two years as an understudy to all-America Jake Gibbs, made a stout bid for fame Saturday by leading Mississippi to a 16-0 victory over Arkansas in a battle of defending champions. Florida was ahead by 14-3 at halftime and held a 21-10 advantage with the third period just beyond the midway point. It didn't particularly please a partisan audience of 42,000, but a Clemson touchdown with 1:41 to play was anticlimactic.

The issue had already been resolved. Not that Clemson was that easy. Definitely not. The hard-hitting Tigers knocked Florida around early in the game and drew first blood when Lon Armstrong booted a 31-yard field goal in the first period. Florida was ahead before the quarter ended, however nine Falls, 16-0 THE YARDSTICK ARK.

That was Elmore, who nailed him. Arkansas, despite 89 degree weather, played its first unit most of the game. Mississippi, the de fending Southeastern Conference champion, had its first unit chiefly on offense and the second unit was used mostly on defense.

Eglin Pins Loss On WYAA, 19-13 EGLIN AFB (Special) Quarterback Jimmy Bailey scooted 37 yards in the final minute Saturday night to give Eglin AFB a 19-13 victory over Warrington outh Athletic Association in a boy's football game. It was the third touchdown scored by Bailey. He went over earlier on runs of 19 and 10 yards. Bruce Cook counted Warrington's first touchdown on a 55-yard run and Bruce Holliday got the second from six yards out. Holliday also ran for the extra Armstrong booted true on both PAT attempts.

Clemson, big and strong as re puted, controlled the ball as many pre-game observers had predicted. Florida had the offense when needed, though, and that overcame a deficit in the statistics. In a deviation from the script, Clemson discarded its grind-it-out tactics in the second half and proved Florida's pass defense to be deficient. i Sophomore Jim Parker and junior Joe Anderson, alternating at quarterback for the Tigers, passed for 106 and 84 yards, respectively. Libertore completed three of six tosses for a tell-tale 95 yards.

On the ground, lame ankle or not, he reeled off 66 yards. Infante netted only nine yards on four carries, but three of his attempts came in situations where people less stout of heart quite! possibly would not have succeed- ed. On both TO smashes, and on another effort from the 3, Infante blasted through or over Tigers like they weren't even around. The game started as if Clemson had written the story in advance. The Tigers stopped Florida cold in the early stages and rolled to their 3-0 lead with 4:33 left in the first period.

Armstrong's kick, never ia doubt, came after Clemson had nsed a wind advantage to make the most of a series of punts. The scoring drive was engineered in true Tiger style as they steadily ground out the yardage after taking possession at the Florida 44. The key plays to field goal range were an 11-yard dash J.

Jt. -5 The big question concerning Mississippi's chances of producing another powerhouse had been how it would fare without Gibbs, the top college quarterback in the nation last year. With a national television audience and a sellout crowd of 46,000 watching, Elmore gave every indication Ole Miss had little to worry about at quarterback. The rugged senior from Alabama, who couldn't get a scholarship in his home state, directed the Rebels on three long scoring drives. The first, covering 68 yards in six plays, was climaxed with a 35-yard pass from Elmore to end Woody Dabbs.

The second saw Elmore guiding Ole Miss 71 yards to set up a 22-yard field goal by West Sulli-vaan. For good mesure, Elmore put together an 80-yard drive which ended with halfback Art Doty plunging over from the 2. Arkansas, the defending South west. Conference champion, was supposed to have one of the na tion's most explosive backfields led by all-America prospect Lance Alworth. But the razorbacks could do little against Mississippi's rugged line, which outweighed Arkansas 20 pounds per man.

Alworth came close to breaking loose three or four times, but couldn't find the necessary blockers. On one kickoff, Alworth, who led' the nation in kickoff returns CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) Virginia won a football game at last Saturday.

It was the first victory for Virginia since it upset Duke 15-12 Sept.

27, 1958. Since then the Cavaliers had equalled Kansas State's major college record for non-stop failure.
