Jim Bouton left nine Cardinals stranded on the bases while he matched pitch for pitch with Curt Simmons in a fine battle until Mantle ripped into the first ball dished up by Schuftz, the 38-year-old knuckleball artist.

It was a typical Yankee crash finish to a bitterly-fought third game as Mantle smashed Babe Ruth's home run record with one swing of his bat. Mantle, his legs taped tightly pgainst further injury, had been hitting right-handed against S'mmons, a lefty.

The Seminoles, who entered Campbell Stadium as three-point underdogs, climbed on the Wildcats for 21 points in the first quarter, added another touchdown in the second and had things all their own way the rest of the sun-kissed afternoon. A homecomng crowd of 34.248 about fi.000 shy of the pnticipated sellout watched the walloping of the previously undefeated Kentucky team that counted Mississipoi and Auburn among its victims.

i 1 By LEO COUGHLIN Assistant Sports Editor GAINESVILLE Florida put all the football ingredients together here Saturday, wrapped it into one package and dumped it on Mississippi for a 30-14 explosion, the worst defeat the Rebels have taken since 1953 when Maryland beat them, 38-0. Florida held the heretofore respected Ole Miss offense to a total of 80 yards on the ground and 77 through the air as the Gators rolled up 210 rushing and 161 passing. The Gators scored on a long march, a field goal, a punt runback and two aerials. Tommy Shannon, Bob Lyle, Allen Trammell and the Steve Spurrier-Charles Casey combo did the honors. The Wise 01' Al AL PADGETT Sports Editor Psychic Dawson LA ft his Florida Slate in football combat TALLAHASSEE Shortly before Seminoles faced fifth-ranked Kentucky undefeated teams got together on the Campbell Stadium turf? He could have slept peacefully Friday night.

Sleepy or not, however, Bill Peterson was doing no complaining in the FSU dressing room after the stunning exhibition was done. "Our play was phenomenal," he said. "This was our big opportunity and the kids took advantage of it," the coach added. "If we'd missed this chance against a nationally-ranked team that had beaten people like Ole Miss and Auburn, we might never have had such an opportunity again." 'Kicked in Teeth' Peterson was quick to call it a team victory, in winning ccach tradition, but he was just as quick to plug his famous passing combination for All-America honors. "I'm now fully convinced (Steve) Tensi and (Fred) Biletnikoff are All-Americans in anyone's book." Tensi passed for three touchdowns in the game that was FSU all the way, and Biletnikoff nabbed two of the payoff tosses despite being double-teamed by the Wildcats all afternoon.

Peterson said he had no regrets about Kentucky breaking the Seminoles' record of being unscored-on right at the end of the game. A fumble by sophomore Pat Conway set up the score at the FSU 2. "But remember Pat's a youngster and he certainly didn't intend to make a mistake like that," Peterson said. "Besides, I'd rather give a sophomore the experience of playing against a team like Kentucky than hold them scoreless. Over in the Kentucky dressing room, Coach Charlie Bradshaw summed it up in six worlds: "They kicked us in the teeth," he said.

"FSU carried the battle to us their whole team was great," Bradshaw continued. "We tried to put the rush on (CONTINUED ON PAGE ID) Bringing their record to 3-0 for the season with a performance that could attract the top ten polls, Florida carried a 10-7 lead to the dressing room at halftime and then went wild in the second half with Trammell starting matters with a sensational runback of a Rebel punt that covered 55 yards to paydirt. Ole Miss scored early and late the first time tying the Gators and the last when it was Saturday afternoon, Coach Bill Peterson said he wasn't worried about the team being ready to play its best game. "Only thing I'm wondering is whether our best is good enough," Peterson said. He must have been kidding.

Several hours earlier, during a homecoming pep rally Friday night, FSU end Red Dawson announced over the public address system that the Seminoles would play a good game. "And we'll win," Dawson said. He must have been psychic. It doesn't seem fair. Dawson should have told his coach what was coming.

How could Peterson know FSU's best effort would murder Kentucky, 48-6, when the two GATORS LARRY DUPREE (35) FIGHTS FOR TWO-YARD GAIN AGAINST OLE MISS Bill Sumrall (84) makes the stop for the proud Rebels (Pensacola News-Journal-UPI Telepholo) iichbourg Warns of no help and saw its record go to 2-2 as the Rebels suffered the second of two stunning setbacks in three weeks. Kentucky decked the Rebels, Poes ators' 27-21, as the Wildcats made a New Loo bid for fame, and perhaps the Florida boys got the idea that weekend in Jackson because the Gators had the most of everything Saturday and 47,003 teams to beware the new look Gators." Defensive tackle Dennis Murphy echoed Richbourg's feeling. "We definitely were not ready for the Tigers. But we Major Grid Scores reference to the number of look-in passes he caught Saturday with Ole Miss players hanging on him. "Like Eerry says, you have to concentrate on catching the ball first.

Then you worry about breaking your neck falling." "The Ole Miss players were awfully slow in the second half," said sophomore wing-back Don Knapp who reeled off 50 yards in his only run of the afternoon. "The Rebel players were spiritless. They just stood there and watched me while our blockers were cutting them iown." "Mississippi wasn't as big and tough as I expected them to be," said offensive guard hp fc 1 4 v. v. i af! 1 1 sx I v', Z' 1 -v i 4 i RICHBOURG BROWN By GROVER ROBINSON News-Journal Sports Bureau GAINESVILLE "The sprint-out has been Ole Miss' bread and butter play for the past 10 years, so you see why we were so well prepared for the Rebels Saturday," defensive end Barry Brown explained following Florida's 30-14 drubbing of Mississippi.

"Lynn (Matthews) and I keyed to Jim Weatherly looking for the sprint-out," Brown continued. "The halfbacks crossed to the inside while Weatherly faked and went to the outside. We stopped their best play and won the game." Bill Richbourg warned Florida's remaining opponents to beware of the "new look Gators." "Mississippi has some great individual players, but they don't play together as a team," Richbourg said. "On the other hand, we played like a unit. If the defense goofed up, the offense came in and moved us out of a jam.

"We were fortunate that the Louisiana State game was rained out last week," Richbourg continued. "The team was down last week. The team cohesion was breaking just like EAST Penn State 7, Army 2 Syracuse 39, UCLA 0 Pittsburgh 14, West Virginia 0 Yale 15, Brown 7 Colgate 10, Holy Cross 0 Harvard 3, Columbia 0 Cornell 33, Penn 0 Princeton 37, Dartmouth 7 Rutgers 20, Lehigh 7 Villanova 34, Detroit 0 Massachusetts 30, Connecticut 0 MIDWEST Ohio State 26, Illinois 0 Michigan 17, Michigan State 10 Iowa 21, Indiana 20 Notre Dame 34, Air Force 7 Purdue 28, Wisconsin 7 Minnesota 21, Northwestern 18 Kansas 42, Iowa State 6 Missouri 7, Kansas State 0 Nebraska 28, South Carolina 6 Oklahoma State 14, Colorado 10 south Florida State 48, Kentucky 6 Florida 30, Mississippi 14 Alabama 21, North Carolina State 0 Auburn 33, Chattanooga 12 Mississippi State 17, Tulane 6 Georgia 19, Clemson 7 Tennessee 16, Boston College 14 Duke 24, Maryland 17 Virginia 20, Virginia Military 19 Virginia Tech 33, George Washington 0 William and Mary 21, Furman 14 Presbyterian 13, Davidson 0 Florida AiM 56, Central State 15 Louisiana State 20, North Carolina 3 McNeese 12, Tampa 0 Citadel 33, Richmond 0 Vanderbilt 9, Wake Forest 6 Southern Mississippi 20, Memphis State 14 witnesses in Florida Field must attest to that. WTiere the Florida offense was crackling most of the afternoon, chewing up the Rebs on the ground and the Air Corps, led by Steve Spurrier and Tom Shannon, were giving lessons in strategic bombing, the defense was enormous and slashing, crippling the vaunted option runs of big Jim Weatherly, the Rebel quarterback. And a kid named Don Knapp, from Pensacola, had a hand in it with an electrifying play that was topped only by Trammell's dashing punt runback that put the Gators ahead, 17-7.

Another Pensacolian, Bill Richbourg, played the best game of his career in the estimation of Coach Ray Graves with a solid and superior performance at middle guard. Weatherly, and the other Rebel backs, will have to remember that face because they saw it head-on for most of the afternoon. Though Florida get on the scoreboard in the first period, the Gators maintained control of the game, allowing the Rebels only seven plays from scrimmage and two punts. The Gators, meanwhile, ran up nine first downs. Larry BecKman.

Charles Casey, the Gators' lonesome end who scored two touchdowns Saturday, credited his clumsiness for Florida's final touchdown, a 42-yard pass from Steve Spurrier." "I thcught Spurrier had thrown the ball too far," Casey said. "I felt I was not going to catch up With it. All of a sudden I stumbled and the momentum carried me to the ball." "Rav Berry of the Baltimore it badly. Give coach (Ed) Kin-sler all the credit for our offensive blocking today.
