HTHERE were too many Galors in too many places too 1 much of the time! Well, you never know about football, do you! Your correspondent figured all. week that Miami would have a bitter struggle if it got through the Gator line to score. Then he figured the Gators just couldn't do a thing to the Hurricane defense.

That's a 50 per cent average; or, you might insist it's zero. For I sure was hoping a miracle would come along and help the Hurricanes score. It didn't and they didn't. But that "weak" Florida attack sure sat up and took part in the fun. In fact, it jumped out of bed and ran away with the party.

Twas a great game to watch, and so cleanly fought that but one penalty, an offside, was inflicted on the Gators. And but for the fact that Miami lost, 'twas a great evening and the folk were doing right well on into rj the wee sma hours, especially the Gator fans up at the Legion club, who were partying and how! until their train left at 3 a. m. And something happened to the house count. The turnstile figures said some 23,000, after which city officials came along to say 'That's screwy; don't use it.

Its giant line, with a 23-pound per man advantage, shoved the Columbia forward wall up and down the field, and through the gaping holes it opened the fleet Southern backs- Kellogg, Banker, Golden, Butler, Glass, Nyhan, Cassibry and half a dozen others rolled up 272 yards. The Lions were smart, alert and agile as always, but they couldn't make much more than a dent in the Tulane line. With its first team in, Tulane went 40 yards for its opening score.

Midway in the first period, with Gloden and Kellogg alternating with the ball, the Southerners went to a first down on the six-yard line and on the first stab Kellogg whammed over and kicked the point. A fumble by Columbia's hardworking back, Naylor, set up the second Tulane score. Wenzel recovered for Tulane on Columbia's 15 and in three plays Banker was over for a touchdown.

The youngster, never having been here before, was standing open-mouthed. "Did you ever see anything more beautiful than this!" he gasped. "Well." Frank replied, "if there is anything prettier I've not seen it in football." Frank says the Gator athletic board is on the verge of asking to return to Miami next year, rather than continue the home-and-home agreement between the two schools.

They finally admitted that "the boys wanted to play ball," which is quite a start in any game. "I guess we were a bit better than last week against Georgia," Cody said, "perhaps offensively, at least. But now we've got to play Georgia Tech next week-end, and we're told they've the best team they ever had.

It's' one tough week-end after another." The officials showed their authority by halting the game several times to shoo the photographers away from the sidelines. The cameramen were right back after every interruption, however, for they would rather raise the ire of an official than listen to the words of an aroused editor for returning empty handed. The only vacancies in the big stadium were in the north stand just outside the $3.50 section, and in the west bleachers. Fred Snite, jr, had plenty of company at the east end of the stadium. The Miami school children were placed in the temporary bleachers there and whooped it up on either side of Fred's famous iron lung.

The backs got away faster, moved with more precision and time after time went spinning away from Miami tacklers for good gains. In short, Florida was a corking ball club last night, one of which its backers who followed it should be justly proud, and those who didn't should feel vurr silly.
