(INS) University of Florida avenged a rear-old defeat here Saturday afternoon with its most dazzling football of the season, whipping the Uclans of the University of California at Los Angeles, 12 to 2, The Pacific roast continzent ran into a snarling Gator that ran, kicked and passed with unrelenting fury, and the final score was a great upset of the dope bucket. An all-day rain held the crowd to 10,000.

But there were more thrills per minute. than in many a year here. Florida, at low ebb after six successive losses and the most disastrous season in a decade, entered the fray desperately hungry for victory and they were not to be denied. 1 They played perfectly and made the most of eTery possible opportunity. Florida scored first when "Welcome Shearer, who played all after- coon like an all-American end, blocked Decker's punt early in the second, period and "Beefy" Stark fell on the ball on the tXree-yard line.

"Sonny Boy" Jack Henderson, 145-pound halfback, on third down, eased through U. L. right guard for the score. A safety was counted for Bill Spaulding's, eleven when Henderson went down behind his own goal after trying to run out a blocked punt, the work of Lee Coates, all-Pacific coast center." In the first quarter, Ernie Schirm-er, acting captain for Florida, took a pass and scampered 40 yards for a And, as is to be expected, the catch gives her top honors in the week's tournament, participated in by some of the most noted anglers in the country. ltonald Ktillmaii, with a 2S-ouuder, look first honors in the barracuda class, while Erl Roman pulled in a 22 pound dolphin to preside as the heaviest hauler of that The.

Fishing with me in the boat of Capt. ljirry Munroe, Mrs. Grinell' found the ocean rough today just right for sailfish to display their aerial stunts. 1 So it was within just a few minutes after Kuoving off from Key Largo Anglers dub that she hooked her first sailfish.

it turned out to Je only a seven-pounder. A while later she got her strike from the prixe sailfish, which took a rim, then proceeded to make a series of deteruiiued leaps.

After another long watt it came to the surface again, cut some more Ciipcrx, grew tired and finally Ms hauled in.

i Never have I seen such wonderful exhibition of stamina and fortitude on the part of a woman. And now that tbe tournament is all over, well be coming back to Miami touchdown, only to have the play called back by an offside penalty. But Schirmer's big moment was repeated and the second time his touchdown counted. In the final period he took a short pass from Herb JlcAnly and again ran 40 yards to cross the goal line.

Marvin A. Stevens, head coach of the Tale football team for the last five years, and assistant coach under Tad Jones from 1924 until 1928, Saturday submitted his resignation as varsity coacfc to Lam-colm Farmer, chairman of the board of control and director of athletics. In accepting the resignation Farmer said "Dr. Stevens has been facing the decision for two years as between continuing coaching or going ahead with his medical career. He has done a great deal for Yale athletics during his regime and we regret that he has found it necessary to discontinue his work S3 varsity coach." No announcement of the personnel of the 1933 football coaching staff will be made.

Farmer said, until final approval by the beard of control. The change in the football regime is one of the problems that has faced Tale, athletic authorities since the athletic association was reorganized. The revised athletic constitution went into effect this summer. Under the change, control of athletics was placed in the university and not under a separate indirect athletic association. The new policy followed a committee report to President James Rowland Angell last spring urging sweeping athletic changes.

Some time ago Dr. Stevens told the athletic association of his desire to give all his time to medical and surgical practice. The new football staff is expected to be announced soon, the only delay being the approval of the selection by the board of, athletic opntrol. the trading season is only in its in-1 with first one thing then another to do with fetching back i between the Miami P.iltmore Sharks fand the Connecticut Yankees, a fancy diving exhibition bv Marshall Wayne. i fancy.
