SPORTS 5-C Tampa's xSaver' Takes Spotlight From Glory Boys Sr. Petersburg Tlmci, Monday, October 28, 1963 five yards off the ball in our. Or how about Leon McQuay? The freshman sensation rolled up 101 yards rushing, not Including a sensational 61-yard kickoff return. With four games left to play, McQuay has already broken the school's all-time single season rushing record. Or maybe you'd vote for end Joe Slikrr, who caught six Del Galzo passeH, or flanker John Benedetto or tight end John Del Galzo, Jim's twin eaeb of whom were on the receiving end of five De Galzo passes.

AH good choices but you would be wrong every time. The super-star of Tampa's first victory In history over an SEC team was Ron Brown, a dirty, grimy, tired defensive lineman. Eleven times during the game Brown rose up from his middle guard position to throw back a Bulldog runner. Two of those Individual tackles and' there Is no doubt about this saved the game for Tampa. With 1:30 remaining In the By FRED CIRARD Of The Times Staff TAMPA Let me ask you a question.

Who would you say, was the Individual hero Saturday night when the Unl- versify of Tampa blazed by the Southeastern Conference's Mississippi State 24-17 at Tampa Stadium? Jim Del Galzo? Quite possl-bly. The 6-2, 190-pound quarterback tossed a record-busting 39 passes for 18 completions, three touchdowns and 251 yards- lost two yards, and State was faced with a fourth and five. I'harr came out frmn under center and rolled to his right. The Spartan defense, exporting the pass, was spread all over the field But I'harr kept, darning past the line of scrimmage into what appeared to bo open territory. But mnlden-ly, from out of nowhere.

Brown appeared at the 48 and put Thorr down with a crashing tackle to stop the threat. After throe unsuccessful plays Tampa 'was forced to punt, and Tharr took over again on his own 20, with only 30 seconds and no time outs remaining. In three plays he ate up 26 yards and 27 seconds, pushing his team to Its 46-yard line with three seconds remaining. As the horn blared to end the game, he lofted a pass to David Smith, his fast, shifty flanker, on the Tampa 45. Smith started left, then reversed his field and raced through the spread-out Tampa defense.

Suddenly, there was no one In front of him. "I had been playing about Move Over, Jim, Leon game, the Bulldogs had the ball on their own 40-yard line. The score was 24-17 against them. Tommy Pharr, the nation's No. 11 passer, hit Sammy Milner, the nation's No.

2 catcher, for a seven-yard gain. Two running plays BON BROWN clutch performer. prevent defense," Brown "I saw him catch that ball; and I headed for where hoped he would be if he got through. Then there nobody In front of him, and li thought, Oh my God, I've got; to stop him." And he did. With one des-' perate ImiRe Brown tore the! shirt off Smith's bark and' slammed him to the ground at the Tampa 11-yard And the game was over.

"There's no doubt about Curci said. "That boy's an! All-America. You try to teach kids how to play like that, but he's Just got it in his heart. 1 He never quits." The Spartans, who went into Saturday night's game with a No. 5 national ranking in the small-college poll, Jacked; their record to 5-1, and! strengthened the possibility that Coach Jake Gaither will Invite them to meet his Flori-! da team in the Orange Blossom Classic game in Miami.

"We won five championships in Helsinki in 1952, but never as many as seven medals." The Russians, who sent five men into the finals, emerged with three gold medals, one by Boris Lantin, who repeated as light middleweight champion. Foreman, a native of Houston who is employed at a Job Corps training center in California, has a lot of Clay in him. He babbles steadily and recites his own poetry.

But he's different from Cassius in one respect. He had a small American flag in his corner, and when the bout ended, he kissed it and waved it to the crowd. Halsey Second In Flying Junior BRADENTON The Flying Junior Regional championship rested in the hands of Lee Davis yesterday after the Fort Lau-! derdale sailor posted consistent, 2-2-2 finishes in two days of racing in the Bradenton Yacht Club' sponsored event. Doug Halsey of St. Petersburg-was second although he finished! first in all three races.

(AP) Richard Petty whose mastery of the big speedways was supreme last year, won his first major stock car race of the season yesterday by capturing the American 500 at the North Carolina Motor Speedway.

Piero Plni, secretary general of the EBU and member of the World Boxing Council issued the formal declaration and opened bids to promoters for a new title fight. The action was taken after Joe Kiernan, manager of the Las Vegas boxer filed a protest with the EBU against the outcome of the Mazzinghi-Little title fight. The referee had ruled it no contest after the eighth round, leaving the crown with the badly battered Italian. In a signed agreement with Jim Deskin of the World Boxing Association's world championship committee, Pinl ordered Mazzinghi to fight Little for the newly vacated title by Feb. 28.

If Mazzinghi docs not, Little is to meet the next highest rated fighter for the crown. Land Of Tomorrow Now to the Games, when rebellious students clashed with government forces in riots which caused scores of deaths, hundreds of Injuries and thousands of arrests. There had been fear that similar riots might disrupt the competition among more than 7,500 athletes, but the threat never materialized. HOWEVER, there was one discordant note when two. Negro members of the United States track team, sprinters 'John Carlos and Tommie Smith, appeared on the victory stand and raised their black-gloved hands In a Black Power salute.

Under pressure from the IOC, the U.S. Olympic Committee expelled the two athletes from Olympic Village and apologized to the world. For a brief while it appeared that this stern discipline might rip the American team apart. However, other black athletes continued to compete without incident and it was one of the greatest Olympics ever for the United States. America's swift track men, youthful swimmers and divers, and ragtag basketball team were stars, in the collection of 107 medals, 45 of them gold awarded for first place the most ever won by a nation in Olympic competition.

The powerful Soviet Union, with its huge team of 401 athletes under the red hammer and sickle banner, was no match for the Americans. The Russians suffered one of their most disappointing performances since entering Olympic competition in 1952. THEY WO.V a total of 91 medals, largely in gymnastics, boxing and canoeing, but their woman failed to win a single gold medal in track and field and their trackmen fell below the medal collection of little Kenya. The three Kenyans were the sensation of the Games, winning three gold medals, three silver and one bronze In a mighty performance in track and field. They, were strong in distances where many experts said the altitude would take a tremendous drain.
