SUN Sunday, November 23, 1958 Jyst As Gd ikafc Podini't IProve B4, UDmnieir r'iS 1 Bowl Lineup LSI Farms Up For Sugar Bowl, Rips Tulane 62-0 NEW ORLEANS, UPI) Mighty Louisiana Stale, the nation's No. 1 team, stalled for nearly two periods by a stubborn Tulane defense, exploded in a nine-touchdown avalanche to finish its first perfect season in 50 years with a 62 to 0 win. A crowd of 85,000, largest ever to see a regular season football game in the South, sat shirt sleeve-to-shirt sleeve in brilliant sunny weather to watch the awesome Tigers wind up with a 9-0 season the only major undefeated, untied team in the nation and with a berth in the 1959 Sugar Bowl. Immediately after the stunning win Sugar Bowl officials announced as expected that they were "proud to say" the Tigers would be host team for the New lears Day classic.

About half of the crowd waited for two periods for an upset by outgunned Tulane. Under steady pressure of a whippet FSU's Nugent Praises Gators After Defeat By LOXNIE BURT (Times Sports Writer) GAINESVILLE "I think we have just as good a ball club as they do, but we just didn't prove It today." These words came from Florida State guard Al Ul mer as he walked slowly out ol the shower in the Seminole dressing room. Al is a 173-pound junior from Clearwater who personally kept Florida State from being routed at Florida Field yesterday. He was in on at least three of every four tackles which held the Gators to a 21-7 victory. Ulmer, along with his teammates, thinks Florida has a good, solid football team.

But, each Seminole was quick to mention that it took a pair of their own mistakes to give Florida its first and third touchdowns. "Florida hits as hard as anyone we have played this season," said Ulmer. "But they don't hit harder than Georgia. Nobody does," concluded this remarkable youngster who got his FSU scholarship at the annual Times Western Conference banquet four years ago. BEST EFFORT Ulmer's coach, Tom Nugent, was loud in his praise for the head-knocking Gators.

"We put up our best effort and ft wasn't enough. They beat us," continued the Seminole chief. "That Jimmy Dunn Is a great one, in fact I think Florida has as fine talent as you can get together," said Nugent. Unlike the beaten boxer, Nugent wouldn't say that he would like to play Florida in a rematch again this season. "Lets just say that it is an honor to play any fast Bengal line, led by cen Statistics ter Max Fugler, the upset never materialized.
