Georgia's bowl-bound Bulldogs, the nation's No. 3 college football team, came from behind to defeat the spirited Florida Gators, 33 to 14, here today before 23,000 fans, a record crowd at the municipal stadium. The Gators held a 7-6 margin at halftime, and had threatened on four other occasions during the first two periods to send the perspiring and warmly-partisan crowd into mild hysteria. But the Gators, winless In six games this year, couldn't withstand the power and finesse of a Georgia team that hasn't tasted defeat all year, and although they scrapped down to the wire, were no match for the Bulldogs in the final two quarters.

PETERSEN NEW YORK, Nov. 9. (U.R Notre Dame and Army battled to a scoreless tie today in one of the most savagely fought football games of all time. Failing to take advantage of the breaks, the mighty Army team threatened often but didn't have enough to score on a fighting Notre Dame eleven out to revenge the humiliating 59-0 and 48-0 defeats inflicted by the future generals in 1945 and 1944. Victory was denied the Irish, although they once were only three and a hall yards from a touchdown, but there was plenty of glory in holding a team which hadn't known defeat since a bleak December day in 1943 when Navy outgunned West Point, 13 to 0.

The tie snapped Army's brilliant victory string at 25 one of the greatest in intercollegiate history but it left the Cadets with a fighting chance to win the mythical national championship for the third year in a row. Heart Breaker It was a heart-breaking outcome for both teams which fought their hearts don completely outclassed the Tigers in every department kicking, running, blocking and thinking. It was difficult' to conceive of the Jackson team, one of the finest prep outfits in the South the nights they played Hillsborough and Plant, going to pieces before a team that had lost three out of five conference games up to Friday night. Coach Barney Searcy of Landon didn't try to explain it to me after the game, other than to say: "This game proves what I have said all along about high school teams. Yon just can't beat a team as determined to win as Landon was tonight.

The kids refused to be awed by Jackson's unbeaten record, including a list of wins as impressive as any ever scored by a Jacksonville MY BELIEF IS THAT BOTH ROBERT E.

MYSTERY OF DICK WIGGINS RESIGNATION from the University of JACKETS BEAT NAVY IN WILD BATTLE, 28-20 Mathews Runs 95 Yards to Win Game By WILLIAM TUCKER Florida remains exactly that. Best explanation is that 'Wiggins, a star baseball player, had received several shoulder injuries since the start of the football season, and was afraid of suffering permanent disability in his shoulder which would end his diamond career, But because Wiggins has never made a statement of any kind, doesn't ciear tne mystery oi ms suaaen aepariure irom oainesvme. giants, was never able to solve or penetrate a peculiar defensive shift rigged up by Arkansas Coach John Barnhill. Every time the Owls came up to the line to run a play, the Porkers shifted to the left, to the right, backwards or in some other dizzy fashion and the Owl blocking assignments were bawled up completely.

Rice mustered a scoring threat on it only real offensive flurry of the game. That was on the first time the Owls got the balL Arkansas received and was set back to its eight-yard line by a clipping penalty. Aubrey Fowler, whose kicking pulled the Razorbacks out of several holes, punted to the Arkansas 45 and Huey Keeney returned it to the 41. Sticking to the ground, the Owls marched to the Porker 14 but there the Red Shirts stiffened and took over. Again Arkansas trailed in first downs but outgalned the Owls 122 yards to 113 rushing and 24 to 10 passing.

TIGERS STOP GILMER TO TOP ALABAMA, 31-21 Tittle Passes Click for Touchdowns By EDDIE PAGNAC BATON ROUGE, Nov.

9(JP) Louisiana State University used all its power to outplay Alabama in the early stages today and then withstood a final period rally led by the great Harry Gilmer to defeat the Crimson Tide 31 to 21 before an estimated 43,000. The once great and still powerful Alabama squad showed flashes of last year's brilliant playing which carried the Tide to the Rose Bowl, but was stopped cold during most of the game by an alert and hard running Tiger team. Y. A. Tittle, Louisiana State quarterback, was able to hit his receivers repeatedly, and Dan Sandifer, -Tiger right half, brought the crowd to its feet twice on long runs, one on a lateral from substitute right end, Jim Loflin, which was good for 82 yards and again on a 61 yard pass from Tittle.

The "breaks' were about evenly divided, but Louisiana State's alert brand of football kept the Crimson Tide on the defensive during most of the game.

9. (U.R) George Mathews, a flying ghost in a white jersey, grabbed a Navy fumble from the air today and steamed 95 yards for a touchdown that enabled Georgia Tech to pluck a tingling 28 to 20 victory from almost certain defeat. Another Tech touchdown a moment later following a pass interception didn't matter it was Mathews' speed-demon run that brought to life a Tech team that up to that point had been out-fought, out-smarted and pretty well smeared all over Grant Field. He turned the tide with less than three minutes of play remaining. Navy came down here to the scene of its famous 1944 grudge battle with the Tech Engineers full of reckless courage.

The Middies played by far their finest game of the season but lost on the split second it took Mathews to clutch the ball out of Wild Bill Hawkins shaky fingers. Hawkins, with two touchdowns, had been the Navy hero all day but in that instant he sprouted horns that would have done credit to Bill the Tenth. Navy's goat mascot on the side lines.

Winbourne raced 28 yards for Richmond's first touchdown in the opening period, and followed it up with a 22-yard scoring sprint in the second.

A 37-yard pass from Quarterback Pat Fenlon to Johnson and a seven-yard touchdown run by Tom Billingsley accounted for Richmond's two other scores.

He scored two Georgia touchdowns, passed for another, and set up a fourth with a long heave to Reid Moseley, slender Georgia end.

John Donaldson counted two Georgia touchdowns, and Joe Geri the fifth. For the Gators, Broughton Williams, rangy end, who once performed for Plant High School, stamped himself as a candidate for All-Southeastern rating with a sterling performance both offense and defense. The former Plant star, who is leading the country's pass receivers, snared five tosses from Doug Belden, a former Panther mate, for 48 yards. He also played a tremendous game on defense, stopping Georgia's backs repeatedly with bone-rattling tackles and recovering two fumbles, one of which led to a Florida touchdown. Gaspar Vaccaro, who sported the livery of the Hillsborough Terriers a few seasons ago, scored both of Florida's touchdowns, played sterling ball on defense, and otherwise stamped himself as one of the better ball carriers in this conference.

With two min utes left to play, Army quick-kicked to gamble for the deadlock and got it. For Army it was a game of wasted opportunities. The Cadets got six breaks against one for Notre Dame but could not capitalize on any. Three times Army recovered Notre Dame fumbles and drove into Irish territory only to be stopped by a hard- charging line. Three times Arnold Tucker intercepted the bullet passes of Johnny Lujack, but never with a pay-off.

Army did most of the threatening, but the game was evenly fought and the scoreless tie was a just outcome. Notre Dame's drilling for this game since Spring, effectively bottled up Army's touchdown terrors, big Doc Blanchard and shifty Glenn Davis, when the chips were down. The Cadets did likewise for Lujack and his hard-hitting backs. Battle of Lines But this wasn't a game of the backs who usually get all the glory. It was a game of battling lines.

9 0P) An inspired University of Arkansas football team played great defensive football and turned a fourth-period pass interception into a touchdown to spill the favored Rice Owls 7-0 today, and soar into first place in the Southwest Conference championship race. The Razorbacks, picked by many to finish in the cellar, can clinch at least a tie for the title by defeating Southern Methodist at Fayetteville next week. It was big John Hoffman, appearing before a hometown crowd of 17,000, who provided the winning margin. Midway of the final heat he gathered in a Rice pass on the Owl 32 and stormed untouched across the goal line. Team Tlays Well But the entire Arkansas team won the ball game.

In three games played this year, only two touchdowns have been scored against the Spartans and Coach Paul Straub worked on this defensive phase during his drills the last two 'days. This game revives the Tampa-Miami rivalry which in prewar days was one of the top gridiron classics between the two schools. The largest crowd that has seen the Spartans play is expected to attend this con test.

HUSKIES DOWN STANFORD, 21-15 PALO ALTO, Nov. 9. (JP) Washington University's Huskies, flashing a well-sustained attack from land and air, took a 21-15 football victory from the Stanford Indians today.
