Balked and held hitless for four and two-thirds innings by Clay Bryant. th big mountaineer pitching man from Lynchburg, the world's champions, sparked this time by their sensational FLORIDA FIELD, GAINESVILLE, Oct. 8. (Special.) The University of Florida Gators, highly touted before the start of the season, eked out a 10-to-6 decision over the Sewanee Tigers here tonight for their first victory in three starts this season.

The Gator offense, effective in midr field, showed a woeful lack of a touchdown spark as Sewanee five times took the ball on downs inside its 20, twice on the one-yard line. The Gators' lore touchdown came early in the second quarter when Bud Walton fired a 14-yard pass to Quarterback Jack Blalock on the Tiger goal line, and Blalock crossed the line standing up. Waltcn's kick for the extra point was perfect. A charging line gave the Tigers their six points right after the second half got underway. Bobby Johnson, back to punt for the Gators, on his own five, took too much time in getting his kick away and Whitley blocked his boot.

As the ball bounced crazily back into the end zone, Bill Cochrane, Tiger captain and quarterback, pounced on it for the touchdown. Eller Kicks Field Goal Midway in the third quarter the Gators marched straight down the field from their own 34 on the strength of runs by Johnson and Taylor and a 20-yard pass, Johnson to Piombo. With first down on the 16, the Gators picked up only five yards in two freshman hero, Joe Gordon, wiped out a 1-0 deficit with seven timely blows. two of them homers, to race off with victory, 5-2. As in the first two Yankee routi at Chicago, the world's conquerors played like champions.

Pearson, after a shaky start, gave them their best pitching of "tne series with nine strikeouts, four short of the record. Th team displayed superb defense in th pinches though it did commit two errors, and the batting found itself just in time to turn the game from a thriller into another rather pa thetic Cub rout witnessed by a disappointing crowd of 55,236. Yankees Break' Loose From the very start of the con- test drew a cash gate of $209,. tries, and on third down, Paul Eller, 258, far short of the record that was expected, one could feel the ten sion. As Bryant fooled the heavy-swinging enemy inning after inning and even was presented with a one-run lead through a flare-up that almost incapacitated Umpire Charley Moran in the fifth inning, the suspicion always was there that the Yanks would bust loose.

And they did break loose in the fifth and sixth innings. Bryant, steaming along with a no-hitter, had two men out and two strikes on Gordon when a slow ball he had been trying to get over all aternoon finally got him in trouble and turned on the gas. Gordon, timing himself perfectly, caught the slow pitch and leisurely, though firmly, banged it into the lower leftfield box seats to tie the score. No sooner did the tumult and shouting die and you should have seen those Yankees pound bats in their dugout as Gordon sprinted around the bases than another run had come home to put the champs ahead to stay. Pearson singled, Crosetti walked and Red Rolfe lined a single to center to score the pitcher.

Gordon Stars Again The Yanks weren't long in settling the game and again it was Gordon, atoning for an error that had set up sophomore quarterback, dropped back and split the uprights with a field goal to complete the scoring for the night. The Florida boys, seeking a comeback after two consecutive losses, amassed a total net yardage of 440 to Sewanee's 171, but couldn't get underway when the payoff stripe was in sight. Time after time the Gators tossed away chances to score, with the Sewanee forwards throwing them back In the shadow of the Tiger goal posts. On another occasion, John Piombo, sophomore who otherwise turned in a neat garde at end, let a long pass from Bobby Johnson slip out of his hands while crossing the Sewanee touchdown marker. The Tigers, scrapping all the way for their first conference victory in 27 starts, were unable to get within the Gators' 49-yard line from scrimmage, but made good on their big break in the third quarter.

5000 Fans Attend Game The game, played under the floodlights beneath a full moon, drew some 5000 spectators. A snake dance, put on by Florida freshmen clad only in pajamas and blankets, livened up the halftime activities along with the usual show put on by the 72-piece Gator band. Just before game time a special train from Jacksonville pulled into a siding a few hundred yards from the stadium and swelled the crowd with its load of 510 passengers. Here are some of the players and the coaching staff of the University of Cincinnati Bearcats, opponents of the Tampa U. Spartans here Friday night.

After that the Boilermakers with Stocky little Bobby Johnson, a squirming, fighting sophomore back from St. Augustine starting his first game for the Gators, was the leading ground gainer for the evening with a total of 73 yards. Inserted into the starting lineup by Coach Josh Cody at the last minute, Johnson sparked the Gators' running attack as they opened up with a bang only to bog down when they reached pay dirt territory.

Cochrane is Star The Gators, with Walton, Reen and Johnson doing the passing, completed nine out of 16 attempted heaves, but with the exception of Walton's touchdown aerial to Blalock, their overhead game went for nought- Hagler and Macon were the leading ground gainers for Sewanee, each netting 10 yards from scrimmage, but it was Capt. Bill Cochrane, injured Tiger quarterback, who did everything in the backfield. Cochrane did the signal calling, punting and passing, and turned in a swell defensive game, as well as accounting for the Tiger's lone score when he fell on Johnson's blocked punt.
