While a record crowd of 30,000 homecoming fans watched happily, Florida's flaming sophomores passed and ran to a 27 to 7 Southeastern Conference football win over the Auburn Tigers here this afternoon. The game, played in brilliant Florida sunshine, with a brisk northeast wind whipping the goalpost colors, saw the Gators Spartans Score 13-0 Win Over Wofford In First Home Game By BOBBY HICKS Tribune Sports Writer Tampa's big Spartans upheld the prestige of Florida football teams winning over the Wofford Terriers as they opened their home grid schedule last night at Phillips Field with an impressive 13 to 0 triumph over the South Carolina eleven.

In a friendly but hotly waged battle between two old pals and one time colleagues in the coaching profession, Miami had a little the better of it. The Hurricane eleven, sweeping up out of Florida, played devastating ball all the way for Coach Andy Gustaf-son, who had been dreaming of this triumph over Purdue mentor Stuart Holcomb, the guy he worked with to help build Army's great teams of the Glenn Davis-Doc Blanchard era.

14 (Special) Florida State University's Seminoles wore down a surprisingly tough band of Howard College Bulldogs here tonight, and scored a 20-6 Dixie Conference victory over the Alabama eleven before a crowd of 5537 in Doak S. Campbell Stadium. Doped to lose by anywhere from four to six touchdowns. Howard took the play away from FSU in the opening quarter and punched over a touchdown in the opening minutes of the second period to take a brief 6-0 lead. The Seminoles bounced back after that score, however, to put together a pair of 60 and 59 yard scoring drives that gave them a 13-6 lead at half-time.

The clock caught the Bulldogs with a first down on the 11. FSU's final score tame in the third period when Mike Sellers led a 30-yard drive up the middle alley after the Indians had muffed two earlier opportunities in the same period. The win was FSU's seventh In a row over a two-year span and their 19th in 21 games under Head Coach Don Veller. FSU took the opening kickoff from (Continued on Page 4 Column 6) Guilford. 21; Emory Henry, 20.

The home opener drew a crowd of approximately 8500 fans and they were well pleased with what they saw. Tampa's offense blew both hot and cold and the Spartans were able to cash in on two scoring opportunities when they were hot. Defense Strong The surprise of the game was the outstanding performance of Tampa's defensive forward wall led by John Natyshak with the three Jacks, Mar-ley, Baker and McCluney. They stopped the Terriers with only 40 yards from, rushing ana allowed only five first downs. Charles Harris, 175-pound freshman back, scored the Spartans first touchdown in the second period on a 34 yard run after taking a screen pass from James Jackson.

Harris, squirmed and weaved his way past half of the Wofford team and was assisted by two great blocks by H. L. Hiers and Holland Aplin. The second tally came in the third period when Eldrige Beach scored from the three-yard line to cap a 23-yard march set up by Vince Chico's runback of an intercepted paw. Mraovich booted the point after the first touchdown but his second try was wide.

Tampa had ancher big opportunity for a score near the closing minutes of the game when they drove from their own 48 to the Wofford one where the Terrier line held for downs. Three line plays failed and a fourth down pass was incomplete. Wofford's offense never could get started against the Spartans hefty line. They reached Tampa territory only twice, once on a short punt in the second period that the wind caught and the ball was downed on the 27-yard line. The other tim Presbyterian, 30; Erskine, 6.

ELAND, Oct. 14 UP) Gaining momentum after a slow start, th Stetson University Hatters slammed out a 42-0 decision over Milligan -of Johnson City, here tonight. 1 It was the Hatters' fourth consecutive victory. Outplayed in every Lh Buffaloes nevertheless made a game of It until the third quarter when a pair of pass interceptions were converted into Stetson touchdowns. Stetson moved ahead then, 21-0, and the outcome never was in question.

The Hatters ran and passed 62 yards for their first score, with halfback Gene Bowden scoring. End Don Martin kicked the first of six perfect placements to send Stetson Into the lead. Quarterback Bill Johnson passed 28 yards to Frank Singletary for Stetson's next in the third period and Halfback Charlie Broadway stole Fullback Gene Goff's aerial and lugged it 70 yards for another marker a few minutes later. Singletary grabbed another Goff aerial early in the fourth and ran 37 yards for a touchdown. Both of the last two markers were on Stetson passes, a six-yard heave from Quarterback Ron Delllla to End Jim Younc and a 27-yard pitch from Delllla to End Walt Jasinskl.

Unable to gain through the line, Milligan relied mostly on aerials but (Continued on Page 4 Column 3) Bethune-Cookman, 13; Benedict, 13. Mississippi Southern, Southwestern Louisiana Institute, 0. NOW THAT EVERYONE IN THE STATE, Including the coaches, athletic directors, Governor Warren, student editors, sports editors and fans have had their say about the start of a football rivalry between the University of Florida and Florida State University, let's take a calmer look at the matter. While we were one of the sports editors voting for a post-! season game between the Gators and Seminoles, we can readily see that Coach Bob Woodruff at Florida has some very sound reasons for not thinking in terms of post-season games. To name five of these reasons, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Ken-' tucky, Miami and Alabama.

While the Gators are meeting this fivesome, the Seminoles will be tackling Newberry; Sewanee, Stetson, Mississippi College and Tampa. It is reasonable to believe that the Gators will be more battered, and certainly more weary of football after meeting some of the nation's top teams, than their brothers from Tallahassee. Therefore, we offer this as an alternate suggestion: At the end of the season have Floryla and FSU sports of-1 icials, representatives of the student bodies of the two schools, and representatives of the alumni associations, get together in anpen discussion of the subject. From such a meeting a decision should come as to the wisdom of starting a football rivalry between the two schools. If the decision favors an annual football game between the Gators and Seminoles, the State Board of Control should then be requested to sanction the contest, and we believe they'll do so, because fellows like Frank Harris and Eli members, are just as rabid football fans as you, or anybody else.

THERE ARE. SEVERAL GAMES ON THE GATORS' schedule that could be dropped and a contest with FSU substituted. There is little natural rivalry between Florida and teams like Citadel, Dequesne and Furman, although both the Cadets and Dukes gave the Gators tough competition. We'd suggest dropping Duquesne and putting FSU into the Dukes spot on the Gators schedule, If both schools are agreeable to starting a rivalry that quickly. If 1952 would be a more propitious and convenient time for beginning the series (because college schedules are generally made up two years in advance) the Florida State game could be moved deeper into that of the Gators.

AS TO THE SITE OF THE GAME. We suggest "that Florida get the opener because the Gators have been in the football business longer, and deserve this consideration. Then alternate the game between the two schools. The seating capacity at Gainesville will be around 40,000 when the stadium is completed. At Tallahassee, the new Doak Campbell stadium will seat only 15,000, but it wouldn't be any great trick to add some 5000 seats for a big game.

YOUR OPINION IS AS GOOD AS ANYONE'S as to the relative ability of the Gators and Seminoles. Last year the Florida team thatf defeated Georgia would have beaten the Seminoles by three or four touchdowns. But the Florida team that lost to Kentucky in Tampa, would have lost to the Florida State Cigar Bowl team by about the same margin. In their first three games this year Florida has played Citadel, Duquesne and Georgia Tech, winning the first two and losing a tough one to Tech. The Seminoles crushed Troy State and Randolph Macon in (Continued on Page 5 Column 2) Army Rallies In Second Half start unsteadily in the first quarter, when neither team scored, take a slender 7-0 lead at halftime.

then finish with a fine three-touchdown splurge in the final half. Sophomore Jack Nichols turned in the game's most exciting play when he sprinted 90 yards with a kickoff in the third quarter on the first play after Auburn's only touchdown of the game. Ken Sumner, Tampa sophomore, made the key block on this gallop. Sophomore Billy Reddell, a fleet-footed Texan with a keen goalline urge, turned in a series of brilliant runs, climaxed by a 44-yard touchdown gallop in the final quarter, when he reversed his field and left a half dozen Auburn tacklers sprawled in his wake. Huggins Leads Scorers Sophomore Floyd Huggins, a bull-shouldered youngster from Kansas, was the top scorer of the afternoon, with both of the first two Gator scores to his credit, one a smash for three, and the other a determined 12-yard drive.

And, of course, sophomore Haywood Sullivan, the guiding geniu of the Gators' attack when operating from the formation, was in the middle of the action all day, with five completed passes In 11 tries, and some fancy ball handling that made life a lot easier for his mates, and exceedingly tough on the Auburn defense. Sophomores Charle Pradd, from St. Augustine; Joe Wright, a classmate of Nichols' at Niceville High; Jack Pappas, once the pride of Tarpon Springs; and Bob Horton, Jacksonville, were standouts in a Gator defense that weakened only once during the afternoon. The sole defensive lapse that proved costly to Florida was an Auburn drive for a score in the third period, when Captain Jim McGowen, the Tigers star, scored for his team on a lunge from the two-yard line. On the other occasion when Auburn threatened the young Florida line beat off the Tigers in the final seconds of play, and took the ball on a fumble.

But all the glory of the homecoming game didn't go to the sophomores.

Camp Polk 19; Barksdale Air Rated Little Chance Miami, although undefeated, had been given little chance against the Boilermakers, who had catapulted to national prominence last week by ending the 39-game undefeated string of Notre Dame. But Miami apparently hadn't read the press clippings, and the Purdue eleven had.

Miami, outplayed completely In the first half by a hard-charging Purdue line led by Darrell Brewster and Leo Sugar, caught fire when a Purdue pass was blocked and taken over for a touchdown to tie the score at 7-7 in the third period. Both teams' first scores were the result of hard-charging linesman rushing in to break up pass plays or punts. Purdue's line had the upper hand at the beginning, and the payoff came when Sugar broke through to block Elmer Tremont's punt, picked up the ball and trotted the rest of the way for the score. It seemed all Purdue from there on, but two Hurricane linesmen collaborated to turn the tables. With Purdue knocking on the touchdown door again End Leo Martin blocked Dale Samuels' pass at the point of origin.

Oklahoma Beats Texas In Last Minute Of Play, 14-13 To Roll Over Michigan, 27-6 By HAROLD V.

Once the powerful Sooners piled up the Longhorn drive on the one-foot line. Another time, Texas lost the ball on the five with a fumble.

It was a rough, smashing gams fought between the two giant, bone-crushing lines. At game's end, mad Oklahomann swarmed onto the field and uprooted the goal posts.

Texas was rated fourth. It was the forty-fifth game in this gridiron series and Oklahoma's third straight victory. Texas' supporters might continue their cry of "snake-bit."

Jl team back on its haunches for a half. But in the end he wasn't enough to turn the tide, and the Army eleven strengthened its claim to premier ranking among the country's college teams. Although Pollard, the heralded yearling from the West Coast scored only one of Army's four touchetowns, it was the thunderous power with which he battered down the Michigan wings in the third period which turned the course of the conflict and sent the Cadets bowling towards another victory in their string of 23 games "without defeat. Up to the time Pollard began throwing his 190 pounds off the tackles (Continued on Page 4 Column 4) By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK, Oct. 14.

(P) Fought to a 6-6 standstill for 30 rugged minutes, Army's awesome football forces turned on the power in the second half to crush Michigan under an avalanche of touchdowns and run up a 27 to 6 score on the Big Ten co-Thampions before 67,076 in Yankee Stadium today. An upset of majestic proportions appeared in the making when the Wolverines, fighting like their name-aake to avene three previous defeats by the Cadets, scored first in the opening quarter and barely missed a. field goal which would have put them In front again early in the third period. But then the big Army Machine began to roll, spearheaded by a bruising 190-pound fullback named Al Pollard from Los Angeles. And before the shouting crowd well knew what was happening, the West Pointers had smashed across three touchdowns ball's greatest winning streak today with a breathless, last-minute 14-13 victory over Texas.

A low pass from center which Bill Porter, back to kick in the lengthening shadows of the Cotton Bowl, could only fall on and give the ball to Oklahoma on the Texas 11-yard line, was the deciding point in the Sooners' magnificent victory. It was their 24th straight over a period of a little more than two years. Billy Vessels, keyman in the lacerating ground game of the Oklahomans, dashed around right end for a touchdown and Jim Weatherall, the Texan who plays tackle for the Sooners, kicked the extra point that threw a crowd of 75,968 into pandemonium. Minutes before, slender Bobby Dillon, Texas' ace safety man, had skittered 50 yards with art intercepted pass to give Texas a 13-7 lead. Texas had 'em but they got away.
