THE LETTER WRITERS TAKE OVER THIS MORNING, with football, of course, monopolizing the conversation. From Tallahassee, comes a sensible note about the future course of the Seminoles' football team: "DEAR MR. NORTON: "As a Florida State University grad, I feel that the Seminoles and Gators should make, a place for each other on their future grid schedules. "But that is not -my reason for writing you.

It is my sincere feeling that, as a preliminary to advancing from infinitesimal to big-time football, the Seminoles must first become known. "How many people outside the state of Florida or certainly, outside the South have ever heard of FSU's football team? The answer is obvious: very few. "To become nationally known, FSU should make an attempt to schedule teams whose names are familiar to the pigskin public. I don't mean Minnesota, Stanford or Army, but schools that FSU could make a reputable showing with. "Such schools would be Harvard, Yale, Rutgers, College of Pacific and The Citadel.

There are many others, but these few should amply illustrate the point I am trying to make. "Games with such teams would put FSU on the nation's football map. The Seminoles, many of us grads feel, could defeat some of the teams. "Certainly, the idea is worth a try. After three or four years on the grid slates of these well-known amateur teams, FSU would then be ready to step into bigger competition, perhaps the Southeastern Conference.

"What do you think of this idea? "Yours, for. the best in sports, (Note) We'd hardly call College of Pacific and The Citadel "purity" league teams as both give athletic scholarships, but we'd like to offer Phillips Field to the Seminoles for a battle with "Dear Old FROM ATLANTA COMES A NOTE: "DEAR PETE: Star as Mountaineers! Rack Up Tallies in Each Period By BOBBY HICKS Tribune Sport Writer The smooth rolling Mauntaineers of Appalachian State who traveled over ground and through the air with ease ended the Tampa Spartans home winning streak last night at Phillips Field by a 36 to 19 margin. A crowd of approximately 8000 fans saw the visitors tally in each period and end the night's scoring by chalking up' a safety on the closing seconds of the offensive battle. The loss was the second of the season for the Spartans and their first at home. Tampa had won over Wof-ford and Stetson in successive games at Phillips Field this season.

Their only loss was to Jacksonville Teachers in their second game of the year, 20 to 7. Coach Ed Duggins' slick-operating club tacked up Tampa as its victim of the season. They have a record of six wins and one tie in seven starts. Jack Groce, a sweet running back who was hard to stop, led the running attack of the visitors which picked up 267 yards. He failed to score but his ability to eat up yardage kept them in potential scoring position each time they got the ball.

Ray Triplett and Jim Moore were also thorns in the sides of the Spartans. Both runners were smooth, SULLIVAN MAKES GAIN Gainesville, Oct. 28. -Haywood Sullivan (11), Florida back, gams 19 yards around end alter going back to pass and could not find a receiver, in the game with Furman here today.

Use 49 Players Altogether the Gators used 49 men during the game, many of them squad players who had never appeared in a varsity game before.

The game was one of the cleanest seen in a college game here in quite some time. The Spartans failed to draw a penalty and the Mountaineers were assessed 20 yards, all for taking too much time before getting their tricky offense under way. Jack Neil, Bill Cleary, Jim Everidge and Bob Lassiter were the big men in Appalachian's stiff forward wall.

Bob Baker and Jack Pennell stood out on the offense. Jack Barker, Ernest Rubio, Mike Rovnak and Jack Marley did the best playing in the line for the Spartans. Appalachian lost little time in racking up a score after Groce made a brilliant runback of the opening kick-off from his eight to the Tampa 24 where Aplin stopped him with a diving tackle. The sparkling run was good for 68 yards. Boger picked up 13 and Groce in two plays went to the one.

FSU couldn't do anything with the Tiger line, and after a punt exchange Sewanee got another chance when Jones intercepted Italiano's pass on his own 46 and raced to the Indian 30. The Seminoles held, however, and the two teams exchanged kicks again with Italiano's 43-yarder to the seven putting Sewanee in a hole.

Wakefield passed to Hall' from punt formation for a first down to the 20, but Arnold intercepted McKelthan's pass ball and feinted a toss in disgust. touchdown. That one came with only 56 seconds to go in the half. But the Hawks, aided by a pass interference penalty, which put the ball on the Ohio 16 as the gun sounded, were the tally. Cross booted the placement to put the Mountaineers ahead, 7 to 0, in the first three minutes of play.

A short 10-yard punt by Cross that went out of bounds, gave the Spartans the ball on their 47 and two plays later they had tallied with a pass from Jackson to Aplin picking up the final 52 yards. Aplin took the beautiful spiral toss over his shoulder on the Appalachian 30 and outran two Mountaineer tacklers for the touchdown. Perrette split the uprights for the point to knot the count at 7-all. Second Score The Mountaineers drove 63 yards for another score after taking the kickoff. Moore, Groce and Boger sparked the drive that picked up the yardage on three first downs with Hooks going over from the seven for the tally.

Jim Lear failed to make the point. A 15-yard TCU penalty for rough Army Defeats Columbia By 34 To 0 ness set up Mississippi's second TD in the second period.
