-Florida gave the old pass-master, rotund Wally Butts, and his red-shirted Georgia eleven a lesson on the true art of making the best of the air attack here in the Gator Bowl this afternoon as the Gators ripped the Bulldogs, 22 to 0, in the 35th renewal of their ancient Southeastern Conference grid- Score Twice In Last Half Cason Kicks Both Extra Points To Give Tampa Hard-Earned Win iron rivalry.

The University of Tampa Spartans recouped from a disastrous first half and punched over two touchdowns in the third and fourth periods here this freezing night to down a fired-up band of Jacksonville State Gamecocks before 2000 fans. The Gamecocks carried a 13-0 lead off the field at balftime, but Tampa came back anew in the third period to change things.

The touchdowns were Statistics for touchdowns and adding the coup de grace with an unneed-ed safety and two extra points. Three different quarterbacks and three different receivers figured in on the aerial barrage as Florida got to show off more of its talent than it has at any other time this season. And, in addition to confusing "Jawga," the overhead outburst completely befuddled Vanderbilt scouts who looked on In awe and shook tired heads at trying to ligure best ways and means of stopping the Gators next week. Passing: Surprise Florida figured to best the Bulldogs in every department but passing and take the decision with comparative ease. But the air lanes route came as a bit of a surprise and the Bulldogs just couldn't stop it.

After all, the Gators boast some of Dixie's finest runners in Jimmy Routree, Ed Sears and Bcrnie Parrish and they more than did their part, but when the blue chips were down, the spindle-legged whip-armed quarterbacks produced. Little Jimmy Dunn, the 140-pound Tampan, set the Gator touchdown machine in motion in the first period when he fired an 11-yard scoring pass to End Don Fleming and then his understudies, Mickey Ellen-burg and Jimmy Rhyne, took it from there. Ellenburg passed 19 yards to Parrish for a second-period touchdown and then Rhyne, a plucky third teamer from For- Tampa Jaeksvlle. First Down 15 Yards Rushing 245 2J Tards Passing 29 Passes Tried.

Scores Safety Between the first two scoring sorties, Florida sandwiched in a two-point safety and picked up two more points on successful conversions by Parrish to complete the rout. The victory was the 10th in the 41-year, 35-game series against Georgia and marked the first time in the long series that the Gators have won three in a row. While the backfield stars gained the glory and praise of the spectators, much of Florida's success today must be credited to the stout line which frustrated almost all of Georgia's frontal attacks. Howell Boney, a sawed-off, 5-6, 185-pound guard and Charlie Mitchell, the 225-pound captain and tackle, led the assault against Bulldog ball-carriers as Florida limited Georgia to a mere 68 yards on the ground. They also paved the way as the Gators struck for 221 by land and 63 by air in piling up 18 first downs against only seven for the Athens invaders.

Has Best Day Rountree, a speedy 185-pound senior from Miami who was making his final appearance in the Gator Bowl, had his best day of the season-, rambling for 73 yards in 10 carries and, after the contest, was named the outstanding player of the day.

Cason kicked both of Tampa's extra points to break the tie.

Jacksonville's Harold Smith attempted a field goal from the Tampa 26 with only 20 seconds left, but Ron Tecza, 190-pound freshman center blocked it. Scores Twice Frank Blackburn scored both of the Gamecocks' TD's on sprints of seven and eight yards. Players used smudge pots to keep warm. The temperature was at the freezing level. The Gamecocks became the opportunists and took command midway through the first period.

Spartans Lose Chance The Spartans appeared to have had a touchdown on their first series, but the officials ruled Don Herndon had been stopped at the one-foot line. Tampa had breezed 64 yards on the drive. Herndon's 53-yard sprint on a wide pitchout from Mike Skaroulis was the key play. The hardy Gamecocks held for downs and punted right back and Tampa drove back to the one-foot locale but a 15-yard penalty against the Spartans wrecked the scoring chances here. Jacksonville eventually took over at the 32 and shocked Tampa with a quick 68-yard scoring drive.

The right half, Frank Blackburn, cracked off the final seven yards after appearing to be trapped at the 12. A 22-yard pass from Harold Shankle to End Ray Burgess placed the ball at chilled Tampa's 16. Blackburn scored two plays later and only two minutes 13 seconds were left (Continued on Page 6, Col. 6) Vols Trounce Tech, 21-6, For 6th Win KNOXVILLE, Nov. 9..

Parrish made the first of two successful placements and Florida was ahead, 7-0, before the close of the quarter.

Right then, Woodruff started shuffling reserves into the game and, despite the effort to keep things on an even basis, the Gators growled and kept right on going. Using the punt as a weapon, Dunn hemmed Georgia up on its own two-yard line with a postseason bowl game. i Football Scores South Tampa, 14; Jacksonville, 13. Florida, 22; Georgia, 0.
