The blanking by the 'Canes was the first for a team coached by Don Veller since he journeyed South for the weather and climate in 1947. His teams had counted in their previous 40 games against all types of competition.

They had a score today but it didn't get into the official column on account of a penalty. It was also the first homecoming loss for a Veller- coached eleven. They had won four in a row on this special occasion. Record Crowds The home attendance mark for single season was also broken by today's gathering. With a game still to play against Tampa on Dec.

6. the Seminoles have drawn 37,842 fans to better the old record of 30,085. The two-touchdown favored Hur ricanes had to wait for a break in the third period before they could get a score and then picked up three more points in the final stanza when Gene Pringels booted a field goal to sew up the contest, He had failed on two other attempts. Gene Pedrick, a junior signal caller picked up the only score of the game when he twisted, squirmed and backed across the goal line in the third period to tally from the nine yard line. His team, had gotten possession of the ball when Roy Thompson fumbled and Charlie West recovered for 'Canes.

The Seminoles, anxious to break in to the win column for the first time this year were a threat all the time until they got within scoring territory and then something popped. They either fumbled, ran into each other, threw wild passes all over the places and did every thing but get a touchdown.

Florida is the only team in the Southeastern Conference that has never been to a bowL Seventh Win Tennessee's defensive giants threw a ball and chain defense in front of the Gators and scored on its every opportunity except twice. It was Tennessee's seventh win of the season against an early loss to Duke and the third defeat for Florida, beaten previously by Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt. The victory marked Neyland's first win over his former pupfL Coach Bob Woodruff of Florida.

From the outset it was strictly a ground battle with the Vols driving for two touchdowns in the first half and two more in the second on the power running of Fullback Andy Kozar and the fast-stepping elusiveness of Tailback Pat Shires. Florida, paced brilliantly by Halfback Jay Papa Hall and Fullback Rick Casares, tallied once in the first quarter and added their final in the- last minute of the game. A charging Tennessee line, led by All-America candidate Dough Atkins, rendered the Gators vie tory impossible. Tennessee's Guard Andy Myers recovered Gator Halfback Buford Long's fumble on the Florida 37 to set up the first Vol score, Kozar's smash over from the one. Florida struck back with their first touchdown three minutes later.

Hall, on the most spectacular run of the day, broke over left tackle and into the clear for 66 yards and the tally. Recaptures Lead Tennessee recaptured the lead in the second quarter when Kozar climaxed a brilliant 65-yard ground drive to score from the four. What looked like the makings of a Florida TD bogged down two minutes later on the Vol 22. Unable to move against a solid Vol line, Casares attempted a field goal but missed. It was Kozar and Shires again who dealt the damage to the Gators in the third quarter but the fullback tailback combination was broken up mid-way in that period when Kozar was injured on a line-back and left the game.

an na dVl Boxing Tries Comeback Promoter Al Garcia is going to make another try at putting boxing back on a paying basis in Tampa and his first show at the Municipal Auditorium Nov. 25 will have better talent than most of the shows earlier in the year. Cesar Brion, who headlines a double feature card, travels in the upper crust of the heavyweights and has plenty of class. His opponent will be Big Boy (Billy) Wilson. If Brion wins this fight Garcia may be able to match him with Danny Nardico later in the year.

Brion is a rangy 195-pound battler from Argentina who has fought in Europe as much as in this country. His last fight was against Ez-zard Charles, former heavyweight champion, a couple of weeks ago in which Charles won the decision in 10 rounds. Wilson fought here two years ago, losing a rough fight to Nardico. The two battlers had a rematch several weeks ago in Georgia and Nardico was winner again in another rough scrap. If Garcia can continue to bring in name fighters boxing should enjoy a healthy revival here.

Jacksonville Promoter Loses Bill Kaye, a new promoter at Jacksonville, is finding it costly to put on good shows. Fans are not interested in club fights and an effort will be made to land some of the better known fighters if Kaye remains in business. Miami has been holding cards regularly and the sport has built up big enough following for promoters to get top talent. Lou Viscusi provides fighters for Tampa but has had too many interests elsewhere to devote much time to boxing here. Under present plans, however, an attempt will be made to give Tampa good shows to revive enough interest to keep the sport going on a twice-a-month basis throughout the Winter.

First Touchdown Dick Tamburo recovered when Joe Heap dropped the ball to put MSC in position for the first score. Michigan State took over on the Notre Dame 14 yard line, worked the ball down to the nine, was helped to the one by a penalty and then McAuliffe busted over through left guard. Hank Bullough grabbed the second important fumble, by Francis Paterra, on the Notre Dame 21. After four plunges put Michigan State down to the Irish five, a penalty gave an assist to the one yard line and McAuliffe was able to throw himself over again. McAuliffe, now 25 and a senior, was at Notre Dame for four months as a freshman in 1946.

After a Navy hitch he was briefly at the Naval rammed over two plays later from the three yard line, Lear's passing and the ferocious work of the Mississippi line stunned the nation's number three football team into submission, and the Terps first loss since Oct. 4, 1950 and 21 games. For the entire second half, Mississippi's keyed up offense dominated the play and knocked on the goal line three times before the last payoff punch carried over. Ding-Dong Battle The game was a crushing ding-dong battle for the full 60-minutes but the hero of the day was the Mississippi line that bottled up All- America candidate Jack Scarbath and held that pass-master to only two completed throws. It took the jittery Mississippians four tries to break the deadlock and push over the game winning touchdown.

The partisan fans stood screaming- and yelling for a full 10-minutes after the game and presented a frenzied demonstration. After the lines of both Maryland and Mississippi clogged the opposing backs most of the first period, the Terps got moving on the bruising running of Halfbacks Chet Hanulak and Sophomore Leland Liebold. Scarbath doing his neat job behind the center, failed to find his passing range. Hanulak bounced over the last four yards for Maryland's first score on the first play of the second period after a scoreless first quarter. Don Decker converted.

Lear converted. 90-Yard Run Lightning struck Mississippi on their kickoff to Maryland. Defen sive Maryland Halfback Dick Nolan streaked from his own 10 where he took the kickoff straight down the middle 90 yards to a touchdown.

Not a Mississippi hand touched him, and Decker converted to give Maryland a 14-7 lead at the half. In the scoreless third period Mississippi twice threatened in the shadow of the Maryland goal post. George Harris, sophomore end, grabbed up a fumble to the Terps 13 and Lear worked the ball to the Terps four where he fumbled and Paul Nester of Maryland, re covered. A few minutes later, Mississippi (Continued on Page Si Column 7) pulled out of the line and spiralled a punt out on Tampa's one-yard line. Instead of kicking the Spar tans elected to run the ball and Tackle Chet a smacked through and dropped Leathers in the end 'tone for a safety which gave the visitors a 2-0 lead.

Tampa kicked off from its own 20 and again the teams parried with punts until the Mocs started marching with their first real offensive display of the first period Matowsky and Dukes spearheaded a drive from the Spartan 49 to the Tampa 20 before the locals dug in and took over on downs.

With a sellout crowd of 40,000 In the stands and millions watching on a national television hookup, the nation's No. 2 team found Alabama to be the toughest team It has played this season.

Not in 15 games had Tech been held to one touchdown. Tech's valiant defense, spearheaded by All-American linebacker candidate George Morris, three times halted Alabama drives which could have changed the outcome and brought a repeat of 1947 when 'Bama knocked Tech from the perfect-record ranks.

Bobby Marlow, Corky Tharp and Tommy Lewis, who showed the best running Tech's been up against this season, moved the ball to the one, but Tech's defense wouldn't give and 'Bama lost the ball on downs.

In the last quarter with about four minutes to play and trailing 7-3, Ed Pharo fell on Turner's fumble on the 'Bama 23 and Alabama started marching. Marlow, Thorp and Lewis chewed out big hunks of yardage and Tech couldn't stop them. The drive went 64 yards to Tech's 13 where the Crimson Tide needed four yards for a first down. Quarterback Clell Hobson threw a desperation pass into the ground and Tech came roaring back. Turner, who became a father for the first time only yesterday, almost single-handedly moved the ball back into Bama territory be lore the final whistle blew with Tech in possession about the 30.

Tech got its touchdown in the secona quarter alter Kodgers re lieved Bill Brigman, who couldn't get Tech's offense to click. Pretz, running from the halfback slot vacated last week by the injured Leon Hardeman, went the final nine yards for the score. Rodgers converted.

15 An unexpected offensive weapon, the Notre Dame fumble, gave Michigan State Capt. Don Mc-Auliffe once a freshman at Notre Dame a chance to score the two touchdowns that were the meat of Michigan State's 21-3 victory over the Irish here today. Michigan State recovered seveit Notre Dame fumbles during the defensive thriller watched by a record crowd of 52,472 in Macklin Stadium. Five times the Spartans muffed scoring chances but the law of averages gave them the two touchdowns needed to keep them unbeaten in 23 games. Notre Dame's field goal also was set up by a fumble for a change by Michigan State.

The Irish bobbled the ball three times in the first half but Michigan State couldn't make its scoring magic worK and tne game was a goose-egg tie at the intermission. Academy but then transferred to Michigan State. Defenseman Jimmy Ellis Intercepted a pass by Ralph GugliemI and sprinted to the Notre Dame 25 to set the stage for the final score. Fullback Evan Slonac, who had a perfect day with his extra point tries, raced around end for the score. Billy Wells fumbled for Michigan State as the second half opened and John Lattner recovered.

Notre Dame got down as far as the Michigan State six but had to try for a fourth down field goal. Sophomore Bob Arrix split the goal posts to put Notre Dame briefly in the lead by 3-0. Coach Biggie Munn's famous offense, which has been averaging, better than 440 yards a game, was! held to 128 yards rushing and 41 yards through passes.
