Florida scored every whichaway yesterday and more often than ever since Coach Ray Graves came here in 1960 to dissect Tulane 51-13 and earn the opportunity to play Missouri in the Sugar Bowl Jan. 1. Because rules forbid acceptance of a bowl bid by a Southeastern Conference team until next Saturday there can be no official statement so far as to the Gators' holiday date, however.

But if you have the money and the inclination spend your New Years in New Orleans. The Sugar Bowl people were not present for yesterday's rout of Tulane but ironically the Cotton Bowl was. WHILE THE COTTON BOWL waited to see what happened to Kentucky last night against Houston, the Sugar Bowl signed Missouri in the afternoon and offered the pen to Florida Coach Ray Graves about 6 yesterday afternoon. He couldn't take it officially but can say publicly "I understand that we are now No. 1 on the Sugar Bowl's list and we are honored." Theo Maumos, president of the Sugar Bowl, reached trrirza '-V 'u-ufy i py leiepnone, toia ine iriDune a ionaa is io.

Dut "as you know rules forbid my saying they have been offered an invitation." Friends, they have and the Gators have accepted, on their honor if not by signature. THIS WILL BE the first time a Florida football team has ever been to a major bowl other than the Gator. The Gators are now 6-2 and Missouri is 6-2-1, after yesterday's 30-0 win over Oklahoma.

The Gators scored with the game only one minute and 34 seconds old yesterday against Tulane and with one minute and 33 seconds left, scoring seven touchdowns, six extra points and a field goal while still limiting Tulane to a record minus one yard rushing. 1 SECTION BUSINESS MARKETS TAMPA QUARTERBACK Val Johnson (12) drives to Maine's 25-yard line in second quarter. (Staff Photo by August Staebler) Maine THE SPECTACLE of the Florida offense (486 total yards) was seen by 36,232 and a cautious Cotton Bowl scout who volunteered: "They'd make somebody a great bowl team," but this scout was not empowered to offer a bid. The Gators streaked to a 35-7 halftime lead, grew characteristically lethargic in the third quarter, then added 16 in the last.

Why, it was 14-0 after four offensive Florida plays and four and a half minutes gone, then 21-0 after 11 plays and 11:28 of playing time elapsed.

They came to Tampa with an 8-0 record for their final game of the season. FROM THAT point, Maine fullback, Ron Lanze, tried to go up the middle twice but was held.

Then on third down, the whole Spartan wall crumbled the Black Bear line and three linemen speared through to trap quarterback Dick DeVar-ney in the end zone for the life-giving safety. The mass movement of the Spartan forward wall was so complete that it was minutes before it could be determined who had crushed DeVarney to the ground. It appeared the entire Tampa team was on top of him. It was only after the defensive team had come off the field could it be determined that it was freshman center Ron Brown, junior tackle Mandy Flores and senior tackle Charlie Foures who had actually born the runner to the ground.

Instead, FSU now must come to grips with impending disaster. State might have had a bowl invitation with a 7-3 finish, but is 4-4 now with Houston coming to Tallahassee Saturday and the windup due with Florida in two weeks. It was the final N.C. State game in this ancient 58-year-old stadium if the contractor meets his deadline and completes a new $3.2 million stadium in time for next season's opener. So the Wolves finished here just like they started in 1907, N.C.

State defeated Randolph-Macon 20-0 in what then was shiny, new Riddick. The windup was more exciting than you would imagine a 3-0 game to be and the Seminoles had two extra opportunities at the ball in the dying moments because of pass interference and roughing the kicker calls against the Wolves. BUT PRITCHETT could not complete the desperately (Continued on Page 5, Col. 1) MIAMI connected on 8 of 9 aerials in the first half and dominated the game all the way. Drives of 60 and 80 yards gave Miami a 14-0 halftime lead.

LAST YEAR, it was the Wrolfpack which shelved Pritchett for the season with his third career knee injury during FSU's 28-6 win at Tallahassee.

'The North Carolina State Wolf-pack turned into a defensive Goliath three weekends ago and grew and grew yesterday In smashing down Florida State's Seminoles 3-0 in the farewell to old Riddick stadium. Golden toed Harold Deters' 41-yard field goal early in the third quarter was the marginal difference in a fierce defensive struggle. FSU's Pete Roberts had missed a field goal from the 14 in the second period.

1 Deters' kick came seven plays after N.C. State defensive end Gary Whitman pounced upon a loose high center snap which Seminole punter John Hosack couldn't field at the FSU 44. The Seminole offense was fed to the Wolves, chewed up and spit out. It was N.C. State's third successive shutout and made it 13 quarters since anyone has scored on the Wolves.

Last to do so was Maryland In a 29-7 N.C. State victory Oct. 2. Since that day, the Wolfpack has whipped Virginia 13-0, Duke 21-0 and now FSU. The Carolinians showed sparks of what was to come Oct.
