In October, 1960, Florida upset Georgia Tech 18-17 and were off to a 9-2 season. The win yesterday was every bit as precious for the Tigers were 5-0 until 4:10 p.m., and 10th ranked in the nation. Florida is now 4-3 and turns into the stretch run against Georgia, Florida State and Miami with confidence and considerably more prestige. It was Florida which was the Tiger, not Auburn, on defense and this resistance was used as an offensive weapon.

The Gators turned two fumbles into touchdowns and grabbed another to stop a key War Eagle drive. Auburn had averaged 181 yards a game before hitting Florida Field. Yesterday, the Gators permitted only 42 net yards on the ground. They surrendered their quota in the air, 200, but critical interceptions made this total academic. Missed Good Show Only 35,000 saw it.

The 9,000 who bought seats but stayed away must regret it. Florida scored once in the first quarter on a sustained drive right into the Tiger's strength, and added two quickies in the third. Auburn's Woody VVoodall kicked one of three field goals he tried The good one came in the second quarter so the intermission score read 7-3, Florida.

It was a cool, overcast day most of the time, but coinciden-tally, the sun pocked out on each Florida touchdown play. A 67-yard drive rang up the first touchdown, halfback Sam Mack cracked for the last seven, then fumbled in the end zone to lose credit as handyman 'end, halfback, safetyman) Bruce Starling fell on the ball. 2Jk dEii ousfcon erao Two Quick Touchdowns Florida's explosive offense FSU asserted itself in the third quar 0 ers By JIM SELMAN Assistant Sports Editor LARRY DUPREE in the nation In defense Friday. Pensacola sophomore Jimmy Hall kicked two extra points, the first two. Tom Batten passed to end Billy Cash for a two-point conversion after the third, rubbing salt into the wounded Tiger.

Still Trying to Score Indeed, on the game's last play, Florida was still trying to score, and almost did, Larry Libertore, Holland and Russ Brown teaming up on a pass-lateral combination play that covered 58 yards to the Auburn 20, where the game ended. An official threw a flag on that play at the point of tackle but ter for two quick, very nearly back-to-baek touchdowns, both on opportunities provided by Auburn fumbles. The first came mid-way in the third with fullback Jim O'Donnell slipping over tackle for the final yard as the payoff to a 47-yard movement. Tommy Shannon's passes setting up, this chance. Auburn fumbled on the second play and on the first Florida run from scrimmage, Mac-Clcnny's sensational sophomore, Larry Duprce, sneaked through tackle, cut to his right and outran the secondary on a 38'i vard touchdown dash.

These 1 -1 'L. TALLAHASSEE It was a day like all Florida State homecomings here yesterday, except that it was idark, dreary and wet. The Seminoles couldn't score, but Houston did just once with 4V2 minutes to play won a 7-0 football struggle. It was like seeing the heavyweight champion staggered, then knocked out by the challenger. Except that fcere you don't get a rematch.

The Seminoles had a 4-1-1 record stashed away and Houston had lost four straight after two season-opening wins. But not once this year had Florida State seen the running likes of this Houston team or the ferocity of its big, tough line. The Cougars moved the ball like they knew nothing of Florida State's No. 6 natiopal ranking cn total defense. They ground out 273 rushing yards and 66 by air for a 339 total which surely will.
