Oh, Tennessee won the game though it was a bit more than a waltz at 38-0. And the Spartans were knocking people down on the emerald green turf with as much vigor when the game was lost as when it was 0-0, but it was the package that went over so. "Great, iust ere at." said Gov.

Fvpn a nredicted rain- cold front held off and laid on the northern horizon until the last of the inaugural day patrons had left the imposing structure that was an idea just six years ago this month.

Tennessee jumped to a 10-0 first quarter lead, made it a comfortable 17-0 by half, then a relaxing 31-0 by the end of three periods. Indeed, the Vols were themselves running out the last seconds of the game with quarterback sneaks, so accomodating were they.

This was the 11th straight fruitless visit by the Gainesville team. Florida, which scored first and last but not enough, appeared convincing enough after a see-saw first quarter punting battle.

Delong caught four passes for 56 yards, one of them for the game's second touchdown. Tampa scored an early moral victory when the Vols could do nothing with their first opportunity on the second, had to settle for a 42-yard field goal by high jump champ Karl Kremser, a soccer-style kicker.

TECH, WHICL' could not advance beyond its own 26 the first six times it had possession, finally drew even when Loria went into his payoff act. It was a dazzler and gave the sell-out crowd something to cheer about. Loria, a senior biding for repeat honors as All-Ameri-can, gathered Hank Collins' punt in on his own five, then cut to the left sideline. By the time he reached the 15-yard line a wall of blockers had formed, and he cruised along in front of the Hokie bench untouched.

Green's 29 carries equalled the record for most runs set by another pint-sized Seminole halfback, Fred Pickard in a 42-0 humiliation loss to Georgia in 1959. What the 5-10, 173-pound Green got out of it was one touchdown, a welt on his back about the size of a saucer and a promise of all the peanut butter sandwiches he can hold. EATING A PRE-GAME peanut butter sandwich has been a ritual with the Cairo, senior since his sophomore year.

Funny how these football quirks go, but there were two times this year Green didn't get his peanut butter at Houston and prior to the N.C. State Game. For the uninitiated, the Seminoles lost 33-13 to Houston and by 20-10 to N.C. State, their lone defeats in now a superb 5-2-1 season. Green scored Florida State's first touchdown on a 5-yard run in the first quarter.

Fullback Bill Moremen got another on a 1-yard dive in the fourth period and quarterback Kim Hammond got his first-ever score for the Seminoles on a 3-yard keeper in the fourth quarter. Grant Guthrie kicked two field goals of 22 and 37 yards in the second period and booted two extra points. A Hammond pass failed on the other conversion attempt when it was 19-7 and the issue seemingly still in doubt, but not really.

The University of Miami won, 14-7, yesterday, dropping the Gobblers from the ranks of the unbeaten. Not even a brilliant 95-yard punt return by Frank Loria for a touchdown was enough to keep Tech from avenging a similar 14-7 defeat to Miami in last year's Liberty Bowl. All the scoring was packed into the second quarter and for Miami it was a matter of taking advantage of Tech penalties for one touchdown, then turning a Gobbler gamble that misfired into another.

MEANWHILE, the Tech attack never threatened on its own. What scoring opportunities it had were provided by the defense which was called on to handle the Hurricane most of the cold, windy afternoon. The home team did not manage a first down for more than 40 minutes, finishing with a meager three first downs in all. The largest crowd in state sports history turned out for this one, and it saw Tech do very little to impress scouts from three post-season bowl games (Liberty, Sugar, and Except for a fumble recovery at the Miami 25, the Gobblers failed to move inside the Hurricane 44. A 59-yard drive, aided by a personal foul penalty en route, gave Miami a 7-0 lead 3:15 into the second quarter.

A pass interference infraction established a first and goal situation from the Tech one, back at the Miami 30. Now only Collins was between him and the end zone. IT BECAME a one-against-one foot race, and Loria barely won it. Collins made a diving try at the Hurricane five, clipping Loria's feet. He stumpled, then dove headlong across the goal line.

Jon Utin's kick brought the count even (7-7), and when his ensuing kick-off was bob-bled by Miami, and the ball recovered by Tech's Steve Bocko at the Miami 25, the Gobblers appeared to have the proper momentum to put their offense in high gear. It didn't work out that way, however. A five-yard run by George Constantinides was enough for a first down on the Hurricane 14, but Dickie Longerbeam was called for (Continued on Pare 6, CoL 6) Seminoles9 Green Picks Up First Down Memphis State's Alex Dees (82) grabs low, Howard Stubbs (66) dives high.
