set up the first touchdown with an eight-yard sprint to the Green Wave one pitched 23 yards to sophomore Fullback Fred Cassidy for No 2 and curved right end five yards for the final TD Friday night as vastly-improved Miami belted Tulane 21-0 before 33855 people who liked what they saw in the Orange Bowl The Blitzer perpetual motion with a pass completed 14 of 24 shots as the Hurrieanes won their second straight game and first before the home folks slnee shading Purdue 3-0 on Sept 28 1963 The 192-pound lefty provid UM's hungry-to-hit defenders meanwhile restricted Tulane to a rushing gain of zero yards and contained Quarterback Dave East a cool character under pressure with 128 harmless yards passing Miami's primitive practitioners hit Coach Tommy receivers so ferociously on their 16 catches that before the finish they appeared to be hearing foot- steps and occasionally dropped bullseyes Though beating a team that could boast of only a 25-6 victory over popcorn hitters Miami gave spectators an idea of what Coach Charlie Tate meant recently when he said fans have been mighty good to us someday we hope to reward them" On the interior Posse w'as as tough as pig- iron but Russell (Rustler) Smith got away from the defenders around the corners for 61 yards on 21 carries His best gains came early on a bit of chicanery cooked up particularly to catch the Posse napping Taking the

ORD Herald Sports Writer F'or half the season Bob Biletnikoff the University of i a i 's amazing young quarterback had his own post-game analysis that went something like this sir we were or sir we He always ended with Friday night the sophomore lefthanded passing whiz looked like George Mira at his best passing And after the game in the steamy Orange Bowl dressing room he expounded like William Jennings Bryan the gold orator of the '20s going all the way" the blond sophomore exclaimed getting good blocking now and we've learned a lot of football in taking our lumps Pete (Banaszak) and Russ (Smith) in the backfield it takes a lot of pressure off me Russ is a threat to break loose and go all the way any time and our opponents all fear Coach Charlie Tate has been running his own weekly serial in Making of a Quarterback" and Friday night he was proud of the finished product After the 21-0 lacing of Tulane Tate put the stamp of approval on Biletnikoff for his 14-for-24 passing ran the team like a Charlie gropped for the right word he was just great His passing was wonderful It his best game and our best Biletnikoff who became the fourth best single season passer behind Mira Fran

for Close One Today In Scrap With Dooley-Sharp Georgia Tate Gives Tulane number of people are scoffing at the eight-point favoritism of Florida in their game at 2 today in the Gator Bowl And a lot of the scoffers are Florida folks who see Georgia as eten more of a threat than Auburn was last week Any way anybody slices it this one looks close Florida has won the last four games by a single touchdown been three touchdowns to two every year since I've been at Florida" says Florida Coach Ray Graves I'll sure settle for that If there is a valid reason for Florida's betting edge (and there usually is with the unsentimental gentlemen who make the prices! it would be pass defense THE BULLDOGS are tied for third in Southeastern Conference standings with a league record of 3-1 But they rank last in pass defense with an average allowance of 134 yards per game Conversely Florida has a fine passer in Steve Spurrier (36x62 for 494 yards) and the league's best pass defense (607 yards per game) Bv EDWIN POPK Hertd AsslsUftf Sports Editor JACKSONVILLE Vince Dooley is one of the few football coaches who can discuss political science as glibly as their own game He happens to have a master's degree in the subject Dooley's precise political views have not been defined But in football at least he is an extremist an extremely good coach with an extremely surprising team in his first year at the University of Georgia The Bulldogs have come on so strong that an amazing Florida will need both if Georgia plays back to its 24-8 victory over North Carolina last week Just about the time the Gators were milling around and using defense to stop Auburn 14-0 the Bulldogs struck on a quick 66-yard pass play and never were in trouble thereafter against Carolina Perpetrators of this strike were Quarterback Lynn Hughes and Halfback Don Porterfield But Georgia prohably has an even more dangerous quarterback in Preston Ridlehuber who led a 21-7 triumph over Kentucky the previous week Dooley shuttles in his quarterbacks just as he was used on Auburn's roted and teams of the 1950s And now he has sold even the most dedicated advocates of the one-quarterback system on his method "I never agreed with it before" commented former Ole Miss and Georgia Coach Harry Mehre after the Bulldogs thumpbd NC Dooley has made a believer out of got the timing down When Tate wins he really becomes Jolly Choly After four losses and a tie and the squeaker over Detroit (10-7) last week Tate was beginning to slip into a dream world this is he kept saying This time the tune was different Not once did he use the word beginning to look like a football team not out of the woods yet but seeing daylight" he said The bread-and-butter play for Miami against Tulane was a ruming screen pass from Biletnikoff to Smith that Tate had junked after the Georgia Tech game because Bob Couldn't make it go way he has improved we knew he could work the Turn to Page 2C Col 8 Crewman Injured En Route
