'Billy Grahams attempted conversion was no good. Marinkov took foe kickiff on foe three and galloped Cooch Lth Woi Right I understand their quarterback, does everything but eat the ball. When they play us, I doubt if we will even see it. Coach Wheeler Leeth said that several weeks ago in a talk before the Bradenton Rotary Club. He'was referring to Theron rafitchel, quarterback for the Suwannee County High Bulldogs of Oak.

ball wu still on the field when the time ran out in Live i Okks 26-0 smash of the Manatee Hurricanes at Hawkins Sta- dium, Friday night' About 5,200 people had' found out what Coach Leeth was talking about. Mitchell scored all of Live Oaks touchdowns and kicked both points. Credit Coach Leeth for another correct prediction. He said Manatee would have to play over its head to beat Live Oak. 1 Tha'feffoit Wm Than There wu no doubt that the Hurricanes tried.

They fought hard. Fact is, Manatee played its best offensive game of the year, matching Live Oak in first downs, whipping the' Bulldogs at their own game passing and running about evenly in rushing yardage. Live Oak simply was the better team. Let not Manatee fans think otherwise. 1 It wu apparent in the early stages that the Canes were a bit confident They got serious after Mitchell scored in the first quarter, but there just wasnt any stopping of this boy, without doubt me of the best quarterbacks ever playing on a Manatee fiuinty gridiron.

Effort Myers Assistant Coach Irv Ibach, again scouting Manatee, told halftime radio listeners that Mitchell wu the but high school quarterback he had seen. Incidentally, jumping off the subject Ibach has watched the Hurricanes all season. It is obvious Coach Jock Sutherland is more interested in beating the Canes this year than any other team on the Greenie schedule. Fort Myers also is having a down year. But watch out! The Greeniu will be up when they play here two weeks hence and should know about much of the Hurricanes the average Manatee 7 downs in each of the last three periods end staggered to victory only because Michigan State failed to convert after a dramatic dosing touchdown.

Aftw the Irish seemingly had the I game under control with two touchdowns by halfback Joe Heap in foe second end third periods end halfback Paul Reynolds in foe fourth, Michigan State struck 58 yards for a third Spartan touch-1 down in two plays. Thus with 1:05 left, fullback Jer- ry Planutis had it in his kicking! foot to tie the score. But his kick went wide of the-1 goal posts and the Irish gained their third victory against one defeat Planutis converted aftw the first score, but missed after the second and again aftw Bert Zagers romped 14 yards for the third Spartan touchdown in the closing seconds.

Scoring By' HUGH FULLERTON JR DURHAM, N.C., Oct IS (X-Quarterback Pete Vann worked black magic for Armys Black Knights today and the fUMmprov-ing Cadets knocked Duke out of the undefeated ranks with a 28-14 upset victory. It wu Armys third straight triumph after an opening loss to South Carolina. Vann, known as a passer, gave a remarkable display of ball handling aqd blossomed out as a hard-to-stop But it was the fast-charging Army line and an alert defense which shackled Dukes running attack until late in the game.

Fumble Twice During the first half, Duke, losing the ban twice on fumbles and once on an intercepted pass, failed to come dose to the Army goal. And when the powerful Blue Devils, finally got rolling it was too late. Army, hitting with lightning speed, scored two touchdowns in the second quarter and another at the start of the third to pile up a lead that Duke threatened but couldn't beat. When Duke got its second in the final quarter to cut Armys lead to 21-14, Vann sneaked over for his second touchdown to put it beyond Dukes reach. Army 8 14 7 7-28 Duke 8 8 7 7-14 Army scoring: Touchdowns, Lash, Zeigler, Vann 2.

Mitchell As Suwannee Eleven Scores 26-0 Win By JIMMY 8ELMAN (Han Id Sparta Hditor) The Manatee Hurricanes chased Quarterback Theron Mitchell all ovw Hawkins Stadium, Friday 1 night But foe dazzling runner, kicker and passer sewed four touchdowns and booted two extra points In Suwannee County High Bulldogs shocking 26-0 victory ovw the Hurricanes. The brilliant junior who made All-Northeast Conference quarterback as a sophomore in 1953, more than lived up to his advance notices.

Touted aa a pasaw, he Game Statistics a Does All The Hurricanes A Good Tim Coach Leeth said he other day Live Oak wanted the Manatee game to give its boys a' trip down the state. The players spent Thursday night at the Bradenton Armory and enjoyed the hospitality of local citizens and students in homes about the county, Friday night. There was no air of superiority in the Live Oak dressing room after the game, only a lot of laughter and talk. One boy paused to tell us that was a good team. It was more football for the Bulldogs yesterday afternoon.

The entire team left Bradenton Saturday morning to see the Florida-Kentucky game in Gainesville. We wondered if Live Oak interest centered around the Florida State Seminoles, since the town is close to Tallahassee, or on the Florida Gators. So we asked. It definitely isnt FSU, we were told, but really nowhere in particular right now because most of boys have another year in high school. here we had thought they were post graduates! Basket boll Official The Western Conference is seeking basketball officials for the nmfag season.

Registered officials interested in working Western games are asked to send names, by teams, and addresses and FHSAA registration numbers to Dick Jones at Boca Ciega High School in St Petersburg before Nov. 1. Today' Activity On the sports agenda today are penguin sailing races between sailors of the Manatee River Boat Club and Bradenton Yacht Club off the Palmetto shore at 1: 30 p.m. Or if you want to laugh awhile, take in the golf clinic and match at the Bradenton Country Club at 1:30. Were told itll be funny.

wo more: drives with Kentucky tumbles near midfield. Allen passed 10 yards to Wei ton Lockhart for the first touchdown, scored the second from the 1, -pitched out to Jackie Simpson for -six yards and the third; and kicked foe three conversions. Kentucky moved the ball with ease until jarred loose from it, or until Bob Hardys passes fell into Florida hands. Hardy scored Kentucky's touch-down and converted. The 32.000 fans in Florida Field cheered their Gators return to the -form that brought earlier victories over Georgia Tech and Auburn.

Joe Brodsky, a sophomore, also played with both the Orange and Blue units because of injuries to Mai Hammack. Lance and Ham- -mack were hurt in Florida's upset oss to Clemson last week. Stimulated Them The extra duty stimulated both --Allen and Brodsky to their best performances. Brodsky, a 210- pound bruiser, smashed ahead or ran wide and picked up 70 of Florida's big 269 yards on the ground. Halfbacks Bob Davis and Bob Smith were defensive stars for the Gators against Hardys passing attack which until today was the most successful in the conference.

Smith intercepted two passes and Davis one, and both batted many of them away from Kentucky hands. Florida Faster Kentucky came into this game after victories over Louisiana State and Auburn and with a reputation 1 for speed. But Florida seemed faster today. On Simpson's touchdown run, a wide sweep to the right with a pitchout, he outraced three Kentucky men who seemed to have him hemmed against the sideline. And Allen, who is not noted as a runner, picked up 34 yards in eight attempts.

Fassed Late Kentucky stayed on the ground with Florida for the most part until late in the game when desperation was necessary. Hardy threw nine passes in the late minutes. Six found their mark, but twice when the Florida goal came in sight, Davis and Smith demanded possession for Florida. When the two teams traded touchdowns in the opening minutes, it appeared a wild scoring game was in prospect. Tide Changed But the tide changed when Kentucky's Don Netoskie juggled a pass from center as he stood on the Kentucky 45 to punt.

Gene Purcell, sophomore center, grabbed the ball for Florida and the Gators scored in nine plays one of them' a holding penalty against Kentucky. The outcome was hardly in doubt when the final quarter started, but the thrills weren't over even then. Both teams threatened twice. Flor- -ida's first was the most serious, ending four yards from foe Kentucky goal when the Wildcats held for downs. Kentucky 9 9 9-7 Fterlda 7 7 7 9-41 Kentucky scoring: Hardy.
