scoring in this taut hard-fought game Florida hard-hitting all the way made its most serious bid late in the game pushing to the LSU 9 and later to the 4 But the i team and Chinese Bandits" held the line The LSU score followed a mid-field break Tiger end Mickey Mangham rushed Gator punter Bobby Joe Green so hard on fourth down he could not get a kick away and LSU took over at Florida's 48 Quarterback Warren Rahb tossed a 19-yard pass and the Tigers moved to a first down on the Gator 15 Then Cannon crashed for nine yards to the 4 and scored two plays later from the 1 Florida almost

today but won tremendous respect as a hard-hitting plucky football team iouisiana national champions had all the best of it in a 9-0 victory running better passing more speed and more and oh yes a great deal more luck Florida once-defeated and once-tied already this season went nut to win before a rambunctious Homecoming crowd of a new school and they would hare needed a lot of luck to do It Rut luck refused lo ally itself with the Gators on this sunlit afternoon And the quipster would say that Florida had a kick coming It was like this: Florida had fought itself out of the hole in magnificent fashion in a quarter and a half and Jon MacBeth had just darted up the middle for 34 yards to the LSU 46: Three plays netted absolutely nothing Bobby Joe Green punter and dropkieker went back to punt Somebody forgot to even wave at Mickey Mangham the Bengal left end who of course went in to block the punt Green was trapped He tried to run couldn't and lost seven yards That was it Good teams capitalize on good breaks LSU was quick to do so the key play being a 19-yard pass from Warren Rabb to Don Dave The Tigers scored in nine plays Billy Cannon ramming through the Gators from the 1 Even so the six points came quickly after a strange break On the play before the touchdown Dave fumbled and Dick Brantley recovered for Florida but alas the Gators were offside and the penalty sent the ball io the 1 THE GATORS had barely recovered from this one when Gay-nell doesn't that sound like a hero from a historical speared a Florida pass near midfield storied "Go the second unit raced the clock for yardage Finally with 27 seconds (o go Wendell Harris the snhpo-mnre whiz (and just what he is) kicked for three points from the 17 This was a weird sort of thing too The hall hit the upright on the right side fell down and dribbled along the crossbar and then dropped over The referee showing an understandable reluctance to call the play until all associated had voted finally signalled that the kick was good which was incidentally the fifth field goal of the season for Harris He has kicked more than any collegian in the country THE BONER on the attempted punt set off a chain reaction that robbed the Gators of any chance for an upset The irony of it is that Gator partisans have been disgruntled in recent weeks because Boh Woodruff (1) punted too much (2) kicked on third down too often and (3) never gambled Most of the noisy homecoming fans would have given anything today if the Gators had punted on third down or had a chance to kick one on fourth down This shattering blow simply took the Gators out of the game against a team that permits few mistakes To add insult to injury Green averaged an eye-popping 566 yards on the five punts he did get off SCOUTS coaches and newspapermen having witnessed the one-sided first-half show (Florida 42 yards rushing to 108 three first downs to 11) feared the a bad beating for the Gators In the next two quarters the Gators couldn't score but they did make friends and influence people Wood ruffs gang fought off every challenge of the resourceful Tigers and finally launched an amazing offensive of its own The break came early in the final period Cannon sped 26 yards with a towering Green punt but the Gators knocked him loose from the ball and Dick Allen grabbed it at the LSU 45 This set the stage for an aerial show that was a delight to the fans Quarterback Allen wandered all over the place LSU linemen lunged at him came up with nothing He ran II plays hit two desperation passes and finally wound up on the LSU I The "Chinese Bandits" had prevailed once again These same Bandits reeled off two first downs before a fumble gave Florida the bad again This time the Gators faked passes and ran going 35 yards in five plays to a first down at the 8 Again the Bandits were too 20od They took the ball four plays later at the 9 and this time it was unconditional surrender COACH WOODRUFF said "I really thought
