ITS ISI an'T Florida State Tops Wolfpack Fourth Period Pass Decides Close Game TALLAHASSEE, Sept. 17 (AP) -Tom Feamster, 6-foot-7 end, gathered in a fourth quarter pass from quarterback Swantic to give Florida State University a football victory over North Carolina State tonight 7-0. The 49-yard touchdown play broke a scoreless deadlock after Florida State dug in time after time to halt serious N.C. State threats. The scoring play was a brilmaneuver by quarterback Swantic which caught the Wolfpack defenses flat-footed.

On the preceding play, Swantic had thrown a second down screen nine inches pass to halfback, Lee Corso from a first down--on the N.C. State 49. The Wolfpack apparently expected a line play for the yardage and lined up in tight defensive formation. Instead Swantic faded back and lobbed a long pass down field. The giant Feamster hauled the ball in at the 25, pivoted away from defensive halfback Zubaty and raced unmolested across the goal line.

N.C. State tried desperately to recoup after the touchdown with Eddie West's passes and Zubaty's hard running, taking the ball in to the FSU 20. But Corso halted the drive when he intercepted Gilbert Micklem on the back to the 29. Florida 0 0 8 Florida State scoring. Touchdown (Feamster, pass from Swantle and run.) Conversion, Proctor.

The touchdown came when quarterback Don King, after racing around his left end for nine yards, tossed a lateral to Pagliei who scampered 18 yards for the score.

Wilson scored the first touchdown against his former teammates, converted three times and blocked the attempted conversion after the RandolphMacon touchdowh in the third period. Both of Richmond's starting halfbacks, George Riggs and Lou Wacker, and fullback Frank Pajaczkowski gained repeatedly in sorties into the RandolphMacon line as the Spiders scored three touchdowns the first half. Wilson scored the first on a nine-yard pass from quarterback Tom Theodose, Don Wager, a sophomore halfback, went the last three yards of a 39-yard advance for the second score, and Riggs set up the third touchdown with a 59-yard sprint to the Jacket 5.

He scored two plays later. Randolph-Macon carried the play to the Spiders at the outset of the third period, finally cashon Spider fumble score their only touchdown. But Richmond struck back for a score in that quarter and added another in the final period while threatening en to score even more often. The Jackets marched downfield early in the third period a pair of passes from Phil Coppage to Ken Joyner and Bernard Spencer for 26 and 18 yards. The Spiders put down the uprising on their 22, but they were in trouble again when Riggs fumbled and Charlie Nuttycombe recovered on the Richmond 30.

BACK TO EARTH MILWAUKEE, Sept. 17 (AP)Bill Sherwood. who has been sitting atop a flagpole since June 23 waiting for the Milwaukee Braves to win seven straight games, will come down Monday. By losing to the St. Louis Cardinals today, the Braves lost any chance of winning seven straight because there are only six games remaining on their schedule.

Sherwood had said he would not come down until the Braves won seven in a row or until they had no chance to do it. -Richmond's lighting -fast backs the Spiders scored an impressive traditional opening game rival, 7,000 spectators in City Stadium. after the kickoff, marching 88 yards for a touchdown. The chief grounder was Pajaczkowski, who ripped off three runs of 14 yards each, the last for a touchdown. Richmond's final touchdown came with dramatic suddenness in the final quarter.

Deep in his territory Nuttycombe dropped back to punt on fourth down. He fumbled the pass from center and tried desperately to evade the hard-charging Richmond forwards. Apparently spotting a teammate open for a pass, Nuttycombe got a wobbly aerial off that was intercepted by freshman tackle Pat Lamberti, who ran six yards for the touchdown.

BOTH HAD GOOD reason. The helmet probably saved Rizzuto from injury when he was hit in serious, back of the head by the fourth. Byrne, one of George Susce's pitches, in route the second straight time. increased the Yankee's slender lead in the American League pennant race by doling out only four hits.

"The pitch that hit me was A curve ball." said Rizzuto in the dressing room where he had been carried. saw it and then I heard Sam White (Boston catcher) yell 'look out' and then I lost sight of it. "When I was beaned in 1946 by Nelson Potter, the same thing happened. The catcher's yell startled me and I lost sight of the ball. I didn't have any protective helmet at that time and I was out 10 days.

I'm the first one around here to use one. This is my fourth year with it. I tell the other guys they're foolish not to use them." Rizzuto has a slight bump on his head. He may be allowed to play tomorrow on "Phil Rizzuto at the stadium, Said the happy Stengel: "BYRNE HAS BEEN a lifesaver. He's got a lot of nerve.

He has beaten the big clubs. I figured we would be lucky to get nine or 10 wins out of him for the year, but now he's got 16. The feller in center field (Bob Cerv. of course) was great, too. He's a better center fielder than he's a left or right fielder.

"When Rizzuto worked that double steal it was the key play of the first inning."
