In its last three bowl-winning appearances State practiced at least a dozen times. and for Geor gia Tech double practice sessions were the order of the day.

However, a solid core of team leaders raised one condition which would have to be met before they could play. Graves, puzzled and apprehensive, asked what the con dition was. In so many words it was this: "We would like to play against a fine team like Penn State IF we will be permitted to work hard and get ready to play them the best game we're capable of play ing.

The some times hot, sometimes cold Gators, who slipped into the game through the back door after Duke and Georgia Tech turned their faces, departed grandly from the main entrance. Anywhere from seven to ten point underdogs before the game, Florida's unranked and four-time beaten angry band of confederates completely dominated and played "rings around" ninth-ranked and Eastern kingpin Penn State, The Gators recovered three State fumbles, intercepted two passes, held the Nittanies to only 89 yards on the ground, and kept the Lions muzzled in their own territory-all afternoon. Except for a touchdown drive late in the second quarter, the Lions never got inside Florida's 38, and so futile were their offensive efforts that they managed first downs on only three series of downs. SOMEWHERE BEHIND them up North the Lions obviously had left much of their poise and polish that had carried them to a 9-1 record and a reputation as one of the top teams in the country. There wasn't a time, except when the Lions prowled 76 yards in 17 plays for their second period touchdown, that they even slightly resembled the well drilled en semble that won the last six. games of the regular season.
