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. This
time though, the Lions had only
nine and some of them left much
to be desired because of the
weather.
Florida, on the other hand, had
several _ sessions before fin a l
exams started and Graves told
the team, to work out on its own
until Dec. 24.. Then two-a-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. We don't want to go to Jack

The point of resolutions seems to be:
To make them solemnly, break them with glee
So, to break this discouraging mold—
We hereby abandon new leaf for old.
In 1963 we solemnly resolve:
NOT to forsake our tradition of service with a smile,
NOT to turn away from our established policy of
quick service,
NOT to renounce our custom of catering
to the college crowd,
NOT to desert our devotion to extra care and
\ finer workmanship,
NOT to bypass our passion to please, whatever your
clothes care needs.
Hoping these negative will bring yoU cheer,
We wish you a positive ... happy New Year.

was called the worst mismatch in
the history of the classic.
But all the practice, sweat and
determination paid off. 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.
