THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE GAME Nearly every Florida player saw action during this game in which the stubborn resistance of the Se- wanee team was outstanding. Florida 27, Citadel 7 After their triumph over Sewanee, Florida's Gators went a step further and gained a two-fold victory the following Saturday by defeating Citadel 27-7 and by breaking the jinx that had overhung Florida Field since its dedication against Alabama in 1930. Only a few minutes of play had elapsed after the opening kickoff when A1 Rogero took the ball on Citadel's 37-yard line and covered the distance for a touchdown. Hughes kicked the point, and Florida led 7 -0. The Citadel team remained stubborn, however, and battled the Gators on even terms dur- ing the remainder of the period. Toward the close of the second quarter, Faulkner, Citadel's elusive halfback, intercepted McAnly's pass on the Citadel 25-yard stripe and raced seventy-five yards for a touchdown. The extra point was good and at the close of the first half the score stood deadlocked at 7 -7. A THE GEORGIA TECH GAME Page 171

On the next play, he caught McAdams' pass on the Gator 15-yard stripe and crossed the goal. McQuage kicked the point and State led 7 - 0. A Florida slightly outplayed the Wolfpack throughout the remainder of the first half, but a penalty in- flicted on Florida for delaying the game, with the ball on State's 3-yard line, prevented an almost cer- tain score. Another Gator drive began early in the second half, when Lane recovered on State's thirty-three. Moye, Rogero, and Stolz alternated in advancing the ball to the 5-yard stripe, from which Rogero scored the lone Florida touchdown. The try for conversion failed and Florida trailed 6-7. As the last quarter began, McQuage brought the stands to their feet with a spectacular return of Ferrazzi's kickof to F1orida's thirty-nine. Comiski and McQuage combined to place the ball on the Giinch line and Comiski shoved across for another touchdown. McQuage added the extra point from p acement. The Gators unleashed a dangerous passing attack, but this was brought to a halt by Roy when he intercepted Dorsett's heave and returned to Florida's 10-yard line. At this point, McQuage climaxed his splendid toe work with a perfect field goal. Play centered around midfield until the game ended with N. C. State leading 17 - 6. Page 173
