C. State and the loss of several experienced players by injuries and other difficulties, the Gators were conceded a very slight chance against Georgia. A vast homecoming crowd on their home field seemed to inspire the Bulldogs to their best efforts of the season, with Florida suffer- ing therefrom to the tune of a 33 - 12 score. The Gators passing attack threatened soon after the opening whistle, when Jack Henderson flipped an aerial to George Moye for forty yards and a touchdown. The kick was Wide. Through the alertness of Jimmie Hughes, Who twice recovered Bulldog fumbles on the 15- and 18-yard lines, Florida held this slight margin throughout the first quarter. Georgia's scoring commenced early in the second period when David dashed thirty-five yards to the Gator 2-yard line, from whence Grant went over. Batchelor tacked on the extra point and Florida trailed 7 - 6 at the half. Early in the second half, Henderson returned Batchelor's punt to the Bulldog twenty-eight, then passed to Moye, who was downed on the Georgia 6-yard stripe. Hughes Went over in three tries, again giving Florida the lead. W' . 6' , ' r 5 gl -f --vi,..-- -... Page 174 5

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

Jacksonville But this was short lived, for in five plays the Bulldogs marched from their own five across the Flor- ida goal, Later in the same quarter, Homer Key raced through the center of the Florida line for forty- five yards and the third Georgia touchdown. In the last quarter, Grant took advantage of a Florida fumble and added his second six-pointer of the day. Buster Mott scored the fifth and final Georgia touchdown after a sustained drive had placed the ball in the shadow of the Florida goal. Florida 13, North Carolina I8 Although Florida accounted for twelve first downs to North Garolina's four, and Herb lVlcAnly alone gained more yardage than the entire Tarheel team, the fortunes of football were adverse to the Gators that day and they went down in defeat. Daniel, Carolina back, took the opening kickoff on his 5-yard stripe and eluded the entire Florida team to race 95 yards for a touchdown. This brilliant run seemed to spur the Gators to action, and a few moments later the combination of McAnly and Moye had traveled fifty yards in five plays to make it first and goal on the Carolina five. McAnly's fourth down pass was fumbled by Hughes across the goal and was ruled incomplete. i Again taking the ball on downs, the Gators marc hed down the field for sixty yards, with Moye scoring Page 175
