Tough Com petition CAINESVILLE - XVith four straight wins under their belts, a perfect record, and a Homecoming crowd cheering them on, the Hurricanes stunned the Sarasota Sailors with a 29-0 victory. ln the first quarter, the Canes took the lead as a high hike went from the Sailors, 10 yd. line, over their quarterbackis head and into the end zone for a safety. Sarasota then kicked off' from the 20 yd. line and gave the Gainesville offense a turn to score. NVith a third down and nine to go situation, quarterback McAshan spotted senior flanker Outlaw racing down field and hit him with a perfect pass for a touchdown. This marked the beginning of a superb offensive show. Although the determined offensive line of Sarasota fought gallantly, they were no match for the wall-like line put up by the Gainesville Headhunters. John Kidwell, replacing injured end Jim Niblack and on the starting line - up for the first time, hauled in six crucial passes from Mc- Ashan including two for first downs. In the third quarter, master blocker and runner, Roundtree waltzed seven yds. to bring the score to l6-0. Early in the last quarter Stipanovich tore through the Sailor line for his ninth touchdown ofthe Season. After Stipanovichis run, which put the Canes in front 22-0, Coach Niblack put in his second team and watched as quarterback Holland led the Canes 36 yds. for another touch- down on a quarterback carry. Monday moming brought good news for the Hurricanes as A.P. polls rated them number one after the stunning Homecoming victory.

EDGEVVATER - The Purple Hurricanes put their perfect record on thc line at Orlando to take on the undefeated Edgewater Eagles ranked 16th in the state and came out with a rain-soaked 14-6 victory. When the Canes took the field, it was pouring rain and the Weather did not im- prove. Duc to the inclement weather the game became a punting bout as the pigskin changed hands many times during the first quarter. Early in the second quarter Quarterback Mc- Ashan gave fans something to cheer about. With third down and eight yds. to go, McAshan rolled out around end, saw daylight, and took off. Ten seconds and 56 yds. later he was in the end zone and gave GHS the lead. Edgewater fell victim to an instant replay as McAshan did it again, this time from 14 yds, out, to raise the Hurricane tally to 14. On defense, the light of glory shone on cor- nerback Phillips as he batted down three pro- spective touchdown passes. All in all, it was the defensive effort which far surpassed pre-game expectations and held the 16th team in Florida to one touchdown. GHS 14-EHS 6.
