Followers of the Orange and
Green are singing the praises of
Junior halback - Jasper Saun-
ders of Perrine, Florida, who led
the RattlerS to the stunning vic
tory before some 5000 bowling
fans.

Carver High in >Coconut Grove

initial drive after Saunders took
Otris Bumps" Williams punt on
the mid-field stripe and returned

held for two downs before jack
son pitched to Monroe in the end
zone for the tally. Blakely con-
verted.
The remainder of the period
was filled with punting as neith-
er team seemed to make much
Roadway with its ground attack.
AS the quarter drew to a close,
Jackson again took to the air
and Saunders hauled in the heave
on the Florida 40 near the right
Sidelines. He cut to within inches
of the out-of- bounds marker,
picked up his interference and
headed for paydirt. A key block
by tackle Alphonso Warmer on
the 20 proved to be the "insur-
ance" measure as he sped over

by the sensational dash.
Florida received to begin the
third period. Cleveland Wright
kicked off and Stephens took the
ball in the end zone and returned
it to Florida "a On the next play
he attempted to run his own right
end but the Florida blockerS were
not there, as he tried reversing
his field, Lett and Monroe chased
him into the end zone where they
nailed him for the safety.
Today's game was one in which
fundamental football was the
factor. Each team showed respect
for the others defensive power.
This is attested by the number of
punts - the Rattlers kicked IL
times for an average of 80 yards
