Gators Still
In Running
For SEC Title
BY r. 7. MAcEEEIY

GAINESVILLE R-The Florids
Gators return to daytime football
this week, still hoping for the
Southeastern Conference title in
spite of 20-7 upset loss to Louisi-
ana State Saturday night.
The game at Baton Rouge was
Florida's third at night-all de.
feats. They've won their three day
games and the remaining four are
in daylight.
At Homecoming Saturday, Flor.
ida viii find a tough foe in Missis-
sippi State. Hardly anyone thought
the Maroons were good enough to
beat Alabama-although Florida
can thank them for it so far as
the Gators chances for the SEC
title are concerned.
Another result that helps was
Mississippi's, loss to Arkansas in
a game that counts in the SEC
standings. Alabama, Mississippi
and Florida all had 80 conference
records.
But when two of the SEC CO.
leaders fell Saturday afternoon,
and Florida missed the brass ring
Saturday night, the merry-go-
round broke down.
AL Doggett, LSU quarterback
who passes with an unorthodox
sidearm motion, hexed Florida for
the second straight year. His pass
ing and kicking gave LSU an up
hill 2l-21 tie last year.
This time he started each of the
th- ,e Tiger touchdown drives with
a pass-10 yards to John Wood,
30 to Vincent Gonzales and 81 to
Don Simpson.
But the thing that hurt Florida's
sophomores the most were their
own mistakes. Bob Smith fumbled
the opening kickoff and florida
was in a hole from which it never
dug out.
1t was at the start of the third
quarter that a fired up Louisiana
State team won the game-74
yards for one score and 56 for
another after a third Florida FUN
BILE.
Fred Robinson quarterbacked
Florida TO its own touchdown on
a 67-yard march in eight plays;
the last IA yards by Joe Brodsky.
Ed Bass kicked the conversion.
Georgia, now the only team un-
beaten In conference competition,
is much tougher than expected.
And Tennessee, Florida's other
SEC foe, has never lost to the
Gators. =

For a short time, Bratton held
the National Boxing Assn. version
of the welter title. Now that Sax
ton has taken over, Bratton again
