former believed that every note
should sing, and was able to
convince the grand piano. None
Of the three movements lacked
musical distinction, but it was
the second that most impressed
me. 1t is a lyric piece Of the
utmost outer simplicity (like
the slow movement of the last
Mozart concerto in B fiat), but
of. a never-relaxing tension
which demands a concentra-
ton all too few pianists are
able to maintain.
A word also should be said
about the cadenzas. which

one fitted its movement per.

movement off-handedly quotes

RECORDS

TALLAHASSEE -, H a d
Coach Jake Gather Of the Florida
A and M University Rattlers came
out with a new one in attempt-
ing to explain to the members OF
the Tallahassee Quarterback Club
why he has come up with another
good football season.
"I think our opposition gets so
diSguested because they can't
score that they figure they might
as well give us the ball and let
us score" Gather said. The
Rattlers were host to the club
here recently in the university
commons.
In a preseason story on the
Rattlers, the A and M mentor
stated that his team would have
to be satisfied with shorter gains
and increase their efforts on de-
Tense this year.
The gains may be short b u &
they certainly have been numer-
Gus. Statistics show that the Ratt-
lers have a net rushing yardage
Of 2,5l8 yards and total oftense
of 2,9l3 yards after seven games
this fall. They have scored 500
| points and have limited the OPP
position to 20.
The 2,6O7 yards on the ground
In 1856 Is just IL yards short OF
the 1857 figure after seven con-
tests. The total offense picture IN
1856 was 344l yards or 528 yards
more than 1857 total OF 2,0l3
seven game digits. It may be
| worthwhile note that the Ratt-
lers made only 500 plays in 1856
to 500 in 1857.
At the end of seven games In
1856, opponents had reached the
Rattlers for 81 points while they
had scored 3S3.
These statistics should SUBJ
stantiate Gathers statement.
How does he account for It?
"This fall" Gather said. I'VE
devoted about 20 per cent Of our
time to defense. We chose our
starting eleven on the basis OF
defense ability. It's paid off,"
Coach Pete Griffin should re-
| ceive most Of the credit for the
defense play Of the squad. Crit
fin handles defense and Gather
develops the offense.
| Along with turkey, wonder

ment from two quartetS, Gather
