third period, smashing over
for the touchdown from the !.
The second touchdown came
on a 7-yard pass from Sarette
to his favorite target, Half
back Dick Easterly, in the
fourth PERIOD eliminating a
51-yard march.
Sarette, who out-dazzled
Miami's celebrated Quarter
back, George Mira, with his
passing, also hit Easterly for
a two-point conversion after
the first score. Ken Ericsson
booted the final, clinching ex-
ira point from placement after
the second.
Miami had surprised the
meager crowd of 1912 by
stopping the great Davis and
rushing to an early lead on a
12-yard run in the first period
by Jim Vollenweider and a
6O-yard punt return in the fad
ing seconds of the opening half
by Sophomore Nick Spinelli.
Spinelli took John Snider's
kick and headed toward the
sidelines. He cut sharply
through two Syracuse defend

Tackle Dave Meggyesy and fell
across the goal with John
Mackey trying to push him out
side. ,
Bobby Wilson missed from
placement on Miami'S first ex-'
ira point try. but after Spi-.
nelli's run. Mira shot a pass to
All-America Bill Miller in the
end zone for two points.
EasterIy Most Valuable

times for 140 yards, Sarette
completed Is of his 26 passes
for 148 yards, outdoing Mira
who was able to hit only 7 of
81, for "a yards.
Easterly was voted the games
most valuaEae player. Davis was
voted the outstanding back and
Bob Eggert, Miami right guard,
was named the leading lineman

ing 22-degree temperature.
The nationally televised
spectacle developed into two
different games. 1t was all Mi
ami in the first half and all
Syracuse in the last.
Miami's first touchdown drive
covered SO yards in four plays.
A 29-yard pass from Mira to
Larry Wilson put the ball on
the Syracuse IL, from where
VollenWeider ran it across.
Syracuse made only two
threats in the first half. Start
ing late in the opening period
and carrying over into the sec
ond, the Orange drove "a yards
to the Miami 9. There Davis
fumbled and Miller recovered
for Miami.
Sarette Pass Misses
Later the Orangemen behind
Sarette'S fine passing moved
from their own 40 to the Miami
28. but there with fourth down
and 2 yards to go, Sarette tried
a pass which failed.
Syracuse took the second half
kickoff and, with Davis picking
up yardage in large and steady
chunks and Sarette completing
passes of Is and 16 yards, car
rled to the Miami 4. There Bill
Schoonover fumbled and Larry
Wilson recovered for the Flori-
dams.
Chagrined at this loss of op-
portunity, the New Workers.
stormed back to score the next
time they got the ball, going
AZ yards in six plays.
A 15-yard pass, Sarette to
Easterly, put the ball on the
Miami 16. Schoonover went to
the Z on two smashes and then
Davis smashed 6 yards and the
final l..
The last Syracuse march
covered 81 yards and was aided
by one of the few severe pen
altieS of the day-a 15-yarder
against Miami for roughness.
Sarette passed to Easterly IS
yards to the Miami 30 and then
Davis drove 10 and II yards on
consecutive smasheS to put the
ball within scoring range. Sa-
rette's pass to Easterly in the
end zone and Ericson'S flawleSs
kick completed the scoring.
With time running out, SYRIA
cuse marched to the Miami q
yard line principally on the
running of Davis and Don

rose up to stop the threat.
