By BEN FUNK MIAMI (® — The’ defensive | elevens took all the bows after Vanderbilt’s 9-0 victory over Mi- ami Friday night in a football game that choked and sputtered like an old jalopy. “Their offense couldn’t go,” In the opening minutes of the contest, when the Bean- pickers showed flashes of brilliance, turning back a bruising Key West attack and picking up consider- able yardage on their own account, it looked like it might be a ball game. _But, with two minutes of the ini- tial period remaining, Lucy Gon- zalez exploded for the first of a! series of spectacular runs for his best in a remarkable series of of- fensive performances to date. Gonzalez was off to be clobbered by a host of Pom- pano tacklers, he pirouetted to the left and snaked some 70 yards for a TD before the stunned defenders could lay a hand on him, Pineda flipped a pass to John Vermette for the extra point. The Conchs caught fire at this point and the half-time showed them in possession of a 26-0 mar- gin, The next Key West marker came in the opening of the sec- ond quarter when the Conchs drove 55 yards to a score on a series of power plays. featuring superb line blocking by Stu Lo- gun, Peter Knight and Tommy West who manhandied @ tough and heavier Pompano forward wall. Pineda, Gonzalez and Dick Sal- gado supplied the punch and it Pineda who ap the elincher with a thr: jaunt for ‘a score. Jolting Joe,did a repeat just three plays later when Pompano had trouble hanging on to the ball ‘and the Key Westers launched a ‘75-yard push climaxed by Pineda’s 23-yard scoring jaunt which appar- ently took the starch out of the visitors. Stu Logun’s place kick for point fell short. The locals manufactured a break for themselves following the kick- off to set the stage for their fourth marker when John Carbonell fell on a Pompano fumble on the kick- off to give the Conchs possession. And they wasted no time in taking advantage of the break when on the very next play Pineda faded back and flipped touchdown pass to John Vermette im the end zone to climax the first half scoring. At the start of the third quar ter, after a series of end runs, Pineda switched his assault to the Beanpicker line and behind beautiful blocking slashed through right tackle for 28 yards and a touchdown. Solomon's drop-kick was short. Pompano then came to life to rack up their lone score after they began to click through the air when Jack Woods connected with a toss to Emil Harding for 29 yards and Bill Heflin did a repeat on the next play when Woods latched on to his toss for 34 yards to put them on the Key West 11-yard line. A series of plays through the line overcame an inspired Conch goal-line stand as Heflin plunged over from the one-yard line. In the final period, the Conchs ‘wound up their scoring when Don SPORTS MIRROR By The Associated Press TODAY A YEAR AGO — Yogi Berra, New York Yankee catcher, was voted most valuable player im the American League.

As it appeared that he was going commented Vanderbilt Coach Bill Edwards, “‘and our offense could- n't go.” That seemed to sum up the game pretty well. The Commodores’ defensive troops scored all the points in the second period. Bob Hines blocked a punt for an automatic safety and Charles Horton scored a touch- down on a 60-yard runback of a punt. Offensively, Vanderbilt accumu- lated 228 yards rushing and pass- ing but five drives bogged down after passing the Miami 30-yard line. The best thrust reached the Miami 12 in the closing seconds | when it didn’t make any difference whether the Commodores scored jor not. Miami’s Coach Andy Gustafson praised his defense for holding | Vanderbilt to nine points. “I was proud of the defensive team,” he said. ‘‘All of the points | were scored against the offensive | eleven, “Our offense was impotent. It was the same old story. We were- n’t blocking. We never move the | ball. Albrecht was the only one who could gain any ground.” Miami's total net gain by ground and air was 85 yards. Quarterback Don'James, trying to- pass with virtually no blocking * protection, was frequently thrown for huge losses. Vanderbilt’s ‘highly publicized freshman quarterback, Bill Kriete- meyer, had a bad night. He threw 16, completed only four for 32 yards and had three intercepted.

On the gaudy side they were rivalled by Sugar Ray, who had seven changes of attire that were Positively dazzling. First he came out in a dinner jacket in the now famous Robinson plaid. Next. he wore a two-tone brown number. His third change was into a tan-cream outfit. Then he did a dance in conventional formal attire, tails and white tie. Then came a change into a dark brown. suit. Next he wore white with a faintest sort of check in it. And finally, for a sentimental flag- waving United Nations finale, he wore just plain blue serge. Even if his jokes were a bit musty, he made up for them with his poise and personal charm. In the dancing line he was even quicker on his feet than in the ring. He adrhitted he was nervous, but he didn’t show it. His friends seem more eager te get him out of the ring than even he is.
