TALLAHASSEE — All-American | left halfback Willie (Galloping Gal) Galimore of St. Augustine, reeled off touchdown gallops of 67, 21 and four yards last Satur- day afternoon, to spark the Flor- ida A and M University Rattlers to a 68-13 win over the Allen Uni- versity Yellowjackets in Bragg Stadium to run the local gridders’ ’54 record to. seven consecutive wins against no setbacks. The win set the stage for the Rattlers showdown meeting with the powerful unbeaten and untied Southern University Jaguar Cats this Saturday evening in Baton Rouge. Galimore broke the game wide | open on the first play from scrim- mage when, after taking a hand off from quarterback Elvin (Dizzy) ‘Dean, of ‘Miami, he hit | through the Allen line, faked a would-be tackler out of position, ran over two, and picked up his interference. at the 45, and dashed the remaining distance to score standing up. Dean sneaked over to put the Rattlers ahead 7-0, The Rattlers continued their sup- Temacy in the first quarter as they built up a 13-0 lead with fullback Jesse Heard of Jackson Gap, Ala., sprinting 25-yards through the Al- len team to score. Second string quarterback Dennis Jefferson of Tallahassee, who flipped what | Proved to be the winning touch- down’ against A and T last Satur- day, turned in,a fine job of signal- | calling in the 60 yard TD drive. Joe Lee’s attempt to kick the point after touchdown was no good. Lee’s hometown is Albion, Michigan. Dean passed 17-yards midway to fourth quarter reserve left half James Jones of Sherman, Texas, to put the Rattlers ahead 19 - 0. Al{ Miller of Copaque, N. Y., kicked the extra point. As the scoreboard clock moved closer to the end“of the quarter Rattler mentor A. S. (Jake) Gai- ther made literally wholesale sub- stitutions. The Yellowjackets took advantage of the move and quick- ly scored two touchdowns and one extra point to trail by only one Cornish Memorial “A.M.E. ZION CHURCH Whitehead and Angela Sts.

The Columbia eleven took to the air to tally on two sensational TD passes. with quarterback Ernest Jones of Greenvilie, S. C., passing 37 yards to end Ben Wilkins of Bradenton, S. C., for the first, and in the dying moments of the half, duplicated his’ previous feat, by passing 37 yards to halfback Wil- son Bickley of Lexington, S. C., who made a great catch on the dead run in the A and M end zone for the second touchdown. Wilkins converted on his first attempt af- ter the initial score but failed on} the second. Whatever ideas the Yellowjac- kets may have had of pulling an upset went right out of Bragg Sta- dium shortly after the second half began when Al Frazier of Jack- sonville, took Wilkins’ punt on the A and M 40, faked to his right, then headed for the left sidelines, and went the distance behind de- vestating downfield blocking led by guard Art McCoy of Phoenix City, Alabama, and tackle ‘Wild Bill’ McClung of Philadelphia, © * who threw the key blocks on the Allen 35. Dean’s conversion attempt was wide. Allen’s dream of victory took a further setback a short time later when “Galloping Gal’ raced 21- yards for his second touchdown which put the Rattlers ahead 32- 13. Frazier added the extra point. Galimore ended his scoring activi- ties for the day near the end of the third period with a four-yard smash through the middle of the ‘Allen line. Again Frazier convert- ed. Sophomore reserve left half Ron- ald Gant of Albion, Mjchigan, con- tinued the TD parade in the open- ing minutes of the fourth period with a 12-yard dash into the end zone. The score came following a 57 yard dash for a touchdown by Heard which was nullified when a Rattler player was detected clip- ping on the Allen 30; The ball was placed on the Yellowjackets’ 45 and fullback Tom Marshall of Mia- mi. who replaced: heard, on two carries moved the oval to the 12 te set the stage for Gant’s TD dash Miller converted. : Marshall got into the scoring act with two quick touchdown gallops as the game moved nearer its end. His first score came on a 17 yard Tun and the second on a 30 yard gallop. Miller converted for one extra point and reserve quarter- back Johnny Beaton of Jackson- ville for the second. With the scoreboard clock tick- ing the final second away and the sun fading into the west, Beaton passed 37 yards to end Bill Ba ber of Miami to conclude the Rat- tlers’ greatest scoring effort of the Season. Beaton converted. Tackle Callivan Gladden, Cincin- atti, guard Arnold Sullivan, Tampa, and end Zeke Burroughs, Miami, and Maurice Graham, Wilmington, N. C., and center Bill Boynton, Oca- la, turned in stellar offensive and defensive performances for the Rattler forward, which to date, has yet to yield a touchdown through it.

This is true to a far greater degree to- day than it was in Biblical times. The printed and bound volumes which we know today is the result of centuries of development in many arts. Reading provides a full educa- tion. Through reading one obtains knowledge of history both past and present, There are several awards given to writers of outstanding books to encourage research in inter- esting fields. Among these are the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes. The Pulitzer Prize is a result of $1,000,000 set aside by Joseph Pulit- zer in 1903 for the endowment of a School of Journalism in Col- umbia University, New York City, and stipulated that it should not be opened until after his death. In his will he gave a like sum to the School of Joudnalism, and $250,000 to endow a Pulitzer Schol- arship Fund, Among the prizes awarded is one for the best book of the year by an American author. . Among the winners of this a- ward was Ernest Hemingway, a} distinguished author, known to all Key Westers, as he lived here more than 10 years. This year, Mr. Hemingway re- ceived the Nobel Prize for his “Old Man and the Sea.” This prize is awarded for Promoting peace. We are observing National Book Week now and our thoughts should be turned to directing people to Teading good books.
