SMITH II! ORANGE BOWL — Miami (Special) — Willie (Galloping Gal) Galimore — Florida A and M Uni- versity’s great left halfback — gal- loped for 295-yards from scrim- mage to set a new Orange Bowl record as he led the Rattlers to a stunning 67 - 19 Orange Blossom Classic victory over the Maryland State College Hawks here Dec. 4 before 41,179 fans — 130 short of last year’s record attendance. The St. Augustine junior broke what had been a close ball game wide open in the opening minutes cf the third period when he gallop- ed 32-yards, running over three would-be tacklers in the process; to put the Rattlers ahead 26 - 12. “Galloping Gal’ continued to gal- lop during the second half as he tallied four additional TD's — two that came on spectacular gallops of 83 and 73 - yards were nullified when a Rattler player was detect- ed illegally using his hands. How- ever, he picked up 12 more points on a 14 + yard dash and a one- yard plunge, The game proved, beside the ob- vious, that pro-type football can be played by collegians. Both clubs went for-the long touchdowns and did everything imaginable to ‘the T formation. They split it, winged it, and spread it. Other pro - char- acteristics included running to sa- fety out of bounds when about to be clobbered. At the end, though, there was only one pro - calibre team left. Maryland State, which had play- ed seven games and lost none be- fore this, was in there as long as humanly possible. But the Hawks didn’t have any birds back in the sideline nest to take over now and then against a Florida A and M outfit that never even considered losing this one. z Until the Rattlers’ manpower took its toll the invaders were be- hind only 7 - 6 at the close of the first quarter and 20-12 on the strength of a last minute A and M score at haltime. Standouts were as plentiful as members of the A and M band, al- though one was likly to disre- member some of Maryland State’s in the light of the Rattlers’ last half leap. The Hawks had a quarterback, name of George Bell, who can throw-a longer and faster, pass | than anyone could logically believe. The main trouble lies in locating a’ mant fast. enough to catch them. Making a goud try was Ed Gosa, the combo realizing one of the Hawks's TD's. The only way to get all these touchdowns in, however, is to do it briefly and in order, so here goes: No. 1 came in the opening three minutes when the Hawks’ John Semple, after an exchange of fum- bles, burst through the left side and was halfway through his 81- yard trip before many of the fans saw him. A and M, gained 652 yards —| 575 on the ground, matched this | one when Adolphus Frazier, one of many dandies in Coach Jake Gai-| ther’s stable, intercepted a Hawk pass at the 25, then flitted around SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH 1007 THOMAS STREET O.

He also added the point, but we will forego all that henceforth un- til the TD’s are accounted for. Maryland State was right back, the payoff coming on a fourth and 16 with Bell hitting Gosa in the cor- ner. A Bell pitchout popped straight up in the air somehow a little la- ter and Sal Gaitor was on hand to claim it for A and M at the Hawk 19. Frazier and Galimore went to the four in a try apiece before Fraizer went the last four. . That left it 14 - 12, A and M leading, and there was little indi- cation to the Rattlers were going to walk off with this one. In fact, that 20 - 12 halftime edge came about only as the Rattlers’ quarterback passer, faker and all- around handyman, Elvin Dean, hit end William Barber in the end zone with less than half a minute tu go. If Maryland State cooled down during the lengthy halftime show, it is obvious that A and M didn’t. The Rattler marched just as neat- ly as the aforementioned band after taking the kickoff, going 75 yards in nine plays with Galimore’s 28-yard clinching run a thing of| beauty. Three separate Hawks had | clear shots at him but grappled and came up with nothing. That was the turning point, but Maryland State didn’t know it, es- pecially after right half Stan Jones had plucked an A and M pass out| of the flats and rocked the. Rat-; tlers with a 29-yard jaunt that! made it 26 - 19, A and M still ahead. First indication that the fat was in the fire came with a little over four minutes remaining in the third period. Gaitor, heading to the right, cut in and slipped up the sidelines, faking one defender off his feet and winding up 60 yards away in| the end zone with two blockers left | over, | And Dennis Jefferson came back | less than two minutes later to in- | tercept a Bell pass and travel 75) more yards and a score. That was all of the third period and it was 40-19. The first, of Galimore’s Jong but pointless runs gave about every- body on the State team tackling | practice, but they all flunked the | test. After the nullifying penalty, Galimore still managed the score, going 14 yards two plays later. Thereafter, it was Carl Jefférson through the middle for 25 for one score, then 29 yards on a pitchout for sother. Galimore came back in to score from a yard out with 3:15 remaining to wind it up. , If, as sometimes suspected as many came to see the band’ as the | game, they couldn’t have been dis- | appointed. Both in the pre-game, | and the halftime shows, the Rat-! tlers’ fast - stepping musicians | made everybody forget the weather | There were the usual ceremonies, but thy were handled with pleas- ing dispatch, and the college pre- sidents were suitably brief. i Dr. George W. Gore, Jr., the| A and M president, remained his co-educator that A and M_ was known as the Rattlers, and that! while he didn’t mean to be inhos-| pitable, he felt he should warn that the Rattlers would “keep strik- | ing in the second half.” | But Dr. John Williams of Mary- | }land State may have topped him | with the reply that “any old snake | can rattle at the mouth when he’s | out in front.” At least everybody laughed. But it wasn't the last laugh. sooner THE VIRGINIA CLUB Prop.
