TALLAHASSEE, FL - Florida State University opened its 1949 grid season with a dazzling display of scoring strength here last night as they buried Whiting Field under an avalanche of touchdowns and crushed the service eleven from West Florida under a score of 74-0.
A crowd of around 6,800 fans watched the Seminoles roll relentlessly up and down Centennial field as they scored in every period to set a new modern high-scoring mark for the school. The old record was established in the 33-12 victory over Tampa University in the 1948 season finale.
The victory was the seventh in a row over a two-year span for Coach Don Veller's defending Dixie conference champions who won their last six starts after bowing to Erskine in mid-October.
The service eleven was game to the end, but was enable to cope with the bevy of fast, powerful backs and bulky string of linemen that Veller threw into the horribly one-sided contest.
The Seminoles scored in every period, and from almost every point on the field as they rolled up 393 yards along the ground and added 111 more yards through the airways.
Seven players figured in the 11-touchdown parade, with little Ernie Reddick leading the pack with three TD's. Ralph Chaudron and Buddy Strauss accounted for two tallies apiece, and Ken MacLean, Red Parish, Charlie Johnson and Irwin Hanson picked up singletons.
Hanson added eight points from placement to complete the carnage.
Coach J. P. Kessler's naval base eleven was held to a net gain of 68 yards and four first downs, as the alert Indians halted them in their tracks both on the ground and in the airways.
The Seminoles blocked and tackled in almost mid-season form. Practically every combination of forwards that Veller employed charged hard on both offense and defense.
Little All-American tackle Hugh Adams, center Joe Marcus and end Whitey Urquhart featured the bruising Seminole line play.
Every man in uniform on both squads got in the game.
Red Parish took the opening kickoff on his 10 and raced back to the 43 as the Seminoles opened the 1949 season with a bang. MacLean and Parish got 10 on two tries and a 15-yard penalty moved the Indians to the 34. MacLean slashed to the 18, and Strauss spun to the nine. MacLean cut back inside right end for the score. McClure failed to convert.
After Whiting had punted out on the Seminole 28, FSU went right back on the attack. With Strauss carrying the load, FSU went to the one, and Strauss banged over for the score. Hanson converted and FSU led 13-0.
Whiting got its first opportunity when they pounced on a fumble on the 26, but four passes failed and the threat died.
The Seminoles ripped and tore through Whiting Field in the second period to score five times and set a new scoring record for the three years the grid game has been played at the Seminole school. The old mark of 33 points was set against Tampa last year.
Buddy Strauss started the parade with a 55-yard dash on a quick opener over the middle.
Four plays later Whiting punted and FSU was off again. Chaudron took the boot, faked a reverse to Reddick and galloped 75 yards down the east sideline.
Ernie Reddick bounded into the picture with two quickies. He skirted left end for 15 yards for the first one, then intercepted a pass and ran 20 yards for the second.
Reserve back Charlie Johnson completed the carnage with a 52-yard slant over tackle in the closing seconds of the period. Halfback Irwin Hanson converted after all five scores. Score at halftime, FSU 48, Whiting Field 0.
After being held scoreless until midway in the period, FSU scored twice in the last seven minutes of the quarter. Parish rambled 16 yards on a reverse to run the score to 54-0. Foy's key block paved the way for the TD. Hanson converted again to make it 55-0.
A Peterson to Reddick pass put the Indians on the 15 seconds later, and Chaudron scored from there, weaving his way over the middle. Hanson finally missed.
Peterson passed to Reddick on a scoring play covering 55 yards, and the quarter ended with FSU leading 68-0.
Place kicking specialist Irwin Hanson added a touchdown to his evening's work on the first play of the final period when he bulled through the line for four yards and a touchdown. He missed the extra point and the score stood 74-0. That ended the scoring, though the Seminoles had moved to the 1-yard line when the game ended.

ROBINSON FIELD, CLINTON, MS - The Florida State University Seminoles opened defense of their Dixie conference championship in impressive fashion here tonight, rumbling over Mississippi College's Choctaws 33-12 with a power packed running attack headed by fullback Buddy Strauss.
The big Indians from Tallahassee ripped and tore through the Choc forward wall for 375 yards as they stomped up and down the field, scoring in every quarter.
Strauss, a driving punishing plunger, continually blasted his way through the Mississippians every time it appeared that the Seminoles were beginning to lag.
The hard-running fullback scored only once, but he played a key role in setting up all the other four touchdowns.
Mississippi's efforts to retaliate along the ground were continually smothered by FSU's big, tough line as the Chocs were limited to a net of 44 yards by rushing.
Capt. Hugh Adams, Whitey Urquhart, Bill Dawkins and Ted Hewitt sparked the Indians on the defense.
The Choctaws took to the air often in a desperate attempt to pass their way into the ball game, and they succeeded once in cutting the Seminole margin to 14-12 in the second quarter when Davey Lee hit a hot streak. But the Seminoles managed to stave off each succeeding threat, and won going away.
Strauss had plenty of help from his mates along the ground. The FSU line was opening holes and Strauss, MacLean, Parish and Peterson kept on the move all night.
MacLean, the Seminole scoring and running ace of 1948, gained constantly, but was unable to shake loose. He scored the first touchdown from three yards out.
Dick Peterson turned in the longest run of the game, a 63-yard scoring jaunt off tackle for the final touchdown in the fourth period.
Red Parish scored once on a reverse in the second period. The other FSU tally came in the third period when Strauss connected with Hewitt on a jump pass down the middle.
For Mississippi College, Lee set up one touchdown with his passing, and connected with Fulton for the other.
A slim crowd of 2,000 saw FSU roll up its second win of the season, and Mississippi lose its second game against one victory.
After the two teams had sparred for an opening through the early minutes without success, Capt. Hugh Adams put FSU on the move by intercepting a short pass on the 50 and going to the 45. The Seminoles two big guns, MacLean and Strauss, went right to work. Strauss slammed for 15, MacLean got 10 and then 4. Strauss picked up 11, then came back for 4 to put the ball on the one. From that point MacLean pulled over for the score. Hanson converted and the quarter ended with FSU leading 7-0.
FSU went on the move again early in the quarter, taking over on their 36 and racing 64 yards to score. Parish's running pass to Banakas ate up 35 yards to the 15, the Choctaws were penalized to the 10, and three plays later Strauss crashed over for the second score. Hanson clicked again and it was 14-0.
Davey Lee found the range for Mississippi to put the Chocs back in the game. He tossed two passes to Hughes and Fulton to move inside the 10. A penalty set FSU to the 4, and Howard scored from there on a double reverse. The kick was low and it was 14-6.
Wall intercepted a pass for the Chocs and went to the FSU 35. Lee hit Fulton on the 21, then hit him again for the score. The kick was blocked and it was 14-12.
FSU bounced right back with its third score. The Seminoles took the kickoff to the 25, and rolled 75 yards to score. A 14-yard dash by Parish, MacLean's 21-yard run and a Strauss to Hewitt pass ate up most of the ground. Parish went the final two yards on a reverse, and Hanson was true with his toe again to make it 21-12 at the half.
FSU took over on its 39 early in the period and began another sustained drive. Parish got 18 at one clip, and Strauss added 17 and 13 yard blasts. MacLean got 3 to the 9, and Strauss hit Hewitt with a jump pass down the middle for the score. Hanson's kick was no good and the score was 27-12.
Fumbles and pass interceptions halted the scoring for the remainder of the period, though FSU drove from its 10 to the 31 on one march.
After Dawkins had covered a Choc fumble on his own 15 to halt a threat, the Seminoles began to move toward their final tally. Strauss got 18 and then 2 to charge to the 37. From that point Peterson burst over tackle, cut back nicely and raced 63 yards to score. Hanson's kick was low.
Hewitt stopped one Choc march with an interception, and the game ended with the two teams trading the ball deep in Mississippi territory.

TALLAHASSEE, FL, October 15, 1949 - The Florida State University Seminoles slammed over three quick touchdowns in a concentrated scoring burst early last night and raced on to a 26-7 triumph over Erskine's Flying Fleet before a crowd of 6,800 fans in Centennial Field.
In a short space of 10 plays, beginning late in the first period and running over into the early minutes of the second quarter, the Indians took advantage of every break to score three trip hammer touchdowns that clinched the decision.
Dick Peterson, junior halfback from Chicago, started the flurry when he pounded over right guard from two yards out to climax a 50 yard march.
On the second play after FSU's kickoff, guard Loren Maltby recovered a Fleet fumble on the 37, and two plays later Walter Foy swept right end for 32 yards and a touchdown.
Maltby recovered another fumble on the 29 yard line on the first play following FSU's second touchdown, and the Indians were off and running again.
Two running plays and a pass moved to the 3, and Peterson cracked right tackle for the score.
Hanson tacked on the point after touchdown on the third score to give the Indians a 19 point lead that they protected throughout the game. Red Parish accounted for FSU's final score, running around left end for 14 yards on a reverse. Hanson again converted.
The Fleet's lone score came in the fourth period when John "Duke" Dulumback slithered eight yards to score after his passes had moved his team into paydirt.
The victory was the Seminoles' third in a row this year, and their ninth consecutive triumph in a two year span.
The win evened the count with Erskine. The Fleet was the last club to halt Don Veller's rampaging Indians, turning the trick last October 15 in Due West, SC.
Jerry Morrical, Captain Hugh Adams, Maltby and Joe Marcus paced the big Seminole forward wall.
The game was a wide open affair with FSU rolling up 326 yards from scrimmage and Erskine picking up 215.
Until Dulumback started hitting with his passes in the second half, neither club was able to gain much through the air. The Erskine southpaw was one of the standout players on the field during his limited service.
Feeling between the two teams broke out in the fading minutes of the second half when two players passed punches, and the two teams trading blows.
Every man on Coach Johnny McMillian's traveling squad saw action in the rough and tumble tilt, while injured freshman back Johnny Quinn was the only Seminole on the varsity sqaud who failed to get in the melee.
Erskine took the opening kickoff and drove down to the 20 before they ran out of gas, and the two teams battled scorelessly around midfield until Chaudron intercepted a pass and hauled it to the 50. Parish, Foy and Strauss carried FSU overland to the 13. Foy banged right tackle for the score, but the Indians were offsides and set back to the 18. They moved back to the 2 and Peterson banged right guard for the score. Hanson failed to convert.
The Indians were in gear now and they rolled fast. Maltby recovered a fumble after the kickoff, and Foy swept right end for 32 yards and another score. After a penalty had set the Indians back on their try for the point, a pass failed to connect.
On the first play after the kickoff, Maltby fell on another fumble, and the Indians were headed home again as the quarter ended, 12-0.
Strauss bulled to the 23, then hit Hewitt with a pass to the 9. Parish swept to the 3 and Peterson cracked right tackle for the score. Hanson converted and the score was FSU 19-0.
The two teams traded the ball back and forth fruitlessly as two fumbles and three intercepted passes nullified each threat.
Then, with 20 seconds left to go in the half and FSU on Erskine's 45, a fight broke out between two players. Members of both teams traded punches in the outbreak. Two FSU players and one Erskine man were ejected from the game.
A hideout pass from Peterson to Reddick moved FSU to the 13, and Peterson ran to the 5, but time ran out and the half ended.
Urquhart took the second half kickoff on his 7 and raced back up to the 30 as the Seminoles went into gear again. Parish, Foy and Strauss grounded down to the 14, and from that point Parish swept around left end on a reverse and scored. He was hit on the 2, but dove over into paydirt. Hanson converted and FSU led 26-0.
Erskine picked up two first downs on Dulumback's passes, but had to punt, and the quarter ended with FSU at midfield.
Aided by two 15 yard penalties, FSU drove to the Fleet 20, but their aerial game failed and Erskine took over on its 33 and started a drive of its own that moved to the Seminole 12 before Morrical intercepted a pass.
After FSU punted out to midfield, the Fleet drove to its only score. Dulumback's passes ate up most of the yardage, and the southpaw quarterback slipped off tackle himself for the last eight yards. Bennett converted and the score was FSU 26, Erskine 7. The game ended without further scoring.

SEWANEE, TN - Undefeated Florida State University punched out a fourth period touchdown to defeat the University of the South (Sewanee) 6-0 in a mountain-top football game played in the fog here today.
The victory was the tenth straight for Florida State and was Sewanee's first loss of the year. Both teams are in the vanguard of the nation's non-subsidized football squads.
Early in the fourth period Wyatt (Red) Parish, 175-pound speedster from Bonifay, swept over the soft-footing on a 12-yard touchdown jaunt.
For the most part, the rest of the game was punt and plod, with State getting the best of things statistically.
State racked up 179 yards rushing and six passing for nine first downs. Sewanee managed only 57 yards along the ground and 23 by air for six first downs. Each team averaged 34 yards on 11 kicks by State and 10 by Sewanee.
Sewanee's line, outweighed some 20 pounds to the man, was paced by hard-cracking Nick Willard and Cotton Richardson up front. Prince McDavid made several nice runs.
State threats in the backfield were Walter Foy and Buddy Strauss, along with Parish.
Late in the third period Parish set off the touchdown drive with a 28-yard dash around left end to the Sewanee 43. Foy followed with a sprint to the 30. Parish added five as the quarter ended.
The heavy fog lifted somewhat when State continued the drive with a first down on the 20. Strauss hit the line for eight and then Parish circled the flank for the only touchdown of the game. Hanson's kick was no good.
State drove to the Sewanee four just before the game ended, but lost the ball on a fumble.
Sewanee drove into State territory on several occasions, but didn't have the necessary punch to score.

GATOR BOWL, JACKSONVILLE, FL - Florida State University took a long step forward in defense of its Dixie conference championship and earned a bid to Orlando's Tangerine bowl here this afternoon as they rolled over the Stetson Hatters 33-14 in a decisive show of power staged before an estimated crowd of 7,500.
Coach Don Veller's big, impressive Indian eleven scored twice in the second period and three times in the third quarter to take a commanding 33-0 lead that stood up until the fading minutes of the final quarter when the Hatters struck for two quick scores against the Seminole reserves.
The victory was FSU's fifth of the season, and their 11th straight in an unbeaten-untied string that stretches back to mid-October, 1948.
The Tangerine bowl bid was officially extended to Athletic Director Howard Danford by Larry Satariano, head of the selection committee for the Orlando classic, 10 minutes after the end of the game.
The Seminoles, a two-touchdown favorite when the game got underway, appeared to be in for a rough afternoon when the Hatters almost shook Fulmer Armstrong for a score in the early minutes and had a shade the better of the going until the final minutes of the first quarter.
Ralph Chaudron got the Seminoles started by returning a punt 26 yards to the Hatter 39. FSU scored in eight plays from that point, with big Walter Foy bulling the last two yards through the middle. Irwin Hanson's placekick missed.
Midway in the second frame the Indians scored again. After moving 25 yards to the Hatter 24, Red Parish speared Norman Eubanks with a beautiful pass in the end zone. Hanson converted to make it 13-0 at halftime.
The Hatters changed from white to green jerseys at the half, and developed a case of fumbilitis that put the game out of reach.
Dub Kendrick fell on a bobble on the 22 on the third play of the second half, and FSU scored in three plays with Strauss hitting paydirt on a seven-yard smash through the middle. Hanson again failed to convert.
Eleven plays later Joe Marcus recovered Williams' fumble on the Hatter 10, and FSU scored in two plays, Parish sweeping end on a reverse for the last eight yards.
Hanson converted to make it 26-0.
Three plays later it was 33-0 as Hewitt intercepted a pass on his 48 and ran to the Hatter 23. Bo Manuel got six and Dick Peterson cutback over tackle to travel the last 17. Hanson converted and the score stood 33-0 until late in the fourth quarter when Harry Hinckley hit Walt Jacinski with a 49-yard scoring pass.
The Hatters got their final score just two minutes before the final whistle when Paul Odom, ex-Rollins guard, stole the ball from young Johnny Quinn on the Stetson 48 and lumbered 52 yards to score. Williams converted after both TD's.
Parish, with 67 yards, led the Indian ground attack, followed by Strauss with 63. Armstrong had 59, 41 of which were picked up on that one dash in the first period, was high for Stetson.
FSU's Parish ran the opening kickoff from his 10 to the 26, and the Seminoles moved to a quick first down on their 37 before Manuel had to kick. Broadway ran Manuel's punt back to his own 25, and on the Hatters' first play from scrimmage Armstrong cut outside tackle and raced 40 yards before Reddick knocked him out of bounds. A 15-yard penalty moved Stetson to FSU's 17, but Mancino fumbled on the 33 and Reddick recovered to end the threat. After the teams had battled around midfield, FSU moved into Hatter territory for the first time on Chaudron's 26-yard punt return to the Stetson 39. After two plays failed Parish raced 22 yards to the Hatter 20 on a reverse, and Foy slashed off tackle to the nine as the period ended.
Strauss bulled to the 3. Foy fumbled but recovered on a lucky bounce to the 2. Foy cracked the middle for the score. Hanson's attempted conversion was low and wide. FSU 6, Stetson 0.
After Chaudron had returned Armstrong's punt from his 40 to the Hatter 49, FSU moved to another score. With Strauss banging the middle and Foy raking the tackles, the Seminoles rolled to the 24. After being stalled for three downs the Indians hit paydirt on Parish's beautiful running pass to Eubanks in the end zone. Hanson converted and it was 13-0 with seven minutes to go. The two teams exchanged four punts with little gain. Stetson went to the Seminole 31 before an attempted pass backfired with a 12-yard loss that gave the ball to the Indians near midfield as the half ended.
FSU came out running the second half and scored in two and a half minutes after the kickoff. Maltby set up the score when he slammed into Dunne attempting to pass and prompted a fumble which Kendrick recovered on the Hatter 22. Foy got five at right tackle, and Strauss, on a half-spinner, bulled to the seven. On the next play Strauss blasted through the middle to score standing up. Hanson's kick was wide and it was 19-0. Stetson kept fumbling and FSU kept scoring. This Hatter bobble occurred on the 10 when Williams rammed the middle. Joe Marcus recovered on the 10. Manuel ran right end to the eight, and Parish on a reverse swept left end to score behind key blocks by Urquhart and Morrical. Hanson spilt the uprights and it was 26-0. Stetson took to the air after the kickoff and Hewitt intercepted on his own 48 and raced to the 23. Manuel spun for six and Peterson sliced off tackle and cutback for 17 yards and a score. Hanson converted and it was 33-0. Stetson stayed on the attack most of the remaining time in the period without success.
The teams traded the ball back and forth through the first nine minutes of the final period without a threat as fumbles and a string of penalties marred the play. A fumbled pass from center by Manuel backed the Indians up to their own one, and after a roughing penalty Manuel punted to Broadway who returned to the FSU 49. On the next play Hinckley speared Jacinski with a pass on the sideline and the end raced to score. Williams converted and it was 33-7.
FSU returned the following kickoff to Stetson's 47 with Bringger running to his 30 and then lateraling to Manuel. But on the next play Odom stole the ball from Quinn and lumbered 47 yards to score. Williams again converted and it was 33-14. The game ended three plays later.

SELMA, AL, November 5, 1949 - Florida State University's dreams of a perfect season were rudely interrupted here tonight as a big, tough Livingston Tiger team halted the Seminoles' undeafeated march at 11 straight games by snatching a 13-6 decision.
The defeat was the first the Indians have suffered since mid-October, 1948, and the triumph was the seventh in a row for Coach Vaughn Mancha's Bengals who have not been beaten since they dropped their opening game of the season to Southeastern Louisiana.
The Tigers put together a pair of touchdowns in the second and fourth periods to offset the Seminoles' lone tally in the third period.
The Tigers gained their edge in the battle up front, where the burly Livingston linemen out-charged the FSU forwards, and in the air, where the Seminoles have had trouble all fall. Livingston hit 7 of 13 passes for 102 yards one of them going for a score - and intercepted four Indian tosses.
Quarterback Carl Reddish was the big man in the Tiger triumph. He caught Travis Hicks' 35-yard pass and stepped three yards for the Tigers' second touchdown, saved the tilt on the final play of the game when he nailed Red Parish after the Seminole back had run back 31 yards, and intercepted all of the four passes that the Bengals stole from the Indians.
Jack Jones, who played a great game at end against FSU last year, scored the Tigers first touchdown in the second period when he went seven yards on a pitchout to climax a 47-yard drive.
Trailing 7-0 at the halftime, FSU roared out after intermission to stage its only concentrated drive of the game and rack up its only score.
Walter Foy traveled the last yard over right tackle.
After being delayed for 30 minutes while awaiting the arrival of officials, the game finally got underway with members of the Alabama high school officials association working the game. The two teams traded the ball around midfield without making any headway during the opening minutes, then Livingston went on the move and advanced to the FSU 29 before Reddish was trapped trying to pass and lost nine yards as the Seminoles took over. Livingston maintained the upper hand with Jones and Keeney running through most of the period, before FSU went into enemy territory for the first time, moving to the Livingston 47 where an intercepted pass stopped the drive.
Early in the second quarter the Tigers got rolling from the FSU 47 after a punt, and moved to a score. The running of Jones and Keeney, and a pair of passes from Anderson and Reddish to Pearson put the Tigers on the 7. Jones then took a pitchout from Reddish and went wide around left end to score standing up. Elmore converted and it was 7-0. FSU's offense continued to sputter ineffectively. The Seminoles threatened once when Strauss and Foy ripped off a pair of 10-yarders, but a fumble gave Livingston the ball on the 50.
FSU finally exploded. Urquhart took the second half kickoff from his 6 to the 24. Strauss and Foy got 11 to the 35, and a Parish to Strauss pass for nine yards went to the 45. Foy got 5 and Strauss 6, and Parish spun 10 yards on a reverse to the 33. Strauss banged to the 24, and Livingston was penalized to the nine. Foy crunched to the 6, Strauss blasted to the 1 and Foy went over to score. Hanson's kick was blocked and FSU trailed 7-6. The two teams traded punts and interceptions throughout the period without any further threats.
Reddish intercepted Foy's pass on Livingston's 45 and returned to FSU's 48. Pearson and Hicks got a first down in two tries to the 38. After two running plays failed Hicks passed to Reddish on the three, and the quarterback stepped over for the score. Elmore's kick was low, but FSU was offsides, and he tried again with the same results. The two teams battled harmlessly until the final play of the game when Parish went back to pass, found no one open and ran 31 yards to the Tiger 39 before Reddish nailed him.
Reddish was the last man between Parish and the goal.

TALLAHASSEE, FL, November 12, 1949 - Florida State University crunched its way another game closer to its second successive Dixie Conference championship here yesterday afternoon as the Seminoles mauled Millsaps' undermanned Majors 40-0 before a gala Homecoming crowd of around 7,500 in Centennial Field.
Rebounding with pent-up fury from their unexpected defeat at the hands of Livingston State last week end, Coach Don Veller's big Indian machine rolled relentlessly over the bewildered and outclassed Majors to score its third straight loop victory and sixth triumph of the season against that one lone loss.
The Seminoles, who can clinch the Dixie title against Tampa University in the Cigar City next Friday night, left no doubt as to their superiority. The Garnet and Gold squad scored at least once in every period, and completely dominated every phase of play.
On the attack FSU ground out 271 yards running and added another 132 yards through the airways. On the defense the rugged Indian forwards kept the shackles clamped tight on the Major backs, throwing them for a net loss of 34 yards from scrimmage.
Millsaps, supposedly dangerous in the air, gained only 55 yards passing as the husky FSU forwards rushed the passers off their feet and hurried them on almost every toss.
End Glen Allen, guard Bill Dawkins and tackle Dub Kendrick paced the superb line play for the Seminoles. Capt Johnny Jabour, Major captain and a fine tackle, was a standout for Millsaps.
Fullback Buddy Strauss, leading ground gainer in the conference, Red Parish, the loops leading scorer and junior tailback, and Dick Peterson spearheaded a Seminole offense that was quick to cash in on the breaks that came its way.
Parish added two touchdowns to his league leading total and passed for a third score. One of the red-headed rambler's tallies came on a seven-yard reverse, the other on a 28-yard pitch from Peterson.
Banakas' catch of Parish's 22-yard pass was the game's outstanding single play, a leaping one-handed stab of the high toss in the end zone for the third TD.
Peterson, who moved up to the first string this week, scored once on a two-yard buck, passed 17-yards to Ted Hewitt for another tally, and fumbled away a third score when he bobbled the ball in the end zone. Tackle Dub Kendrick covered Peterson's fumble to rack up the Indian's first tally.
Strauss failed to score but his bull-like rushes accounted for 82-yards - the day's high.
Allen a rangy Clearwater boy who has come to the fore with a rush, tackled Billy Melton in the end zone for a safety, and Irwin Hanson added the other two points on conversions.
Poor punting kept the Majors in a hole for three periods and set up three of the Seminole scores. The Majors, who had one kick blocked, booted 11 times for an anemic 24-yard average.
FSU drove for a touchdown the first time they got their hands on the ball, and they never let up, though Veller threw a total of 48 men into the fray.
The Seminoles initial drive covered 76 yards early in the first period, and was climaxed when Kendrick flopped on Peterson's bobble as the blonde Chicagoan tried to slash over tackle from the five.
The second score came 15 plays later, Parish reversing around left end behind Whitey Urquhart's key block which cleared the way.
Early in the second period Allen nabbed Melton behind the goal for a safety after the Major back had bobbled a low pass while back in punt formation.
Later in the same stanza, Hewitt faked the Majors' defense out and latched on to Peterson's 17-yard toss to complete a 49-yard drive.
A quick one-two midway in the third quarter booted the Seminoles' lead to 34-0. After Loren Maltby had covered a blocked punt on the Major 16, Banakas made his circus catch of Parish's 22-yard pass.
Seven plays later Peterson found Parish all alone on the three and tagged him with a 28-yard heave.
After knocking unsuccessfully at the door through most o the final period, FSU wound up the scoring parade in the closing minutes when Peterson cracked right guard from two-yards out to end a 34-yard march.
Hanson converted after the fourth and fifth TD's.

PHILLIPS FIELD, TAMPA, FL - Florida State University climaxed a meteoric three-year ascension through the ranks of the state college football teams here Friday night by accepting an invitation to play in Tampa's fourth annual Cigar Bowl game the night of Jan 2.
The official bid was extended and accepted shortly after the Seminoles had beaten Tampa University 24-7 to clinch their second successive Dixie Conference championship.
To fully appreciate the terrific task this team from Tallahassee has accomplished, it should be recalled that four all-too-brief years ago Florida State College for Women, was a girls' school whose main athletic interest revolved around the outcome of the "odd-even" games.
Now, in their third season of intercollegiate football, the Seminoles are sitting in the middle of a post-season classic - a goal which has eluded several other state schools whose athletic history dates back near the turn of the current century.
The official invitation to play in Tampa's game, a Shrine crippled children benefit, was extended by J. Rex Farroir, chairman of the Shrine's selection committee and a well-known state's attorney.
Head Coach Don Veller, the man chiefly responsible for the Indians' rocket-like rise in the grid game, accepted the bid. It had been cleared by the school's athletic committee and accepted by a unanimous vote of the players early last week when Tampa sent the Seminoles an "inquiry" of availability.
FSU, the only college team in Florida last year that played above .500 ball, added more gloss to its record with its triumph over under-manned Tampa University. The win was the Seminoles' seventh against one loss this season, their eighth straight triumph without a defeat in the Dixie loop and their 16th victory against two losses in their last two seasons of play.
FSU has one more game remaining on its current slate, a non-conference clash with Troy State's Red Wave in Tallahassee, Nov 26.
Rumors all week had indicated that FSU would get a bid if it beat Tampa in the Spartans' homecoming clash, and there must have been more to the situation than met the eye for the Seminoles were hardly impressive here despite the one-sided margin of their 34-7 triumph.
A shivering crowd of around 4,000 fans - about half the total expected from pre-game ticket sales - saw the Spartans turn in their best game of the season against the heavily favored Indians before going down under the weight of superior manpower and a succession of breaks which the Seminoles quickly cashed in.
FSU concentrated all its scoring in two periods, the second when they scored three times, and the fourth when they added their final two TDs. In between those two flurries Tampa punched across its only score in the third period.
The running of fleet-footed Red Parish and an effective passing game operated by Buddy Strauss and Dick Peterson either scored or set up four of the Indians five touchdowns.
Parish picked up 101 yards in 13 carries, raced 20 yards for one score, 22 yards to the two to set up another, and kept the attack moving with additional jaunts of 14, 36 and 19 yards.
Strauss, stopped on the ground by the Spartans' seven-man line, completed four passes for 131 yards. One of them covered 69 yards to Norman Eubanks for a tally, and a 28-yarder set up another TD thrust on the two.
Peterson's two completions were good for 35 yards. He swept end once for a score.
Gene King got Tampa's TD, but it was Julian Schamberg, Tom Cloonan and Jerry Jackson who carried most of the mail.
Bill Dawkins and Dub Kendrick paced the FSU forward wall. Ted Hewitt and Ralph Chaudron sparked in the Seminole secondary. Chaudron alone stole three Tampa passes, while Hewitt's deadly tackles prevented considerable trouble.
FSU got its first score when the second period was three minutes old. Strauss passed to Eubanks for eight yards, and the big end raced 60 yards to score.
Late in the same period FSU went 85 yards to its second score. Strauss bulled over from the two after passes to Hewitt and Urquhart and Parish's running had eaten up most of the ground.
Parish swept 20 yards to score in the last minute of the half after an interception had given the Seminoles the ball deep in Tampa territory.
Tampa scored midway in the third period after a 33-yard punt return by Cloonan had gotten them on the move. A penalty had robbed them of a TD the last time they had had possession of the ball, but their second drive was not to be denied. King went over from the 1.
Peterson scored for FSU in the fourth period from the 2 after Parish had sprinted 25 yards to the lip of the goal.
Urquhart scored the final TD, grabbing the ball on the nine after Dwight Osha had blocked Howard Aplin's punt on the 19.
Jerry Morrical converted four out of five tries.
The offenses of the two teams were as cool as the 42-degree weather in the first quarter as the two Dixie loop foes felt each other out in a dull, ineffective period. The Spartans made but one first down during the period, but they outplayed the heavily favored Seminoles and held them scoreless. The Seminoles, held to three first downs, made only one serious threat, going to the 38 after Strauss' 26-yard pass to Parish had picked up their lagging attack. Tampa, helpless on the offense until the last two minutes of the period, was on the move as the quarter ended.
Tampa drove 45 yards before Chaudron intercepted a fourth-down pass on his 15 to stop the threat. Backed to the wall, FSU finally showed some of its vaunted scoring strength. Parish reeled off 16 yards to the 32. Strauss passed to Eubanks out in the open flat to the right at the Seminole 40, and the big end outraced the dogged Spartans 60 yards to score. Morrical converted and it was 7-0 with three minutes elapsed. Tampa drove 53 yards to FSU's 15 before their passing game failed, and the Seminoles hit the Spartans on the rebound again. Parish skipped 36 yards to the 50. Peterson passed to Urquhart on the 30. Strauss hit Hewitt on the 21, and Hewitt got away from two men and went all the way to the 2. Tampa braced and limited Strauss to one yard in three plunges, but on fourth down he blasted right guard to score. Morrical's kick was blocked and it was 13-0 with a minute to go in the half. On the first play after the kickoff Allen intercepted Schamberg's pass on Tampa's 20. Parish, on a beautiful reverse, swept left end to score. Morrical converted to make it 20-0 and the half ended one play later.
Tampa drove 78 yards in a sustained march with the kickoff to FSU's 7 only to have their hearts broken. Schamberg slammed inside tackle for an apparent TD from the 7, but the Spartan backfield was in motion nullifying the play and the Seminoles eventually took over on their own 20. Tampa got the ball back, however, and Cloonan's 33-yard punt return to the FSU 24 set up the TD. King plunged over from one yard out. Ferette converted on the second try after FSU had been offsides, and it was 20-7.
After Tampa had picked up three successive first downs at the outset of the period, Reddick stole Jackson's broken wing pass and went 12 yards to the Spartan 36. Hewitt got nine, and Parish went all the way to the 2 before he was tripped. Peterson ran wide around right end for the score. Morrical clicked again and it was 27-7. Tampa couldn't get going after the kickoff and Osha blocked Aplin's punt on the 19. Urquart grabbed the high bounding ball on the nine and stepped over. Morrical was true again and the game ended 34-7.

TALLAHASSEE, FL, November 26, 1949 - The Florida State University Seminoles fired a quick three-touchdown burst at a stunned Troy State team here last night, and rode safely in to a 20-0 victory over the Red Wave before a chilled crowd of around 4,000 fans in Centennial Field.
The truimph ended the Indians regular season schedule, and sends them into their Jan. 2 game with Wofford in Tampa's Shrine Cigar Bowl with a record of eight victories and only one defeat.
FSU did all of its damage in the first two periods of play, then fought off the rejuvenated Alabama eleven throughout the second half.
Coach Don Veller's smartly-drilled, hard-hitting Indians rolled 62 yards to score after the opening kickoff. Late in the first period they came back to drive 59 yards for their second TD, and midway in the second quarter the Seminoles put together a 64-yard march that concluded the scoring.
Great performances by halfback Wyatt "Red" Parish and center Joe Marcus highlighted the victory over the determined Wave.
Parish, the smooth, elusive runner who topped the Dixie conference in scoring, failed to reach paydirt himself, but he played a tremendous role in all three tallies.
Parish passed 37 yards to end Chris Banakas for the first score, set up the second with a 47-yard dash to the eight, and then led the way to the third score.
En route to the last TD Parish ran for 28 and 12 yards and nabbed a 15-yard pass from Strauss. All told Parish gained 122 yards in 16 carries in addition to 52 yards passing and receiving.
Dick Peterson accounted for the last two touchdowns, ramming over from the eight on a very determined run, then slicing off tackle from the three.
While Parish dominated the offensive play, Marcus backboned the defense. Ranging far and wide from his linebacker's post, Marcus played the greatest game of his career here as he led an Indian line that staged five brilliant stands deep in its own territory to hold the Red Wave at bay.
End Glen Allen, Capt Hugh Adams and guard Jerry Morical supported Marcus mightly on the defense.
Troy, weakened by the absence of fullback Chase Riddle, who did not make the trip here, gained only 31 yards running in the first half, before they began to click.
With Ted Franklin and Mack Rooks running hard and fast on a series of pitchout plays, the Wave held the upper hand throughout the entire second half, going to the 8, 6, 28, 11 and 16 in succession of futile thrusts.
Guard Spencer Davis paced the Wave line play.
Fullback Buddy Strauss and Peterson played the supporting roles to Parish on the Indian attack. Peterson clicked for 74 yards in 17 carries while Strauss, the workhorse line plunger, ground out 69 in 21 tries.
Franklin's 92 in 15 attempts were tops for Troy.
A big, charging Indian line which stayed on top of Dewey Renfroe most of the night, kept the Troy passing ace fairly well bottled up except for a hot streak in the third period.
FSU lost the services of Ernie Reddick early in the second quarter when the little Chipley boy suffered a leg injury which was diagnosed at the field as a dislocated hip.
The overcoated crowd had hardly settled in its seats before the Seminoles turned on the heat. Taking the opening kickoff back to their 38, the Indians drove 62 yards staright to a score. The running of Parish and Peterson moved the ball to Troy's 37, and from there Parish speared Banakas with a southpaw pass on the five. Banakas stepped over and it was 6-0 with three minutes gone. Morrical converted and FSU led 7-0. Two plays later FSU threatened again as Chaudron intercepted a pass on his 47 and whirled to Troy's 20. A penalty halted that march, but the Indians came right back and drove 59 yards to paydirt. Parish's 47-yard run to the 8 set up the tally, and Peterson went over in one determined dash from there. Morrical's kick was blocked and it was 13-0 midway in the frame. The two teams battled between the two 35-yard lines with Avinger and Manuel exchanging punts in a duel.
Troy, futile in the first period, went 40 yards to FSU's 36 but bogged down, and the Seminoles took over again. Parish went 26 yards on a beautiful reverse to Troy's 26, then grabbed a 15-yard toss to the 9. A fumble slowed the Indians, but Parish came back to the 3 behind good blocking, and Peterson split right tackle for the score. Morrical converted and it was 20-0. Allen recoverd a Troy bobble on his own 43 to halt the Wave, and FSU started racing the halftime clock. Urquhart's pass to Banakas for 18 yards, and Parish and Peterson's running moved to the 17. A pass to Banakas which was lateraled to Osha carried to the 4 as the half ended.
Whatever brand of halftime harangue Buddy McCollum served up had it effect, for Troy was a different ball club in the third period, dominating the first 12 minutes of the period. Taking over on their 28, Troy drove to FSU's 11 before the great defensive work of Joe Marcus stopped the threat. On the next play Strauss fumbled on the five and Troy recovered, but they ended up on the six after two runs and a pair of passes failed. FSU fumbled a punt on an exchange of kicks, and Troy was on the Seminole 28 as the period ended.
After Kreis barely missed Hatfield's fourth down pass in the end zone, the Seminoles started to roll again. Parish and Strauss sparked a ground attack to the Troy 21 before bogging down. After a punt exchange Troy started driving again on Franklin's 24-yard dash and Norman's 27 yarder to the FSU 11. The Indians braced again, however, and took over on their 11. The ball remained in Seminole territory throughout the remainder of the game, with Troy on the Indians 18 when the gun sounded.

TAMPA, FL - Florida State University's "amateurs," who weren't conceded a ghost of a chance against Wofford's terrific Terriers, pounded the burly South Carolinians into submission and scored a surprising 19-6 upset victory in the fourth annual Shrine Cigar Bowlgame played before around 14,000 fans here yesterday afternoon.
Coach Don Veller's courageous Seminoles, placed squarely behind a six-point eight-ball on the sixth play of the game when the Terriers turned a blocked punt into a quick touchdown, came raging back to take the play away from their heavily favored foes and decisively outplay them in every phase of the game.
The defeat snapped an unbeaten-string of 23 consecutive games for Coach Phil Dickens' beefy Spartanburg, SC club and astounded the experts who had established the Terriers as a solid 14 to 21 favorite.
FSU tied the score midway in the second quarter when Red Parish swept around right end to score after Bill Dawkins 55-yard run with an intercepted pass had set up the dash to paydirt.
The Seminoles snatched the lead on the final play of the second quarter when fullback Buddy Strauss, a one-man gang all afternoon, bulled over from the two. The Indians completed the scoring in the last minute of play when Parish cut back on his pet reverse and scored standing up.
The unstoppable running of Strauss and Parish and Norm Eubanks "miracle" catch of a 38-yard pass which set up the touchdown, were all mighty instruments in the Seminoles amazing triumph, but the aggressive play of the Indians' forward wall was the decisive factor in the upset.
Outweighed 12 pounds per man, and not expected to be able to stand up for four quarters against the burly Terrier forwards, the Seminole linemen completely took the play away from the rough South Carolinians.
In the middle of the line the Seminoles brushed Wofford's guards aside consistently to open holes for Strauss. The blocking on the outside was sharp and put the burden of the defense on the Wofford secondary.
On the defense, FSU was tight and solid from end to end. They shackled Wofford's highly-touted Sammy Sewell throughout the game and kept his high-scoring stand-in: Bobby Starnes, bottled up save for two widely separated spurts.
The noisy South Carolina contingent didn't have to wait long to start whooping it up for the Terriers.
After Sewell's punt backed FSU up to its 11, guard Vernon Quick broke through and blocked Bo Manuel's punt, and then recovered the ball for the score.
Fans were still coming in to their seats when the big six went up on the scoreboard, and it looked like the "predicted" Terrier triumph was already in the making.
Barbare's placement was wide, but nobody from South Carolina cared a whit.
FSU dominated the play throughout the remainder of the first quarter but couldn't break through to score. Then, with their backs to the wall and Wofford on the Garnet and Gold 16, the tide suddenly turned. Dawkins grabbed Starnes' aerial and lumbered to the Terrier 20.
Strauss' pass to Eubanks was eventually deflected to Manuel on the nine. Three running plays gained five yards, and then Parish swung out around left end to score.
Morrical's kick was blocked and it was 6-6.
Late in the first half FSU started racing the clock from its own 14. After grinding up to the Terrier 40, Parish floated a high one down the middle to Eubanks, who made a sensational tumbling catch between two Terriers and fell on the two. Strauss blasted over to score as the half ended. Morrical's kick was good and it was 13-6 at the half.
Wofford, a good second half team all year, was expected to wear the tiring Seminoles down. But Veller's squad didn't know it. They continued to maintain the whip hand though most of the play was confined to punt exchanges.
With nine minutes to go FSU took off from its 25 and started the long drive to its third score. Parish climaxed the drive, cutting back over tackle on a reverse after an awesome display of power running by Strauss had kept the attack in gear.
Strauss, an All-Dixie conference selection and the leading ground gainer in the circuit, turned in the greatest performance of his career, and probably the finest in FSU's three years of grid play. The big Tallahassee boy was a rampaging bull, bucking, churning and stomping for steady gains all day.
He received a terrific ovation when he left the field in the closing minutes.
It was clear and warm as first FSU and then Wofford came out on the field, but there was a threat of the predicted showers in the atmosphere.
Sewell ran Banakas' kickoff from his 14 to the 33, and after two running plays had gained three yards, Sewell quick kicked dead to the Seminole 11. Manuel punted back to the Terriers 46, but there was a double penalty on the play and it was nullified. Manuel tried to kick out again, and Quick blocked the boot and recovered in the end zone for a touchdown. Barbare's placement was wide and Wofford led 6-0 with the game only six plays old.
Parish ran Wofford's kickoff from his five to the 19, and the Seminoles started to roll.

Sewell punted nicely again to the Indians' 17, but FSU stormed back with another march.

Wofford picked up its first first down, but the Seminoles held and Sewell punted to Chaudron on the Indian 21.
Strauss bulled into the middle for eight, and Wofford drew a 15-yard penalty to FSU's 48 when a lineman openly kicked Strauss while he was down.
Wofford, stymied through most of the first quarter, suddenly came to life. Starnes got away around right end and went to FSU's 49 before Osha ran him down from behind. Harrison ripped off 23 yards to the 16, and the Indians were backed to the wall.
Starnes was tackled as he attempted to pass, but desperately threw the ball and Dawkins grabbed it on the 25 and rumbled to the Terriers 20.
Strauss' pass to Eubanks was deflected to Manuel complete on the nine.
Manuel failed to gain, but Strauss rammed to the five where he was stunned on the play and removed. Foy got one at right tackle, then Parish swept around left end and cut in to score. Morrical's kick was blocked and it was 6-6 with six minutes of the period gone.
McClure's kickoff was short to the 43, but the FSU line rose up and pushed the Terriers back to the 31 with Strauss cracking Starnes for a 12-yard loss.
Sewell punted to Chaudron on the 28, who returned to the 38, and FSU ripped off three first downs to the Terrier 24 before Cannon intercepted MacLean's pass to halt the threat and give Wofford possession on their own 36. The Seminole forwards were too tough for the big Terriers again, and Sewell punted to the seven where Chaudron returned to the 14.
With time running out fast, FSU started racing the clock. Strauss slammed for 15 up the middle, almost getting away. Urquhart sped to the 39 on a bootleg play. Urquhart's pass to Eubanks was ruled complete on Wofford's 40 on interference.
Urquhart's pass was incomplete, but Parish on a reverse, threw a high southpaw pass down the middle. Eubanks, going up between two Terrier defenders, made a miracle catch, falling on the two as he pulled the ball in. There was time for just one more play, and Strauss made it good, ramming through the line for the score.
Morrical converted and the Seminoles left the field at halftime with a 13-6 lead.
MacLean returned Wofford's kickoff to the 23. Struass got 14 in two plunges, but the Terriers held, and Manuel kicked out on the 33.
After FSU was offsides on one punt, the Indians roughed the kicker on the second boot and were penalized to their own 47.
Gordon and Eubanks went up for Starnes' pass on the 20, and the Terrier end was awarded the ball in the pileup. Starnes passed again to Fleming for five to the 15. Starnes lost two in two tries, then Urquhart knocked down Starnes' pass in the end zone.

With the Indian forwards operating on Wofford's guards, Strauss kept banging away in the middle alley, and backboned a drive that rolled on to the 10. Strauss, shaken up, got a tremendous hand as he was replaced.
Parish lost two to the 12, but Manuel skipped to the five with only a minute to play.
