By 28-7 JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov, S-W-Chuck Hunsinger dashed and smashed Florida to a 28-7 upset victory over Georgia. . Hunsinger, All-Southeastern Conference back of 1948, just about clinched a repeat with the kind of running that can be de scribed best by results.

Killed Notre Dame Is Hatd Pushed To Whip Spartarfs, 34-21 EAST LANSING, Mich., Nov. 5 (AP) Unbeaten Notre Dame got its stiffest argument of the season, but unleashed the versa tility of quarterback Bob Wil liams for a 34-21 triumph over Michigan State today before 51, 277 upset-hopeful fans.

Michigan State, an inspired but outplayed team today, pushed across two touch downs on desperation passes in the closing minutes to score the most points Notre Dame has yielded in a single afternoon since the 28-27 squeak past Purdue in the 1948 season opener. Williams, a daring performer with 13 of 16 passes completed in a perfect football afternoon, ran 40 yards to one touchdown and passed to two others as the Irish hammered another crisp triumph into their bid for an unsullied season. The rough, tough Spartans played to the hilt, but the Irish had a brilliant all-around attack which could not be denied. Michigan State was an inspired team. But after playing a score less first quarter and failing to tally from the one-yard line, the Spartans just couldn't cope with the knifing sharpness of the Irish attack. Williams was a bold quarter back for Notre Dame today from start to finish. His 19-yard touch down shot to Ernie Zalejski for a touchdown in the second period Georgia Tech Smashes Vols In 30-13 Grinder KNOXVILLE, Tenn., . No. 5 (AP) A hopped -up band of Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets un loosed an amazing display of power and razzle-dazzle today to sting Tennessee, 30 to 13. About 48,000 fans saw the Southeast ern Conference football game. With Sophomore Darrell Craw ford of Kingsport, Tenn., in the Tech driver's seat in place of the injured quarterback Jimmy Sout hard, the Jackets smothered Ten nessee with a thunderous offen sive that rolled for 405 yards and 23 first downs. Tech not only outplayed Ten nessee both offensively and de fensively but took a page from Tennessee's book and turned the Vols' miscues into touchdowns of their own. The Jackets'- first three touchdowns resulted from drives initiated after recovering Tennessee fumbles. Tech broke into the scoring column first with a 19-yard field goal by Bobby North which cul minated a 41 -yard march. . " Crawford sneaked over from the one-yard line for' Tech's first touchdown midway the second period after leading the Jackets in a 55-yard drive. The. march started when halfback Jimmy Jordan recovered Bernie Size more's fumble. This was the first of three straight Tennessee fumbles the Jackets recovered and turned in to touchdowns. The second came in the third stanza, with guard Buck Doyal grabbing Hal Little- i gave the Irish a 7-0 lead and sounded the tempo for the attack. Michigan State rallied to tie the score at 7-7 when Sonny Grandelius plunged one foot for a touchdown in the second per iod, but that only served to goad the Irish on to their telling clean up.

Duke, on the other hand, was unable to gain any appreciable yardage along the ground and it was only the passing of little Glenn Wild that kept the Devils in the ball game. Wild hit for eight out of 12 for a total of 147 yards and his second-quarter pass to Fred Schoonmaker accounted for Duke's only touchdown of the afternoon. It was almost a futile gesture, though, for by the time the Blue ford's bobble on Tennessee's 46. Tech drove to the one and North dived over. Early in the final period, Lau ricella dropped the ball and again Tech grabbed it, this time Dick Harvin pouncing on the oval. The Jackets drove to the one-foot line with North again smashing over.

The Quakers came out of their trance after that, and for most of the final three quarters of the contest roundly outplayed their rivals. - Michels, injured and car ried from the field just before the half, contented himself main ly with kicking in the later stage But he had done enough. The mam showpiece of the Cavaliers, lone remaining unbeat en major team in the Southland, was supposed to be John Papit, its candidate for - All-America fullback honors. As it turned out, Papit was adequate, but Mi chels was somewhat greater. Three of the first five times Virginia got the ball, the Cava hers drove to a score traveling 34.79 and 51 yards, mainly on the wings of long, beautiful passes by Michels onto the finger tips of some talented receivers. Chief conspirator with Michels in befuddling the big Ivy Leagu ers, was Steve Osisek, a flash of a 154-pound halfback from Phoe nixville, Pa. Osisek snared ten passes for an even 100 yards and went over for Virginia's third touchdown early in the second period on a 16 -yard fling from Michels. He also played a tremendous game on defense. 'Cocks Beat Marqueters MILWAUKEE, Nov. 5 (AP) South Carolina's Gamecocks marched 84 yards "in nine plays today to push over a last quarter touchdown and defeat Marquette, 6-3. The loss snapped a four- game Hilltopper home winning streak.

Smith scored, three touchdowns to bring the Aggies from behind. W&M Falls Victim; Choo Choo Sparkles With 75-Yard Run By Billy Carmichael III CARY FIELD, WILLIAMSBURG, Va., Nov.5 The Tar Heels of North Carolina gave the game back to the Indians here this afternoon or at least they did until the final three minutes of the football game xim pruvea noimng more tnan uiey roarea irom arrears to scalp iore some zu.uuu wnoopmg, but It was fitting that Wiluamsburg, est historial restorations, would be North Carolina to the semblance of lar Heels restoration wasn't historical. It was hysterical. With the clock consuming itself in rapid fashion late in the fourth quarter, the Tar Heels found themselves with only one play with which to escape the plague of defeat which had hounded them for the past two wee'ks. The Carolinians used that chance to produce all that the law al lowsa touchdown pass from Billy Hayes to Art Weiner that brought victory to' the thusly-starved Tar Heels and send them on to New York with triumph in their hearts and on their scoreboard. The Tar Heels had moments of greatness during the afternoon and their final drive was definitely ona of them. It was also vindication for Hayes, who a few minutes earlier had fumbled away a Carolina scoring push deep in the lands of the Williams and the Marys. The Virginians had taken over on their own 22 after Hayes' dis possession, but finding little to do with the ball, they had Buddy Lex punt the thing to the Tar Heels. for the visitors and returned it to was on. Dick Bunting, running in place injured early in the fourth quarter, 'drove to the 46 and was then relieved by Hayes who plowed to the W & M 42 for an important first down. After another running had produced three more yards, Hayes hit for the overcast, winging the ball to Weiner who was hanging around down on the Indian 30. That meant another first down, and after everything else had failed on the next two plays, Hayes decided the only thing to do was pass to Weiner again. That he did. Down to the enemy 13 along the sidelines. It was another first down for the Tar Heels. Here everything went dead for the 18 attempting to 'pass, Hayes' failed.

Nov. 5 The gay spirit of Carolina was noticably lacking here today as only a few Tar Heels were on hand to bolster the morale of the "Big Blue Team." A brisk, gray, typically fall morning greeted the faithful few and by 11 o'clock the threatening rain had begun to drizzle. The game, scheduled for pic turesque Cary Field, was an nounced as a sellout and the few standing room seats which went on sale this morning were quickly taken. There was, however, some bartering at the Williamsburg Lodge, headquarters of the Caro lina forces, around noon as the weather persuaded some people from attending the contest. William and Mary students were in good spirits and confi dently predicted a win for the tribe. This was W & M's -big game and the team was definitely "up." ' . A big pep rally, said to be the loudest and most spirited of the year, gave the green and silver clad warriors a final sendoff last night. Fratenrities, sororities and other campus organizations pa raded around this old colonial style town with banners which had as their general theme "beat Carolina." ' Banners hung over the streets and -others adorned -the front of fraternity and sorority houses and dormitories. A large banner de picting the wreck of a Carolina train with engine number 22 hung from two trees high over Duke of Gloucester Street. During the night, however, a band of Tar Heels marauders boldly took down this banner and ones from Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma sor when the visitors from Chapel a bunch of Indian givers, as William and Mary, 20-14, be- kelvmated fans. site of one of the nation's great the scene of the restoration of a major football power.

One supporting wire on the sign was suspended from the window of a room occupied by William and Mary tailback Dickie Lewis. By morning all the banners in town had been confiscated and W&M students were looking around in amazement. A large bus which is used to transport women students around town was found sitting on a side street and a group of Tar Heels wrote "Choo Choo" on the side in adhesive tape. At noon as the team left for the stadium, the lobby of the lodge was crowded with Carolina students, alumni and dignitaries.
