A bleak and wintry afternoon e acted its toll of shivers and shudde from a freezing gallery of 5,000 spe tators and it took the 'Gators fro the sunshine state almost three p riods to get accustomed to the atmo phere and running at top speed. Until that time it looked as if tl larruping Roosters might send tl Saurians back to the swamps ai bogs of their semi-tropical haunts wi only a deadlock to show for their c forts. The third and fourth quarter however, saw the Floridians unlea< their best attack and while it was little too powerful for the fiercly ba tling Birds to withstand, the Lava iers held tenaciously at critical m ments to keep the score from soarin The score at the half stood 7-7 at while the Gamecocks were pitt< against the Florida shock troops fi most of the first period, it was again the first string 'Gators that the Bin scored their lone touchdown early the second quarter.
