TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Oct. 21
(AP)—Florida A&M scored almost
at will Saturday as it downed
Bethune-Cookman College of Day
tona Beach, 76-0 in a football game
highlighted by Halfback Robert
Hayes’ 81-yard touchdown run.
Hayes zipped down the sideline
in his second period dash, outrun
ning both his opponents and his
own interference.
Coach Jake Gaither kept most of
his first-string halfbacks on the
bench for about half the game. All
the Rattlers’ touchdowns were
scored by different ball carriers,
and only two of the 11 came on
passes.
Late in the game, Bethune-Cook
man pushed to the Rattlers 16-yard
line in its deepest penetration, but
lost the ball on downs. On two
other occasions, the Wildcats man
aged to get inside A & M’s 30-yard
line.
The victory was the 44th straight
SIAC victory for the Rattlers.
Their last defeat in conference
play came in 1952 when Bethune-
Cookman pulled the upset.
About the only stops the Wild
cats could pull out was on Rattler
extra points. The giant scoring to
tal upped A & M’s scoring average
for the season to 58.2, tops in the
nation. Their defensive yield also
lowered their national output.

October 21—Kentucky State rose
from a 6-3 deficit at Herndon

verines 39-14, in their annual
homecoming classic.

highlighted the game, received a

terback Robert Thornton. This
play figured in a 61-yard touch
down play for the Thoroughbreds.
Solomon Brannon ran 30 yards
for a Morris Brown score in the
first quarter. Later Stephen Bailey
kicked a 28-yard field goal for
Kentucky State. From that point

Morris Brown
Upset By N.C.C.
By WILLIE JOHNSON
In Morris Brown’s only night
game of the 1961 season, the Wol
verines were defeated in a series
of surprise events which left on-
looking football fans verbally
stunned.
The North Carolina College
Eagles started their scoring debut
early in the first quarter of the
game gaining a lead of seven
points. The Wolverines, however,
proved almost immediately that
they were in the game when Leon
ard Anderson put the team in
scoring position on the N.C.C. five
yard line.
Samuel Hill, Morris Brown’s
sophomore quarterback, completed
a pass to Eugene Robinson, right
end, for a touchdown and “Bull”
Thomas carried the ball in for the
two extra points giving the Wol
verines a one point lead.
The Wolverines dominated the
first half of the game with a
touchdown by Anderson, a seventy-
two yard punt return by halfback
Solomon Brannon, another touch
down pass to Robinson by Hill and
an extra point kicked by Brannon.
The half-time was centered
around The Freedom Rides, with
the Morris Brown College March
ing Band performing.
The second half of the game was
dominated by the North Carolina
College Eagles as they scored four
touchdowns in spite of the at
tempts made by the Wolverines to
stop them.

Rattlers Maul
Morris Brown
In 56-0 Romp
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Oct. 14—
Florida A & M’s high-powered
offense machine continued to roll
here Saturday as the Rattlers
mauled Morris Brown of Atlanta,
56-0, before a homecoming crowd
of 10,000.
For Jake Gaither’s mighty Rat
tlers it was their 43rd straight
conference (SIAC) victory, and
their 10th straight over Morris
Brown.
Paced by the passing talent of
Miami’s Emory Collier (Mays
High) and the running of Robert
Paremore, FAMU added to their
scoring average for the season
with a 52.3 per game.
Prior to this game Florida A&M
was ranked number one nationally
in the NCAA standings with a 50.5
average per game.
The Wolverines, who upset Tenn.
State earlier in the season, were
never in contention. Only in the
last four minutes did Morris
Brown make its deepest penetra
tion down to A&M’s 20 yard line.
Longest run was Eugene White’s
70 yard punt return down the side
lines. The Miami back (Booker T)
was aided with a key block by
veteran center Curtis Miranda.
Another Miamian who shared in
the scoring spree was Jim Tullis,
a former Northwestern High back.
Tullis ran for a touchdown and for
extra points.
Collier passed for two TD’s and
an extra point, while Paremore ran
for two touchdowns.

ticipate in the Georgia Invita
tional Tournament starting De

ent in veterans like Randolph
Flagg, Charles Geer, Lynn Ross,
James Wright, Wilbert Smith, Eu
