THE TAMPA TIMES, Saturday, October 26, 1963 KING'S ONSIDES KICK STARTS 14-0 WIN OVER JEFFERSON Turning Point: Kickoff OS mm By BOB MOORE (Times Sports Writer The turning point in a football game can come at various times, but It will never come quicker than last night's King-Jefferson battle the opening kickoff. THE DRAGONS won the toss of the coin and elected to receive, but they never did. Hank Murphy tried an onside kick and the Lions recovered on the Jer-f erson 47 and the Dragons were in the hole before the game was 30 seconds old. "It definitely hurt us," said onto the the ball," continued the Dragon coach. A fumble set up King's second touchdown as Jefferson quarterback Danny Gonzalez fumbled a handoff and King's fine tackle Joel Epperson pounced on it at the Dragon 25.

WITH FULLBACK Allan Thomas doing the bulk of the ball carrying, the Lions marched from the 25 to the six-yard-line in six plays. On third down and six. Murphy took the handoff from Payne and on the run tossed a beautiful pass to end Jimmy Moore for the score. Hinton again added the point-after and the scoring was done for the night. A great goal-line defense and a fumble killed Jefferson'i strongest scoring threat which ended on the Lion two.

The Dragons started a drive from their own 34 and with Salemi and Louis Escuela doing the ball carrying, they marched to the King four-yard-line.

HOWEVER, ON THE next jri sides the running of these two Dragons, pass from Donald Slinker to Paul Fernandez for play, Machado fumbled the handoff and Ray Johnson recovered for the Lions.

This was just one of four fumbles that the Dragons lost in the ball expect to receive." Joe Zalupskl, head King mentor, went a little farther In describing what he felt was the turning point for his ball club as he said "Our initial offensive move was the difference." KING, WITH Its pygmy back-field doing the job, marched the 47 yards in 13 plays with quarterback Stacy Payne skirting left end for the final yard on a fourth down play. Terry Hinton kicked the extra point and the Lions led, 7-0 with 5:49 left in the first period. Now comes the second "turning point" for the Dragons. Murphy attempted another onside kick, but the ball failed to go the necessary 10 yards and Jefferson had the ball on the Lions' 46. After an illegal procedure 16 yards was a big play.

WITH FIRST down and goal game. "We just fumbled the foot on the four, the Lions arose and stopped Jefferson in three shots at the line for a gain of two ball game away. We were moving with the ball every time," said Kirk, "We just had a se yards despite a personal foul penalty against the Lions. vere case of fumblms. That sums it up.

I coach Aplin noted that "those boys have worked hard and tonight tney were looking for the number one ranking." Four thousand five hundred were on hand to see the Knights make their persuasive bid for such consideration. NEXT FRIDAY Robinson maxed a drive by going In from the one. Marty Bray made good the kick as he did on five of the eight extra points. Halfback Phil Schaeffer carried one over. Larry Smith and Fred Branch each scored three times, while other tallies were added by Schaeffer and end George Dean.

Five of the eight TDs were the result of Randy Smith passes. Ironically, early in the game Smith couldn't fire with the cer another Smith toss. Robinson, a likely choice this week for top ranking in the state, utilized an entirely new defensive unit of boys that had played very little after the score reached 14-0 as the first period ended.
