  Florida Has No Trouble to Win From Oglethorpe Gainesville, Nov. 24.-The Univer. sity of Florida scored two touch downs in the first five minutes of play in today’s football game with Oglethorpe University, the final score being 81 to 3. A field goal by Morris from the 21yard line Melted the visitors their only point. Aside from that they never threatened. The game was devoid of spectacular plays, the locals taking things easy under scorching sun. Oglethorpe’s defense stiffened after the first five minutes and until the last few min utes of the second period Florida had to content itself with playing in Oglethorpe’s territory They succeeded in pushing the visitors to their five yard line, however, and when Oglethorpe attempted to kick out Merritt broke through and blocked the kick. Thomas falling on the ball TO a touch down, Newton kicked his third goal after touchdown and it ended the days scoring.
