  ‘FLORIDA’S INVASION OF SYRACUSE FAILS Gators Prove No Match for Vic Hanson’s Squad cad Are Downed Of 1912 Score. SYRACUSE, N. Y, October 17-Vic Hanson’s Syracuse foot ball squad rolled over the University of Florida, 1912, in the East’s outstanding intersectional game today. Syracuse did all its scoring in the first half and thereafter found the Florida defense too tough an obstacle to overcome. Florida’s scores came in the first and last periods. Fishel, fullback, and Moran, left halfback, each scored two touchdowns for Syracuse. The other was made by Frank, right half. Florida’s score came when Fountain took a Syracuse kick and dashed ~ yards down the field. On the next play, Rogers, who played stellar game all the way, broke loose and dashed away for a touchdown.
