One Of the first things he did was corral Tensi and swift Fred Biletnikoff, both juniors. And from LSU he brought the three platoon system. Both proved good moves. The towering, 6-foot-5 Tensi over Swallowed Miami’s All-America George Mira and Peterson proved that the three-platoon system can be worked effective ly in spite Of the new subStituton rules. Bad Night for Mira Tensi passed for two first half touchdowns, each to Billet nikoff, covering % and II yards. And Biletnikoff, q TANKER back who last year played end. picked off one Of Mira’s passes and returned it 90 yards for an other touchdown. Mira, meanwhile, had one Of his poorer shows, being constantly harrassed by the determined FSU team that has to face such opponents as Texas Christian, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, North Carolina State and Auburn. At New Orleans, the highly considered Longhorns could manage only q 80 halftime margin, but finally wore down outmanned Tulane, which lost its 18th straight.
