...game itself was listless and, because of the numerous purposely imposed penalties, dragged out to undue length. Florida had the advantage over its Northern rival threatening to score several times but it was always repulsed. The only score of the game came in the second quarter on a freak play. After a long exchange of punts, in which A. W. Huguley '31, kicking for Florida, had a decided edge on M. J. Finlayson '32, the Michigan booter, the ball was deep in Michigan territory.
