Instead of falling on the ball, Swider picked it up, retreated to his end zone and downed it, giving Georgia two points. "We talk about taking a safety in those situations with our kickers, but Swider deserves all the credit," Majors said. "We couldn't have rehearsed that play, and Swider gave us the quickest recovery I've ever seen by a player in that situation. I've never seen a play quite like that." SEC roundup Georgia's other score came with less than 10 minutes remaining as Pitt took a safety.

Larry Swider downed the ball in the end zone after a bad center snap. "I thought the key of the ball game was the safety," Pitt coach John Majors said. Pitt was leading 12-6 and punter Swid- raft it: Associated Press All-America Tony Dorsett, held to 17 yards in the first half, exploded on runs of 27 and 33 yards in the second half to spark Pittsburgh to a 19-9 opening college football victory over Georgia yesterday. Trailing the Southeastern Conference team 7-0 at halftime, Pitt cashed in two fumble recoveries by Bob Jury for field goals of 37 and 27 yards and then began a 71-yard touchdown drive late in the third quarter as a steady rain beg-' falling. Dorsett escaped one tackier in the back-field and raced 27 yards to the Georgia 25 and later grabbed a 10-yard pass from Robert Haygood to set up Pitt's first touchdown.

It came on a one-yard run by Elliott Walker. Dorsett's 36-yard scamper in the final quarter came in an 80-yard drive that ended in the final minute on a three-yard keeper by Haygood. Georgia dominated the opening quarter with three scoring threats, but managed a touchdown only on a 25-yard drive after an interception by Ben Zam-biasi.

on Sept. 27. -1 1 Associated Press With sophomore quarterback Mark Manges passing for 280 yards and completing a school-record four touchdowns, 17th-ranked Maryland launched its football season with a 41-0 victory over Vil-lanova yesterday at College Park, Md. "Mark had a super game," Maryland head coach Jerry Claiborne said. "He passed the ball well and did a good job on the option.

He did everything so well, I can't think of anything else a sophomore could do better in his first start." Maryland's passing total of 350 yards also was a school record. Three other records were equaled: five total TD passes, 29 first downs, and two touchdown receptions by Vince Kinney, a tight end. "I was pleased with the overall effort of the team," Claiborne said. "Everyone got to play. The young players got a chance to grow up, and the experience will help in the next three games." Maryland will play the next three weeks on the road at Tennessee, North Carolina and Kentucky.

Villanova, outscored 150-10 by Maryland in the last four years, was limited to 44 yards rushing and two first downs in the first half, and didn't attempt a pass until the third quarter. In its first season under coach Dick Bedesem, Villanova didn't cross midfield until Kevin Smith recovered a fumble on the Maryland 38 late in the third period. "Maryland obviously has super players," said Bedesem, "and Claiborne has established a great team. Our players were intimidated on the line. We underestimated Maryland's talent and overestimated our own.

Our players gave their full effort although it may not have appeared that way. But I could tell by the look in their eyes." St. Louis Cardinals 13, Minnesota Vikings 6 BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) Defensive backs Ken Reaves and Roger Wehrli led a strong St. Louis defensive effort that powered the Cardinals to a 13-6 victory over Minnesota in a nationally televised National Football League pre-season game last night.

An interception by Reaves late in the second quarter shut off Minnesota's most serious scoring threat of the first half and Wehrli pounced in a fumble midway through the third period to set up the game's only touchdown. Wehrli recovered the fumble of Minnesota's Brent McClanahan at the St. Louis 46 and 11 plays later fullback Jim Otis banged in from the four. Jim Bakken followed with the extra point to give St. Louis a 10-3 lead.

(AP) The NCAA should allow all visiting college athletic teams, not just football teams, to have as many reserve players as home teams, Tennessee athletic director Bob Woodruff said yesterday. "In the publicity generated by the lawsuit involving football," he said, nt has been overlooked that similar inequities were imposed in regard to other sports." If a federal judge's ruling against limiting football travel squads to 48 players stands on appeal, Woodruff said he recommends that the Tennessee athletics committee ask the NCAA voluntarily to suspend similar limits on all visiting squads.

The University of Alabama challenged the NCAA limit of 48-player travel squads for football, while allowing home teams to have 60 players on their benches. Judge Sam Pointer Jr. of U.S. District Court in Birmingham agreed last week it was unfair. He issued a temporary order prohibiting the NCAA from enforcing the rule, adopted in Chicago Aug.

15. "It is obviously unfair in basketball, for example, that the home team can suit up 13 players and the visiting team only 10. While such restrictions were imposed in the name of economy, they have the undesirable effect of providing a competitive imbalance," Woodruff said. Olivet topple St. Joseph's RENSSELAER, Ind.

Mark Jones scored the second touchdown in the fourth quarter, and Frank Mohacsi put the game away on a 24-yard field goal later in the period. Quarterback Jeff Taylor ran for one St.

"Defensive back Charlie Hull showed promise and punter Don Rardin looked good in our first kicking exhibition of the year." Hull, a junior from Cincinnati, apparently had locked up the starting corner-back spot until the final play of the scrimmage. After intercepting a pass in the end zone, he suffered a shoulder injury on the return and will be last for an indefinite period. "Charlie played well but now appears to be out for the opener at least," commented Terry, The Eagles will return to the practice field Monday in preparation for this Sept.

A fumble recovery by Fall set up the score. Quarterback Doug Williams hit on four touchdown passes to lead opportunistic Grambling University to a 27-3 win over Alcorn State in the first college football game played in the Superdome.

Rice schedules dispersal; Keeneland's sale begins Monday Associated Press A 66-yard punt return by Woodie Pet-chel set up a three-yard touchdown burst by Duane Taylor to give sixth-ranked Penn State a 26-25 victory over surprisingly tough Temple last night in the college football opener for both teams. The 14 12-point favorite Nittany Lions trailed 23-18 when Petchel cut in front of a teammate, took the punt on the run, and shook off several tacklers before slipping and falling down at the Temple three yard line. Taylor burst into the end zone on the following play. The Lions added the winning two points on a conversion pass from quarterback John Andress to split end Mickey Shuler. Temple took a 13-12 halftime lead on a 76-yard touchdown run by Bob Harris on the first scrimmage play of the game and field goals of 19 and 40 yards by Bitter-lich.

In the third period, Penn State went ahead for the first time on a one-yard touchdown run by Taylor at the end of an 11-play, 60-yard drive. An acrobatic fourth-down pass completion from Bubba MeGallion to Robert LaVergne set up John Housman's two-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to propel favored University of Houston to a 20-3 victory over Lamar University. Houston was clinging to a 6-3 lead early in the fourth quarter and facing a fourth down at the Lamar 22 when MeGallion completed a 21-yard pass-run play to LaVergne. MeGallion had to slip away from Lamar's Lanston Fall before completing the pass to LaVergne who wiggled to the Lamar two-yard line. Housman, Houston's leading ball carrier with 114 yards, scored on the next play.

The Cougars put the game out of reach on their next series with Housman scoring again on a one-yard plunge with 5:46 left. Houston got off to a sluggish start and managed only a 6-0 halftime lead on McGallion's two-yard run late in the sec From AP and Special Dispatches LEXINGTON, Ky. Ada L.
