8-D THE TENNESSEAN, Sundoy, September 25, 1977 Govs Stun Toppers Whitehead, largely on the basis of his two long scoring runs, was Peay's leading rusher with 159 yards on 19 carries.

Last night's win was only the third time in 23 years that Austin Peay has come out on the winning end against the Hilltop-pers. Peay's last win over Western came in 1969. field goal in each of those games also.

Austin Peay got on the scoreboard first when Whitehead, a 6-0, 220-pounderfrom Tarbo, N.C., ploughed into the middle of the Western line and suddenly found himself all alone: with a clear path to the end zone 60 yards away. Mike Me a dor tacked on the extra point to give the Govs a 7-0 advantage. Western took advantage of a short Austin Peay punt early in the second quarter for a 47-yard Dave Betz field goal which turned out THE GOVS: Picked dead last in the OVC's annual pre-season poll, had served notice earlier that they would be a team to be reckoned with, playing well here in the losing ef-tort to UT-Martin two weeks ago, then winning their first game under new coach Boots Donnelly last week at Mars Hill: Western Kentucky: Picked third in the preseason poll, has yet to win. Prior to last night's defeat the HilltopPers had been beaten by UT-Chattanoo-ga and Akron. Ironically, Western managed only a MTSU 0-3 After 24-21 Loss Field Goal Hands to be the 'Toppers only points of the night.

After a scoreless third quarter Austin Peay turned a Western fumble into a quick touchdown midway in the fourth. Bob Bible recovered the fumble for the Govs on the WestrenelWestern 18 where, two plays later, junior quarterback Randy Christophel passed 23 yards to Steve Bullard for the touchdown. MEADOR ADDED the extra point. Western afailed to capitalize on a blocked field goal attempt and an Austin Peay fumble on the Govs' next two series. Then, with the ball on the APSU 36, Whitehead lowered his head and battered his way into the middle of the Western line.

And just like an instant replay he was suddenly all alone and on his way to a 64-yard touchdown run. Three minutes remained in the game when Meador kicked the Govs 21st point of the night. Austin Peay appeared destined to give the game away at various times. Don Derrick fumbled a punt that gave the Hilltop-pers the ball on the Austin peay 22, and later the Govs shanked punts of 21 and 18 yards that gave Western excellent field position. But the Hilltoppers missed their chances again and again, and the blame or the credit goes to a fired-up Austin Peay defense.

The GoYs defenders allowed Western a total ot just onl37 yards offense. Linebacker Bible, in addition to his fumble recovery, had two quarterback sacks and tackle James Green three sacks.

Peterson Bid LONDON (AP) Ronnie Peterson made a bold but abortive bid to upset the Porsche stranglehold on the World Championship of Makes during practice yesterday for today's six-hour endurance race at Brands Hatch. Porsche has won all six previous rounds of the nine race series. But the Swedish Grand Prix driver seemed intent on ending the run of victories with a less powerful BMW 320 when he momentarily occupied the pole position with a pace setting time of one minute 26.37 Seconds. Unfortunately for Peterson and his West German teammate Hans Stuck, also a Formula I driver; Belgian Jacky Ickx in the works Martini, Porsche had other ideas.

The former Grand Prix turned long distance specialist promptly lapped the circuit in one minute 26.25 seconds which proved too fast for Peterson, who was handicapped by rain and a slippery track as he tried for a further improvement.
