What the Paladins were doing was playing their best defensive ball game of the season and handing the high-flying Memphis State Tigers a 7-6 loss before 6,036 patrons here Saturday afternoon.

It was a second period pass interception by Tony Carmignani who dashed 55 yards to put the Paladins in the lead and Claude Davis' point after touchdown that proved to be the margin of victory. The Tigers didn't waste much time in crossing the goal line as big fullback Dave Cassmelh blasted over from the two-yard line, also in the second period. But again it was the defense which provided the deciding margin as little Walt Crosby flicked the ball away from the intended receiver on the try for the point after touchdown and the Paladins of Bob King had the scoring of the day wrapped up. FINE PALADIN DEFENSE The Paladin defensive unit did it and it would be too difficult to single out its members because it was a team effort.

Boys like Carroll Hartley, Al Martin, Ken Richey, and Bob Mondo were fir ing in on the big plays. The defensive backfield also played its best game of the season. Carmignani, Jim Sumner and Crosby along with Danny Donovan turned in their best performances as a unit in controlling the Memphis State passing. Furman got most of the breaks in the game but they made many of them. The muddy field which was bare of grass in the center slowed the speedier Tigers but the Paladin forward wall was a big help in slowing them.

The punting of Sumner was terrific and it kept the Tigers in the hole most of the game. Sumner kicked nine times for 370 yards and a 41.1 average. On one play he got off a punt which traveled 70 yards into the MSU end zone but he only got credit for a 50-yarder. He also sacrificed distance on his three "Coffin Corner" kicks and on a third down quick kick. The Tigers racked up 197 yards rushing and 122 passing as Russ Vollmer hit on nine of 17 attempts for 122 yards and Jack Carter had no completions in seven at-temps.

Casinelli was the big ground-gainer of the day with 86 yards (Continued On Page 2, Col 3) ii 2C CIURLOTTESVILLE, VA. (AP) Virginia's Cavaliers overcame their less-than-adequate pass defense and ended their 18-game Atlantic Coast Conference football losing streak by using every break that came their way for a 28-20 upset over South Carolina's Gamecocks.

A crowd of 83,795 saw the game, biggest ever to see the Bucks in action here. Seeking their fourth straight Western Conference conquest, the Buckeyes tore it open with a 17-point fourth period after leading only 12-7 going into the final stanza.

This was a game won on the ground by the Tigers, who made only 12 yards passing on two completions and who rushed for 229 yards.

The Green Wave had sprung halfback Tommy Emerson loose for a 67-yard touchdown scamper in the first minute of the third quarter. And the Tigers led only 7-6 because Calvin West blocked the extra point try by Charlie Connell. The game was that close until Werntz booted 60 yards to the Tu lane 8 and then Sammy Camp had to kick from his 33. LAM RUNS OVER DEFENDER Lam gathered in the ball at the Clemson 32, saw green shirts up ahead and took them as a "go" signal, and go he did. Elmo tour ed down the north sideline with blocks by Don Chuy, Ron Andreo and Rodney Rogers, cut back across field towards the press box side near the Tulane 20 and had to get by Camp.

Lam was not to be stopped and lammed it over the top of Camp, who failed to bring down the speeding Tiger. This touchdown run, longest scoring play of the year for the orange jerseyed team, turned the game decidedly in favor of the Tigs. WTien Lon (Automatic) Armstrong mechanically kicked his 29th straight extra point, the Homecoming crowd breathed easier with a 14-6 lead. Tulane was ready for the obituary notices in a first appearance in "Death Valley" when the Tiger first team toured 44 yards on eight plays for the third and final touchdown early in the fourth period. Quarter- back Joe Anderson ran nine yards for the touchdown on a keeper, going wide to the left and knocking down the southwest corner flag as he scored while being tackled.

Armstrong made it 21-6, of course. The Greenies had a late chance for another TD when fullback Lenny Stein crashed in to block a punt attempt by Werntz from the Gemson 44. It was the first punt try Werntz has had blocked in 82 attempts and the Tiger third unit was playing at the time. Tulane end Bill Roach recovered the loose ball at the Clemscn 11. with 2:16 left to play.

Four pass attempts went incomplete, however, although Roach came close when he caught a third down toss barely out of bounds in the end rone.

The Furman mentor was not disappointed in the offensive per- formance of his team, even though Cadets Take Title In 14-8 Win Over VMI dell Hams booted a 37-yard field goal in the first half that spelled the difference.

Mississippi threatened to take the game away until the final seconds, but could only manage one 67-yard scoring drive. A packed Tiger stadium of 000 roared as the closely-matched rivals met for the 50th time. The upset over the mighty Rebels opened the door for several bowl bids for the Tigers. LSU drew first blood marching 65 yards on a series of power sweeps and counter punches through the Ole Miss line for 5 to 15 yards at a time. The drive stalled on the 15 and Jimmy Field called for a field goal.

The tee was placed on the 22 but a penalty put it back to the 27. Harris' boot sailed high and lofted just past the crossbar for three points. The Mississippi offense gathered steam slowly. One drive by the Johnny Rebs was cut snort of midfield on a fumble and the rugged Tiger defense stalled two other drives. But late in the second quarter the Rebel ground attack besan battering out yardage.

Quarterbacks Doug Elmore and Glynn Griffing guided the Rebels to the Tiger 2, where Griffing flipped a pass to end Wes Sullivan in the end zone with 20 seconds remaining in the first half.

The Cavliers, as expected, ground it out with 186 yards rushing to 140 for the Gamecocks, but Virginia was kept in hot water all day by its leaky aerial defenses. Costen several times overthrew receivers in the clear who would have gone for long yardage.

Emory Thomas recovered a Gamecock fumble on the South Carolina 16 late in the first period and Thomson bolted through the middle to score on the first play to send Virginia into a lead it never lost. Kuhn's punt runback came on the second play of the second pe riod from Virginia's 34 to the Gamceocks 12.
