It was Red Parker's appraisal that his team didn't get itself going until the third quarter, partly due to its own machinery, partly due to Furman's doing a pretty good job of swarming them on defense from the start. Furman's Keith Downey stopped Citadel's first deep threat with a diving interception of a Harry Lynch pass at the Furman 16 early in the second quarter. Lynch was not up to par. He has two fractured ribs, a lot of strange padding, and that hampered the Citadel quarterback's style some.

The Citadel's first touchdown started with a Furman pass which Citadel safety Rusty Holt intercepted at the Furman 34 and took to the Furman 30. Lynch made 7, then 6 more, which ballooned as Furman was penalized 8 for roughness to its 8. Lynch went the last five for the score with 7:25 to play in the half. (Continued on Page 5-C) By DAN FOSTER News Sports Editor There is no doubt that Furraan's football players would especially liked to have won Bob King's last coaching appearance in i i Stadium, but football results are not made in Heaven, or even in Hollywood. And there were no storybook heroics for Furman here Saturday.

The Citadel, Furman's chosen arch rival, was favored, and the Cadets won, 19-13. The special circumstances surrounding the game seemed to add not excitement nor zest to it, but a touch of melancholy that actually may have made both teams less efficient than they would have been under other circumstances. The shadow of King's resignation, announced Saturday morning, fell over the whole contest. The game also was rivaled by the spectacular pre-game and halftime Patriot's Day show. There's no way to ignore, on a crisp, clear, November afternoon, the waving of 10,000 United States flags, while the Furman University singers and band played the Stars and Stripes Forever, as thousands of red, white and blue balloons floated over the field.

But once Furman associate athletic director John West's halftime show was over, the realities intercollegiate football set in again. Saturday, at the half, the realities were Citadel 7 Furman 0. Furman answered that. The Paladins slammed in their own first touchdown midway through the third period, and there wasn't a Furman breast in the crowd of 10,400 which didn't house hopes that this might be the day of an upset. But Citadel tailback Don Carson severely dampened those hopes when he broke away for a 58-yard touchdown run in the last half minute of the third quarter.

Six minutes later, the dampening became a drowning as Citadel's gutty quarterback, Harry Lynch, ran across from seven yards out and the Cadets had a 19-7 lead with 9:01 to play. There simply had not been an indication that Furman could muster two touchdowns in the 9 minutes and one second remaining, and that is not reflection on their desire. It was not until game's 60th minute that Furman closed the gap to 13-19. Charles.

LA HHCKS ffS Maryland Rushing Keys Win By GERALD GARRETT News Sports Writer COLLEGE PARK, Md. The University of Maryland Terrapins used three final period touchdowns to pull away from a close game and claim a 31-6 Atlantic Coast Conference win over Clemson here Saturday afternoon before 29,326 chilled fans. The Terrapin squad, now 5-4-1 on the season and 2-2-1 in ACC play, struck the Tigers hard all day, both offensively and defensively, and, despite the close 10-6 score going into the final period of play, had little difficulty in moving the ball offensively.

Overall, the Terps racked up 299 rushing yards and 96 passing yards in the win, as compared to 80 rushing yards and 120 passing yards for the Tigers. The loss for Clemson dropped the Tigers overall record to 3-6 and left their ACC mark at 2-3. Art Seymore led the Maryland offensive unit which averaged over five yards per offensive play by gaining 95 yards on 19 attempts, with 80 of those yards having come in the first half. Terrapin quarterback Bob Avellini connected on nine of 11 aerials and one touchdown in the victory. Tiger VPI held a 21-7 halftime lead and was ahead by the same score after three periods.

But the fourth quarter, which must 1 have rivaled any for the longest in the history of the game of football, saw a total of 37 points go on the board, 24 by the Gobblers.

Wofford wasn't finished for the first half, however. After David Mangum's 30-yard kickoff return to Wofford's 40, Woody unloaded a 60-yard bomb to split end Skip Corn on the first play. The ball was tipped into Corn's hands by the Bulldog defender, and the Terriers had their second score with no time show went up the middle for a three-yard touchdown to wind up an 80-yard, 13 play drive.

TAILBACK DON TESTERMAN GETS ANOTHER GOBBLER TD With Gamecocks' John LeHeup (67) Trailing Haclcett'sTwo Second-Half Special to The News SPARTANBURG Wofford quarterback Eddy Woody came to Snyder Field Saturday night ready to play a football game. When the Marietta, Ga. senior had finished, he had led the Terriers to a 24-7 win over the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs.

Woody, making his first start in 15 games, completed 10 of 19 passes, subbing for the injured Carter Davis. His 10 completions went for 165 yards and two touchdowns. It was more passing yardage than Woody had thrown for all year, as he had gotten 127 yards in previous games. Wofford upped its record to 5-4 with the win and handed Gardner Webb its sixth straight loss. The Bulldogs are 2- 7 on the year with two games to play.

Wofford can give itself a winning season with a win next week against Guilford.

The Blue Hose, eighth this week in the NAIA rankings, tried their best not to let Gault down, but they were simply overpowered in the second half, and plagued by penalties, fumbles and pass interceptions. Waters had his reasons, too. He played his college ball at Presbyterian and professionally with the San Francisco 49ers. He was even on Gault's staff as an assistant from 1965-67.

Mistakes were made by both Special To The News (NEWBERRY Newberry's Indians gave up a second quarter score, but then came back with a third-quarter touchdown to tie highly-favored Samford, 7-7, here Saturday night. The deadlock sends head coach Fred Herren's club into its Thanksgiving finale with Presbyterian on a 6-3-1 record. The host Blue Hose will go in at 6-2-1. Neither team could sustain productive drives, and both tallies came off "a long play." With 5:57 remaining in the first half the Birmingham team broke the ice on a 56-yard pa6s play from Wayland Trammell to wide receiver John Manning. Bill Hawkins kicked the extra point.

Newberry got its scoring impetus from a 66-yard, second half kickoff return by Dusty Triplett, which carried to the Bulldog 27. Don Garrick picked up 16 yards along the way before Mike Taylor dove in from the four. Tommy Williamson's first PAT try was wide, but a Samford penalty gave him a second shot and it was good at the 11:35 mark. Both teams staged near- while Newberry topped the News Sports writer CLINTON Through the years, they have been close as kin. But Saturday afternoon at Johnson Field they each stood on the opposite side roaming the sidelines each with a lump in his throat.
