And now I think he's going to be a great asset" Defensively, King named no particular standouts, pending the grading of films early this week, but he did comment on the Paladin pass defense.

"They're going to complete some passes, no matter what we do," he said. "The big thing is to keep them from completing the long one." That the Paladins did very effectively against the Keydets but, more importantly, they held the visitors to only 75 rushing and 74 passing yards while racking up 480 total yards themselves en route to the victory. But cold, hard statistics meant very little to King. What really mattered was that, after a three game dry spell, the scoreboard finally showed the Paladins on top after four complete quarters. And it was obvious this was pleasing as King and his team all exited smiling from Sirrine Stadium.

The Citadel tied the gamejp It'' he added, "then we'll be a pretty good football team. After all, ive never seen a defeat do anything to help a team, while a win has helped a lot of them. This win will be a fine thing for our boys." Offensively, King was im pressed by the performances of Steve Crislip, who racked up 142 yards on 21 carries, and the elusive sprints of running back Donnie Griffin, who before Saturday night bad played mostly cn defense. Griffin carried nine times for 64 yards against the Keydet defense, with his longest single gain coming on. a 14-yard burst.

"He'a bten looking good in scrimmage," commented King, "and he's a good defensive player. He'a very spirited, both defensively and offensively.

However, Wolfrom fumbled on the second and one play and John Hall fell on it for VMI. After running three plays, VMI were forced to punt from their own 32. The Paladins took the punt at their own 31, moved to their 46, then punted to the VMI 17. Again, the Keydets failed to move and were forced to punt from their own 26. On this kick, Furman deep man Donnie Griffin took it on the Paladin 27, darted right, then turned left and sprinted 73 yards down the sidelines for a touchdown.

However, a clip ping penalty nullified the run. Nevertheless, the VMI squad was never quite the same for the rest of the half. After the clipping penalty, the Paladins took over on their own 43 and, as if for revenge, scored on ten plays with quarterback John DeLeo hitting flanker Blake Carlyle with a 14 yard scoring aerial with 18 seconds left in the first period. Al Stan-diford, added the extra point for a 7-0 Paladin advantage. After the kickoff, the two teams exchanged punts before the Paladins finally mounted another sustained drive.

After taking a VMI punt to their own 33, they managed to drive the remaining distance in only seven plays. The touchdown came on a perfectly executed 39-yard pass from DeLeo to end Mon- ferdini. and. when bandiiord ad ded the conversion, the Paladins led 14-0. In the second half, while the Paladin defensive unit remained as tough as before, the offense cooled down somewhat.

(AP) -Third string quarterback Phil Pierce put a 20-yard touchdown pass to Stan Trott at the climax of a 99 yard-drive and gave Tennessee a hard earned 20-u Southeastern Conference football victory over winless but fired- up Florida. With Dennis unaawicK ana Chip Howard injured, Pierce had to carry the whole load for the heavily favored Tennessee Volunteers. He appeared to have them on the way to an easy victory wiib a comfortable 13-0 lead midway in the second quarter.

George Hunt kicked a pair of field goals from 33 and 34 yards and Pierce engineered a 74-yard march climaxed by power Curt Watson's 8 yard run straight up the middle. But the Florida Gators came to life for the first time this season and tied the score at half-time on a pair of touchdowns in the space of 1:26. Quarterback John Reaves re gained the passing touch that earned him SEC records the past two years. He drove Florida 69 yards for one touchdown, hitting Willie Jackson on a 23-yard scoring strike.

Five players scored a touchdown each for LSU, which managed only a field goal in the first period but then began ripping the Owls line and foxing its secondary. Minn.

38, Kan. 20 MINNEAPOLIS, Min. (AP) The Minnesota Gophers, avuig luiivrro ai cf kEMM However, the Furman defense, mounting a tremendous effort, managed to prevent the touchdown. VMI's Mac Bowman carried six consecutive times, gaining five yards each on the first two carries for a first down on the Paladin 14. On the next play, he went for four to the 10, then added one to the nine and four more to the five, where the Keydets faced a fourth and one play.

VMI head coach Bob Thalman decided to try for the touchdown, and Bowman again got the call. But as he plunged over the middle, he was hit hard by a determined Paladin line and forced to fumble up the loose ball at the six to end the threat. From that point, the Paladins chipped away yardage, gaining five first downs while controlling the ball for over five minutes. Finally, with second and three at the Keydet 13, DeLeo passed for Carlyle, but the pass was snagged by VMI's Gene Williams at the six. VMI drove deep into Paladin territory again in the final period when, after taking a Payton Barton punt on their own 27, they pushed to the Furman 24, where they had a third and 10 play.

Paladin defensive halfback Mike Fabian; however, grabbed an errant Vern Beitzel pass in the end zone with 5:58 remaining in the game and the Paladins ran out the clock with a steady ground game. Crislop took rushing honors for the game with 142 yards on 21 carries, while teammate Wolfrom racked up 79 on 13 carries. In the passing department, DeLeo hit on 10 of 19 with one interception for 1J yards and two touchdownC Carlyle snagged six of those completions for 72 yards. For VMI, Bowman managed 41 yards on 19 carries to take top honors. Quarterback Beitzel completed six of 20 for 65 yards.

(Ml Downtown Greenville NEW ORLEANS (AP)-Pow- er running by Dennis Cambal, a 225-pound halfback from New England, ignited a second quar ter uprising and paced William Mary to a 14-3 upset football victory over Tulane Saturday night. Cambal, a 6-2 senior from Waltham, ran 110 yards in 23 attempts in leading the surprising Virginians to their fourth victory of the football season. Cambal took an eight yard pass from quarterback Steve Regan and scored the first Wil liam Mary touchdown on the first play of the second period. Cambal capped a 44 yard drive when he cracked over from the one with 16 seconds remaining in the first half and the two conversions Dy side saddle kicker Mike Dodds pushed the Indians to a 14-0 inter mission advantage. Tulane just couldn't get its offense started against a strong Indian defensive unit but did manage to get on the score board in the third period on Lee Gibson's 22-yard field goal.

With Ricky Gilstrap leading the team from its four to its 37, the Tigers sprang a first down surprise on Tech. Kelley, whose speed it is very bad business to underestimate, got behind Tech's safety man, and Kendrick threw the bomb to him for a 63-yard touchdown play, which Seigler enhanced with a placement. So, with 1:35 left in the third period, it was a 21-14 game, far from settled. A Tech fourth period drive rtailed at the Clemson 24, and Cam Bonifay kicked a 41-yard field goal for a 24-14 lead with 11:52 tc play.

Each team penetrated deeply once more. Tech made it to the Clemson 14, unable to get a first down after it had second and one at the 13. With 2:25 left, Wayne Baker recovered a fumble by McAshan at the Tech 16, but Kendrick got trapped on the first play for a loss of 10, and the Tigers finally turned the ball back to Tech at its own 3. As it had done a couple of other more critical times, the Tech defense met the occasion head on, and was equal to it.

Tech used 11 plays, the longest a 10-yard pass gainer from McAshan to Mike Oven. Greg Home went over from the one, and with the game only -12 minutes and 26 seconds old, Tech had a 14-0 lead. Tech has had such notorious experiences with its kicking game this season that the cynics cheered on the third play of the second period, when the center snap made it back to Tech punter Dick Bowley without incident. 1 Kelley kept their sarcasm jammed in their throats when he returned the punt from his 15 to the Tech 33 a 52-yard return.

Smiley Sanders went 6, then 2, and Kendrick got the help of a penalty to the Tech 11 after he had gained three, so Clemson had first down at the Tech 11. Heide Davis, the former Wade Hampton High star, went 6. Then Sanders went v.ide ojvn Juta t.le end zone. Eodie fnigler ricied the point, so it was Tech by 14-7 with 11:05 left in the half. A punt that may make this year's Tech hall of fame swung the momentum of the closing minutes of the first half back to Tech.

Eowley', not even listed as a punter on the depth chart, blasted one that had gone 53 yards before Kelley captured it on a bounce going toward his own end zone. He got nailed at Cjemson's eight. The return punt four plays later left Tech at Clemson's 39 with 1:54 left. McAshan completed a pass for 17 to Jim Owings, ran once for eight yards to highlight the 39-yard drive, which McAshan climaxed with a two yard touchdown run, with 14 seconds remaining. The score stayed 21-7 for the halftime after Thigpen's placement.

Clemson's hopes surged again the minute of the second half. Bruce Decock intercepted a McAshan pass and turned the oa II over to the Clemson offense at the Tech 36. Kendrick, however, was trapped twice for a combination of 13 lost yards, and that opportunity had perished.

Two plays later, Lancaster fumbled and Gaffney's Perry Pate pounced on the ball at the Bruin 33. Six plays later.

Leuck tossed four yards to Joel Hill to put the Indians on top, 12-3. The key play in that drive was a 22-yard aerial from Leuck to Steve Prevatte. I 224 N. MAIN ST. i I i.
