Nov. 22 (1 The Citadel resorted to straight power football to pound out a 34-14 Southern Conference victory over Davidson here today. A crowd of 3,500 (2,396 paid) at Johnson Hagood Stadium, watching 20 seniors 13 for The Citadel and seven for Davidson playing their final collegiate games also saw tempers explode. The Citadel scored single touchdowns in each of the first three periods and added two in the final quarter. Davidson, crippled by injuries and sickness and with five regulars out of action, got both of its touchdowns against Bulldog reserves in the wild final period.

During all this action Citadel Tackle Paul Petrich and Halfback John Mamajek and Davidson Tackle Wright were ejected by offi cials for unsportsmanlike conduct. The latter two scuffled on the turf just before the end of the game. Davidson, having to use third string quarterback Jimmy Thack-er through most of the game, could not generate an offensive punch until late in the final period and 96 of its 153 yards gained came through the air. Mamajek despite his dispute with. Wright, wound up his career for The Citadel by scoring three touchdowns and converting from placement four times.

Big gainer for The Citadel, however, was senior Halfback Paul Chapman who tore off 108 of the 323 yards The Citadel gained rushing. The Citadel scored the third time got the ball covering 59 yards in 11 plays with Chapman taking 15-yard pass in the end zone from senior Quarterback Buddy Friedlm as he was being tackled Mamajek accounted for 19 yards In the drive. The touchdown was when Friedlin passed to End! aiouiu 1U1 ItJ. XWU UUftVS 10.LC1 Friedlin connected with Chapman. Citadel started driving from the Davidson 47 as the.

The Bulldogs took the kickoff opening the second half and in eight minutes marched 68 yards in 11 plays for their next touchdown, Mamajek plunging over from one yard out after he, Chapman and Friedlin alternated in bringing the ball into scoring position. As the third period closed The Citadel started moving from its own 41 and two minutes after the final period began Mamajek circled his own left end for seven yards and the touchdown. When he converted The Citadel led 27-0.

Within 20 seconds the Bulldogs completed their scoring. On the first play from scrimmage following the kickoff, the Cadets' Ray Allen intercepted a Don Mc-Call pass and raced untouched 25 yards across the goal. Midway through the period Davidson returned a punt to The Citadel's 44. Fullback Henry Brown, converted from quarterback, passed 15 yards to Bob Amos, and Jimmy Thacker completed another pass to Dick Kelley for nine. A penalty against The Citadel put the bait on the two yard line from where Thacker smashed over.

West Virginia Noses South Carolina, 13-6 By DEL BOOTH COLUMBIA. S. Nov. 22. (AP) Freshman Quarterback Freddie Wyant passed and ran West Virginia to a 13-6 Southern Conference football win over South Carolina today.

Wyant opened his show with a 47-yard touchdown pass to Halfback Jack Stone, climaxing an 89-yard drive from the much of the season while inger shone, bounced into the today to lead the Wildcats out of the mud and snow to a 14 to 14 tie with Cotton Bowl- bound Tennessee. The clock was running out on Kentucky, trying for the 20th time to whip a team coacned by Gen. Bob Neyland. Tennessee was ahead two touchdowns. The Kentucky team was weary from slogging through mud laid down by 22 Inches of snow that had all but forced cancellation oi the traditional con flict.

Then Hunt, a six-foot one Inch Junior from Mayfield, who has only 161 pounds on his frame, was called off the bench. So far. his chief claim to fame was that he could hold the ball steady for extra point tries. Hunt snapped a quick pass to Meilinger, who had moved to his old position at left end. He grabbed it on the Tennessee 11.

Then fullback Allen (The Bull) Fekh crashed through the center down to the three yard line. Meilinger sneaked to the one-foot line, where Hunt took over again to hurdle over the piled-up Volunteers for a score. It was the second time in six years Paul Bryant's Wildcats had been able to score against Tennessee. Bob Bassitt, a freshman, rushed in to kick the first of his two extra points that sewed up the The chilled crowd of 35,000 just getting over that when the of ficials ruled that Tennessee had committed a personal foul on the touchdown play and Kentucky kick ed off from the Tennessee 45-yard marker as a result of the penalty. Bassitt kicked off short, then darted down to recover his own 'onside kick on the Tennessee 32 and Kentucky was back In busi- ness.

Felch again came to work, cracking to the 17 yard line in four plays. Two passes by Hunt failed, but on the third Jim Proffitt leaped high in the end zone between two Tennessee defenders to haul in the ball and a precious six points, with a minute and 50 seconds left. He was up against the fence when he caught the ball. the tlemg point with pert8 me uemg point wun a periecl placement. Tennessee lived up to predictions in the first half by capitalizing on Kentucky's mistakes.

The Vols, paced by Ray Byrd, Andy Kozar's stand-in, used a fumble to set up their first score in the first period, then added another in the second on ground power. Tennessee roared on early in the first period when Byrd took the ball on the Vols' first play from scrimmage and sprinted 65 yards to cross the double stripes. The Vols aunched a 75-yard ground attack in the second period that paid off when tailback Pat Shires, who was instrumental in the march, scored over tackle from the Kentucky one-vard line. Kolenik kicked both extra point for Tennessee. It was a heartbreaking contest a aeieai at tne nanas oi Dufee early in the season.

On the other hand Kentucky had lost to Villa-nova. LSU, and Mississippi State and had a tie against Mississippi. until tnis morning it appeared almost certain the eame couldn't be played. Knoxville had a 22-inch snowfall last night and today and many lans were stranded enroute. Part of the Kentucky band didn't get to see the game.

A tarp was spread over the field however and after 30 tons of snow were removed from it, the field was fairly playable but mushy.

Three times, as Alabama built up in a solid 13 to 0 first half lead, the Crimson Tide went into the shift and drew Maryland offsides on key plays.

A crowd of 33,178 went mad at the. final gun as the Alabama team packed Coach Harold (Red) Drew, who before today was in danger of losing his job, off the field on its shoulders. It was Alabama's seventh victory against losses only to Tennessee and Georgia Tech. Maryland, which could't have gone to a bowlMtseli because of Southern Conference rules, sadly served as a stepping stone for two Southeastern Conference teams to bowls. The Maryland string of 22 straight games without a loss was snapped by Mississippi last week and the Rebels were mvitea to tne sugar bowi Senior halfback Bobby Marlow and quarterback Clell Hobson were the Alabama offensive standouts.

A line spearheaded by Bill Oliver at defensive end hawked Maryland so thoroughly that Jack Scarbath had his worst day of the year. Only once, at the start of the third period, did Scarbath show his brilliance as be passed his team to a touchdown to narrow the gap to 13 to 6. Lou Wiedensaul caught a 25-yai'd touchdown pass after Alabama had stopped Maryland on its four-inch line But Alabama drove right back for 64 yards in 10 plays with the 195-pound Marlow carrying the load and scoring from the one.

Clell Hobson called for the shift into the box and drew Maryland offside to make a first down possible. Hobson ran to the 10 and substitute quarterback Bart Starr, a freshman, came in to call for the shift again. This time it drew half the Maryland lie offside and while the befuddled defenders were trying to get organized Bobby Luna completed a short pass to Starr for the first score. Tackle Ed Culpepper grabbed the ill-starred Scarbath's fumble on the Maryland 36 to set up the sec ond touchdown. Hobson ran 16 yards, over sprawled Maryland men.

Tommy Lewis piled down to the eight and Marlow made it a first down to the four. Three plays netted only two yards but here Star' ran into the game a Rain and again shifted his team to the Notre Dame box. It fooled the Teiranins again acid they were penalized to the one with Alabama refusing run the play. Then Lewis scored and Luna kicked the point.

P) Bill Tryon, who had been shoved back into the second-string role in Princeton's single-wing attach made his final college football game a memorable affair today as ne lea Princeton to a 33-0 triumph over Dartmouth.

It was the highest score rolled up by the Tigers against Dartmouth since 1934 and the third highest in the 55-year history of this ancient series and it was all Tryon's Senior Bill got his chance when. Bob Unger, the southpaw passer who had replaced him as a first stringer, was hurt on the opening kickoff. So Tryon scored two of the five touchdowns, passed to Captain Frank McPhee for another and engineered every one by his passing and running. Dartmouth's big defensive line kept Princeton's running attack prety well under control and stopped Homer Smith, the brilliant Tiger fullback, prety well. But it couldn't cope with Tryon's passing.

Unger, who had taken over the starting tailback role from Tryon in mid -season, lugged back the opening kickoff 28 yards, then was helped off the field with a badly bruised left knee. He didn't get back and Tryon took over. The tall, 180 -pound halfback from West Lawn. completed 12 of 19 passes for 207 yards and carried the ball 28 times for a total of 63.

About the only bright spot of the day for Miami was the passing of Don James and Bob Schneiden-bach. It was a Schneidenbach pass to end Frank McDonald from the seven-yard line that gave Miami its first and only score. The Gators got under way early in the first period when quarterback Doug Dickey went over on a sneak from the one-half yard line. In the second quarter halfback J.

(Papa) Hall got his touchdown through a large hole at the 13 yard tine. In the third period, halfback Buford Long went around left end for five yards and a touchdown and in the same quarter fullback Casares made the picture complete with a tally from the two-yard line.

Jim Jarrett's conversion try was wide as had been Stone's after the visitors' first score. West Virginia, displaying the strongest ground gaining game that South Carolina's defense had come up against this season, looked like it was on its way to touchdowns on three other occasions that did not materialize.

West Vir ginia rolled 48 yards to the South Carolina 37 'but again lost the ball on downs. Passes by Wyant to Back Dan Williams for 14 and to Bischoff for 15 were the backbone of this move.

Late in the game West Virginia worked the ball for 38 yards down to the South Carolina 12. A 16-yard end around by- Bischoff was the principal gain. South Carolina's defensive back Gayle Kerr intercepted a pass at the goal to stop the threat. West Virginia's "pass defenses was South Carolina's undoing. On one play, Bennett, the No.

Kerr knocked Wyant's long pass to Stone away from the receiver. The ball arched up in the air from Kerr's hand. Stone twisted and grabbed the broken up pass before it hit the ground, then ran the final 25 yards to score untouched: West Virginia Back Dan Williams fumbled on his 32 midway in the first period and Linebacker Bill Wohrman fell on the ball to set South Carolina on its scoring way.
