(AP) -Vanderbilt spotted North Carolina a touchdown and roared back on the passing of Gary Davis to score a 21-7 victory Saturday and hand the Tar Heels their 11th consecutive football loss.

Davis, who was injured in the fourth period and taken from the game, scored one touchdown and passed to end Bob Goodridge for another on a play covering 68 yards. He completed 8 of 15 passes for 121 yards. North Carolina dropped its fourth game under new head coach Bill Dooley. The Tar Wolfpack Defense Is Outstanding HOUSTON (AP) Undefeated North Carolina State shocked Houston's powerhouse with a massive defense Saturday night and capitalized on second-half pass interceptions and a fumble recovery to come from behind and defeat the second-ranked Cougars 16-6. An Astrodome record football crowd of 52,483 was stunned as the Houston team that had averaged 40 points and 489 yards on total offense in three games was limited to a lone touchdown and only two other serious scoring threats.

Mike Hilka started the Wolf-pack upset by intercepting a Houston pass early in the third period and returning 11 yards to midfield. Eleven plays later Bobby Hall rammed over from the two and Gerald Warren's conversion gave State a 7-6 lead. Just three plays later Terry Brookshire covered one of seven ummk.

LOUIS (AP) Nelson Briles, Mike Shannon and Lou Brock combined to lead St. Louis to a 5-2 victory over Boston Saturday in the third game of the World Series, enlivened by a knockdown rhubarb involving Red Sox star Carl Yas-trzemski. The triumph enabled the Cards to take a 2-1 lead in games in the best-of-seven classic. Briles, making his Series debut, pitched seven-hitter. Shannon walloped a two-run homer and Brock scored two runs after collecting a triple and a single.

The dispute was touched off when Vastrzemski was hit on the left calf by Briles' pitch in the first inning. Manager Dick Williams of the Red Sox claimed Briles hit the American League's triple crown winner deliberately. A brief argument at home plate in which Red Schoen-dienst, St. Louis manager, referred to printed remarks in Boston newspapers that Jim Lonborg brushed back Card hitters Thursday, plate umpire Frank Umont of the American League told the managers, "I'll handle the situation." Yaz, whose two homers helped Lonborg win the second game, was held hitless by Briles, who put the Cards into the lead before a record St. Louis crowd of 54,575 at Busch Stadium.

Briles handled Yastrzemski three times with men on base after hitting him in the first inning. In the fourth, Yaz rapped into a double play. The Cards jumped away to an early lead against loser Gary Bell as Briles, a 24-year-old Santa Clara product in his fourth year as a pro, backed up his 14-5 regular season record with a steady performance. Briles finished up the season with nine straight wins after taking Gibson's spot in the starting rotation after the July 15 accident. The handsome dark-haired youngster coddled 111 111 touchdown.
