East Carolina traveled to North Carolina State Saturday hoping to win a little respect And new Pirate head coach Art Baker says he thinks his team found it with a 33-14 college football victory over the Wolfpack. "It's not hard to get our kids ready to play here," Baker said "When it comes to North Carololna State, this is their chance to gain a little respect We built this football team as a team.

We do it all as a team." Baker said field goals of 46 and 50 yards by Jeff Heath helped spark the offense in the second half. "I though the significant thing in the second and third quarters was the kicking of Jeff Heath," Baker said "He was simply great Then our offense really came around in the third and fourth quarter." East Carolina took control with 2:06 left in the third quarter when N.C. State's Jeff ethers mishandled a Pirate punt and Jeff Turner recovered on the Wolfpack t-yard line. Three plays later, Jones hit Scott Lewis for a 4-yard touchdown as the Pirates took a 27-14 lead "The mistakes in the kicking game, the fumbles and some penalties really hurt us," said N.C. State coach Tom Reed "Four or five plays simply did most of the damage.

Eliminate them and we didnt play all that poorly. It wasnt a disaster." N.C. State kicker Mike Cofer, who hit 24-of-26 extra points and 18-of-23 field goal attempts last season, left the game with a pulled muscle in his right leg in the first half. Reed said he may be lost for the season. The Pirates padded the lead to 33-14 when N.C.

State tried to convert on fourth down at East Carolina's 38- yard line. Junior Erik Kramer's pass was tipped and caught by freshman running back Jerome Staton, but the play lost 7 yards and East Carolina took over at their own 45. Nine plays later, Anthony Simpson ran around the left side for a yard score and the Pirates took their biggest lead with 11:51 left A point conversion attempt failed The victory before a crowd Of 58,300, the largest crowd ever to watch a football game in North Carolina, provided new head coach Art Baker with his Inaugural victory at East Carolina and the Pirates vtifp their fifth victory in the series.

They did a good job of keeping our offense off the field, but our defense stopped them when they needed to." William and Mary coach Jim-mye Laycock said Ron Lawrence's poor punt that set up Wake Forest's winning touchdown was simply executed poorly. "He just hit a bad one, there was no deflection," Laycock said The winning touchdown was a result of coming up short on coverage. "We were looking to put pressure on White and we were just a step behind in our coverage on the last touchdown," Laycock added Wake Forest began its winning drive with 4:27 remaining after a Tribe punt from the end zone traveled only 25 yards. After the Wake Forest score, the Tribe moved to midf leld before quarterback Stan Yagiello fumbled and nose guard Ronnie Grinton recovered for the Demon Deacons.

White, who completed 26 of 31 passes for 270 yards, threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Mike Matella in the third quarter, and Clemons ran in from 18 yards out to give Wake Forest at 23-20 lead Clemons led the Demon Deacon rushing with 132 yards on 18 yf Nittany lions Post 2Ut Straight Win Over Maryland, 20-18 The Anodattd Prm COLLEGE PARK, Md Maryland had control of its own destiny, but the Terps just couldnt break the Penn State Jinx. The lMn-ranked Nittany Uons took the lead on Massimo Manca's 46-yard field goal in the third period, checked three scoring bids by No. 7 Maryland in the final quarter and won 20-18 Saturday. "I didnt feel any jinx out there," Maryland Coach Bobby Ross said after the Terps lost for the 21st consecutive time to the Nittany Lions. But Scott Schankweiler, a senior Maryland co-captain, indicated he may have been feeling effects of a whammy.

"I wasn't sure about anything when we had the ball at the end," Schankweiler said. "The way things have gone in the past, you cant take anything for granted against Penn you saw how it turned out." "We felt things were going out way," Schankweiler said, "but we never felt we were in real control" Coach Joe Paterno of Penn State, who has a 17-0 record against Maryland, said: "I don't have any feeling for why we've won X-number of games in a row. I just know both teams played good football." Paterno said Maryland's comeback from a 17-0 deficit was the story of the game, "not the missed field goals." The Terps overcame a 17-point deficit to go ahead in the 100-degree heat. But they failed to come back for a second time when Ramon Fannies missed two fourth-quarter field goal attempts of S4 and 51 yards and Alvin Blount fumbled away a pass reception on the Penn State 30 with 38 seconds remaining. Penn State quickly turned two pass interceptions into a 10-0 lead and extended its margin to 17-0 early in the second quarter before the Terps rebounded.

Michael Kordich intercepted a Stan Gelbaugh pass on the second play of the game and returned it 32 yards for a 7-0 Penn State lead after just 50 seconds. Another interception by Pete Giftopoulos at the Lions' 11 blunted a Maryland drive and lead to a 28-yard field goal by Manca late in the first quarter. ()n Penn State's next possession, a 50-yard pass from John Shaffer to Michael Timpson launched an 80-yard drive which culminated with a 2-yard scoring pass from Shaffer to tight end Bob Williams and a VI-0 The Associated Prats DURHAM Quarterback Steve Slayden didnt let a sore shoulder that sidelined him for 10 days of practice keep him from bruising the Northwestern defense Saturday night Slayden, who returned to practice Wednesday, tossed two touchdown passes and reserve tailback Stanley Monk rushed for two scores as the Blue Devils whipped Northwestern 40-17 in the college football season-opener for both teams. "I was worried about my timing, but the receivers were there, and after the first few passes I felt in control," Slayden said "I was nervous, but confident I knew who to throw to." Slayden, who developed a sore shoulder in practice, said his "shoulder got stiff, but it's okay." Slayden said the Blue Devils "utilized the whole against Northwestern in amassing 402 yards in total offense. "The key to our success was when the run failed, it was because the linebackers moved up and that opened the passing lanes for us," Slayden said The sophomore quarterback cautioned that the victory had to be put in perspective.

"I'm not too excited about the win because remember last year. We barely beat Indiana (to open the sea- I I "i IV VT I III 1 ''J v. a ACC son) and then didnt win again until late in the season," Slayden said Northwestern cut the Duke lead to 24-17 on John Duvic's SC-yard field goal with 8:43 left In the third quarter, but Duke came back with two touchdowns in a six-minute span to win the first game between the two teams.

After a 15-yard penalty for pass interference on the touchdown, Duke kicker Ken Harper recovered his own on-side kick at the Northwestern 33.

Reserve fullback Eric Sanders scored on a 4-yard run seven plays later to up the lead to 37-17. Harper missed the extra point, ending his streak of 35 straight PATs. Harper added a 27-yard field goal with 7:25 left for the final score. Monk, who led the Blue Devils with 80 yards rushing, scored on runs of 16 and 3 yards in the second quarter as Duke built a 24-14 half time lead Duke scored on four of its five first-half possessions.
