V-Clemson's Tigers, fired up by a field goal that put them behind with less than five minutes left, came from behind on a 60-yard pass play to defeat Virginia Tech's football team 21-16 here today before 8,000 spectators.

Substitute quarterback Charlie Builey threw the pass toward the left sidelines. Halfback Joel Wells caught it on the Tech 45, rolled off a would-be tackier and raced to the goal. The payoff pitch came on the first play after the kickoff following a 25-yard field goal by halfback Barry Frazee that sent Tech ahead 16-14 for the first time. Only seconds earlier, Tech marched 71 yards with quarterback Billy Cranwell passing 10 yards to halfback Bobby Wolfenden for the touchdown that gave the Gobblers their chance to pull up even with Clemson for the second time. How ever, a bad pass from center ruined halfback Dickie Beard's try for the extra point.

Clemson struck first and stormed 59 yards with quarterback Don King knifing 23 yards for the first quarter touchdown. King converted. Tech squared matters on the second period's final play when sophomore halfback Ray England grabbed Cranwell's perfect pitch-out and drove over from the one.

A surprisingly potent passing attack engineered by quarterback Bill Stanton and the brilliant running of halfback Art Davis kept State in the game until the very end. The outcome seriously hurt State's Southeastern Conference championship hopes but kept Auburn in the running for the title and a major bowl bid. It was State's first loss after six straight victories and gave the Maroons a 4-2 SEC record.

Auburn stands 3-1-1 in conference play, good for second place behind Mississippi, which has a 4-1 record. State held leads of 6-0 and 12-7 in the first half, but James' interception of Stanton's pass shortly after halftime gave Auburn a lead the Plainsmen never relinquished. Five plays after James dazzling 61-yard run to the State 13, quarterback Howell Tubbs got Auburn's first touchdown on a one-yard sweep. James got one with his pass interception, then Tubbs hit Jerry Elliott with a 56-yard scoring pass and Childress got the fourth TD on a four-yard smash. End Ron Bennett got State's first touchdown, taking a 31-yard running pass from Davis.

KLINE There's nothing like a warm fall afternoon, just a teasing wind, a flat but unobstrusively tricky golf course like the one lurking out at Barksdale Air Force Base and a desperate, struggling duffer like your truly. The combination just oozes with possible tragedy. Add a threesome of two Air Force officers and an ex-enlisted man (the struggling, Little Duffer) seeking a chance "to show them officers a thing or two" and brother what happened only goes to show there ain't no poetic justice in golf.

Ye old former enlistee knows he swings like the proverbial rusty gate and he owned only a hazy conception of game, took the opening kick-1 off and rambled 58 yards in nine running plays for their lone touchdown. The Engineers, turned back repeatedly in the second and third periods, finally mounted a scoring drive midway the fourth quarter to tie the score.

Quarterback Wade Mitchell directed Tech to its touchdown on a beautiful 55-yard march, sending fullback Dickie Mattison and halfbacks Geor.e Volkert and Paul Rotenberry crashing through the Vol line repeatedly. Mitchell, who completed seven of 15 passes for 60 yards, nailed end Don Ellis with a three-yard scoring toss in the end zone. Mitchell then calmly kicked the extra point for the deadlock. Tennessee came storming back in the last minute of play and Majors hit halfback Bill Anderson with a 56-yard pass to Tech's 11, but the Vols were holding and the threat was nullified.

Tech hrd thiee golden opportunities in the second period. But a tight Tennessee pass defense thwarted its efforts. The Engineers recovered two Vol fumbies and intercepted a pass inside Tennessee's 40. But they had to give up the ball after each break. Majors was the top offensive star of the game with 77 yards rushing and 58 on four pass completions.

Richmond Wins RICHMOND, Nov. 5 Gallant little Davidson's grandiose designs on the Southern Conference football championship collapsed like a punctured balloon here today as Richmond's Spiders, led by quarterback Virtuoso Tommy Theodose, shot down the Wild cats 19-0. The Richmond victory, achieved in the first half when Theodose passed for one touchdown, ran 95 yards for another and set up a third with his deadly passing, handed the conference title to West Virginia, which finished its league season with a 4-0 record. A shivering audience of barely 5,000 turned out to see Davidson suffer its first conference setback in four starts.

The junior signal caller besides kicking a 12-yard field goal for the winning margin called his plays brilliantly, passed for one touchdown, booted two extra points and was superb on defense. In between his exploits Wynes sent fullback Paul Hauser and halfback Dickie Scholtz powering behind an eager Tulsa line on two long drives that fell short of touchdowns. One failed after 83 yards because of a pass interception and the other ended with the field goal. The defeat spilled Houston's Cougars from the Missouri Valley conference championship race, leaving the triumphant Golden Hurricane to contest the title with Detroit and Wichita in the only two league games remaining.
