Otherwise, it wasn't the best of nights for Grantz. Jeff hit only 13 of 37 pass tries for 185 yards but, oh, those thefts. One on a try for a two-point conversion that was stabbed instead by Tiger Ron Barber.

Lyons, meanwhile, was 7-for-13 and 143 yards for LSU. And Robiskie was busy lugging leather 26 times for 109 yards. South Carolina also had a heavy duty workhorse in fullback Kevin Long, who carried 17 times for 128. With a crowd of 61,445 in attendances, LSU went out and won its sixth straight game against South Carolina in Tiger Stadium, dating back to 1930. Over-all, LSU is 9-1 against USC.

The Tigers, who meet Ole Miss in their annual blood-letting this week at Lyons; USC turned it over three times on the pair of interceptions by Jackson and the timely fumble recovery by Sibley. Robert Dew, a lot of dart and dash on kickoff returns, set the wheels turning on the opening kickoff when he scooped up the bouncing ball at his own 4, and shot 53 yards down the right sideline to SC's 43 before being shoved out of bounds by kicker Young. That set up with the game just two minutes deep the first field goal miss by Conway, a short boot from SC's 38. But LSU was still close after Grantz shanked a 13-yard punt out to his own 40, only this time Robiskie muffed a pitchout going right and it was gobbled up by Gamecock cor-nerback Henry Laws. On LSU's next possession, Robiskie (Continued on Page 4-D) Jackson, had a prime defender ready in middle linebacker Blake Whitlatch, a Baton Rouge sophomore who was in an 19 tackles 11 of them sole stops of Gamecocks.

End Russ Manzari had 10 stops for SC. "I felt we played our best over-all game of the season on defense," said Carlen. "But I would rather credit LSU's ability than our inability on the outcome. LSU is a much better team right now than they were three weeks ago." McClendon, who went with Lyons most of the distance, said that alternate quarterback Bobby Moreau had pulled a leg muscle Thursday. Before the Tigers worked around to lighting the scoreboard late in the first half, it was giveaway night in the massive saucer of Tiger Stadium.

LSU coughed over the football twice on lost fumbles by Robiskie and By Bill Mclntyre Times Sports Editor BATON ROUGE With junior tailback Terry Robiskie crashing through the 100-yard rushing barrier for the first time as a Tiger including a couple of third period touchdowns and a relentless defense putting strong second half pressure on Gamecock quarterback Jeff Grantz, Louisiana State pulled off a mild football surprise here Saturday night with a 24-6 pasting of highly-regarded South Carolina. The Gamecocks of Coach Jim Carlen had come to town with a tidy 5-1 record to throw against the untidy 2-4 record lugged along by the sophomore-loaded troops of Charlie McClendon. They were even talking about a possible bowl invitation around Columbia, S.C. What helped kill off the banty the third period, a 49-yard bomb from Lyons to split end Mike Quintela set up a 1-yard scoring burst from Robiskie, and just seconds later Knight's recovery of a fumbled kickoff runback brought off a 2-yard scoring plunge by Terry. Cook's recovery set up a 36-yard field goal, with 5:26 left in the game, by Texarkana freshman Mike Conway, who earlier missed first half field goal tries from the 38 and 18.

The latter was set up by the second of two first half interceptions by Tiger Steve Jackson. LSU wasn't all that sure-handed, either, losing four fumbles two in each half. South Carolina, which fell short on a third period field goal attempt, got on the scoreboard late in the final quarter on a 23-yard pass from Grantz to split end Phil Logan. It was the eighth scoring pass thrown this season Tech's String Ends And each fumble recovery set up a scoring situation, with a first half recovery by end Lew Sibley being followed by two second half recoveries by end Butch Knight and special team charger Dave Cook. Sibley's grab set up a 31 -yard payoff from quarterback Pat Lyons to tight end Bo Dunphy LSU's longest scoring play of 1975 with just two minutes left in the first half.

Late in This Eagles victory was accomplished when the visitors crunched 78 yards in an 18-play fourth period drive to score with four minutes to play. Fullback Carlos Montgomery went over from the two to end a drive which ran off nine minutes of the period. Tech might have had an answer but linebacker Ron Cheatham saw to it that the Bulldogs never had a chance. He intercepted a Randy Robertson pass on the first play following the touchdown that had pushed USM on top 17-14. The interception came with Cheatham diving to grab a ball that deflected off the hands of halfback Arry Moody.

It gave USM the ball at the Tech 21 and ended the Bulldogs hopes. Ben Garry's four-yard touchdown run with 2:06 left was just icing for Southern Miss. USM, with its big offensive line working well in the final drive, passed and ran as if it were a clear, day in its By Gerry Robichaux Times Assistant Sports Editor RUSTON Seeming to ignore weather conditions which seemed better for ducks.

Quarterback Jeff Bower completed a key third-down pass for 12 yards to move the ball to midQeld, used Garry slashing right tackle for another third down pickup later to take the ball to the Tech 40 and then passed 12 yards to flanker Eddie Tate at the 27. On another third down play, Bower kept the ball around the right side for six yards to the four and set up Montgomery's scoring run as 8,300 wet fans braced for the worst. Bower completed six of eight passes for the night, good for 83 yards, despite the almost continuous drizzle of the bleak night.
