It takes a thief sometimes seven of them. William and Mary's pick-pocket defense came up with seven East Carolina turnovers and the Indians' ball-control attack took care of things on offense for a 28-10 victory over the Pirates Saturday night.

In the process, she devoted some effort to making the Davidson football team's visit to Virginia Military Institute as unpleasant as possible. When Edith was about to run out of steam here, VMI's fired-up Keydets took over the job and handed Head Coach Dave Fagg's two-touchdown favored Wildcats an unquestioned 27-3 whipping before some 5,500 alumni and rooters. The rejuvenated Keydeta made Head Coach Bob Thai-man's debut a complete success by dominating action al- most from the opening whistle. Davidson, which lost to Atlantic Coast Conference favorite Wake Forest last week is now 0-2.

As is the case with most upsets, the contest was rather topsy-turvy affair with Da vidson moving the ball almost at will but unable to get far enough to do any serious damage. If there was any difference, it had to be Davidson's in ability to stop VMI junior tail back Mac Bowman, who piled up 180 yards from scrimmage in 31 tries to narrowly miss setting a new school rushing record. The other major difference, according to Thalman, was in the Keydct defensive unit, which supposedly had just begun to jell in the last week. Drawing particular praise was middle guard Mark Weiss who seemed to be everywhere the ball was all day, and diminutive Gene Williams, the strong safety whom Thalman earlier this week had called VMI's defensive sparkplug. It was Williams who gave the Keydets their first big break, but it was a fumble re-covery by defensive end Denny Sullivan who enabled them to take advantage of it.

Michigan didn't have to resort to anything fancy in rolling over the University of Virginia, 56-0, Saturday afternoon. About the only consolation the Cavaliers could reap from the one-sided defeat was that the largest crowd ever to see Virginia play was on hand. There were 81,391 in Michigan Stadium, watching the Wolverines, now 2-0 score in every period.

Only three times did Virginia get the football into Michigan territory, once In the first period and once in each of the last two quarters. The latter two times the Cavaliers reached the Michigan 36. But the Wolverine defenders proved too tough. Virginia, now 0-2, has failed to score a touchdown in nine quarters, counting the fourth period of last year's finale gainst Maryland. Michigan quarterback Kevin Casey, a sophomore, directed the attack for a 14-0 first-period lead.

After that, Wolverine Coach Bo Schem-bechler paraded quarterbacks into the game. Following Casey were sophomores Tom Slade and Gregory Koss and juniors John McBride and Larry Cipa. The margin of defeat was the worst for Virginia since Harvard won, 65-0, and North Carolina won, 59-14. There were a pair of losses in 1959 that had scores in the 50's. Florida won, 55-10, and 55-12.

But one would have to all the way back to 1890 when Lafayette took the measure of the Cavaliers by a 115-20 count. Michigan scored two touchdowns in the first period, three in the second and two more in the third. With a whole host of reserves in "the final period the Wolverines managed only a single TD. Tailback Bill Taylor, playing only in the first half, scored the first two touchdowns. He gained 89 yards to See Talented, Pg.

"It was a good one to get," said an elated Lou Holtz after his charges had won the game which most figured would be the deciding factor in the 1971 SC title chase. "Our basic game plan was ball-control and that, along with the goal-line stand, probably made the difference in our winning," Holtz continued.

Although the game statistics were even (both teams managed 346 yards total offense), William and Mary was the superior team when it came to making the big plays both on offense and defense.

"Dropped balls, fumbles and inopportune breaks hurt us, too." Two early fumbles by the Pirates and subsquent recoveries by the alert, Tribe defense put East Carolina at a disadvantage it could really never shake.

Wake Forest's little left-handed quarterback, Larry Russell, dominated this fog-shrouded football contest like no one player has here since Lane stadium was built in 1965.

Although He scored only once, the noble New Engender led the Deacons to a 20-9 conquest of the Gobblers, who made their initial appearance under Head Coach Charlie Coffey. Russell's two-yard scamper late in the first half gave the Deaxons a 14-6 bulge at' the half. The touchdown had been preceded by a sensational 89-yard kickoff return by Junior Moore, who made contributions on both offense and defense. Tracy Lounsbury's conversion followed and the visitors went ahead 7-6, never to trail again. Coffey allowed he was "proud" of his charges.

"They played better than I had expected," he said after the gobblers had become Wake Forest's second victim in as many starts. Although the Gobblers unveiled a much more diversified and effective attack than they have normally mustered the past few years, their defense (as Tech coaches feared proved suspect.

Carolina football team was snake-bitten by a Columbia native here Saturday afternoon at Wade Stadium. The hostile native son was 5-foot-10 Duke cornerhack Ernie Jackson. The senior speedster's brilliant effort sent the Gamecocks reeling southward with a 28-12 loss to Coach Mike McGee's surprising Blue Devils, now 2-0. Jackson, who was overshadowed by All Atlantic Coast Conference safety Rich Searl on last season's Blue Devil defense, sabotaged the Gamecocks with a 74-yard touchdown punt return, a 30-yard scoring gallop with an interception and another cruical theft to thwart a South Carolina scoring bid in the fourth period.

"It is difficult to single out performances before you grade films, but I have to say our defensive secondary was exceptional for the second consecutive week," said an elated McGee. "One man in particular, Ernie Jackson, from Columbia, S.C., has to be one of the finest defensive backs in the history of Duke. His performance today was nothing short of brilliant." Jackson's pair( of fourth-quarter interceptions sealed the Blue Devil victory. The 165-pounder used his 9.5 speed adaptly for a diving steal in the Duke end zone to halt the Gamecocks early fourth-quarter drive which could have tied the score for the visitors, See Duke's, Pg.
