In the closing stages of the third period, a period in which Virginia has now failed to score nine games, Donnie Spr.ouse blocked Maxwell's kick at the 12 and Tim Bosiack ran it back to the VPI 34.

On that drive, UVA reached the Gobblers' 5. "We beat ourselves," defensive coordinator Bill Clay said, putting it simply for Virginia. Virginia had two golden scoring opportunities in the last period, but Virginia Tech's defense proved much too tough to crack, stopping the Cavaliers on downs at the 13 and the 24. Oddly enough, Virginia Tech didn't find itself in the hole either time as the Cavaliers were guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct each time the fourth-down play failed to get the desired results.

It was a futile afternoon for the homestanding Cavaliers, who got at or inside the 13 four times and again stalled at the 24. VPI is now 3-5, while Virginia is 2-6.

The Bulldogs proved why they rank atop the Southern' Conference in total offense and in rushing defense in the first half, taking almost complete control almost from the opening kickoff. They took over at their own 30 after Billy Watson's return and moved almost unhindered, except by two minor penalties, into "the Spider end zone. Jon Hall, who ran the ball on seven of the 11 palys in the drive, accounted for 47 of the 70 yards and a pass from sophomore quarterback Harry Lynch to champ Reiley accounted for 19 more before Lynch took the ball in from the 1 with 9:15 remaining in the period.

Another 70-yard drive, this one- on eight plays, put the Citadel ahead 14-0 at the 11:30 mark of the second period. The climax came on a third-and-five situation at the Spider 16 when Lynch connected with Brian Baima who made an unbelieveable catch of the first aerial to come his way and put Richmond another touchdown behind. The third score was equally spectacular when Lynch again hit Baima from 28 yards out to cap a 14-play march following Watson's interception at his 40.

Forgotten are the inexperienced offensive line, an unproven punter and the loss of Ail-American running back Don Mc-Cauley. These ihree factors were supposedly North Carolina's major weaknesses entering the 1971 football campaign. All three have proved invalid as the Ta." Heels took a giant step toward clinching their first Atlantic Coast Conference championship since 19G3 here Saturday with a 26-13 triu.nph over Clemson. The crucial victory gives North Carolina a perfect 4-0 mark in conference play and undisputed possession of first place, one game ahead of the losing Tigers. Both teams have two ACC games remaining.

The heroes of the latest Tar Heel success included scrambling quarterback Paul Miller, tailback Lew Jolley, kicking specialist Ken Craven and a tenacious defense, perhaps inspired by the return of linebacker Jim Webster to a starting role. The elusive Miller turned in his best passing effort of the campaign in guiding the hosts to a comfortable 20-0 advantage with 5:59 remaining in the third period. The 180-pound senior clmpleted 12 of 19 passes for 175 yards while Jolley paced the ground assault with 105 yards on 26 carries. Craven gained the record books, kicking four field goals for a Tar Heel school mark. The Greensboro senior's feat ties the ACC record set by David Wright of Duke in 1970.

Miller's eight-yard scamper with 45 seconds left in the half provided the first, Tar Heel touchdown sandwiched between Craven field goals of 23 and 37 yards for the 13-0 half-time bulge.

Neil Johnson, who contributed 19 points, committed the fcul that gave Cannon his chance with 22 left. After Memphis took the lead, Virginia moved down court with Bernie Williams feeding Doug Moe.

The forward dribbled to the corner and released a short jumper, which rolled off the edge of the rim. The Pros controlled the rebound with three seconds left and held on until the sound of the buzzer. Virginia, which encountered trouble trying to use its fast break against the Memphis Pros, carried a one-point lead into halftime. The Squires had built a 60-53 lead before the Pros went on a scoring spree with 47 seconds left in the second quarter. Cannon and former Virginia Tech standouts Lloyd King pumped in four points apiece to cut the margin to one point.
