Sharpe, admitting "the coaches told stubborn me we could throw the football," also explained that previously "we had problems with our protection. "We've got to have three or four yards on first down. At Texas AtM we tried passing on first down and our protection broke down. When it breaks down on first down, then you're forced to pass on second and you're in trouble.

He added "we worked hard on our protection to give it confidence" in a game plan which he said called "to attack the middle and throw, not attack outside." The Gobblers did the latter a year ago when the Golden Flashes won 17-11. Tech spurted to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter on a four-yard run by George Heath and the 70-yard pass to By TOMMY SEWARD Associate Sporlt Editor WINSTON-SALEM, C. The University of Virginia beat Wake Forest 1817 in the last minute Saturday and the Cavaliers' national-leading 15-game losing' string came to an end finally. However, there was no joy in the Cavaliers' dressing room Immediately after the game, Coach Dick Bestwick told his players that Kevin Bowie, the injured sophomore defensive end who didn't make the trip and decided to visit his grandmother in Washington, DC, was shot and killed Friday night at a fast-food store when he tried to fight off alleged muggers. "It was a great victory," said Bestwick, "but it's a very hollow feeling.

Kevin's mother called me at 11 this morning and I waited until after the game to tell the team Andre Grier, who was Bowie's roommate, made the game-winning catch, a diving effort in the end zone of quarterback Andy Hitt's 36-yard pass. Hitt also passed 40 yards for a third-period TD. All of Virginia's scoring came in the second half after the Demon Deacons had scored touchdowns on two of their first three possessions for a 14-0 lead at halftime. Except for Hitt's passing, the Cavaliers couldn't budge the Wake Forest defense on the ground, winding up the Atlantic Coast Conference scrap with a minus-one yard rushing. Hitt completed 13 of 21 passes for 208 yards while the Deacons had a total offense of 420 yards 269 rushing and 151 passing.

Virginia is 1-6 overall and climbed out of the ACC basement with a 1-2 record while Wake Forest stands at 3-5 and 2-2. Clemson (0-2) and the University of North Carolina (0-1) are now below the CavaHers in conference standings. Virginia, which meets Virginia Military Institute next Saturday in Norfolk's Oyster Bowl, tallied its touchdowns in stunning fashion. The first one came on a 40-yard pass play to fullback Skip Browning with 4:38 left in the third quarter. The two-point conversion was missed, but the Cavaliers trailing only 14-12 because Keydets Surprise Delaware NEWARK, Del.

(AP) Jeff Morgan snatched a fumble in midair and ran it 67 yards to pay dirt with three minutes left in the game to give Virginia Military Institute a 10-6 victory over Delaware in college football Saturday. The triumph gained the invading Keydets revenge for a season-opening upset at the hands of the Blue Hens, which seemed to give a low key to a 1975 season which otherwise was. to have been a "big one" for VMI. Before Morgan's game-buster, Delaware enjoyed a 6-3 lead on field goals of 36 and 35 yards from Hank Kline. With the clock ticking up to the two-minute warning, Morgan knocked the ball loose from Delaware's Craig Carroll, tucked it into his chest and scurried to the goal line.

By halftime it was 28 0 on the run by Lamie and the 29-yard pass to Foster. The victors' other scores were the work of Dolphin and Roscoe Coles on a one-yard burst in the fourth quarter. Coles, who wrapped up the point-making with 3:02 to go, rushed for 83 yards in 16 carries.

"I just couldn't get anything together as far as my golf swing was concerned," said Heisler, whose father Fritz Heisler was assistant coach for the Cleveland Browns for 20 years before retiring several years ago Roberts hit 16 greens Saturday but birdied only the first and third holes.

Hampton took the lead in the fight-free, fast-skating contest in the first period, but never gained complete control until Ted Scharf's 40-footer beat Clippers' goaltender Bill Oleschuk to earn Hampton some breathing room That one came after a shot by newcomer Dan Djakalovic (it's pronounced jak-a-LO-vich) was blocked by the Baltimore defense. The loose puck rebounded to Scharf who put it away and finally ended the Clippers three-game streak. Earlier, defenseman Dave Hanson, who drew the second assist on Schari's goal, and uncharacteristically rushed the Baltimore net to log the game winner on a rebound from Claude Chartre's try from an almost impossibly steep angle.

That play was set up by a rush during which Hampton's Ron Morgen was tripped in front of the Baltimore net. Still, be somehow managed to get the disk to Chartre on the right-wing side.

For the University of Richmond and Furman, it was a game that began five minutes too early, 1:25 m. instead of the scheduled 1:30.

However, only for the Paladins did the game end too quickly, as Richmond defeated Furman 13-9 here Saturday before 8,000 partisans. Two interceptions in the final 50 seconds of play insured the Spiders of their third victory against four defeats and their fifth verdict over Furman in the last six tries.

That was the lament of Kelly Roberts of London, who reached 16 greens in regulation and yet managed only two birdies in the third round of the National Bicentennial Tournament of Champions at the Kingsmill Golf Club in Williamsburg Saturday. "I had a lot of ho-hum pars and, to tell the truth, it wasn't a very exciting round," said the 23-year-old former Ail-American golfer at Indiana University.

Yet, the par-71 was good enough to give Roberts a two-stroke lead over Richmonder Vinny Giles entering today's final round. Roberts was at 212, four-under-par for 54 holes and Giles had a 214. Giles shot a 67 Saturday with seven birdies and tied the competitive course record set by Roberts only Friday.

Moses Foster says he isn't the type "to give up just because things aren't going my way." That Sharpe did budge and Foster didn't provided the impetus to a rousing 42-14 Virginia Tech homecoming victory over Kent State Saturday afternoon. While the defense uncorked a long series of big plays, the offense unveiled its most exciting effort of a campaign which has produced five victories in seven starts. Although Tech threw only 10 times, it was the second-most passes unleashed by the 1976 Gobblers and it certainly was their most successful aerial attack.

Saturday almost marked the great Hampton Institute collapse.

The Pirates (6-1, 5-1) nearly blew a 10-point lead in the final 1:10 but escaped with a 38-36 victory over Virginia State in Rogers Stadium. The Trojans (3-4, 3-2) narrowly missed a 31-yard field goal with 29 seconds left after Joe McDaniel caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from Maurice Banks and VSC recovered an onside kick. HI halfback Lewey Hale became the first Buc in recent memory to rush for over 100 yards with 135 strides and a touchdown. He also caught a scoring pass of 15 yards from Russ Seaton to open the invaders' offensive day. That six-pointer came after Rufus Crawford galloped 29 yards for a VSC touchdown on the Trojans' opening series.

In the end, though, it was Seaton 's By CHUCK FRAINIE Daily Press Sports Writer Hampton Gulls' goaltender John Kiely earned the nickname "Mose" with his unflapability. However, the Baltimore Clippers may have another not-so-nice nickname for the former University of Vermont Ail-American netminder after he stood them on their heads Saturday night before 4,399 at Hampton Coliseum. Kiely 's work highlighted an outstanding defense effort by both clubs and netted the Gulls a 3-1 triumph in the first-ever Southern Hockey League meeting between the two clubs. The triumph gave Hampton a 2-1 SHL slate in early-season play and left them in a position to climb during the busy week which opens Monday when the cross-river rival Tidewater Sharks pay their first visit of the year at the Coliseum. Other 7:30 outings follow Wednesday at Richmond and Thursday against the Wildcats in the Coliseum.
