(Special i To Daily Press) The Lang- ley Air Force Base basketball team won its fourth 'straight. 1 .4 Gamecocks, 42-24 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Fullback Stan Fritts provided the power as North Carolina State exploded for four second-half touchdowns to come from behind and defeat South Carolina, 42-24, Saturday.

A homecoming day crowd of 32,100 and a Peach Bowl scout saw the underdog Gamecocks grab a 17-14 first-half lead. Tom Zipperly returned a second-period kickoff 98 yards for a South touchdown.

The State Wolf pack went 48 yards for a third-period touchdown to go ahead 21-17 as quarterback Bruce Shaw scored from the one. However, South Carolina came back and scored, in two minutes and six seconds, rolling 70 yards in six plays.

Followed by a five-yard penalty for delay of game, Wasps' placekicker Tom Shank booted a perfect 37-' yard score. The six-foot junior has yet to miss from inside the 50 on eight kicks this year.

Page, who also came up with two crucial interceptions from his right safety post, tied the score at the half with a 30-yarder of his own. Butch Beverly set up the second Tigers' field goal with a one-handed interception and 21-yard return to the 9 late in the final period.

Yepremian, the left-footed soccer-style kicker of the Miami Dolphins, gained last-ing fame last season when he kicked a 37-yard field goal to beat Kansas City in sudden-death overtime in the National Football League's American Conference's playoffs. He spends his idle time-when he's not hosting a radio show or writing a book by making, designing and selling men's ties.

"I designed a tie with a Dolphin going over the goal post," he sadd proudly of his hottest-selling number. Field goals are the main specialty, however, of the 5-foot-9 football player. -The hairline on the. balding' 28- year-old Yepremian is the -only thing that is He's kicking the ball" farther than ever. He's made only nine of 16'? field goal tries this which in itself won't scare the Baltimore Colts too much in their game Sunday, but his successes include a deciding Sl-yarder against Minnesota and a 54-yarder last week HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS IN PERIL Young people of high school age in Virginia are fortunate and ought to be a happy lot, especially where Iports and extra-curricular activities of almost I.

every variety are concerned. Their programs are comparatively sound whereas those of more populous and supposedly far richer other states are either in trouble or non-existent. None of this, though, should be taken for granted by either the parents or the young people of Virginia. Pressure on these programs soon may mount, either for expansion or just to maintain the status quo. If Virginians think the "dollar crisis" for such activities is tight now, it could be "you ain't seen nuthin yet." One source of pressure, of course, stems from the influx of new settlers trying to escape to Virginia from blighted and overtaxed northern cities.

If that spurs demands for new schools and more space for study, then quite naturally the dollars spent for high school athletics are bound to get that "second look." RECORD HERE IS GOOD SO FAR That's to be expected, though, and administrators of prep athletics should bend new and greater efforts to practice economy whatever possible, to make the sports programs self-sustaining. We have no records on schools elsewhere, but we know that for many years they were, self-helping at Newport News, Hampton and Warwick, Still, there are growing pressures which could such "good housekeeping" well-nigh im -possible u.Oipf the greatest, sources is com-, petition from activities, outside of high schools. -Most particularly, attendance of parents at prep sports won't be enough if competition increases from colleges and professional sports, Right here not too many seasons ago we were among those comparatively few who sounded an alarm that television broadcasts of college and pro sports should not be allowed to poach on prime time and nights generally conceded to be the best for staging high school athletic events. Those prime times were on Friday nights in football, Tuesday and Friday nights for basketball. A THREAT FROM THE COLLEGES? The campaign carried even into the halls of Congress and, by and large, the results were rewarding.

Now another campaign may be needed. Formerly the fight was against pro football telecasts, but since the pros have enjoyed such huge success with their "free shows" on Monday nights, the colleges are studying the same idea. More bluntly, the main headline on Page One of the "Gridiron" newspaper's latest issue poses I this question: "Friday Night TV For College Football?" That tells you where the pressure may next come from for prep athletics which in many areas of the nation are already under heavy fi. I nancial siege or already busted. To put the premises in proper perspective, the lfigh school sports programs already have enough competition from natural rivals such as live-and-paid professional sports or even the youngish (so-called) entertainment groups without college (which should know better) offering free Friday night football games.

ALERTNESS, QUICK ACTION NEEDED I Don't think it can't happen. In recent seasons, for instance, we've been aware of. schisms between sports administrators of North Carolina high schools and (chiefly) the member schools of the Atlantic (foast The trouble there was that individual ACC college tv networks were invading, prime-lime nights usually felt as "belonging 'to" high schools. Generally, as far as we know, the ACC people were cooperative, but the foregoing example gives you an idea of what can happen. Thought-; less planning by college leaders (who also need money) plus lack of awareness of the general public could bring disaster to high school sports in I a few short years.

Quite coincidentally, after having read the "Gridiron" story, there came in the mails a brochure full of material from Compass, an organization whose name spelled out sets the group's aim to be "Competitive Athletics in Service to Society." i 'COMPASS PERHAPS SHOWS THE WAY Manly, as indicated, the goals of Compass are to reserve promote full programs of, athletics and extra-curriculaE activity at "virtually all school grade levels, butjj also offers aid to people in communities where school bowf referendums have failed 4nd where, consequently, the schools, may be doomed tP misery if not failure. d. ss I Here we're not advocating that anyone join the Compass program, but it ought to be worth i looking into. However, whether you look into it or I not the general public had better be on the lookout for Friday night college football or anything else i that is going to put high school athletics in a tight- 1 er bind. 2 Think about it heavy pressure on one vulnerable point (athletics, bands, drama) in any school program may not seem to endanger the whole, but it eoes! game of the young season Sat- a afternoon, romping over Seymour Johnson, 102-78.

"I'm eettinz more distance in it right now," he admitted, but he said length wasn't the problem he had in previous seasons. "I used to panic every time I went over 50 yards," he explained.

"I had never made one." Yepremian had no knowledge of football when he arrived from England in 1966. He wrote pro teams asking for a chance and was playing in his first game four days after the Detroit Lions received his letter. But Yepremian was demoted to the Lions' reserve squad in 1968 and cut in 1969. He said he "begged" other NFL teams for a tryout but got no takers. "I had to do something," he said.

"I couldn't get a job so I started making ties in my home basement. Yepremian found the enter-j prise easy because "my moth-l er 'was a seamstress and my father was in the clothing business (in His older brother, Krikof, helps him in his Miami business.

The Giants have given up 8.4 yards per punt. On kickoff returns, the Redskins have given up an average of 20.4 yards to the Giants' 28.9.

Hughes cut loose on a 56-yard scamper and bulled over from the two in the third quarter while Davis scored on a pair of one-yard dives in the first half. Eddie Seigler kicked a 34 yard field goal on the last play of the first half and booted an extra point after every Tiger touchdown to round out the scoring.

Wake Forest, held to one first down in the first half, got inside the Clemson 10-yard line twice after intermission but was unable to cross the goalline either time. Both of Davis' touchdowns capped long drivese. His first score, with 3:26 left in the first quarter, completed a 77-yard march that took 18 plays and lasted six minutes and 39 seconds. The second Davis touchdown, coming with less than four minutes gone in the second quarter, wrapped up a time-consuming, 67-yard' drive requiring 14 plays. Clemson so dominated the firstijialf that the Deacons managed to possession for only 8:10.

Sliding on the wet turf, Crockett was co-ralled by Thompson back in the end zone to give the Bengals their first lead of the contest. Hampden-Sydney had possession inside the 15 on no less than five occasions, virtually spending the game in enemy territory by virtue of a fumble recovery and five pass interceptions. The Wasps repeatedly held firm with their backs against the wall, forcing the favored attackers to settle for field goals of 30 and 25 yards by Page. Page missed another try from the 20 in the fourth quarter. Emory and Henry (4-4), fresh off an upset of Ran-d 1 h-M aeon last week, seemed determined to make Bengals its second straight victim behind the stingy resistance of defensive end Jed Hammer Coq' The Wasps opened the scoring early in the 'second quar-t when linebacker Bill Strong pounced on Tommy Tucker's fumble at the H-S 22.

Quarterback Greg Harvey directed to the 7 before when he ran for 95 yards and caught seven passes for 100 yards has been called one of the greatest individual efforts in modern pro football annals. The Giants may have nobody to equal Brown, but the combo of Ron Johnson and Charlie Evans have, run for 722 yards. As far as the intangibles go the New Yorkers have never beaten a team coached by George Allen either in Washington or Los Angeles. A surprising note this year is. that visiting teams have won 51 per cent of the time.

Last week, the Redskins rallied from a 20-6 halftime deficit to top the Cowboys. Coach Allen said, "It felt like we just won the Super Bowl." The Giants, meanwhile, have won four in a row and feel they are almost destined to go to the playoffs and the Super Bowl.

That pretty succinctly sums up Saturday's N-State clash between visiting Emory and Henry and the of Hampden-Sydney. Despite a plethora of opportunities, neither team crossed the goal line in a mud-caked, 8-3, decision by the Tigers.

The hosts (6-1)" earned their sixth consecutive victory with a pair of field goals by senior Paul Page and a safety, with the latter ultimately doingin the'fired-up With the score knotted at 3-3 six minutes into the third quarter, H-S quarterback Jim Nelson threw a third-down pass from the Wasps' 11 intended for wide receiver Mike Thompson in the end zone.

Today's game with the New York Giants certainly will afc feet the NFCs Eastern standings. The 'Skins lead the division with mark while the Giants and Dallas Cowboys, who to Washington last week in a 24-20 thriller, are 4-2. i As the Redskins battle to hold onto first place in their division, the Baltimore Colts face an almost impossible task as hosts to the undefeated Miami Dolphins. The Colts (1-5) must win or be eliminated from play-off consideration. Not only are the Giants and Washington close in the standings, their statistics on offense are almost mirror-like.

The Redskins have gained 1,890 yards in their six games in total offense while the New-Yorkers have compiled just 27 less with 1,863. The Redskins have made 104 first downs and the Giants 103. The Giants have the edge in total scoring with 152 points to the hosts' 142. The defense statistics are another story. The Redskins have given up 1,644 yards, while the Giants have yielded 1,902.
