Ga (AP) Commissioner Cale Yarborough of Florence County. an acknowledged authority on transportation matters, won reelection on the Democratic ticket last Tuesday and a mandate from the people to confront as he sees best the issues vital to the interests of those in his district.

First and foremost, Mr Yarborough believes, is to nail down the national championship of Na tional Association of Stock Car Auto Racing in Grand National racing. His constituents can rest assured he will be hard at work on that very problem in today's Dixie 500 here Related Story PageD-2) "We're interested in winning the championship, and that's well known," stated Mr. Yarborough in a brief break from his official duties. Yarborough, who takes his politics as seriously as his racing and fervently supported stock car fan Jimmy Carter for President, needs only to put another 50 points or so between himself and Richard Petty to earn his first national title He's been a runnerup twice. "We will run cautious, but still run hard," Yarborough said of his plan of attack today "We're still interested in winning races.

But let me say this: We figure the title is worth $250,000 to the team "If we think a change of strategy is necessary we'll do it." 4J iC Cnwi I if ufr rt ten! J. PnH WEST I.AEAYETTK.

It seems the Rozantzes have never seen the Indians lose a game (7-0) that son Tom has quarterbacked Most important, they kept their perfect record intact Saturday as son Tom whipped a 38-yard scoring pass to Ken Cloud with 4:04 remaining in the game as the Indians eked out a thrilling 23-22 victory over Appalachian State. The triumph boosted the Tribe's re cord to 6-3, assuring them of the first winning season since 1973 (6-5). and leaving them one victory short of their best mark in 25 years with two games remaining.

Appalachian Head Coach Jim Brakefield would only say "The official said it missed, so it missed." Ronzantz came back from a sub-par performance in a 23-7 loss to Furman last week to hit 7 of 14 passes for 98 yards and two touchdowns, both to Cloud, as well as running for 60 yards on 12 carries. "I sort of believe in that stuff (good luck)," says Rozantz on his parents' attendance at games "It started last year with the Richmond game the first one they saw Every game they've been to this year we've won The ones they Stretch Drive By Youth Captures International By BOB MUSKOWITZ Daily Press Sports Writer BLACKSBURG On a clear, windy Saturday when records and lost possessions were flaunted with an equal amount of reckless abandon, Tulsa could not nail down its pulsating 35-31 conquest of Virginia Tech until the final minute. It was with 43 seconds remaining and Tech apparently touchdown-bound that quarterback Mitch Barnes unleashed a poor pitchout and the Golden Hurricane's Gary Chandler recovered what went into the books as the last of the day's 13 turnovers. Chandler recovered two of them.

There were, however, many more positive factors in this contest which kept alive the victors' post-season bowl hopes. To wit: The losers' Roscoe Coles ran, knifed, clawed and exploded for a single-game record of 214 yards to establish a career record of 2,586 yards. He also ran for two touchdowns and was caught from behind on a 52-yard gain. The man nailing him was Tulsa strong safety Jim Stewart, who a few minutes later hurtled 100 yards with a kickoff return to push the invaders on top for the 21-17 halftime lead. It was the longest run of its kind in Lane Stadium annals Two touchdowns by Tech's bullish Paul Adams enabled the Gobblers to construct a 31-21 advantage with 8:52 remaining in what turned out to be the highest-scoring presentation here since Charlotte Gulls9 Foe In Home Tilt By CHUCK FRAINIE Daily Press Sports Writer Ever since the Hampton Gulls and Charlotte Checkers became perennial contenders for the Southern Hockey League championship, disciplined positional hockey has been the secret of victory RESULTS SATURDAY Tidewater Winston-Salem 3 Richmond 10, Charlotte 3 (Only games scheduled) Tidewater 8 2 1 17 54 34 Baltimore 8 3 0 16 50 30 Charlotte 6 5 0 12 41 37 Richmond 6 6 0 1 2 50 50 HAMPTON 4 0 10 33 30 Greensboro 4 6 1 9 42 50 Winston-Salem 1 12 0 2 32 71 GAMES TODAY Charlotte at HAMPTON, 7 30 idewater at Greensboro (Only games scheduled) At least this is the opinion of SHL all-star defenseman Norm Martel, who feels this characteristic is even more evident this season.
