The, big discussion on the sidelines was that the coaches (later he said it was his assistants) didn't want to throw the pass to Adams. That nickname is for his hands when he catches the ball." Adams hung on, however, and so did Tech.

One major reason the Gobblers extended their home winning streak through six outings was the somewhat amazing punting of redshirt junior George Roberts A product of Johnny Palmer's at C. Glass in Lynchburg, Roberts had averaged 34 9 yards in 12 punts during Tech's first two games, which were his first two in college, although he is academically a senior. Saturday, he responded with a scintillating 45 5 average in six tries, the first two of which hurtled 58 and 52 yards. Conceding that graduation of Bruce McDaniel (last year's punter) had "something to do with it, but wasn't the major factor," Roberts says he re-See Fake, Page D-, Columns 4-5 Southern Mississippi ViraHna Tech it; i i i Va FG Engle 42 Va Coles 37 run (Engle kicfc) SM Garry 48 run (MacDonald kick) Va Barnes 1 run (kick failed) A 3S.000 By TOMMY SKWARI) AMorialf Sport Kdilnr CIIARL0TTKSVII.1.K For the second week in a row the University of Virginia ran up against an opponent which had a bruising fullback and an elusive tailback.

The second half was another story. As against Winston-Salem in the first half a week ago, HI took the kickoff after intermission and scored on three straight possessions, throwing the game wide open "We thought we would come out, line up and Shaw would lay down," Lovett explained of the first half doldrums. "We weren't blocking.

Our kids didn't seem up for the game We waited on the line, didn't try to control the game." Carter began the second-half pay-dirt parade with an electrifying 18-yard jaunt and ended the game with 51 on the ground. "This week we just couldn't get it together," Carter noted. "I knew it would take at least one series for us to get going. We were physically prepared, but we weren't mentally ready. "Coach (Walter) Lovett instilled something in us at halftime," Carter added.

"He was real cool. We went over plays he thought would work and then he came over and just told us to buckle up in the second half." Following the score to make it 13-0, Hi's Ron Giddings intercepted the second of four wayward Shaw aerials and substitute running back Lewey Hale did the rest First, he romped for 14 yards to the Bear 10. Then he snagged a short pass from Seaton for the score.

Tech (2-1) never trailed but when the Golden Eagles' Ben Garry exploded 48 yards for the invaders' first touchdown in their two games this year, the Gobblers quickly resorted to trickery. After Garry, who gained 143 yards in 19 carries, fumbled and Tech's game-long standout linebacker Steve Cannon recovered, the Gobblers launched a 50-yard, 15-play drive that provided the clinching and final points. The march, launched late in the third quarter, sputtered and on the first play of the fourth period, Tech had fourth and four on the Southern 34. That seemed to set up a field goal try by Paul Engle, who had given the Gobblers a 3-0 first -quarter lead on a 42-yard connection Instead, holder Mitch Barnes, Tech's quarterback, threw a screen pass to fullback Paul "Clang" Adams for a six-yard gain. From there the Gobblers kept churning away until Barnes kept for one yard and the touchdown with 12:06 to play.

The fake field goal was "the first Phils Win, Hike Lead; Bucks Lose From AP Dispatches Jay Johnstone collected four hits including a triple and a double Saturday as the Philadelphia Phillies snapped a three-game losing streak with a 4 1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The triumph was only the sixth in the last 24 games for the slumping Phillies and raised their lead over second-place Pittsburgh in the National League East to four games. Dave Kingman belted his 35th home run of the season and Ed Kranepool also homered as the New York Mets beat the Pirates 6-2. The Phils and Bucs each have 15 games remaining. Philadelphia's Steve Carlton, 18-6, struck out 11 including the side in the ninth but lost his bid for a shutout in the seventh when Cubs pitcher Rick Reuschet doubled and scored on a single by Mick Kelleher.

Garry Maddox opened the game with a double, moved to third on an infield out and scored on Mike Schmidt's single. The Phillies scored again in the fourth on Johnstone's triple and a sacrifice fly by Tim McCarver. Johnstone's double triggered a two-run ninth. Pinch-runner Ollie Brown See Homers.

By ED RICHARDS Daily Press Sports Writer LEXINGTON Mistake-prone Appalachian State tried to give away another football game Saturday, but for the second straight week there were no takers. The Apps made a circus of errors last week, but still mauled East Tennessee State 44 3. They went into their comedy -of -errors act again Saturday against host Virginia Military Institute, still the same old story another ASU victory, this time by 31-12.

The Boone, N.C., outfit obviously doesn't know how to win easily. The Apps have to rank among the national leaders in miscues, with nine fumbles (five lost) and one interception last week to go with their latest production of nine fumbles (five lost) and two interceptions. Winning Coach Jim Brakefield was about ready to pull his hair out by halftime, despite his team clinging to a 10-9 lead. "If it hadn't been for our defense, we would have been out of the game at the half," he pointed out. "We had six turnovers in our territory in the first half.

"We have not been a fumbling team in the past, but we have been the past two weeks. That will be our main priority in practice this next week." The Keydets had a world of opportunities to run up a big score, but couldn't get their offense cranked up. In fact, about the only offense the Keydets revealed was freshman kicking whiz Craig Jones. The 5-foot-U soccer-style booter from Norfolk Academy personally accounted for all his team's points, setting a school record with four field goals. With 12:47 left in the third quarter, the VMI standout had personally out-See Appalachian, D-.

The first came when Bobby Shreeves, Limited champ driving a new car, was going into the pits and was bumped in the rear by Paul Bitter. Following the restart, Richmond's Billy Layne called on the front straightaway and blocked traffic. There was a delay of several seconds before the yellow came out.

Ottinger, who before looked to be content to stay back in the pack and wait on luck, grabbed the lead on the 104th lap from Butch Lindley, winner of four straight 200-lap races this season here. Lindley made a costly pit stop for a brief consultation with his pit crew on the 138th lap and finished third, well back of Ottinger. Lindley had won the pole after Ottinger spun out on his time trial. A surprising second in the season finale was Hampton's Joe Hendricks. Dale Lemonds won the 25-lap Limited Sportsman event.

He said it may be his last race ever since he does not want to move up to the IMS ranks. Lemonds won the pole and led all the way in the Limited Feature, winning by.
