It also helped East Carolina escape with its first outright Southern Conference football championship as Coach Sonny Randle's troops downed the Indians," 21-15, at Cary Field In a second-half thriller before over 15,000 fans.

After spotting the Pirates a 21-0 hlftime lead, the Indians narrowed the gap to 21-15 and still had hopes of pulling out a victory until the debatable call came at a crucial time. That was on a fourth-and-10 situation for the Indians on their 24 with 3:58 left in the game. Russell Brown went into punt formation, but in-, stead of kicking the ball he connected on a 15-yard pass to tight end Dick Pawlewicz. It looked as if Coach Jim Root's charges had made the play that would pave the way to the winning touchdown, however, the cheers by- the Tribe fans soon were silenced and turned to boos as the Indians were penalized for having an ineligible -receiver downfield. The call sent Root and his players fuming, but it was to no avail and the Indians had to punt away the ball, which they never got back again.

Root's "big beef" was that the umpire didn't make the call until the play was over and the downmarkers had East Carolina 14 7 0 021 Wm.

I'm not contesting that we didn't have an ineligible receiver downfield, but I'm contesting the delayed call." After the Pirates gained possession with 3:30 left in the game, the home fans still had hopes the Indians might get another chance. East Carolina, however, chewed up the remaining time.

"It's really too bad to get here and get that type of officiating in a championship game on your home field," lamented Root, whose charges could have clinched at least a share of the SC title with a victory. To a large extent the Indians beat themselves in the first half where they lost four fumbles and had one pass picked off.

That broke, a' 7-7 deadlock which existed after three quarters. Late in the third quarter, City Stadium and the vicinity was without power because of a transformer malfunction in the area, but Richmond turned on its own power to win the game. Richmond started the go-ahead drive from its 31 shortly after the power failure knocked out the scoreboard and press box lights. The Spiders worked the ball to the Wildcats' 30 on eight plays mainly off the running of Barty Smith. Then former Ferguson High School star Harry Knight threw to flanker Joe Sgroi.

Pass interference was called and put the ball on Davidson's 15. Freshman Bob Allen got to the eight, quarterback Dave Yount went off tackle to the four, then the one and Smith went over from the one on a d-and-goal situation. Keith Clark kicked the extra point and Richmond took a 14-7 lead. Davidson couldn't move the ball and Gary Fomeroy punted to Richmond's John Pala-zeti on the Wildcats' 40 with the Spider back returning to the 32. In two bursts, Smith carried to the 17, Billy Meyers scoring on the next play.

Clark missed the extra point to make it Richmond 20, Davidson 7.
