A record Carter Stadium crowd of 51,300 saw Saturday afteroon why amazing North Carolina freshman running back Amos. Lawrence got his nickname "Famous Amos" and discovered the Tar Heels' swarming defense is every bit as good as its recent rave reviews. Those two dominant forces propelled North Carolina to a stunning 27-0 bulge by the second play of the final quarter before host North Carolina State could muster any sort of scoring attack in a crucial 27-14 Atlantic Coast Conference triumph by Coach Bill Dooley's gang. While Virginians Buddy Curry (linebacker) and Ken Sheets (end) were spearheading the Tar Heel defensive masterpiece that limited the ACC's leading offense to 100 yards in three quarters, the elusive Lawrence, also from the Old Dominion, spun and darted his way to the fourth-highest single-game rushing output in the Chapel Hill school's history. He had 216 yards on 28 carries.

Curry, a sophomore from Danville, provided the game's turning point by chugging 31 yards for a touchdown with an interception for a 16-0 lead three minutes prior to halftime. The touchdown theft was the first by a Tar Heel defender since John Bunting turned the trick against Maryland in 1971. "Curry's interception was obviously the turning point," said Al Groh, in his fifth year as North Carolina's defensive end coach. "It took N.C. State out of their game plan early.

They couldn't go to (Ted) Brown and the ground game after that." The victors' initial touchdown with 11:52 left in the first half was set up by another big play. The Tar Heels faked a 50-yard field goal and holder Jim Rouse fired a 20-yard strike to tight end Brooks Williams for a first down at the Wolfpack 6. Sophomore quarterback Matt Kupec passed six yards to Williams two plays later for a 10-0 lead. Sheets and the rest of North Carolina's defensive front put immense pressure on Wolfpack quarterback Johnny Evans, repeatedly forcing him to throw the ball on the run and swarming the ball-carrier when he handed off. N.C.

State didn't manage a first down until 10:46 remained in the first half and couldn't advance any farther than its own 37 during the first 30 minutes. "We never really expected it to go that way," said Groh. "The defense actually played better than we had hoped. We went with basically the same defense we've used all season. Our only See Virginia, D-19, Columns 1-2 called it "the most unusual play I've seen." How accurate the assertion by the Clemson coach was matters little.

More important is that the play he referred to turned first-half Duke momentum into second-half Clemson victory Saturday afternoon. Duke sophomore Craig Hosklns had returned the opening kickoff following intermission 41 yards. It made the Blue Devils' 3-0 advantage appear hefty, indeed. On first down at the Duke 49, marvelous quarterback Mike Dunn threw directly to junior split end Jeff Comer. The ball bounced out of his grasp in the air and hit Clemson safety Steve Ryan on the helmet.

The ball whistled off the headpiece, but not before tackle Jim Stuckey dived and caught the ball at the Duke 48. Minutes later Clemson recorded the game's first touchdown and the streaking Tigers were en route to what turned into a 17-11 Atlantic Coast Conference success. The turn-around nullified a day of brilliance on the ground for Hamptonian Dunn. He carried 24 times, accumulating a nifty 122 yards (5.1 yards a carry). The lanky all-around athlete also sparked what might have been a magnificent late-game comeback.

Instead, the Blue Devils had to be satisfied with no more than eight points in a lost cause. The touchdown and two extra points all by Dunn were followed by a staunch defensive effort. Clemson was forced to punt from its 24. Dreams of a second turn-around in momentum ran rampant in the crowd of 26,500. Instead, senior defensive back Earl Cook of Alexandria, dropped the 32-yard kick by David Simms.

The hit was registered by Jeff Soowal and the fumble recovery by Gary Webb. This gave the Tigers ball possession once again at the hosts' 48 with 1:59 to play. When the ensuing seconds had ticked away, Clemson, once more receiving excellent direction from quarterback Steve Fuller, had won its fifth straight after a season-opening loss to Maryland. The ACC ledger is 2-1. For Dunn, the frustrations were enormous.

Among other things, he completed only four of 14 passes and bad two intercepted (bringing the season's total to six). Nevertheless, he finished with i82 yards in total offense to 146 for Fuller. The Tigers' signal-caller hit seven of 12 passes for 128 yards.

(AP) -Maryland tailback Steve Atkins scored two touchdowns and rushed for 142 yards Saturday to lead the Terrapins to a 35-7 rout of Wake Forest in an Atlantic Coast Conference football game.

The Terps also counted touchdowns on a pass from quarterback Larry Dick to end Chuck White, a one-yard run by fullback Mickey Dudish and a three-yard carry by fullback George Scott. The win evened Maryland's overall record at 3-3 and put the Terps at 2-1 in the ACC. Wake Forest dropped to 1-5 overall and 0-3 in the ACC. The Deacons' only score came with one second left in the first half when a 63-yard drive was capped from the 3 by a touchdown pass from quarterback Mike McGlamry to split end Tom Smith. Wake Forest held the slippery Atkins to 17 yards rushing in the second half, but his two touchdowns within a four-minute span in the second quarter put the Terps well on their way to a 21-7 halftime lead.

After a scoreless first quarter, Maryland moved the ball to the Wake Forest 2 and Atkins cartwheeled over a pile of linesmen for his first touchdown with 12:17 left in the half.

A MARK-ED EVENT FOR CAVALIERS BLACKSBURG "I'm always happy to see someone from down the Peninsula and Tidewater." As far as it goes, that salutatory remark by Joseph John Gaylor "Chip" Mark was okay, except that the surprise starting quarterback for Virginia in its 14-14 standoff with Virginia Tech Saturday didn't look at all happy. A wan smile, perhaps, nothing else. The son of native Hamptonian Joe Mark, who starred for the Crabbers in the circa 1948 era and later for William and Mary before entering the coaching ranks, Chip looked for all the world as if he and the Cavaliers had lost still another game to add to a string of seven straight setbacks.

What was hurting the junior field general more than the bruised right rib cage, to which he held an ice pack while walking off the Lane Stadium gridiron, was that UVA had appeared to be a possible 14-3 winner with 10:32 still to play. Instead, the rib injury benched Chip and the host Gobblers rallied for the face-saving tie. THEY ALL LOOKED LIKE LOSERS Mark didn't say as much but, as his teammates demonstrated by outward appearances, he was downcast that the almost-sure victory slipped away. It wouldn't even have been any consolation to Mark or UVA's squad to witness the funeral demeanor in the dressing room of their hosts, who lead this deadly rivalry 29-25-5. The Gobblers were as forlorn as if they'd lost by three touchdowns although they'd been pre-game favorites by that now-unseemly spread.

Quarterback David Lamie, whose early second-quarter fumble was ruinous to Tech's momentum, expressed it best when he said, "It was more like a loss. They should be happy, but we beat ourselves. Tech Coach Jimmy Sharpe, red-eyed and obviously distraught, was just as succinct and "to the point." His opening game remark was "started too late. The whole story is the same every week. Mistakes, mistakes.

We could have but didn't. We made a game of it with our mistakes, penalties." Thus, to Sharpe, 14-14 also "was more like a loss." ONCE-SMOOTH ROAD ROCKY It's highly doubtful if (among the Cavaliers) Chip Mark suffered the victory- losing tie any worse than anyone, yet he might have. He hadn't been accustomed to the losing ways he's experienced since coming to Charlottesville after two years at Woodberry I Forest. Worse yet, he's been somewhat -scorned. Since he was a ninth-grader.

Chip has been a winner. Only during one year at Albemarle High near Charlottesville did a team he quar- terbacked lose as many as four contests. Though a heady performer and a good passer, as he proved against Tech with 10 completions in 17 tries for 119 yards and one TD, his burden has been the label of "too slow." That's why he switched to, Woodberry for his last two years of pre-college competition, but at UVA the same label has stigmatized his chances all over again. At best he's been the Cavaliers' No. 3 quarterback, which meant he was too slow and not good enough though it would appear UVA should be and should have been "ready for anything." A FAMILY 'SIGN OF THE TIMES? "Anything" could even be something "new" in the Mark family's fortunes, al-; though it may seem unrelated.

His father, Joe, also had been on the loser's road for too long. While serving as an aide at Maryland, Navy and UVA the losing habit was most prevalent. Finally, though, Poppa Joe may have broken with those losing habits. After 1975, Joe took the head coaching job at Shippensburg (Pa.) State College and last season his team went 8-2. This year the mark is something closer to .500 (like 2-3), but at least one of the setbacks was of the "heart- break" variety.

Anyway, the horizons no longer appear bleak to Poppa Joe. Chip wasn't asked if his father's improved for- tunes might have had any bearing on his performance Saturday, but perhaps he's thinking along those lines now. Unless his injury proves more serious than now analyzed. Chip might be doing more than guessing that, at last, his chance has come the chance to I prove that 'atoo slow" doesn't necessarily mean "too bad" or "not good enough. Virginia Coach Dick Bestwick also could be mulling similar thoughts, that what he has tried so far hasn't been good enough and Chip Mark showed Saturday he's quite a bit better than that.

Tech quarterback Gary Lanier opened the scoring after only 4:30 of the opening quarter when he scampered over from one yard out after the Yellow Jackets recovered an Auburn fumble, the first of six Tiger turnovers. Ivery, Tech's leading rusher, then burst into action. He scored on a four-yard run to give the Jackets a 14-0 edge after one period, tossed a five-yard scoring pass to Drew Hill and added a six-yard TD run for a 28-0 Tech bulge shortly before halftime.

Auburn, 3-3, made it 28-7 at the intermission as Joe Cribbs scored on a 15-yard run two minutes before the half. Beach. Hillary Tewei of Richmond led the field with a clocking of 30:57.4.

While H-S was passing for 250 yards, the Generals could not get their air game in gear until late in the fourth quarter against the Tiger reserves. They penetrated to the H-S 2 in the closing minutes, but couldn't crack the Tigers' goal line defense. "I told the kids right before we took the field that at times we played well on offense, at times on defense and at times on our specialty teams but that I couldn't remember us putting it all together," said H-S Coach Stokeley Fulton. "We did put it together today.

"The kids were really emotionally up for this game because we had not had a great performance at homecoming in quite a while. "As far as the poll is concerned," Fulton added in reference to the Tigers dropping from their No. 7 ranking despite last week's impressive victory over Liberty Baptist, "I think it stirred up some feeling among the team but we (the coaches) never mentioned it. "Our game plan was to take exactly what they gave us," added the veteran Tiger skipper. "They gave us the pass and we took it.

They were trying to cut off Ferguson's (Jimmy) running with an eight-man front and we took advantage of it with the short passes." Ferguson, who went into the game as the country's second leading runner in Division III with a 138 yard average, carried 14 times for 60 yards. The game was put out of reach in the first half when the Tigers mounted scoring drives of 61, 23, 56, 64 and 45 yards, while the Generals never got beyond their own 45 yard stripe.

Or maybe they just wanted to thoroughly impress an overflow homecoming gathering estimated at 6,000. Whatever their motivation, the Tigers showed little mercy, on State rival Washington and Lee in recording a resounding 49-0 whitewash.

In hiking their overall record to 5-1 and Old Dominion Athletic Conference ledger to 2-0, H-S registered its widest victory margin since an identical 49-0 blanking of American University in 1931. The Tigers scored the first seven times they had the ball Saturday, five times in the first half and twice after intermission, before the reserves completely took over. H-S's first-team of-, fense was on the field for only one series in the second half. The offensive explosion was a con- tinuation of last week's 44-24 triumph over Liberty Baptist when Tigers scored on all but three possessions two lost fumbles and one punt. While the hosts' led by the passing of senior Dale Murks (13-20-0 for 152 yards) and West Point's Francis Varboncouer, (4-5-1 for 41 yards) was putting on Its show, the defense was also grabbing a piece of the spotlight by holding the Generals to 137 yards total, including just seven net yards in 36 rushing attempts.
