They played good football, but the poor condition of the field and the yellow flags hurt us. "It was a tough defensive game," added Smith. Bethel Coach Dennis Kozlowski also was critical of the playing conditions and penalties. "We could never get the big play. We had three or four opportunities but we threw the ball into covered areas or we got a penalty for being offside." The Bruins penetrated to Hampton's 14 midway through the second period.

Their effort was stalled by an offside infraction and then killed by Hampton's Alton "Niece" Bell when he intercepted a Bethel pass at the Crabbers' 10. Asked if he felt his club had gained a moral triumph because of the tie Kozlowski "No A tie is like kissing your sister. It's nice to see her, bUt." Bethel was to reach Hampton territory two more times before Intermission and twice during the final 24 Hampton also was to come away frustrated during the second half, especially in the fourth quarter.

"Sure it wasn't very pretty or exciting but it was a win," Root continued. "We've been pressing awfully hard lately. Not too many things have gone our way since the Tech game. but we can't do anything but get better from here." Despite an exceptional number of missed tackles (especially in the first half), Root praised the overall play of his defense.

"Whenever you give up just eight points the defense has done the job and you should win," Root added. The Tribe defenders had to come up with several stellar plays in the closing minutes to preserve the victory. The Citadel gained possession for the last time when safety Paul Gillis intercepted a Tom Rozantz pass at the Bulldog 2 with 4:06 on the clock. In five plays, the visitors were at the 34 with just under two minutes left in the game. The big play was a third down at the 18 when Marty Crosby hit tight end Orion Rust over the middle on a pass play covering 36 yards to the 46.

Still, when junior fullback Alvis Lang burst off the right side for a 21-yard scoring run with 8:39 lefj, the Indians assured themselves of nothing worse than a break-even season. They are 5-3-1 with two games remaining.

The other contest pits First Colonial of Virginia Beach against Norfolk's Norview Pilots Saturday night in Norfolk's Foreman Field.

What Saturday afternoon's tie did to Hampton was to stop its 23-game winning streak. Slightly over 8,600 spectators saw both Bethel (7-2-1 and 6-1-1) and Hampton waste scoring opportunities under the weight of stellar defenses and penalties. Hampton had the best shot at putting points on the' scoreboard when Pedro Phillips recovered a Bethel fumble on the Bruins' 10 with 3:44 remaining. No sooner had the Crabbers gained possession of the ball, than they found themselves faced with a fourth-and-49. Two 15-yard clipping penalties and losses of five and six yards, killed the Crabbers' last effort.

Last week, they took a 32-0 licking from Alabama. Not since 1951 have the Gobblers been tagged with back-to-back shutouts. The Gobblers moved the ball for 264 yards in offense against Kentucky, but just couldn't put it in the end zone. They reached the Wildcats' 1 on two occasions. With less than five minutes remaining in the first period, tailback Mike Romagnoli tried to bull his way over left tackle from the six inches out but Kentucky All-American linebacker Jim Kovach stopped him dead in his tracks.

(AP) -Quarterback Chuck Fusina scored a touchdown and threw for another, and Matt Bahr kicked a pair of field goals, but it was second-ranked Penn State's defense that smothered fifth-ranked Maryland Saturday in the battle of Eastern college football powers.

"We were playing scared," said 260-pound Bruce Clark, a defensive tackle for the Penn State Nittany Lions. It was Clark, his running mate, Matt Millen; and ends Larry Kubin and Joe Lally, who teamed to stifle Maryland with a minus 32 yards on the ground in a 27-3 victory in the nationally televised game? The victory extended through 17 games the longest major college winning streak in the nation. It also was the 16th straight victory over Maryland for Penn State and the 22nd in the 23-game series. The State defense intercepted five passes and sacked two Maryland quarterbacks 10 times.

After Crosby scrambled five yards to the 29 on second down, Havelka came up with another big play, stopping leading rusher Stump Mitchell for no gain. On fourth down, Mitchell tried left end but was smothered by Pete Griffin, Jim Ryan and Steve Shull. With just 40 seconds left, the Indians took over the ball and ran out the clock. The only real defensive lapse by the Indians came with 6:08 left in the second quarter when Crosby lofted a perfect 49-yard scoring strike to flanker Mark Siawson. That came on the first play from scrimmage following a punt.

The Bulldogs attempted to kick the extra point but holder Mike Condon couldn't handle the bad snap and wound up tossing for two points to Tim Gaines. The Indians got on the scoreboard just two minutes before the half ended when Rozantz hit senior tight end Rob Muscaius with a seven-yard pass. Muscaius was not the primary receiver on the play.

The 20-17 defeat West Virginia hung on the University of Virginia Saturday afternoon assured the Cavaliers of their 10th losing season in a row and the 22nd in the last 26 years. Virginia is 2-6, while West Virginia is 2-7. For the Cavaliers, quarterback Chip Mark directed the attack in the final period and it was matter of scoring too little too late. All of Virginia's points came after the Mountaineers led 13-0 at the intermission. Dan Hottowe plunged for both of the' Cavaliers' tallies in the fourth period from the 4 and the 1 following West Virginia's eight-play, 90-yard drive for what proved to be the winning TD midway in the third quarter.

A fumble by the Mountaineers at their 22 set up Virginia' first points in the second half, a 22-yard field goal by Russ Henderson. Mark replaced Mickey Spady at quarterback two plays before the third period ended. In that series, which went into the next quarter' Mark moved the Cavaliers 80 yards in just five plays, the score coming on a second down at the WVU 4. A minute and half later, Virginia regained possession after West Virginia was forced to punt. Again with Mark at the controls, Virginia went from its 44 to the Mountaineers' 33.

Although a 2-7 record certainly does not reflect Richmond's superior efforts in narrow losses to teams like Wisconsin in a rough early-season schedule, the Spiders refusal to quit finally paid dividends with snapping of a three-game losing streak. "That was great," gasped Tait after handing the ailing Tar Heels their fifth toss in eight games.

It certainly was the biggest victory against North Carolina. The Spiders had previously triumphed only once against the Tar Heels since their 13-game series began in 1892. That verdict came in 1940 by 14-13. The victory also could not have come at a better time for Tait, suffering through his fifth consecutive losing campaign.

Ferguson's scoring dash, with five minutes left in the second period, made the score 24-0 at halftime and gave the 192-pound junior speedster from Richmond, J77 yards on just nine carries. Ferguson broke the record of 200 yards set last year by Jerome Heavens against Army when he barreled through the left side for 13 yards on the final play of the third period. It was the 14th of his 18 carries for the game. 1980, Navy never had trailed. But the Midshipmen lost two fumbles in the first minutes Saturday they committed five turnovers in all and fell behind 10-0 on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Joe Montana to Kris Haines, and Chuck Male's 38-yard field goal.

Navy, which led the nation in total defense and scoring defense, had allowed only 35 points all season, never more than 11 in a game. But a three-yard touchdown burst by Heavens at 3:49 of the second period boosted the lead to 17-0, and it was See Ferguson's, D-8, Column i A.
