Mighty East Carolina Rolls? 44-14 Wins Southern Title howl comparable to the Tangerine Bowl. Still, no representatives from a bowl were present at the game. The day belonged to East Carolina; and if luck was on anyone's side, it stayed with the Pirates who saw the ball bounce their way most of the game. However, they also had plenty of talent and put the game virtually out of reach in the first half when they blitzed to a 30-7 lead. The offensive giants for East Carolina, as expected, were senior quarterback Carl Summerell from Virginia Beach and senior tailback Carlester Grumpier from Wilson, N.C.

If not, the Pirates may be building a long dynasty under Coach Sonny Handle. That was apparent Saturday as East Carolina crushed Richmond, 44-14, to wrap up its second consecutive SC title. The triumph gave Randle, last year's "coach of the year," a scintillating 15-2 record in the Southern. It also extended the Pirates' loop winning skein to 14 games.

The 21,251 record crowd couldn't have received a better homecoming reward than the impressive show their heroes put on in the 40-degree bone-chilling weather. The victory was also the 11th straight for the Pirates at home. With the convincing triumph and its 8-2 record, East Carolina should now be in good position to nail down a berth in a post-season honors, completed It of 15 passes for 167 yards and three touchdowns and gained 28 yards rushing on five carries. His six-point strikes were to split end Vic Wilfore (68 yards), flanker Stan Eure (13 yards), and tight end Mike Shea from the 2. The bits by "Super Carl" put him in a tie with John Casaz.a for career completions with 185.

While the dandy Virginia Beach lad wasn't riddling the previously-vaunted Richmond defense in the Crumpler was devastating at times on the ground. He wound up with 142 yards rushing on 27 carries and a 41-yard touchdown gallop. Sharing the center stage for the winners was junior Jim Woody, who booted field goals of 46, 44, and 31 yards in the second quarter. The three goals tied a conference mark and gave Woody an ECU school record. Both Richmond's touchdowns came on long passes from quarterback Harry See Richmond, D-9, Col.

Last week at home, Virginia was scoring at will, rolling up 44 points against North Carolina, but it was a new script at Byrd Stadium before 22,300. The Cavaliers were unable to get a running game un-tracked and Maryland's secondary intercepted three passes from Scott Gardner, who suffered one of his poorest days at quarterback this season. Actually, Virginia was lucky to come out of the first; half trailing only 10-0. The Terps, 6-3 and 4-1 in the ACC, controlled the ball for 50 plays and 286 yards to just 26 plays and 170 for the Cavaliers.

In going down to a 4-6 record and 3-3 in the conference, Virginia gave up 392 yards on the ground, which was the most rushing for Maryland since 1954 when the Terps ran for 492 yards against Missouri. The Terps' total offense was 512. Virginia, which didn't register a first down until midway in the second period, ran and passed for just 246 yards and 10 first downs. Gardner completed only five of 14 passes.

Despite a miserable 2-9-1 record in his month-long career in Detroit, the fiery Garvin is regarded as on of minor league hockey's top coaches.

He took Port Huron to the International League finals five times in seven years. He previously coached nine of the present Virginia players. Ken Murray stepped onto the ice from the penalty box, took a pass from Herb Boxer to put Virginia ahead, 2-0, in the last period. The shutout went to Bill McKen.ye, one of the Wings who played for tiarvin last year. Rookie Median Bonner, who shows signs of becoming the steadiest of the new Red Wings, finally broke a scoreless tie with two minutes to play in the second period.

His power-play goal was the first in five periods for the beleaguered Wings.
