(AP) Clarence Cuipepper's 87 yard touchdown run with an inter- cepted pass turned the game around and Virginia Tech's tough defensive unit took ft BUACKSBURG, Va.

Paaes 8-18-0 Punts 9-28 9-39 Fumbles lost 2 1 Yards Penalized 40 95 from there Saturday as the Techmen posted a 31-7 football victory over William and Mary's Indians.

The stolen aerial in the second quarter came as William and Mary, driving on the Tech 16, geemed about to equalize or sur- pass a 19-yard field goal in the first period 'by the Techmen's Jon UtitL Then the Golbbleri put the out of reach with two touchdowns early in the final quarter--the first after a Sag penalty nullified an Indian fumble recovery and the second after Ron Davidson ran, 54 yards to the WM 11 with an inter- cepted pass. Culpepper's interception was tomewhat ironic. Up to that point the Indians had been giv- ing the Tech secondary a fit with their passing attack. Mike Madden and Dan Darragh at that stage had completed 10 of 14 passes for 73 yards. The 190 pound senior line- backer was one of three Tech defenders on the spot to which Madden threw.

He broke down the right sideline, got a block at the WM 20 from Mike Widger that eliminated the last India and romped into the end zone untouched. Tech had looked good on of- fense only once in the first half en a 64-yard march 1iat set up Ulin's field goal. Even then, however, Tech could gain only two yards in three plays with a first down at the WM 5. Late in the third period Wil- liam and Mary appeared to hav a break when it recovered a Tech fumel on the Techmen's 48 but the Indians drew a holding penalty to the 16 and Ken Ed- vrards went nine yards for a icoro on the first play of the last quarter. Less than two minutes later, Davidson's interception set up another Tech score, and the Techmen got on the Scoreboard again with 23 seconds left after still another interception--this one by defensive end George Foussekis.

William and Mary's only came on an 80-yard drive late in the last period on which Darraugh hit 6 of 10 passes for 72 yards, the payoff a seven- yard toss to Ted Zychowski.

(AP) Linebacker Lon Austin's goal line fumble recovery and Bill Nossek's 49-yard touchdown pass to Ossie Cain powered Kansas State to a 17-7 victory over Colorado State University Saturday. It was Kansas State's first football triumph in 21 games. The Big Eight Wildcats last tasted victory with a 17-14 con- quest of Oklahoma State in 1964.

They tied Kansas 3-3. A freak bounce of a Kansas State punt that landed in the CSU end zone and sailed back to the two opened the way for Kan- sas State's first touchdown. On the first scrimmage play, Colorado State quarterback Jer- ry Mointiel fumbled and Austin recovered. On the second play, Corny Davis plunged over right guard for the touchdown.

(AP)-- Cale Yarborough will lead the "Stop Richard Petty' contingent here Sunday when the green flag falls for the start of the 12th annual Old Dominion 500 stock car race at Martinsville Speedway. The Charlotte, N.C., driver, who pilots the 1967 Ford Fair- lane owned by the Wood Bros, of Stuart, says practice last week at the track and top- notch handling in the car helped lim clinch the pole position for the $25,390 race. His speed was a record 77.786 miles per hour.

Petty, for whom luck has been a constant companion in 25 wins this season--including the last eight in a row--had trouble just making the field. He blew one engine attempt- ing to qualify, trundled off to his garage to install another one, and came back fast enough to place fifth on the starting grid with a speed of 76.595 m.p.h. Even so, the Randleman, N.C., driver is heavily favored to win the 500-lap race over the half- mile asphalt oval here. He cap- tured the Virginia 500 here in April after a race-long duel with Yarborough. For what it's worth, Petty has won the spring race four times --more than any other driver-- but no Plymouth has ever crossed the finish line first in the fall race.

Fords have finished first seven times in the 11-year his tory of the Old Dominion 500, eluding the last five straight Race time is 1 p.m. with a field of 40 cars expected, includ- ing most of the big names in R. E. Lee Edges Sacred Heart, 6-0 In Loop Opener R. E.

Lee Junior High open- ed its 1967 football campaign Saturday morning with a 6-0 victory over Sacred Heart. The game, played on the GWHS Field, was the opener of the Junior High League. Halfback Ray Setliff scored the lone touchdown of the con- test with a 23 yard romp mid- way the second period. A run- ning play for the extra point was stopped short. The Generals, with a fine- looking squad of around 50 youngsters, were pre-game fav- orite over the young Red Raid- ers, playing this year.

This is the first time Sacred Heart has fielded a football team. How- ever, the Red Raiders, about 30 strong, more than battled their rivals even on defense. Both appeared a bit jittery and fumbles were frequent. Neither was able to make much headway with an air attack and most of the yardage was picked up with hard-knocking ground attacks.

C. Wl An alert Citadel football team converted a "busted" play and a fumble recovery into touch- downs and won its first game of he season 17-7 over Woflard Saturday night. Junior quarterback Jay Gools- jy scored in the first quarter for the Bulldogs on a 26-yard run which capped an 84-yard drive.

Coach Red Parker said the run was on a "busted" play which was supposed to go to the left, but Goolsby went to the right and into the clear. In the third quarter, which was primarily a defensive strug- ble with each team punting three times, The Citadel was charged with interference on a aunt reception by the Wofford Terriers, and was penalized 15 yards to its 31. Don Sykyn punt- jd again, Wofford fumbled, and Eullback Mike Cassidy recov- ered on the Wofford 38. On the next play fullback Jim McMil- lan went 38 yards over left tackle for a touchdown. The Citadel led 10-0 at half- time when Jim Ghagan kicked a 31-yard field goal two seconds before intermission.

North Carolina opened the game with a great display of strength by moving 80 yards for a touchdown.

Fullback Tom Dempsey dashed around left end for the tally from 21 yards out. Fair then moved his team 81 yards to set up Jimmy Poole'a 37-yard field goal seconds be- fore the half ended for the Gamecock score. A crowd of 39,135 watched in 65-degree weather as North Car- olina dropped its ninth game in a row and second under new head coach Bill Dooley. Fair steered his team to Muir's go-ahead touchdown the iirst time South Carolina had the ball after the intermission. Halfback Koy Reeves set it off with a 30-yard 'dash from scrim- mage.

Fair passed for 16 to end Fred Zeigler and Muir raced up the middle for 15 in the march. North Carolina managed a field goal at the end of the third quarter, Don Hartig boot- ing it from 24 yards out. He had tried a 52-yarder in the second quarter that was short. Poola tried a 41-yard field goal early in the game but it was wide. Quarterback Gayle Bomar and halfback Dave Kiggs kept North Carolina in the driver's seat during the first half their running.

Riggs dashed for 17 yards and Bomar passed to him twice for five-yard gains in the visitors' 81-yard touchdown march. North Carolina's field goal was set up by a South Carolina fumble at the South Carolina 28, Ken Price falling on the loose ball. Hartig made a fourth down 35-yard field goal, but South Carolina was offside and North Carolina took the penally in- stead, hoping to end up with a touchdown instead of three points. But the Tar Heels couldn't gain and Hartig then booted his shorter three-pointer. North Carolina tried in vain to get a tying touchdown, but lost the ball on downs inside its 20 with seconds Ipft.
