McEachern leads the team in tackling, and Wallace is in the fore on "big plays." Defensively, N.C. State is described by Peterson as "strong and sound." Ron Carpenter, the 6-5, 255-pound tackle, was an All-American last year, had his best game of this season last week against Houston.

MIDDLE GUARD George Smith, 209, is a quick, capable one. "The secondary," says Peterson, "figures as one of the best we go against. This is an experienced defensive unit, with nine starters back from last year. Nobody has really run over this bunch." The Wolfpack does a liberal amount of blitzing with its linebackers, and Houston last week found the draw play frequently effective. Defensive back Gary Yount, the punter, is averaging 41.3 after 48 boots.

Mike Charron is 9-for-10 on point-after kicks, 8-for-14 on field goals. Like FSU, the Wolfpack has (Continued on Page 11) FSU 7 21 13 7 14 0 14 28 0 10 48 STATE 13 13 20 THE SCOREBOARD FSU FOE 24 Wichita State 16 Miami 4 Florida 38 Tulsa 20 Miss. State 34 S.

C. State two of the last three times out, Florida State's football team scrambles to avert another turnover by the defending Atlantic Coast Conference champions here this afternoon. The kickoff for this regionally televised (ABC) hassle comes at 1:20, earliest ever in Campbell Stadium.

That's ONE-TWENTY officials of Florida State have been anxious to ring a bell with the correct kickoff time because the Seminoles usually start afternoon games at 2:00. The game will be televised in Tallahassee over WCTV. Bill O'Connell, the regular broadcasting voice of baseball's Baltimore Orioles, will be handling the play-byplay, with Tom Nugent, former Florida State head coach now a Miami TV sportscaster, assisting as "color man." A crowd of about 27,000 is expected to turn out. The weather should be "football perfect" for these parts, blue skies, little wind and temperature of around 68-70. Florida State, 5-2-1, is favored over the 34-1 Raleigh representatives, but the potential for an upset is ominously and abundantly present.

THE SEMINOLES are just off a burning 28-26 loss to Memphis State, a setback that cost them a bowl bid and probable rank in the nation's top 20. "In such circumstances," says Coach Bill Peterson, "you have to worry about your team being as ready as it might otherwise be. Practices this week haven't been the best. That loss hit all of us hard. We're playing a good football team, one that was expected to have a much better record at this stage than it has and one that could rather easily right now be 7-1 or 6-2 instead of 34-1." Coach Earle Edwards' team tied Duke 25-25, lost an opener to Wake Forest by a point (22-21), fell to South Carolina by five (21-16), yielded to Miami by ten (23-13) and Houston by 21 (34-13).

N. C. State's offensive forte is the running game, straight power much of the time spiced with options, reverses and the difficult-to-stop scissors play. A simple explanation of the scissors play is a fake run off one tackle and a real run off the other. It's something like a draw play, in that it lures the defense to the wrong place.

"In every game," says FSU linebacker Bobby Jackson, "they've broken that play for big yardage, or almost have." Dwight Moody, a quick quarterback, keeps the ball himself about one-fourth of the time, has a knack for the big play. Despite 159 yards lost on his maneuvering, mainly on pass efforts, he's averaging 2.6 yards after 107 keeps. CHARLIE POWERS is a 200-pound senior running back with The Yardstick Injured Arm went seven games without an interception before Houston plucked four last week. The offensive line is big, experienced. Guard Don Jordan (249) is particularly tough.

Peterson corps has been a tough one to run against this season. In fact, it permitted only 360 yard total rushing to seven opponents, and has thrown opposing ball carriers for losses totaling 330 yards. Bethune lost just one player from last year's defensive unit. Middle guard Winston Mack is the playmaker. The 210-pounder is light on his feet and has averaged eight tackles per game.

"We're 18 point underdogs and rightfully so," says B-CC assistant coach Bud Asher, "but we didn't come up here to lose. "The coaches and players feel that whenever we go on the field we can give somebody a good game and we feel like we can give Jake a good game. "I just hope Jake will take it easy on little old us," Asher added with a smile. Wilcox THE STARTERS BETHUNE-COOKMAN FLA.

Sophomore Cochrane fired two scoring passes to tie George Mira's school record of 10 in one season, but it was a succession of unconventional touchdowns that made it a rout. Miami improved its record to 4-5 with a Nov. 29 date remaining against Gator Bowl-bound Florida.

Wake Forest finished its season at 3-7. Miami halfback Tom Sullivan gave a sign of events to come when he took a pitchout from Chohrane, came to a dead stop and threw a 38-yard TD bomb to Dave Kaline. That made it 14-0 early in the second period. Bobby Best faked cornerback Terry Kuharchek to the ground on a swing pass from Cochrane and zipped up the sideline 45 yards to make it 21-0.

Normally, the Wolfpack scorns the pass but surprises with it often enough and well enough, hitting on 10 of 14 and 11 of 16 in successive games against South Carolina and Edwards performance against Southern last week, is limiting foes to just 14.1 points per game. Leaders are end Melvin Rogers, linebacker Raymond Wilcox and cornerbacks Leroy Charlton and Otis Collier. Bethune-Cookman runs a fairly balanced offense, but has generated a somewhat better passing game with a pair of sophomore quarterbacks, Charles Barnes and Jim Peterson, calling signals. Halfback Alfred Hayward and fullback Willie Benjamin carry the load of the Wildcats running attack. Hayward has carried 63 times for 369 yards and caught 13 passes for another 160.

The Hurricanes took over at the Wake Forest nine-yard line and shoved quickly in to the end zone on a three-yard run by Sullivan. Wake Forest averted a shutout in the fading moments when Ken Erickson hit running back Ron Jurewicz on a 19-yard touchdown pass. Cochrane hit on 16 of 30 passes for 208 yards. The first year man has 101 for 198 since taking the starting quarterback job in Miami's fourth game, gaining 1,450 yards. 118-106 Chicago, picking up with one second left to go in regulation time.

But there was nothing close about Friday night's outcome as the Hawks restored their record to 13-5. They had six players in double figures, led by Bill Bridges with 27 and Joe Caldwell with 26. Caldwell flipped in 12 of his points in the second quarter when the Hawks went ahead 58-50 and then rushed in seven quick ones in the third quarter after Detroit had outscored the Hawks 15-3 and had pulled within two points of a tie. to fullback Bert Cooper, who just did get first down yardage. The rest of it came off tackle and up the middle while the clock ticked away precious seconds.

On third and goal from the Tiger two, Maynard followed perfect power sweep blocking into the end zone. However, while jubilant Florida High players were signalling "touchdown," the head linesman was picking up his flag and pointing a finger at Gould's face guard. No one really stopped anyone else all evening, as clearly indicated by Florida High's 208 yards rushing and the Tigers' equally impressive 213. Loses 10-5 adel unable to complete four passes in the last minute of the game after getting the ball at the Moccasin 35. Field goals by each team were the only scoring in the first half.

Chattanooga's Jim Cooper kicked one from the 27 in the first quarter and Jim Leber of The Citadel tied the score with a kick from the 31 with just over a minute left in the second period. By JIM CHITWOOD Democrat Sports Writer Florida once-beaten Rattlers go gunning for their third victory in a row tonight against always upset-minded Bethune-Cookman. While the rivalry between these two state schools is a heated one, the Rattlers have prevailed in 18 of 19 meetings over the years. In fact, the only time the Wildcats have gone away victors was in 1952, and then by just a slim 8-7 margin. A crowd of some 12,000 fans is expected for the 7:30 kickoff in Bragg Stadium.

The Rattlers' are a solid 18-point favorite, but Coach Jake Gaither looks toward a slightly tougher clash after escaping with a 23-20 victory a year ago. "If that game is any indication of what may happen," said Gaither, "Its going to be tough." For Bethune-Cookman, now 4-2-1, it is the final game of the season and would be a feather in the Wildcats' helmet should they knock off the Rattlers at home. But that's something they have never before accomplished. The Rattlers, ranked 18th among the nation's small colleges, bring a 5-1 mark into the game. The only loss was to Tennessee State.

Still on the FAMU schedule are Tampa next week and Grambling in the Orange Blossom Classic Dec. 6. The teams have three opponents in common this season. The Wildcats lost to Morris Brown, beat Alabama and tied South Carolina State. The Rattlers, however, beat the trio going away.

Quarterback Steve Scruggs, the junior southpaw who is fast closing in on a couple of passing records directs the attack. He's completed 63 of 130 attempts for 893 yards and six touchdowns. Scruggs is just 11 short of the attempt mark and 37 shy of the completion record with three games still to go. Flanker Kent Schoolfield has been Scruggs' top target grabbing 16 for 201 yards but halfback Glen Edwards, a dangerous catcher, is back in action after being sidelined for two games. On the ground the Rattlers have the one-two punch of halfback Hubert Ginn and fullback James Owens.

Owens gained over 100 yards rushing against Southern last week and for the year has carried 66 times for 269 yards. Ginn, a slippery 195 pounder, is the No. 2 rusher and pass-catcher. He has 231 yards on the ground and had 172 yards in 15 catches.

It skipped off the fingertips of Kaline and two Demon Deacons into the hands of Ray Bellamy, who walked into the end zone on the 66-yard play. Wake Forest's night of horror was climaxed when Miami punter Pat Barrett bobbled the ball Hawks Win DETROIT (AP) The Atlanta Hawks, who had a victory taken away earlier in the day when a National Basketball-Association protest by Chicago was allowed, wasted no time in getting the triumph back by thumping the Detroit Pistons 118-106, Friday night. The Hawks' 124-122 victory over Chicago earlier in the month became a 124-124 tie when the NBA ruled that a last second Chicago basket beat the clock.

C. (AP) Defensive play by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga was better than The Citadel's defense Friday night, and the Moccasins won a non-conference football game, 10-5.

Citadel quarterback Tony Passander was held in check much of the night by the Chattanooga defense and completed only eight of 27 passes. The game, played in temperatures in the 30s, ended with The Cit Demons Stunned in By Jefferson County Final 1 8-1 4 So dominant were both offenses, the game was marked by only two punts both by Florida High and they came in a scoreless first period. Jefferson County had not been billed as an effective passing team, but got excellent mileage out of its only completion of the night. It went 34 yards from quarterback Dennis Roddenberry to halfback Blair Armstrong, and put the Tigers ahead, 6-0, on the second play of the second quarter. Florida High took the kickoff and marched right back to a tying touchdown, but missed a chance to go ahead when Gould's soccor-style placement just missed.

Big play of that 60-yard march in nine plays was a 23-yard pass completion from Gould to split end Jim Garland. The Demons went the final 17 through the air, too, with (Continued on Page 10) Florida High 0 14 0 0-14 Jefferson Co 06 Jeff. Co. Armstrong 34 pass from Roddenberry. (run fail) Fla.

Cone 6 run (run fail) By EARL RICKEY Special to the Democrat MONTICELLO John Cone dazzled Florida High with his speed, and Harry Maynard bulldozed his way through Jefferson County's defense almost at will here Friday night. Neither, however, played as vital a role in the Tigers' 18-14 upset victory as the small, plastic mouthpiece attached to George Gould's helmet. Florida is one of the few states which requires its high school football players to wear the teeth-protecting device at all times. It proved a costly safety measure for the Demons when Maynard's two-yard touchdown run with 45 seconds left was called back on the rarest of all 15-yard penalties. An official had noticed Gould's mouthpiece pop out of his mouth as he backed away from the play.

Maynard gained the end zone just about the same time the red flag hit the ground, and the Demons' gallant race against the clock ended. Florida High had yielded Jefferson County's third touchdown just before starting a dramatic drive at its own 41 with 6:05 left on the clock. Moving off the Notre Dame -iTirti Ifch lit!
