(AP) Coach George Blackburn said Saturday the decisive 41-6 vic- tory his Virginia Cavaliers over North Carolina "really surprised me." "I though the game would be much closer," Blackburn said. "It proves we can play in the rain." He said his Virginia team had been conservative playing North Carolina State in the. rain "but this time it all fell into place." "North Carolina's defense was conducive to the dive and, split- option play, and we got great blocking from our front wall," he said.

Coach Bill Dooley of North Carolina said Virginia "certain- ly had a good day. It was a very poor game for us. "I take the blame for it," Dooley said. "If we can't go in- to a game with a better mental attitude than that and execute better than we then it is my fault as the coach. I told my squad that I was going to do a better job from now on and I'm going to count on them to do a better job on the field.

This was one of our poorest performances of the season." Dooley said Frank Quayle "is one of the finest backs in the nation. I've said that all along and he proved it here again to- day. "We've proved before that we can bounce back and I am con- fident we will prove it again."

A 34-yard pass from Jack Klebe to Jimmy Lisk and another for 28 yards to Wayne Lewis sparked the drive. Both teams scored in the third period. Duke quarterback Leo Hart connected on a 17- yard touchdown pass to Jim Dearth. State's Mark Capuano partially blocked the kick the Wolfpack led 10-9. A fumble set up State's third- period touchdown.

Hart fumbled and tackle Ron Carpenter re- covered on the Blue Devil 18. Two runs by Hall carried to the five, from where Charlie Bow- ers went over. The passing of Hart kept Duke continually on the move, but fumbles and interceptions proved costly to the Blue Dev- ils. They took the second half kickoff and moved from the 31 to State's one in 11 plays, but on the fourth down Hart failed by inches to get over the line. A 25-yard pass from Hart to Wcs Chessson featured the march.

Hart competed 18 of 37 passes for 189 yards. Bill Asack led the Blue Devils rushing with 83 yards in 29 carrries. Klebe was the big ground-gainer for State, picking up 86 yards in 15 car- ries.

West Virginia Chalks Up 17-0 Win At The Citadel CHARLESTON, S.C.

(AP) West Virginia quarterback Mike Sherwood scored two touch- downs and led the Mountaineers to a 17-0 football victory over The Citadel Saturday. The old rivals played in a cold, driving rain in tempera- tures that got down to 40 de- grees before the game was over. The Mountaineers got their points on a 28-yard field goal by Ken Juskowich and touchdown plunges of two and three yards by Sherwood. But they missed on several opportunities be- cause of the weather. West Vir- ginia fumbled nine times, re- covering three.

The Citadel lost five of its nine bobbles. After moving within scoring range twice in the first period, West Virginia finally scored on Juskowich's field goal. It was set up after the Mountaineers had driven from their 40 in 15 plays, only to bog down in the mud. The Mountaineers cashed one of The Citadel's fumbles in the second period to move ahead 100. Citadel quarterback Tony Passander fumbled a snap from center and Ron Pobolish sprawled on it for West Virgin- ia on the 14.

Eddie Silvcrio got it to the two and Sherwood took it over from there with 4:59 left in the half. West Virginia's final score came in the third period. It was set up by a 48-yard punt return by Pobolish. From the two, Sherwood plunged over in two tires. Juskowich kicked both extra points in addition to his three- pointer, but he also missed field goal attempts of 47 and 48 yards.

The last attempt was blocked by The Citadel's Ken Diaz. West Virginia now is 5-3 Oft the season, The Citadel 4-4. The West Virginia defense jhcltl The Citadel to six yards rushing and 23 yards passing. Because of the trying condi- tions, the usual strong West Virginia running game also found the going rough. Sher- wood, Silvcrio and their matcV could get only 125 yards on lha ground.

The Citadel never mounted a serious threat. West Virginia 3 7 ft-17 (Juikowith FG W. Sherwood 2 iun ort 3 run -S kick').
