Vandy Clips By ED TUNSTALL NEW ORLEANS (AP) Substitute quarterback Denny Pain-' ter fired a 73-yard scoring pass to flankerback David Strong in the closing minutes Saturday as Vanderbilt rallied for a 2S-23 football victory over Tulane.

Strong's circus catch and his dash for the touchdown nullified a gallant Tulane effort that had seen the Green Wave forge ahead only seconds earlier on a two-point conversion that paid off. Tailback Doug Matthews put on a spectacular running show for the Conmodores by rolling up 214 yards in 28 carries before he left the game with a leg injury midway in the final pe riod. With less than three minutes left and trailing 20-13 Tulane marched 74 yards for a score with quarterback Rusty Lacha- ussee diving over from the one Lachaussee gambled and fired to tailback Jack Laborde for two points and Tulane led 21-20. But the Commodores came right back with Painter firing far down field and Strong out- leaping two defenders to make the catch and ramble into the end zone for the touchdown. The first half ended 13-13 with Vanderbilt's touchdowns coming on Chris Hauck's 70-yard run with a midair fumble recovery and a 16-yard pass from Painter to end Curt Chesley.

In the first half, Tulane scores came on quarterback Dave Abercrombie one yard plunge and a 92-yard punt return by Joe Bullard. Vandv moved ahead in the third period on an 80-y a march, sparked by Matthews' 66-yard run with Brown going five yards for the score. The victory was Vanderbilt's second in seven outings while Tulane took its sixth loss against one triumph. Matthews, the swirling Van derbilt tailback, lived up beyond advance notices with his running but an apparent wrenched knee on a punt return with eieht minutes left in the fi nal period sent him to the sidelines. Abercrombie thrilled the sparse crowd of 8,675 with his ball carrying.

The 175-pound junior from Seminary, rolled-up 141 yards on 18 trips including his one-yard tote for a touchdown.

(AP)-The University of the South won its first football game of the season Saturday, handing Washington and Lee a 37-21 shellacking in an offense oriented football game. In bringing its record to 1-6, Sewanee relied on long runs and mistakes by and L's offense to blow the game open after a halftime deadlock of 7-7.

Keith Bell tallied two touch downs for Sewanee on runs of 58 and 14 yards, and Bubba Owens burst up the middle for a 76 yard scoring jaunt on Sewanee's first play from scrimmage in the third quarter.

The Raiders, whose all-win ning string was interrupted by a 27-23 loss to New York in last year's championship playoff and a 20-20 tie with Miami this season, take on a young Cincin nati outfit that has dropped four in a row after beginning its second AFL campaign with three straight victories. Paul Brown's Bengals have missed rookie quarterback Greg Cook, who injured his throwing arm after sparking the fast getaway. But Sam Wyche, Cook's replacement, has done a capable job, taking the statistical lead among AFL passers with an n-for-21 performance in last Sunday's 42-22 loss to Kansas City. Tackle Bill Staley and rookie linebacker. Bill Burgey anchor a tough Cincinnati defensive unit that must deal with Raiders' ace Daryle Lamonica, who has fired 20 scoring strikes and leads the league in completions ana passing yardage.

Miami, a 1966 expansion club which has never beaten the Jets, takes on the league's top offensive machine in the third of seven straight home games for New York. Quarterback Bob Griese and running back Jim Kiick, who trigger the Dolphins' attack, go up against a New York defense buoyed by the anticipated re turn of big Verlon Biggs from the injury list. Kansas City's explosive of fense, which overran Cincinnati last week as Warren McVea, Mute uarrett and Robert Holmes combined for 298 rushing yards, shuffles into Buffalo in high gear. Mike Livingston, running the attack in the absence of injured Len Dawson, tired three touchdown passes to complement the ground game against the Bengals. Boston, still winless despite strong showings against San Diego and New York the past two weeks, hopes to sidetrack the Oilers, who kept pace with the Jets by edging Denver 24-21 last Sunday.

The Chargers, whose four-game victory string was snapped by Oakland last Sunday, open a three-game road trip at Denver's Mile High Sta dium. The Western match-up, which could virtually eliminate the loser from title contention, pits Denver's Floyd Little, the AFL rushing leader, against the San Diego aerial combination of John Had! and Lance Alworth. Dooley Praises Vols ATHENS, Ga. (AP) Georgia coach Vince Dooley predicted Saturday that Tennessee will win the Southeastern Conference football championship. "I don't think Ole Miss can stop them," said Dooley, whose Bulldogs lost to both Tennessee and Mississippi.

"I can't remember playing a better defensive team," Dooley said. He said he knew the Vols were tough defensively but the difference in the game, won 17-3 by the Vols, was Tennessee's offen sive line and backs. "We couldn't keep them pinned up they just rammed the ball right down our throats," Dooley said. Tennessee rushed for 386 yards, 300 more than Georgia had been giving up in each game so far this year. Coach Doug Dickey of Tennes see said, "It was a good team effort, the same kind we have been getting each week." Dooley said the Vol offense did a good job of opening holes for their backs.

The game was watched by representatives from six bowls the Cotton, Gator, Liberty, orange, Peach and Sugar. WEYENBERGS JdASSAGIC SHOES FOR MEN TOBY imams Shoe Store 106 E.

After its go-ahead touchdown in the final minutes Vanderbilt refused to gamble on a punt from its 10-yard line. Dan Miller allowed himself to be tackled in the end zone for two points, but the Commodores still had a three-point edge. Tenn. Tech. Win's 23-11 CHATTANOOGA (AP) Tennessee Tech's Larry Schreib-er became the seventh man in collegiate football history to gain over 4,000 yards in rushing Saturday night.

Schreiber ripped through the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga defense for 203 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Golden Eagles to a 23-11 vic tory over the UTC Moccasins. Schreiber, a senior, has now compiled 4,041 yards and still has three games to play in his collegiate football career. Saturday night he was called upon to carry the ball 38 times. He responded by gaming 203 of the Eagles' 249 yards gained on the ground. His first touchdown jaunt cov ered 21 yards.

His two other td's came on one-yard plunges. An oddity of the game was the offensive performance of the Chattanooga team, It was then- best of the season, with quar terback Richard Manning con necting on 14 of 36 passes for 199 yards in the air and the run ning backs gathering 206 yards on the ground. But it wasn't good enough to overcome the brilliant job turned in by Schreiber. Lane Falls 7-6 Lane College fell to Miles College of Birmingham here Saturday night by the score of 7-6. The Dragons recovered the initial kickoff and began an early drive.

Seven plays later, just two minutes into the first quarter, Marcellus Alexander shot across from two-yards out for the score. The attempted conversion failed, and Lane led 6-0. Miles came right back when in the second quarter Joe Jester made a 44-yard run for the marker. The kick for the extra point was good and Miles now led 7-6 for the rest of the game. The loss puts the Dragons re cord at 1-5-1 for the season.

OF HONDA Auburn Defeats Florida 38-12 HARRY KING FAYETTE VILLE Ark. (AP) Quarterback Bill Montgomery, sharper than ever after a two- week layoff, guided Arkansas to touchdowns on five of its first seven possessions as the fourth- ranked Razorbacks whipped Tex as 35-13 Saturday. Montgomery who had not played since an Oct. 11 victory over Bavlor, fired two toucn- downs passes and tailback Bill Burnett added two toucndowns as the Razorbacks jumped off to a 28-7 halftime lead en route to their sixth victory of the season against no defeats. Arkansas, stung by the Aggies' 82-yard scoring drive with the opening kickoff, put together touchdown drives of 91 and 80 yards and then took advantage of two fumble recoveries by defensive end Bruce James to score two more touchdowns in the first half.

Buckeyes Tops Northwestern By JERRY LISKA EVANSTON, III. (AP) Jim Otis scored three touchdowns and became Ohio State's great est rushing fullback, but it took a tricky quarterback, Rex Kern to crank up the top-ranked Buckeyes for a 35-6 Big Ten football victory over out-manned Northwestern Saturday. The Buckeyes, favored by five touchdowns, thundered to their sixth triumph of the season and the 20th in a row since 1967, as Kern demoralized the Wildcats with a deft blend of pass ing and his own keeper sweeps.

The magical OSU quarterback rushed for 94 yards on 12 carries and hit 10 of 17 passes for 117 yards before he left the the game shaken up early in the fourth period. Kern broke the game open late in the first half when he streaked 21, 15 and 12 yards on keepers and passed 15 yards to Larry Zelina in a four-play series which setup Otis' second one vard touchdown smash to move Ohio State ahead 21-0 at halftime. It took Ohio State almost the whole first quarter to break the ice. The Bucks needed to recover a Wildcat fumble and a 27-vard pass from Kern to Bruce Jankowski to drive 57 yards for a 7-0 lead on Otis' one-yard dive with 42 seconds left in the first quarter. Otis moved ahead of Ohio State's fullback career rushing record of 2,162 yards set by Bob Ferguson.

Otis carried 25 times aeainst Northwestern for 127 yards and a career total of 2,261.

Daigneau's passing set up the lone Northwestern touchdown with less than four minutes left on a 10-yard run by Mike Hudson. Daigneau, making his starting debut, completed 22 of 36 for 294. Frisk Falls 12-6 KNOXVELLE (AP) Knox-ville College defeated Fisk University Friday, 12-6, for the Bulldogs' first win in over two seasons.

The unbeaten Cowboys (6-0) had to pull out all the stops in the last quarter to get past New York 25-3 last Monday night It is possible the Dallas boys may have been looking ahead to Cleveland, scene of last December's disaster.

Cleveland (4-1-1) was held to a 21-21 tie by St. Louis in a wild game last Sunday and must keep on winning to assure itself of the Century Division title. Sunday's eight-game schedule marks the midseason mark. All will have played seven of their 14 games by Sunday night. Los Angeles (6-0), the only other unbeaten team, will be at Atlanta (2-4) for a rematch of their Sept 28 game.

The Rams took the first game 17-7. In the only other rematch, the winless Chicago Bears (0-6) will beat Minnesota (5-1) to take on a strong Viking team that has won five in a row since being upset by New York on opening day. The Vikings pass and scored twice himself on short runs, and John Riley kicked two field goals to run up a 25-0 halftime lead impossible for the Gators to overcome despite a strong second half come back. Auburn picked off nine Florida passes, an recora. A record crowd of more than 50,000 saw the sophomore Au burn quarterback throw a sec ond scoring pass in the final Quarter.

For the first 30 minutes oi tne game, the Auburn defenders bot tled up Florida's passing wizard, John Reaves, whose 1,746 yards before the kickoff was the best in the Southeastern Conference, Reaves found the range in the second half, completing 10 pas ses in a row, and finally put the Gators on the scoreboard with an eight yard looper to Tommv Durrance. But Florida was too tar oe- hind and the -Tiger resistance too much to overcome. Reaves did manage to toss another scor ing pass in the last period. Auburn linebacker sonny er- guson picked off three of Reaves passes: Bobby, Strickland and Larry Willingham intercepted two apiece. Together, the Tiger defenders accounted for more interceptions against Florida than the Gators' first six opponents combined.

Ferguson ran his third interception back 11 yards for a touchdown. BIG NEWS OUTBOARDS Irish Clobber Navy Washington (4-1-1). still very much a factor in the Capitol Division behind Dallas, resumes its rivalry with the Baltimore Colts (3-3) after a one-year lapse. Green Bay (4-2), hopes to con tinue its "Pack Will Be Back" campaign at Pittsburgh (1-5). The Packers are clinging to the heels of the Vikings, waiting for another shot at them Nov.

16 in Milwaukee. The Philadelphia Eagles (2-4) come to New York for the first time since Jerry Williams took over as head coach to find the Giants (3-3) still reeling from Monday's blast at Dallas. San Francisco (1-4-1), finally got on the winning side last week at Baltimore and returns home to take on Detroit (3-3) which still is operating with young Greg Landry at quarterback. The New Orleans Saints (0-6) gave Philadelphia a tough fight last week but still haven't brok en into the winner's circle. The Saints move into St.

Louis (2-3 1), which must win every Sun day to remain within shooting distance of Cleveland in the Central Division. Dallas won't need an extra in centive to get up for the game in Cleveland. That 31-20 beating last December still hurts. The Cowboys have the top runner in the league in Calvin Hill and the No. 3 man, Walt Garrison.

As a team they are first total offense, running offense and also in defense against the run. Cleveland has scored almost as many touchdowns on the ground (eight) as in the air (10), using rookie Ron Johnson and then Leroy Kelly who ap pears to be healthy again. If Dallas and Cleveland con tinue to lead their divisions they will play for the Eastern title at Dallas, Dec. 28. If Minnesota and Los Angeles continue to show the way in their divisions they'll play for the Western crown at Minnesota, Dec.
