Vandy's NEW ORLEANS (AP) Vanderbilt Coach George Maclntyre had a warning for his school's next seven opponents: His quarterback, Kurt Page, is going to get better and better. Page threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns Saturday night to lead Vanderbilt, 2-2, to a 30-17 victory over Tulane, 2-3, in a televised college football game. "In our offensive scheme, he can complete a lot of passes if he finds the right receiver," Maclntyre said.

Page's most effective pass Saturday night was a little underhand shovel job to one of his running backs, the ball thrown between onrushing linemen. "The shovel pass was tough," said Tulane Coach Wally English. "It seemed like every time we had them down, they came back with a shovel pass and did a How Top 20 fared How the Top 20 In the Associated Press college football poll fared Saturday: No. 1 Nebraska (SO) beat Syracuse 63-7.

Included in English's completions was a 3-yard touchdown pass to Larry Route in the fourth quarter. Kelvin Robinson scored on a 3-yard run in the first quarter, and Tony Wood booted a 43-yard field goal that tied the game briefly at 10-all late in the second quarter.

Vanderbilt's defense, dented for an average of 30 points a game coming into Saturday night's contest, twice stopped Tulane on late drives. Midway through the final quarter, Vandy stopped three runs from a yard out with cornerback Willis Perry making two of the stops. It was a prime third-down weapon for Vanderbilt, which converted 5 of 5 third-down situations on its opening drive and 12 of 18 for the night. Page, the nation's second most productive collegian, also ran four times for 14 yards to place him just a notch below his total average of 301 yards a game. His touchdown throws came on an 8-yard toss to Chuck Scott to cap the game's opening drive, a 17-yard pass to Phil Roach in the second quarter and a 9-yard toss to Scott again in the third quarter.

But "it's always good to win a football game," said Majors. Majors praised his defenders and said the game provided an opportunity to give his reserves some playing time. The Volunteers held the Bulldogs to 8 yards net rushing, but The Citadel's aerial attack, led by the throwing of Robert Hill and Lee Glaze, still managed to pile up 219 yards.

Tennessee had a total offense of 508 yards to The Citadel's 211. "We still need to do a better job of getting the ball into the end zone," said Majors in what was probably a reference to the Vols' inability to get the ball past The Citadel's goal line on several occasions during the afternoon. Tennessee was inside The Citadel 20-yard line on two of its first three possessions, but had to settle for two first-quarter field goals by Fuad Reveiz. Reveiz scored almost one-third of Tennessee's points with four field goals and three extra points. The Citadel, a Southern Conference and Division I-AA member, fell to 1-3.

The Southeastern Conference Vols, who leveled their record at 2-2, put the game out of reach in the second quarter by scoring three touchdowns and another field goal to take 29-0 halftime edge. At the half, Tennessee had rolled up 306 yards while The Citadel had 57. The Volunteers scored two of their second-quarter touchdowns on Alan Cockrell passes, the first a 39-yarder to Clyde Duncan and the second a 5-yarder to John Cook. Junior running back Johnny Jones of Munford added a 41-yard touchdown run that began as a delay over right guard. Jones broke one tackle at the line of scrimmage and ran untouched into the end zone.

The Citadel's Greg Davis narrowed the score to 29-3 early in the second half with a 34-yard field goal. Reveiz struck again form 43 yards out after Tennessee moved 52 yards in 12 plays before being stopped three times at The Citadel 10. Chuck Coleman took a pitchout, skirted left end and scored for Tennessee in the closing minutes of the third period. Re veiz's extra-point attempt was blocked, and the score stood at 38-3. Tennessee moved 56 yards in six plays on their first fourth-quarter possession before sophomore running back Sam Hen-Tjerson dragged several Citadel defenders mto the end zone to widen the margin to 45-3.

The Citadel finally score again with less than a minute to go in the game when Davis kicked a 23-yard field goal. I CARROLLTON, Ga. Tennessee-Martin field goal kicker Keith Kasnic set an NCAA Division II record Saturday night, but that wasn't enough to lift the Pacers past West Georgia, the Gulf South Conference's newest entry. The Braves downed UTM 20-18, using their own kicking game to secure the victory. West Georgia is 2-2 overall and 1-1 in GSC play.

UTM is 14, 1-1. The Pacers, trailing 20-12 with less than three minutes remaining, almost pulled out a tie. Senior quarterback David Carter of Camden threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to senior flanker Trace Overton with 1 18 left to play. On the 2-point conversion try, however, Carter was stopped at the 2 on an option run. Kasnic, a 5-foot-9, 155-pound sophomore from Oxford, Ohio, nailed a 39-yard field goal with 1:49 remaining in the second quarter to set the record for consecutive field goals in a career (13).

His boot cut UTM's halftime deficit to 14-10. The Pacers had taken a 7-0 lead when Tony Champion of Humboldt returned the game's opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. But West Georgia roared back with two first-period TDs. Harold Long ran 9 yards for the Braves' initial score with 4:33 left. Then Kenny Rebels returned a punt 61 yards with 3:03 remaining for the second touchdown.

Rob Rice kicked both extra points, warming up for his game-winning second-half performance. UTM made it 14-12 midway through the third quarter when sophomore Romel Andrews of Ripley tackled Rebels in the end zone for a safety. Rice put the Braves on top 17-12 with a 24-yard field goal with 1:24 left in the third period. He then provided the eventual winning points with a 39-yard field goal with 2:51 left in the game. UTM passed for 206 yards.

Carter completed 12 of 29 passes and threw two interceptions. Sophomore Kenny Golden completed 2 of 3. Champion was UTM's leading receiver, gaining 79 yards on three catches. Overton had five grabs for 36 yards. Stanley Ladd led the Pacers' 59-yard rushing attack with a net gain of 45.

Junior linebacker Gary Ihnen paced UTM's defense with one solo tackle and nine assists, three for losses. Junior free safety Jerry Reese of Tiptonville had a pass interception, three solo tackles, seven assists and three pass deflections. AP Lawphoto Memphis State's Tim Harris (97) and Cedric Wright tackle bounced back to throw three touchdown passes and run for Alabama quarterback Walter Lewis for a 5-yard loss. Lewis another score in the second half. Tide's big second half buries Tigers Alabama made it 10-3 at halftime on a Tiffin field goal, and the Tide took control in the second half, scoring 41 points while holding the Tigers, 1-3, to a field goal.

Fumble recoveries by Rodriquez at the 11 and Emanuel King at the 9 led to two scores, and a pass interference call in the end zone put Alabama at the 1, from where Lewis took it in. Lewis' three scoring passes tied a mark held by several Alabama quarterbacks. Linnie Patrick ran for 68 yards on 18 carries against Memphis State, while Jeff Womack led the Tiger runners with 37 yards on 11 tries. Lewis ran for 27 yards, and his total production of 183 gave him 902 in four games. He needs 522 more to become Alabama's all-time offense leader.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) It took what Alabama players called a personal insult a 10-3 halftime deficit to get the Crimson Tide moving Saturday Once that happened, Alabama rallied behind the passing of Walter Lewis to overwhelm Memphis State 44-13 in a non-conference football game. "It was like a slap in the face, us being behind to them," said nose guard Mike Rodriquez. Coach Ray Perkins said Alabama had "great effort in the second half from everybody who put a foot on the field." Coach Rex Dockery of Memphis State was a little miffed that Alabama kept Lewis on the field after the issue was decided and that the Tide kicked a field goal while leading 41-13. Lewis, Dockery said, "is a great player.

It looks like Coach Perkins tried to use him to make sure he could do well I hope they got enough points." Was Dockery upset about Alabama's last field goal? "As I say, there'll be other days down the road. They've got to come to Memphis in two years," he answered. Perkins said he ordered the last field goal, a 51-yarder by Van Tiffin that set a school record, because Alabama might need one from that distance to win another game down the line. Lewis hit on scoring strikes of 7 yards to Joey Jones, 36 to Greg Richardson and 8 to Joey Smith. He connected on 12 of 19 passes as sixth-ranked Alabama ran its record to 4-0.

Memphis State jumped to a 10-0 lead on a 27-yard field goal by Don Glosson and a 4-yard pass from Danny Spark-man to Ricky Sparkman. Greg Montgomery set up the touchdown by recovering a fumble at the Alabama 2..
