The Cavaliers are.now 4-5 and 3-2 in the ACC while North Carolina slipped to 3-5 and 0-3 in the conference. Virginia has won 33 games of the 78-game series between the schools dating back to 1892.

(AP) Richmond turned Barty Smith loose on The Citadel and the 235-pound senior ran for 206 yards and three touchdowns Saturday as the Spiders re- mained in the thick of the Southern Conference football race by smashing the Bulldogs 27-0. With Richmond's two top run- ning backs ailing, Smith aban- doned his normal role as a blocker. He carried 28 times, breaking four school records as Richmond--rebounding from last week's upset at Northeast Louisiana--upped its league record to 4-0 and its over-all mark to 7-1. The Citadel, now 0-5 in the conference and 2-7 over-all, crossed midfield only three times against the aggressive Richmond defense. Its deepest penetration was to the Rich- mond 28 late in the final period against Spider reserves.

After two long drives stalled at The Citadel 17, one-on a fumble and the other when Smith was stopped short of a. first down, the Spiders went 86 yards in five plays midway the second period. Harry Knight hit Mike Maho- ney on a 45-yard pass, twice connected with Dinky Jones for a total of 30 yards, Sm.ith bulled over from four yards out. The Spiders had another score 41 seconds later after Bob Loprete intercepted a Gene Dotson pass and returned it five yards to the Bulldogs' 16. It took Smith two plays to score, the touchdown coming from the three.

By the end of the half, Smith had 131 yards on 19 carries and even though he was used spar- ingly after intermission, he set school career records for car- ries and rushing yardage and one-season school marks for touchdowns scored and touch- downs rushing. His llth touchdown running and 12tK in eight games came from a yard out with 4:50 gone in the third period at the end of a 12-play, 86-yard march follow- ing the second half kickoff. Smith was used after that only enough to put him over the 200-yard mark for the game. He now has carried 420 times for 1,789 yards in his varsity career of slightly less than three seasons. The former records were held by Earl Stoudt, who played four years.

The Spiders, with substitutes playing most of the last 25 min- utes, closed out their scoring with a 25-yard field goal by Terry Carter and a 39-yard three-pointer by freshman Johnnie Jon.es. Sophomore John Palazeti had 72 yards on 16 carries for Rich- mond.

With nine seconds remaining; David Malachek's attempted game winning field goal went wide to the right, giving the Yellow Jackets the victory. Hill capped an 80-yard drive in-eight plays with his winning touchdown as he ran over a pair of Duke defenders at the two yard line.

The score gave Tech, now 3- 5, a 12-7 edge after Duke had led 7-6 at the half. It also snapped a three game losing streak for the Yellow Jackets. Duke, losing its in a row and 1-7 for the season, got 181 yards out of exciting fresh- man tailback Tony Benjamin. The speedster also had a 33- yard scoring run nullified by a penalty.

California 14 Utah 36, Arizona State 31 COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)-- North Carolina State fullback Charley Young scored three touchdowns Saturday night as the Wolfpack blasted South Carolina, 56-35, in a non-confer- ence football game. Young's touchdowns were on 5, 13, and l-yard runs for the Atlantic Coast Conference's leading team. The victory was N.C. State's sixth in eight games.

Independent South Carolina, which also had a three-touchdown day by Jay Lynn Hodgtn on runs of 52, 36 and 17 yards, dropped to 4-4. Bruce Shaw and Dave Buck- ey alternated as Wolfpack quarterbacks, mixing passes with handoffs to a fleet corps of backs that chewed up the Gamecock defense Shaw opened the scoring with a one-yard rub in the first peri- od, then threw to Pat Hovance for another tpuchdown before South Carolina got on the board. South Carolina tied the score on Hodgin's two runs in the second period. Stan Fritts, Willie Burden and John Gargano scored the- other State touchdowns. In the final period Casper Carter ran 22 yards for a South Carolina score, and Bass ran a two-point conversion after Ran- dy Spinks went in from a yard out.

A i streaked 70 yards to the end zone for a touchdown with :02 left Saturday afternoon to give Hampden-Sydney's Tigers a come-from-behind 37-34 football victory over visiting Towson State.

Thompson, a receiver, wasn't originally involved in the win- ning scoring play. But, he was on the receiving end of a des- peration pitch when Todd Young, with the clock running out, was stopped at- the Tigers' 30. From there, Thompson, a senior, took the lateral and dashed in for the score. So aroused was the home town crowd that the Tigers' didn't bother with an extra point attempt after the clock had run out. Fans already were streaming onto the field.

The two teams were evenly matched in most statistical de- partments, but the Tigers, be- hind quarterback Donnie Cour- now, more than doubled the visitors' passing yardage.

Taylor, who was given a 20- second respite in the eighth round when Anaya failed to ob- serve the rules of boxing, was knocked down three more times finishing the fight with two savage rights to the jaw. Anaya appeared to throw away his title by his care- lessness in the eighth round after he had dropped Taylor. First he failed to go to a neu- tral corner and then he rested his hands on the ropes, in- fractions which cost him sev- eral seconds.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP)-- Carlester Grumpier rushed for two touchdowns and 160 yards Saturday night as East Carolina trounced William Mary 34-3 in a key Southern Conference football game. Crumpler's tallies were abetted by senior quarterback Carl Summerell, who passed for one score and plunged for another. East Carolina's "Wild Dog" defense kept the Indians from ever mounting a scoring drive. The Pirates started badly as Kenny Strayhorn fumbled on the first play from scrimmage at his own 22.

The Indians recovered, but their offense could not move past the ECU five, and they settled for a 20 yard field goal. After that, it was all East Carolina, though it took the Pirates a while to get their offense going. The key move was the insertion of Grumpier; an all-league player last year who had spent much of the year on the bench watching Strayhorn. Midway through the second period, the Pirates swept 59 yards for the go-ahead touch- down with Grumpier carrying it in from nine yards out. The Pirates added a second touchdown just before the half after Jim Boulding returned a punt 31 yards to the Indian 24.

Six -plays later, Summerell passed to Mike Shea for the score. East Carolina drove 53 yards in the third period to make it 21- 3 with Grumpier plunging in from the one.

(AP) Quarterback Mike Robb threw two touchdown passes and sneaked for another to direct the bowl-hopeful Memphis State Tigers to a 49-16 crushing of Virginia Tech Saturday night in his first starting role. Inserted in the lineup as the Tigers searched for more offen- sive punch, Robb responded by guiding Memphis State to touchdowns on all but one'of the Tigers' possessions in the first half. Memphis State held a 28-10 halftime lead. The victory gave the Tigers a 6-2 record in their drive to at- tract a bowl invitation. The Gobblers fell to 1-8.

Robb kept a yard for a touch- down and threw scoring passes of seven and five yards to flan- ker Bobby Ward, all in the first half. A junior, he completed nine of 16 passes for 133 yards before retiring in the fourth quarter. Gary Bettenhausen spun and Unser's car collided with the careening car.

(AP)-Clem- son, with halfback Smiley Sand- ers blasting yrds in only nine carries, and a defensive unit that intercepted three passes and recovered two fum- bles, crushed Wake Forest, 35- 8, Saturday afternoon in an At- lantic Coast Conference football game. It wasn't even close after early in the first quarter when linebacker Frank Wise picked off a Deacon pass and ran 36 yards for a touchdown. Clem- son then turned a Wake Forest fumble into a three-play, 24- yard touchdown drive, with halfback Toni Mathews getting 21 of them, including the last one. From then on it was a rout. Sanders was used mostly as a decoy during the day, but once he got the ball, he was off and running.

He scored one touchdown with a 71-yard blast off tackle, aided by the perfect downfield block of flanker Craig Brantley. Sanders also kept a couple of other touchdown drives going with important first down runs. Clemson, now 3-1 in confer- ence play, got another touch- down on a 73-yard drive that took only three plays. The big gain was a 52-yard pass from Ken Pengetore to Brantley. Jay Washington scored from eight yards out..
