Fourth Section Sports News THE DANVILLE REGISTER Features Amusements Fourth Seedon FOUNDED FEBRUARY 1847. NO. 30,262 DANVILLE, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 11, 1973 Nittany Lions Unbeaten Penn State Battles From Behind To Nip N. C. State 35 To 29 STATE COLLEGE, Pa.

(AP) Tailback John Cappelletti's third touchdown of the game, a 27-yard run in the fourth peri- od, fired sixth-ranked Penn State to a 35-29 victory over North Carolina State Saturday and probably saved an grange Bowl bid for the unbeaten Nit- tany Lions. Cappelletti gained 220 yards on 41 carries as Penn State ral- lied from a i4-9 halftime deficit and twice snapped ties in the second half to earn its ninth consecutive victory. The loss was the third in" 10 games for the tenacious Wolfpack. Cappelletti got a lot of help from split end Gary Hayman, who returned a punt 83 yards for a touchdown and set up three other scores with key pass receptions and a 27-yard punt, return. North Carolina State took a 7- 0 lead in the second quarter on a one yard run by Stan Fritts.

After Penn State's Chris Banr kicked a 23-yard field goal, quarterback Bruce Shaw ran five yards for a second North Carolina State touchdown which gave the Wolfpack a 14-3 lead. Before the half ended, how- ever, Cappelletti ran 34 yards for a Penn State score to make it 14-9. In the third period Penn State took the lead for the first time on an eight-yard run by Cappel- letti and Hayman's 83-yard punt return. But Fritts smashed one yard for his sec- ond score and Charley Young ran for a two-point conversion to tie the score at 22-22. Bob Nagle raced 10 yards for a Penn State TD 3:47 into the fourth period and Bahr kicked the extra point to give Penn State the lead again at 29-22, but North Carolina State came right back, with Young racing 69 yards for a touchdown and Ron Sewell kicking the point to tie it again.

Penn State drove 60 yards on six plays for the winning touch- down with 6:22 gone in the final quarter. A 14-yard pass from quarterback Tom Shuman to Hayman gave the Lions a first down at the Wolfpack 36. On third down, Cappelletti broke off the left side, shook off sev- eral tacklers and raced 27 yards into the end zone. A pair of Orange Bowl offi- cials attended the game and in- dicated that a Penn State-Loui- siana State match-up in Miami New Year's night was a virtual certainity. A Cappelletti fumble recov- ered by the Wolfpack Mike Stultz at midfield started NCS on its first touchdown drive, which took eleven plays.

The key play was a 16 yard pass from quarterback Dave Buckey to Fritt's for a first down at the Penn State 9. Fritts carried four straight times cracking over from the one on fourth down. Penn State then drove from its 26 to a first down at the Wolfpack 10, but three running plays netted only four yards and Bahr kicked a 23-yard field goal. It was Bahr's ninth of the season and a Penn State record. Ralph Stringer returned the ensuing yards and with a penalty for pulling the facemask NCS had a first down at the Penn State 13.

Three plays later Shaw scored from the 5 on a quarterback keeper. Sewell kicked the point to make it 14-3. With 11:35 gone in the second quarter Cappelletti cli- maxed an eight play 78 yard drive with a 34 yard touchdown run on a fourth-down and three situation. Bahr's try for the ex- tra point failed and Penn State trailed 14-9. Penn State went ahead for the first time after 3:07 of the third quarter on a nine play 78 yard drive.

They key play was a 40 yard completion from Shu- man to Hayman, who made a sensational catch for a first down at the NCS 30. A flanker reverse to Chick Herd gained ten more, and a first at the 20. Cappealletti gained 12 and' then ran the fifal for a touch- down that sent Penn State ahead 15-14 after a two point conversion failed.

(AP)--' Carl Summerell passed for three touchdowns to lead East Carolina to a 44-14 triumph over Richmond Saturday and its second consecutive Southern Conference championship. A record crowd of 21,251 in Ficklen Stadium saw East Carolina turn a close game in a rout in the second period when the Pirates scored four times, including three field goals by Jim Woody.

East Carolina's first touch- down early in the first period was a foretaste of things to come. SummereH's pass was tipped by ECU'S Mike Shea and caught by Dick Wilfore who ran 68 yards for the score. Richmond Came back to drive 70 yards in eight plays to tie the score with'Harry Knight passing 35 yards to Mike Maho- ney for the touchdown; After East Carolina went ahead 21-7 in the second period, Woody took over and hit on field goals of 46, 44 and 31 yards. The 46-yarder was- an ECU record 'and the total of three tied the ECU record for a game. Carlester Grumpier led the East Carolina rushing with 142 yards in 27 carries, including one touchown romp of 41 yards.

His score tied the Southern Conference season rushing record of 204 points. He has a chance to break it when- East Carolina winds up its season next Saturday against Appala- chian State. Summerell completed 11 of 15 passes for 167 yards while Richmond quarterback Harry Knight was completing 11 of 29 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns.

Quarterback Nic Vidnovic led -the Tar Heels, completing three touchdown passes: It was the sixth loss for North Carolina against three victories. North Carolina scored quickly in the first period after Peng- itore fumbled and Terry Can- trell recovered on Clemson 's 15. Sammy Johnson scored- from the one. But, Clemson took the en- suing kickoff and swept 76 yards with Pengitore hitting Smiley Sanders on a 23-yard touchdown pass. The Tigers went ahead 14-7 early in the second quarter on a nine-yard run by Pengitore to climax a 100-yard drive after the Tar Heels had been stopped inches from the Clemson goal.

The Tar Heels came back to tie it at 14-14 on an eight-yard from Vidnovic to Dick Oliver.

(AP) Young Allan Miller, a non-win- ner in two years on the pro golf tour, battled wind and cold for a 72 Saturday and caught front- running Gibby Gilbert for the third-round lead in the $500,000 World Open. The 25-year-old Miller tied for the lead in this event, that of- fers a record $100,000 to the winner, with a 210 total, three- under-par. He was one-over-par for Saturday's round, which be- gan with the temperature at 27 degrees. Gilbert, the leader since he fashioned a record 62 in Thurs- day's opening round, took a second consecutive 74 and also had a 210 total with five more rounds to play in this 144-hole tournament that ends Nov. 17.

Both leaders played the yard No. 4 course at the Pine- hurst Country Club. The rest of 'the way, they'll play the tough- er par-71 No. 2 course. "I'm still tied for first," said Gilbert, who had a five-shot lead after the first round and led by two at the end of 36 holes.

"If I can just stay within a couple of shots of the top un- til the last round, I'll be hap- py-" He and Miller--no relation to absent U.S. Open champion Johnny Miller--were "the only players in the international field of 240 to be under par after three rounds. Jerry Heard matched par 71--one of the best rounds of the cold, windy day--and was alone in third at 213. Veteran Gay Brewer had a 73 and was alone at 214. The group at 215 included Bobby Mitchell, rookie Tom Kite and Miller Barber.

Mit- a 70, one under par and the best round of any of the.leaders, Kite 74 and Barber 73,. 'Weather conditions were very severe. The leaders teed off in the morning and got the worst of it. The start of the day's play was delayed one-half hour because of frozen greens. All players were heavily bun- dled in layers of sweaters and rain gear.

Many wore woolen stocking caps. Miller borrowed long underwear from a writer friend. Dave Eichelberger drove into a sand trap off the 10th tee. The ball plugged in ice. Chunks of ice flew on the green when he blasted out.

Only a handful of fans showed up for this event, the richest golf tournament the world has ever seen. Lanny Wadkins, from nearby Clem- mons, N.C. and one of the fa- vorites for the title, was play- ing with only his partners and their caddies when he made a hole in one with a seven iron on the 13th hole--the first ace of his career. Even the magnetic Arnold Palmer drew only a dozen or so fans. They agonized with him as he struggled to a fat 77 for 220, seven over par and 10 back of the leaders.

Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino and Tom Weiskopf are not com- peting. Miller, who tied for third a couple of weeks ago in the Sa- hara Invitational, got his share of the top spot by making only one birdie. He started from the 10th tee and bogeyed his first hole, hit- ting his drive into the trees. He also bogeyed the 13th, a par three, when he put his tee shot in the water. But he pulled even with a 30- foot birdie putt on the fifth hole, after playing a beautiful five-iron second shot under the branches of trees.

"Everything is working fine for me," Miller said. "Every- thing is in place. I just hope I can keep it up for another Gilbert's putter, which had kept him on top, suddenly turned as cold as the weather. He'd needed only 51 putts.for the first two rounds, but took 35 in this one. He three-putted twice.

He missed once from six feet to save par. Two more times he missed from eight feet. He made two birdies but had five bogeys. "There's still a long way'to go--more than a full tourna- ment," he said. "I'm in good position." P1NEHUKST.

The deadlock broke two los- ing streaks and left each team with a l-7-l overall record and p-3-1 in the ACC.

Wake Forest entered the game with a seven- game losing streak and Duke had dropped six straight, losing a week earlier at Georgia Tech when Malechek's last-minute field goal attempt was ruled wide.

The Duke late field goal try, Malechek's fourth of the game, was set up when John Hill blocked a Ramsey punt and it went out of bounds on the Wake 21. Ramsey, entering the game as the nation's top punter with a 46.5-yard average, battled a cold wind as he averaged 38.3 10 boots, ranging from 62 yards to 11. Duke had a wide statistical yards running and passing to 119 for Wake Forest, which wound up with minus 'one yard passing, although a pass produced the Deacons' only touchdown. Malechek missed field goal attempts of 52 and 24 yards in the first quarter and a 32-yard- er in the second period. Ramsey was short with a 54- yarder late in the second peri- od, i Mike Bomgardner ran 13 times for 49 yards for Duke, with the Wake Forest- leader Clayton Heath, who netted 61.

Bertram, who hit Mike Thompson for a 12-yard scoring toss earlier in the game, com- pleted three of six passes on the game's final scoring drive for a total of 43 yards. Penhale, the Tigers' split end, thrilled a crowd of 2,000 as he caught the pass deep in the right corner of the end zonen and then straddled the line in tight-rope fashion for the win- ning touchdown. A last-ditch Ram drive ended with :08 left when placekicker Larry Kingsbury missed a 27- yard field goal attempt. Kingsbury had booted field of 55 and 39 yards in the third quarter to give Shepherd a 13-7 advantage going into the final stanza.
