(AP) Wake Forest running back James McDougald scored three second-half touchdowns to lead No. 18 Wake Forest back from an 18-point half-time deficit and to an upset 42-38 win over No.

13 Auburn in college football Saturday. Auburn, which scored all of its points in the first half, threatened in the fourth quarter with the ball on the 3-yard line with just under five minutes left to play. But quarterback Charlie Trotman fumbled and Wake Forest's Carlos Bradley recovered to protect the Deacons' lead. Wake Forest, riding high with its best season in 35 years, boosted its record to 7-1 with the non-conference win. Auburn fell to 5-2 with the loss.

Wake Forest quarterback Jay Venuto led an aerial battle for the Deacons, hitting 23 of 43 pass attempts for 358 yards and one touchdown. But it was McDougald's second half scoring runs of 8, 1, and 4 yards, with the last score coming with 11:22 left to play, that gave the Deacons their win. Auburn opened a 10-0 lead in the first quarter on a field goal by Jorge Portela and a 23-yard touchdown run by James Brooks. Although Alburn opened a comfortable lead in the high scoring first half, the Tigers were beset by penalties, suffering eight walk-offs for 101 yards in the first half and two more for another 30 yards in the second half. Venuto and McDougald set up Wake Forest's first score of the second half with a series of runs and pass plays that put the ball on the eight yard line, where McDougald scurried in for the touchdown.

A sticker that reads "East Carolina 24, North Carolina 24" just wont sell. That's only one element echoing the frustrations felt by fans, coaches and players from East Carolina and North Carolina after their two teams had battled to a 24-24 standoff here Saturday. Jeff Hayes' 47-yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining provided the tying score for Carolina after the Tar Heels had started a drive from their own 30 with 1: 11 left to play. "Nobody likes a tie.

I dont like it and I'm sure East Carolina doesn't like it," commented Carolina coach Dick Crum after the game, "We had decided before the last drive that we would go for the field goal if we got into a fourth and long situation. That kick has got to do a lot for Jeffs confidence." "I'm glad we didn't lose, but we didn't come to tie. You won't see any celebrating in this lockerroom today," said ECU coach Pat Dye. 'Tm very surprised they went for the tie, but 24-24 is better than 24-21. 1 would not have kicked for the tie." But if there's anything of worth in how you play the game, the duel was certainly one to watch.

Both teams played like winners. Carolina built a 21-10 half time lead with the help of a 52-yard touchdown drive in the final 42 seconds of the half. ECU came out in the second half and quarterback Leander Green moved the Pirate wishbone to touchdowns in the third and fourth periods to give the Bucs the lead for the first time in the game, at 24-21 with 7:36 left to play. The Pirate defenses did an admirable Job of containing Carolina's high-powered offense in the second half. But when the Tar Heels got the ball at their own 30 with 1:11 left in the game trailing 24-21, Carolina quarterback Matt Kupec knew something had to be done.

And the senior signal caller did it, all the way to a pass that was dropped at the goal line by flanker Wayne Tucker. Kupec, who broke Charlie Justice's 30-year-old school record for single-season touchdown passes with three on the day, brought the Heels down to the ECU 31 with key completions to Jeff Grey, Mike Chatham and P.J. Gay. Kupec had a pass batted down on first down, and threw incomplete on second down. Then on third down, the quarterback went to the air agairi and found Tucker just ahead of a defender at the goal line.

Kupec lofted the ball for the eft comer of the field and Tucker, who was looking inside, turned back out attempting to make the recpetion. But the ball went in and out to Tucker's hands and fell incomplete. Hayes came on and booted the 47-yarder between the uprights with some room to spare. The Bucs got the ball on an onside kick attempt at the Carolina 41. Green threw incomplete before Vera Davenport came on and tried a 57-yard field goal attempt with four seconds left.

The ball sailed straight for the mark, but fell ve yards deep in the end tone, just short of the tiebreaker. The Tar Heels pretty much controlled the game in the first half. They scored on their first two possessions of the afternoon on drivM of 73 and 91 yards. In between those two possessions, ECU scored a field goal after 72-yard drive to the Carolina 10. The Heels got the ball again late in the first period and marched 60 yards to the ECU 19 where Hayes' 3S-yard field goal attempt early in the second period, was wide.

The Pirates then took the ball and marched 10 yards with halfback Sam Harrell breaking free off the left side and running 15 yards for the touchdown which brought the Pirates back into the game at 14-10. The drive that appeared to put the Bucs right back out of it, started with 42 seconds left in the half with Carolina in possession at their own 4. And again it was Kupec who provided the spark. He fired to Gay for 17 yards to the Buc 18 and, on the next play, found Gay coming across the middle from the right side in the end tone and hit him for the touchdown with rune seconds left. That made it 21-10 in favor of Carolina and, the 296 yards the Heels produced on offense in the first half made it appear they'd never have to lookback.

But the Pirate defenses kept Carolina from getting any closer than the ECU 45 in Carolina's first five possessions of the second half. The Pirate offense did its job starting eariy in the third period. Behind Green's passing and the solid running of the ECU trio of backs, the Pirates drove frotnn their own II to the Carotins a. That's where halfback Anthony Collins took a pitch on the right side and ran around end into the end tone. With Bill Lamm's kick, the Pirates trailed B-17 with 7: 36 left to the third period.

Eariy in the final period, the Bucs took the ball from their own eight- Fullback TVs dare Sot-ton's 24-yard gallop and a key oomptetKM by Green to Davenport for 23 yards sparked the drive to the Carolina 11 Then Green hit Davenport in the left corner of the end tone with 7:3 left in the game to give ECU the 24-a lead. "Our probleni in the second half was we'd dm the ball and get two or three first downs, bat thea we'd have one bad play That constantly put as fa bad position." Crura aid 'Tm glad wa donl have to play Kupec again," Dye said. "Wt got to bun a coo fie of tunas on that last drive, but its a credit to them that be got them tbs tie. I Sank UNC is a fine football team, deserving of their national ranking," Terps Down Duke capitalized on the 15-yard penalty as they marched another 43 yards to set up McDougalds's one-yard scoring run. In the first half, Wake Forest came back from a 10-0 deficit with two touchdowns but Auburn answered with a Portella field goal and a four-yard touchdown run by quarterback Charles Thomas for a 21-14 Auburn lead.

Wake Forest scored and the Deacons lined up for the conversion but enthusiastic fans, flaunting the Deacons' post-season bowl hopes, tossed oranges on to the field and when kicker Frank Harnisch finally made his attempt, it was blocked. Auburn's final points in the game came on a second quarter touchdown by running back Joe Cribbs and a subsequent 45-yard field goal by Portela.

One of those plays came late in the game when Auburn was three yards from a touchdown but a Tiger running play turned into a fumble and the Deacons recovered to squelch the threat. McDougald carried the ball on the nest play and he also fumbled. But the ball was blown dead, upsetting Auburn coach Doug Barfield. "At the end, our players insisted we had a fumble at the 1-yard line there wasnt any real consistency in some of the calls," said Barfield. While he congratulated Wake Forest.

Barfield said, "I feel bad for our players because they played hard and should have won. You would think that a team that could score 31 points in the first half could score at least one more touchdown in the second half.

(AP) -Maryland overcame a number of early mistakes and rolled to a 27-0 victory over Duke Saturday to break a four-game losing streak, the longest it has had in Jerry Claiborne's eight seasons as head coach. After a scoreless first period, the Terrapins put 17 points on the board in the second quarter, including a record-setting field goal by kicker Dale Castro. The 42-yard boot with just one second remaining in the half was Castro's 14th straight, an NCAA record. Maryland, now 4-4 and 2-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, got untracked when Mike Tice replaced Bob Miliovich early in the second period. With tailback Charlie Wysocki and 10 other Maryland regulars nursing injuries, Tice and backup tailbacks Wayne Wingfield and Tim Whittle, who scored two touchdowns, dominated the game.
