Page 2b. THE TIMES AND DEMOCRAT. Orangeburg, Sunday, October 25. 1981 Schofield Passing Leads Deacons Over Cavaliers, 24-21 7 vn i vsr recoveries to take a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. Altogether, Virginia was guilty of six turn overs and was penalized 81 yards, while the Deacons had four turnovers and 104 yards in penalties.

Wake Forest never trailed after jumping ahead in the first quarter, but Virginia, which saw two scoring opprtunities go by the boards as Taylor dropped passes, was behind by only 3 points at half time. Taylor dropped a pass in the clear at the Wake Forest 20 late in the first quarter and dropped another in tne end zone in the second quarter. 4 I FV 1 IS Or .1 iysVH ICS kY The Duke sophomore was 7-for-ll with short gainers on the last drive, but his last two attempts fell incomplete after the Blue Devils gained a first down on Maryland's 26 with 12 seconds left. Compiled From Wire Reports CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia Coach Dick Bestwick bemoaned his team's mistakes, Al Groh, his Wake Forest counterpart, had nothing but praise for his team Saturday after the Deacons beat the Cavaliers 24-21 in an ACC football game. Wake prevailed in the pass-filled game on the strength of an early 23-yard field goal by Phil Denfield and three touchdown passes by sophomore whiz Gary Schofield.

"We're maturing every time we take the field," Groh said. "We had a lot of chances to give in today, but our guys came up here determined to win. I felt very secure on the sideline despite what it might have looked like." Groh made no apologies for Wake's passing game, which has produced 955 yards in its past two outings. "We're going to pass the ball because that's what we can do best to win," he said. But the game was Virginia's to win early.

"It was obvious we could move the ball," he said. "The unfortunate thing is that you have to catch it when it's there to be caught and you've got to hold onto the ball when you're making yardage. We just had too many turnovers to beat anyone." But Bestwick refused to pin the blame on any particular player. "You lose game as a team. It's a total game.

I can't say we lost it offensively or defensively. I can't blame it on any one area. "It's a game of holding onto the football and catching the football. We fumbled four times and dropped six passes." Schofield, who last week completed 43 of 62 passes for 504 yards and two touchdowns against Maryland, had another good day, hitting 30 of 46 for 373 yards against the Cavaliers. Ten of his passes went to Ryan for 155 yards.

Whitehead had his best day of the season, completing 15 of 31 for 275 yards. Taylor, with six receptiuons for 130 yards, and Johnson, with six for 121 yards, were his favorite targets. The game was marred by penalties and turnovers. Its offense stymied by four major penalties and a pass interception, Wake Forest had to capitalize on a pair of fumble scoring run. The touchdoown came two plays after Tech's B.J.

Zwinak recovered a fumble at theASU24. Wade added another field goal at the end of the first quarter, then Bolton lofted a 72-yard bomb to Billy Hite to make it 25-0. Wade, who missed three extra point attempts, added his third field goal shortly before in-termission for a 28-0 Tech lead at half time. Maryland 24, Duke 21 COLLEGE PARK, Md, -Tim Quander scored on a 92-yard kickoff return and Charlie Wysocki's touchdown runs of 17 and 54 yards staked Maryland to a 21-7 lead and the Terps held on to defeat Duke 24-21 Saturday. Duke, held in check after an explosive 21-14 first quarter, scored with 5:11 left when Ben Bennett tossed his second TD pass to Cedric Jones for 23 yards.

The Blue Devils regained possession and missed a chance to tie when Scott McKinney's 42-yard field goal attempt was wide with two seconds left. Wysocki picked up 143 yards on 22 carries as he ran his career rushing total to 3,045, highest in Maryland history. Duke, 1-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and 3-4 over-all, went 91 yards in three plays after receiving the opening kickoff, with a 28-yard Bennett to Jones pass making it 7-0. But Quander returned the ensuing kickoff all the way and Maryland, 3-0 in the ACC and 3-3-1 over-all, added another TD when Wysocki capped a 58-yard drive. After McKinney missed a 44-uard field goal attempt for Duke, Wysocki's 54-yard run extended Maryland's lead to 21-7.

Duke completed the 35-point period on a one-yard TD run by Mike Atkinson after Bennett completed two passes for 57 yards. Jesse Atkinson was successful on one of three Maryland field goal attempts in the second period, a 39-yarder which proved to be the winning points. McKinney had converted eight of 11 previous field goal attempts, the longest from 42 yards, before missing three against the Terps.

Most of the credit for the Gamecocks' upset, however, goes to quarterback Gordon Beckham who put on a nearly flawless passing performance. Beckham connected on an amazing 16 of 17 passes for 195 yards and one touchdown. And the Gamecock defense did its job, holding the Tar Heels potent rushing attack to 176 yards and forcing 5 turnovers 3 interceptions and 2 fumbles. North Carolina struggled, playing catchup all afternoon and losing starting quarterback Rod Elkins to a sprained ankle in the first half.

The only offense the Tar heels could manage was a scoring pass in the first half and a 70-yard touchdown run off a fake punt in the second. South Carolina did not have such problems. After jumping out to a 14-7 lead at the half, the Gamecocks started the second half with a 53-yard pass from Beckham to Horace Smith.
