Then Dooley proved he's no Bobby Fisher. He called a gambling play from bis own three-yard line which wound up In an Auburn touchdown in the fourth quarter and sent the Tigers to an 18-7 victory over surprisingly tough Tech. The score stood 12-7, Auburn, as the fourth period began, and the crowd of 38,000 (a sellout) was smelling a possible upset when Auburn punter Skip Johnson booted a 38 yard punt dead on Virginia Tech's three yard line. With first and 10 on the three, the normally conservative Dooley called a long pas? play. Gobbler quarterback David Lamie dropped into his end zone to pass, but from out of nowhere came I'" 1 1 i hut- 9,.

And after Dooley's try at catching Auburn unaware by having bis quarterback throwing from his own end zone, it was just a formality to play the remaining 12 minutes out On the first series of downs, it looked as if Auburn might walk away with the game as some experts had expected it to do. Defensive tackle Frank Warren blocked a Gobbler punt and linebacker Donnie Givens recovered to give Auburn excellent position with first down on the Gobbler 18 yard line.

But a Trotman pass was intercepted, ending that opportunity. On the next series, Auburn started from the Virginia 36 and moved to the 15, but once again. the Tigers bogged down and the normally reliable Jorge Portela's attempt at a 32-yard field goal was wide. Finally Auburn got some points after a drive stalled on the Tech 19 and Portela's 35-yard field goal put the Tigers in front 3-0 on the second quarter's second play. Midway through the second period Portela kicked a 49-yarder and with 7:33 left in the first half, the Tigers led 6-0.

On the ensuing kickoff, Virginia Tech made its lone touchdown drive of 76 yards, but it was to be the last hurrah for the team Dooley took over at the start of this season. Auburn's James Brooks was the offensive leader of the Tigers with 92 yards on 22 carries Both James Cribbs and William Andrews-two Tigers who were injured before last week's Auburn opener played. Andrews carried four times for 8 yards and Cribbs 11 times for 38 yards. Trotman went all the way at quarrter-back, completing 9 of 18 passes for 93 yards and one touchdown. But in the end, it was Dooley's call in a crucial situation which cost the Gobblers a chance at victory.

As a chess player, Bill Dooley makes an excellent football coach. and he didn't like the way the game was going for them. He was hoping to catch us by surprise. They needed a lift, but bur defense was ready for Auburn (2-0) had fouled up numerous opportunities in the first half and trailed 7-6 after Virginia Tech (1-2) drove 76 yards in nine plays late in the half for the first half's only touchdown. Gobbler quarterback Lamie ran 15 yards for the Tech score and kicker Paul Engle's PAT had staked Tech to a 7-6 lead.

Late in the third period, Auburn drove 55 yards on 10 plays with Tiger quarterback Charlie Trotman passing to tailback James Brooks for the touchdown on a 4-yard toss. Auburn went for two on the PAT and failed with 2:17 left in the third quarter. The Tigers led 12-7 and it was still a game. 1 However, Auburn's defense, which according to Barfield seemed to get a lift from the cool (59 degree) weather and overcast conditions, kept Virginia Tech bottled up all afternoon, with the one exception of Tech's second-quarter scoring drive. In fact, Virginia Tech only managed one first down in the second half and that when the game was no longer in doubt Before a last-gasp drive, the Gob The ball rolled free and Auburn defensive end Charles Wood fell on it for Auburn's touchdown and an 18-7 lead.

Auburn went for two on the point-after-touchdown and failed, but the damage had been done. The Tech players visibly sagged after that touchdown and with 12:14 to go in the game, it was all over. "Of course if I could get it back to do over again I wouldn't throw, knowing what would happen," said Dooley. "But you never know those things. I was looking at our" receiver on the play.

He was wide open. It would have probably been a touchdown if we could have gotten the ball to him, but we didn't and that's that I never saw the play. Some folks said it looked like Lamie's arm might have been in motion, but we won't know until the films. I was just watching our receiver, Mike Kenley, and he was open." "I wouldn't second-guess Coach Dooley on the play," said Auburn's Doug Bar-field. "There's no doubt that was the turning play of the game, but he was backed up.

YOU'RE READY FOR A STiTSOR It 1 Ranking After 3 1-2 1 Win Sy Expects Higher By AL THOMY 4't- Journal -Conttitution Staff Writer Al MIAMI Florida State University Coach Bobby Bow-den appeared to have an problem here Saturday afternoon. He did remember his Semi-noles beat the University of Miami before a live audience of 25,003. in the Orange Bowl and a regional television viewership, but he had trouble recalling the score, or the spread when his quarterback, Wally Woodham, threw a screen pass to fullback Mark Lyles, for a 22-yard touchdown to clinch the game in the fourth quarter.

"What WAS the score?" asked an emotional Bowden. "And what happened to our running game? We never did get it started. Hey, I guess you fellows (writers) wonder if I was at the game at all." Bowden's temporary loss of memory can be excused. He did beat Miami, and the score was 31-21, and his state of the left sidelines for 22 yards and the crushing touchdown. "It was a great call," said Woodham, "something no one would expect late in the fourth quarter with such a close score.

All I had to do was get the ball to Mark. He did the rest" Miami Coach Lou Saban acknowledged, "FSU made a heck of a call on that play." "That pass killed us." Bowden insisted it was an easy call to make. "We didn't think field goal at all," he said. "We had confidence we could pick up the first down, if not the touchdown." From the very beginning, Miami, which reportedly had one of the strongest recruiting years among major schools, gave the Seminoles a fight. On their first play from scrimmage, the Hurricanes sent Ottis Anderson 80 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead.

He hit off the right side, bounced away from several would-be tacklers and outran befuddlement can be traced to his first victory over Miami in three tries and to the realization that this was a big game a big-time game for FSU, now 3-0 and certain to improve on its 13th ranking nationally. But it wasn't easy, and, as they say, the score doesn't indicate the true game. Leading only 24-21 in the fourth quarter, the Seminoles found themselves in deep trouble when Homes Johnson fumbled the kickoff out of bounds at the FSU 10. Three plays failed and Rohn Stark, who had a 72-yard punt earlier, thumped a pale 35-yarder that rolled dead on the 45. Here, at this late stage, Miami stood in a menacing position to win the game.

But Miami's Ottis Anderson, also known as O. was stopped for no gain, a pass fell incomplete, and then Mark Richt's third-down pass was intercepted and returned 40 yards by cornerback Bobby Butler. Bowden remembered that much. "Bobby saved us," he said. "That was the big play of the game." Shortly after Butler got them the ball, the Seminoles were faced with a fourth-and-one at the Miami 22.

Later, Bowden misremembered the score at that time. He thought his team had a 10-point lead instead of just three. The screen pass was a more daring call than Bowden appeared to realize later. Earlier, in a similar predicament, quarterback Jimmy Jordan had tried a sneak and failed. Now he was on the bench, having been replaced by his close friend Wally Woodham in the second half, and Woodham got a different kind of call from the bench a gutsy screen pass.

He pitched to fullback Mark Lyles who locomoted his freight-train dimensions of 6-foot-2 and 226 pounds down two defenders for the points. Anderson rushed for 140 yards and extended his 100-yard games to six straight, eclipsing Chuck Foreman's team record of five. FSU tied the game in the second quarter when Mark Macek fielded a blocked punt on first bounce and lumbered 48 yards to score. The blocking honors belonged to Ron Simmons of Warner Robbins, Ga. The two teams traded touchdowns for a 14-14 half-time score.

Once more using the home run, the Hurricanes broke James Joiner on a 48-yard reverse, and the Seminoles retaliated on a three-yard pass from Jordan to wingback Jackie Flowers. At halftime, Bowden replaced Jordan with Woodham, his No. 2 quarterback. That in itself was a courageous move, for Jordan had been Sports Illustrated Offensive Player of The Week last week. Bow den's reason was logical "We changed quarterbacks because Miami's defense was Jutting too much pressure on ordan, who has trouble when he's moved out of the pocket.

He needs time to set up; Wally is better in throwing to different receivers." Jordan said he didn't mind. "Winning that's the name of the game and we won," he said. A short punt aided FSU in the third quarter and Woodham sneaked the final yard of a 41-yard push for a 21-14 lead. And in the fourth, FSU increased its lead on a 26-yard field goal by Dave Cappelen, who had an errorless placement day. Following the field Miami put together its only sustained drive and it ended with Mark Richt's 10-yard TD pass to E.

J. Baker, leading to the wild finish which was too much for Bowden's memory banks. 5X quality in a beautiful bone color with contrasting braided band. The Rock, 19-10 SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. (AP)-Quarterback Mike Sa-chire passed for one touchdown and ran for another to lead Slippery Rock to a 19-10 win over Central Conneticut football Saturday.

Sachire was Slippery Rock's leading rusher with 100. yards on 13 carries. He completed nine passes of 19 attempts with no interceptions. A 6-foot-2, 185-pound junior, Sachire passed to Richard Porter for a 40-yard touchdown score. Central Conneticut then scored on a 41-yard field goal by Tony Renzi and a five-yard touchdown run by halfback Marc Mautte, a 5-9, 160-pound senior.

In the second quarter, Sachire ran 10 yards for another score. Rick Snodgrass topped Slippery Rock's lead with field goals in the second and final quarters. 56 Walton N.W. 521-0851 College Football Scores Dean McPonald's Quality Auto Paint Body Shop, Inc. EAST Amtwjt (, Springfield Boston U.
