Thanks to four interceptions and an Overall clutch defense, Georgia, which squandered a 17-0 lead in the second quarter, opened its Southeastern Conference season with a 24-14 victory over Alabama before 75,608 fans.

However, the outcome was very much in doubt until quarterback Todd Williams hit split end Herman Archie with a perfectly thrown 31-yard touchdown pass only 4:45 from the end. 1 After the explosive start, featuring Smith, the offen- sive unit watched the defense save the day. And by Doo-' ley's own admission, he didn't help much. He didn't fault himself for his first daring decisionLeading 14-0 in the; first quarter, Dooley uncharacteristically permitted his Bulldogs to go for first down on fourth-and-one at their 43. Freshman tailback Lars Tate got the first down, but the Bulldogs collected nothing from the gamble.

The next time Dooley decided to roll the dice he was almost, out of chips because the surging Tide had cut the lead to 17-14 with two plays remaining in the third quarter. The Bulldogs were on their own 48, need; ing a yard on fourth down, and freshman tailback Cleve- land Gary was dumped for a 3-yard loss.

Kindred COMPLETE REPORT 12-13D By Thomas M. Stinson Staff Writer h. The wall of hope Geor gia Tech bad put up between this year's 3:10 against State's prevent defense only tidied up the score a tad and did little to erase the malaise. After! all, this was Tech's Atlantic Coast. Conference opener in a season its head coach had promised a championship.

The chances of such an! 'accomplishment remain remote at best this day. "They won the game in physical fashion," said Tech coach Bill Curry. "They played smart football and they outplayed our team. They beat us in all three phases of the game. They deserved to win." GA.

TECH 1 success and past years' futility was breached" pecting the Yellow Jackets, a two-touchdown favorite, to have, their way with an up-and-down State team, Tech was subjected to a number of trend reversals. The same Jackets defense that previously had stopped the opposition when it had to suddenly appeared unable to stop a runny nose, allowing State's Joe Mcintosh 138 yards and his offense 333 total yards. Then a Tech offense that had prided itself on flawless ball-handling turned the ball over four times. Two of those mistakes led to State scores. Tech finally rallied after falling behind by 17 points in the late going.

But two touchdowns within the final and then overrun at Grant Field Saturday afternoon. A sea of North Carolina State red washed over the place, leaving Tech a confused 27-22 loser and throwing a question mark over the accuracy of the home team's No. 12 national With a calm crowd of 32,627 ex 13D See TECH Rising from State's rubble Playing like a hero, not a glamour boy BIRMINGHAM Dandy Don Meredith once said, "Yep, this here world is divided into two kind of people quarterbacks and ever'body else." As Mother Teresa needs piety, a quarterback needs an ego as big as Montana. He must believe, even as a mad dog bites at his Jugular, that he can fling a tight spiral between a linebacker's legs and cause the ball to rise over a cor-nerback, turn left at the goal line and fall soft as a feather in a flanker's hands to win a game in the last minute. Then he goes on the Carson show cool in a tux.

Todd Williams was hot and sweaty in a T-shirt, But this was his day as a quarterback hero. He twice scrambled for first downs with victory' there for the taking; And then, on second-and-13 with game's end coming, his tight spiral to Herman Archie, a 31-yard touchdown beauty, drained the blood from Alabama. Georgia 24, Alabama 14. i -a- He sat by himself, speaking softly, lost among the tape cuttings in a corner. No glamour boy here.

The junior from Waycross wore a gray T-shirt with red lettering on it, a big word right above a little one: TEAM me If you put one knee on the locker-room floor and bent toward Todd Williams, you could hear this coach's son daddy Dale Williams, an old quarterback, rode the pine behind Fran Tarkenton at Georgia you could hear Todd Williams say, shucks, he had never been so happy. "I feel like I made a step forward today," said Wil- liams, who was 6-for-ll throwing and ran nine times for 25 yards. "I made some things happen at last I still have a long way to But I feel like today I showed myself that I can play." i Folks have been calling in to Vince Dooley's radio show to ask why the coach plays that young boy Todd Williams at quarterback when it's as plain and ugly as UGA IV's snoot that Williams isn't up to the chore. Why, these callers want to know, doesn't Dooley try somebody j1 b(imm Furmari Bisher Journal Sports Editor v. Joe Mcintosh is back.

You better believe it Georgia Tech may or may not be. We're back again. But Joe Mcintosh is. Joe isn't the kind of kid you hear too much about-His name has been buried under the rubble of football at N.C. State; where more games have been lost than won since he got there.

Seems that every time he turns around he's playing for a new coach, First it was Monte Kiffitt, an old Nebraska tackle, a stand-up comedian who rode in on a white horse. Honest After they told Kiff in to ride off into the sunset on his white horse, a fellow named Tom' Reed was next The feature of his resume was that he came from "The Cradle of Coaches." That's another name for Miami University of where1 Sid Gillman, Woody Hayes, Ara Parseghian, Bo Schembechler, Dick Cram and more than I have time for here worked or played, or both. They called Reed "The General" That came from house training by a lather who is a who brooked no nonsense and brought up a son in the same mold. There was a long silence after he reached N.C State while everybody sat back waiting to see what they had there. The jury's still out One thing Tom Reed had was Joe Ellison Mcintosh, from the county seat town of Lexington, the North Carolina Prep Player of tha Year in high school.

Joe had a good season last year. "The General" didn't Together they won three and lost eight Three weeks ago, "The General" lost Mcintosh and a game to Furman on the day. These big-dog schools just won't take Furman seriously, and with Mcintosh out the Baptists from South Carolina put the States way, 34-30. y' SQUEEZE: N.C. State's Joe Mcintosh goes -between Tech's Ted Roof (93), Jim Anderson (91) on 1-yard TD dive.
