(AP) -Tennessee shook off its grief from the deaths last week of three assistant coaches and ground out a lacklustre 17-8 football victory over Houston Saturday. The triumph kept the Volunteers in the ranks of the nation's undefeated teams, with a record of three victories and two ties. Houston now has a 1-5 mark. After a scoreless first half, Tennessee broke into the scoring column in the third period on a 20-yard field goal by David Leake, capping a 77-yard drive. Doug Archibald grabbed an errant pass by Houston quarterback Bob Burns and dashed 20 yards for the Vols' first touchdown.

Leake made good the first of two extra points. Halfback Walter Chadwick sprinted six yards for Tennessee's second TD in the final quarter, after Cougar safety- man Mike Spratt fumbled on Houston's 23 and Stan Mitchell recovered for Tennessee. A brief memorial service was Tennessee assistant coaches Bill Majors, Bob Jones and Charles Rash. Majors and Jones were killed outright last Monday when a train struck their car at a crossing. Rash died Friday of injuries suffered in the accident.

(AP) The Alabama Crimson Tide ripped Florida State with an explosive ground game and sharp passing Saturday and whipped the Seminoles 21-0. Fullback Leslie Kelley scored two touchdowns one set up by a brilliant 43-yard run by fellow fullback Steve Bowman and the second after a 28-yard fake field goal play put the ball on the FSU one.

Quarterback Steve Sloan scored Alabama's other touchdown on a two-yard plunge. That drive featured a 46-yard pass play from Sloan to end feat Saturday 20-10. The Buckeyes scored after each of three fumble recoveries and drove 85 yards for a fourth tally to continue a long-standing jinx over the Badgers. It was the sixth consecutive win for Coach Woody Hayes over Wis- and the Badgers have just Tommy Tolleson. The Alabama cepted three of consin beaten Ohio State eleven once in the last 18 years.

Wisconsin scored first, with Bill Maselter recovering Arnie Fontes' fumble on the Ohio State 26 to set up Gary Pinnow's 35-yard field goal just after the start of the game. At the end of the quarter, the Buckeyes started a drive on their own 15 and with Tom Barrington accounting for 54 yards moved over to-take a 7-3 lead. Sander went over from the two. Bill Ridder's recovery of a Chuck Burt fumble on the 11 set up a touchdown midway through the second period, and in the closing seconds Larry Snyder picked up a poorly- thrown lateral by Burt on the Badger 19 to set up Funk's first field goal, one of 19 yards. Sander went over from the one for the second touchdown.

Wisconsin dominated things in the third period, missing a field goal in the early minutes and scoring in the closing seconds on a 12-yard pass from Burt to Louis Jung.

8-21 Up fflfO Irwin's first score touchdown run. 23-yard Dick Gingrich's interception of a McCune pass proved the springboard for another State score. The big gainer was a White to Curry pass for 17 yards and White carried it himself from the two. State recovered a West Virginia fumble on the Mountaineer 39 and the Lions went the distance for their third touchdown of the quarter in six plays with White passing to Irwin for the final 24 yards. Irwin scored his third touchdown of the day in the second half when he returned a punt 74 yards without a hand being laid on him.

The Lions held Ford, the nation's second leading rusher to 5 yards gained in eight carries. The Nittany Lions played professional football throughout almost the entire first half.

(AP) --William Mary, headed for disaster after three early pass interceptions, overcame a 14- point deficit and registered a 2814 Southern Conference victory over George Washington Saturday.

Quarterback Mike Madden, victim of two of the interceptions, sparked the reversal with a spectacular touchdown pass to Mike Weaver that got the Indians on the Scoreboard late in the second quarter and a pair of touchdown runs in the second half. Dan Darragh, who shared signal-calling duties with Madden, bagged the other Tribe touchdown as William Mary boosted its conference record to 3-1 and squared its over-all ledger at 3-3. The loss was the third straight for the Colonials, who are now 2-1 in the conference and 3-3 over-all. George Washington missed the services of injured quarterback Garry Lyle, who didn't see action until the middle of the third quarter and wasn't up to stemming the rallying tribe. Mike Holloran gave GW the lead with only 4:33 gone in the game by scoring from the one after corner back Fred D'Oraz- zio intercepted a Darragh pass and carried it back 22 yards to the WM 3.

The Colonials' other touchdown was chalked up by Glenn Davis, who went over from the one to end a four-play thrust from the Indians' 13.

(UPI)--Fullback Bob McKelvey's fourth down scoring plunge and Dean Dickie's 38-yard field goal provided Northwestern with a windswept 9-0 Big Ten victory over slum-ridden Iowa Saturday. McKelvey's rushing for the afternoon nearly matched the entire Iowa offensive output, as once again star Hawkeye quarterback Gary Snook met frustration. It was the favored Hawk- eyes' fourth straight conference loss this season and ninth in a row over two years. Northwestern is now 2-1 in the league and 3-3 overall. McKelvey, a junior, edged over from the I at 4:41 of the third period to climax a 69-yard march marked by penalty assessments of 35 yards against Iowa.

Two were personal fouls and gave Northwestern first downs at midfield and at the Iowa 25. Three plays later, halfback Larry Gates 'swept left end for 11 yards and a first down at trol the ball that it never had to punt once in the first half. The first Lion punt came more than half way through the third quarter. Ford was held well in check with the one exception.of his runback of the kickoff following the first State touchdown. McCune who has been a passing demon all season could complete only eight in 21 attempts for 74 yards.

In contrast, White completed six of his first seven and eight of 13 attempts for 160 yards and two touchdowns. The top. ground gainer for West Virginia was John Pis- corik who had 17 yards in his two carries. For the Lions, Dave McNaughton, who ran weU on a draw, play State used for the first time this season, rolled up 97 yards in 21 attempts. BUI Rettig, normally a fuU- back but who was used in the same backfield with McNaughton, ran for 62 yards in 15 carries.
