THE ROBESONIAN Page IB--The Robesonian, Lumberton, N.C.. Sunday. October 23,1977 Heels Blank USC 17-0 By BILL WELCH Associated Press Writer CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) North Carolina quarterback Matt Rupee threw a 19-yard pass to Delbert Powell for a touchdown Saturday and freshman Amos Lawrence scampered for another as the Tar Heels shut out South Carolina, 17-0. North Carolina turned two Gamecock fumbles into scores, including a 43-yard field goal by Tom Biddle, in what was duel of defenses and punters.

Playing before a crowd of 48,250, UNC ran its record to 5-2, while the loss left South Carolina at 4-4. The Tar Heels got their first touchdown when after South Carolina freshman running back George Rogers fumbled at his own 42 early in the third quarter. Lawrence then broke up the middle for 20 yards and two plays later Rupee hit Powell in- 'side the 5 and he fell in for the score. Biddle's extra-point attempt failed, leaving UNC's lead at 9-0. Lawrence added the final touchdown on a 2-yard run with 1:22 remaining in the game, then scored a two-point conversion on a pitch.

South Carolina made its deepest penetration in the fourth quarter, to the UNC 23, on the running of Rogers and another freshman, Johnnie Wright. But Gamecock kicker Britt Parrish was wide on a 41- yard fieldgoal attempt. The Gamecocks had another chance to score when they reached the North Carolina 36 late in the third quarter, but Eddie Leopard was short on a 53-yard field-goal try. Biddle's field goal, the longest of his career, came with just over one minute remaining in the first half and capped a drive that began when UNC's Bunn Rhames recovered a fumble at bis own 40 by South Carolina's Spencer Clark. South Carolina quarterback Ron Bass desperately turned to the air late in the game and the Tar Heels' Ricky Barden intercepted a Bass pass with less than one minute remaining, returning it 43 yards to the Gamecock 5.

The game ended with UNC at the South Carolina 2. Gamecock punter Max Runager kept the Tar Heels deep in their own territory much of the game, kicking twice to inside the UNC 5-yard line and punting one time for 60 yards. But South Carolina was never able to capitalize. Clark's fumble at the UNC 40 stopped the Gamecocks' deepest drive of the first half. On its first possession 1 of the game, UNC moved to the South Carolina 32, where the Gamecocks nailed Kupec on second and third downs, forcing a 49- yard field goal attempt by Biddle that fell short.

Maryland Wacks Devils COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP)-Steve Atkins rushed for 116 yards and scored on three short touchdown runs at the end of drives set in motion by Larry Dick's passing as Maryland trounced Duke 31-13 in an Atlantic Coast Conference homecoming game Saturday. The surprisingly easy victory gave the Terps a 3-1 ACC record and left them in contention for a possible fourth consecutive league championship. First-place North Carolina, 2-0, plays at Maryland next Saturday. Atkins, hampered by a knee injury most of the season, has rushed for 350 yards while leading Maryland through three consecutive triumphs for a 4-3 over-all mark.

The 225-pound junior tailback scored on runs of one and two yards in the 24-7 first half, and added another two-yard TD in the third period. Dick completed 12 of 15 passes for 249 yards, including a 61-yarder to Eric Sievers who set up a one-yard TD run by Alvin Maddox and a 17 0 lead at the start of the second quarter. The junior quarterback also set up the first two scores by Atkins with third-down completions to Chuck White at the Duke six and two, and passed for 41 yards prior to a 25-yard field goal by Ed Loncar midway through the first Quarter. Duke, 1-2 in the ACC and 3-4 over-all, scored on a two-yard pass from Mike Dunn to Glenn Sandefur with 2:03 left in the half and on Dunn's six-yard run in the final quarter- Duke's bid for a second fourth-quarter touchdown ended when John Balbante recovered a fumble on the Blue Devils' 19. A first quarter fumble recovery by Charlie Johnson at the Duke 31 set up Maryland's first touchdown, and the Terps drew for another score to make it 170 following a bad center snap on an attempted 40 yard field goal by Duke.

The Blue Devils played without linebacker Carl McGee, who had started 27 consecutive games and was the team's leading tackier this season. He was sidelined with a shoulder injury. Maryland has defeated Duke four consecutive times. This was the first visit to Byrd Stadium by Blue Devils since 1969. Clemson Edges NC State CLEMSON, S.C.

(AP) -With scouts from the Liberty, Peach and Tangerine Bowls and a crowd of more than 50,000 looking on, the 20th-ranked Clemson Tigers held off the North Carolina State offense and got a 19-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Steve Fuller to Jerry Butler to beat the Wolfpack, 7-3, Saturday. The victory was Clemson's sixth straight after losing to Maryland in its opener and kept its hopes alive for the Atlantic Coast Conference title. The Tigers' 3-1 record is slightly under North Carolina, 2-fl. The defeat, second in three league outings and third in seven games, dimmed the Wolf- pack's hopes for the title. Tiger Coach Charley Pell couldn't say enough about the defensive unit.

"It's believable how they throttled that long list of all-stars that the N.C. State team has," he told reporters, pointing out State got no closer than the 29, the drive on which they scored. State was first in total, rushing and scoring offense and second in pass offense in the ACC going into the game. The Tigers were second in all defensive categories. Willie Jordan fielded a State punt at his goal line and streaked 75 yards to the Wolf- pack 25 to set up the touchdown.

Fuller completed 8 of 21 passes for 97 yards. The total pushed him to 2,073 yards in his career, sixth best in Clemson records. He performed despite a hand injury that had kept him out of practice all week. Butler's four receptions for 61 yards gave him a career total of 1,002, also the sixth best mark in that category. His career catch total of 61 is sixth best at Clemson, too.

State's best performer was runningback Ted Brown, who gained 122 yards in 21 carries. But the most spectacular Wolf- pack effort was the punting of quarterback Johnny Evans, who had a 47-yard average in seven kicks. His longest was 59 yards. Clemson had not beaten State since 1968 and had not won six games in a row since 1950, a year they went to the Orange Bowl. Fuller threw one incomplete pass, then ran six yards to the 19 before tossing the winning touchdown to Butler at the 10- yard line and the speedster twisted and made it into the end zone standing up.

Obed Ariri kicked the extra point, his 14th in a row on the season to close out the scoring. State had taken a 3-0 lead in the third quarter on Jay Sherrill's 39-yard field goal after the Wolfpack had been stopped at the Clemson 22 following the second-half kickoff. State had plenty of tune to catch up with the Tigers after Butler's touchdown, but interceptions by Clemson's Steve Ryan with 5:58 left in the game and another by Rick Varn with 1:18 left in the game sealed the victory for the Tigers. East Carolina Rallies To Defeat Citadel 34-16 CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) East Carolina reserve quarterback Jimmy Southerland hit split end Terry Gallaher for two crucial fourth-quarter passes to lead the Pirates to a 34-16 college football victory over The Citadel Saturday night.

The Bulldogs led, 16-15, at the start of the final period but Southerland hit Gallaher with a 34-yard touchdown bomb to quell the cheering on The Citadel side. Minutes later Southerland tossed Gallaher a 39-yard pass to set up a three-yard scoring run by Pirate fullback Theodore Sutton. East Carolina scored its final TD after Pirate linebacker Harold Randolph intercepted a Citadel quarterback Marty Crosby pass at the Bulldog 37. The triumph gave independent East Carolina a 7-1 record; The Citadel of the Southern Conference fell to 34. East Carolina scored twice in the first 10 minutes of the game but the tenacious Bulldogs, led by defensive linemen Tony Starks, Tony Turkett and Ronnie Easterby, held off the Pirates through the second and third periods.

The Pirates used a third quarter scoring blitz to put the game in the bag. Zake Lorick had an outstanding game for the Pirates scoring three touchdowns and playing tough defense. The Pirates out the first score on the board in the first quarter when Zake Lorick snuck into the end zone on an eleven yard run with Robbie Willis kicking the extra point. That score held up through the first quarter with the Pirates leading 7-0. In the second quarter Lorick again put the Pirates on top scoring on a 19 yard run with Willis again kicking the extra point.

The Patriots came back to score a touchdown on a two yard run before the half to set up a 14-6 halftone score. After the halftone rest the Pirates came out smokin' to start the second half of the game. First the Pirate defense caused a loose ball, which Darryl Thomas scbpped up and ran 35 yards for the score. Willis added the point-after and the Bucs went up by 21-6. Then Darryl Thomas found Zake Lcrick on a pass play that covered 51 yards for another Buc score with Willis adding the point-after.

Near the end of the third quarter Henry McMillan ran six yards for the final score of the quarter with Willis adding the point-after. At Virginia Nips Deacons CHARLOTTESVILLB, Va. booting a school-record four (AP) Punter Russ Render- field goals that lifted Virginia's son added placekicking to his Cavaliers to a 12-10 Atlantic list of specialties Saturday, Coast Conference football Lumberton Coach Put On Probation Lumberton High School football coach has been placed on a year's probation by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association according to published reports. The coach was placed on probation for "conduct not conducive to a wholesome a i a according to Charles H. Adams, Executive Director of the NCHSAA.

The association's decision was made on October 13 and stemmed from an incident which happened during a game with Whitevffle on September 16 that saw Lumberton lose 2114. After the contest it was determined that an official had m'sinterpreted a'rule. "I will not contest the reprimand nor will I contest the probation," Willoughby said. "I won't contest the decisions by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association because I am at fault. I clearly broke the rule," he added.

It was reported that Willoughby was cited for approaching Forest DeShields, a game official, following the (Continued on Page 2B) victory over Wake Forest's Deacons. Henderson, who had never previously attempted a college field goal, rallied the Cavaliers to their first victory of the season and first in their last nine starts, with a 34-yard shot with five seconds left in the game. Earlier, the junior from Amherst, had connected from 31,19 and 27 yards to give 1-3 in the ACC and 15-1 overall, a 9-0 lead with 10:50 left. But the Deacons, now 0-4 in the conference and 1-6 overall, very nearly made made Virginia a late-game victim with a 37-yard field goal by Frank Harnisch and a 69-yard touchdown drive that ended with Jimmy Hargrove plunging a yard with 2:14 remaining, Harnisch's extra point put the Deacons ahead 10-9, but Tommy Vigorito returned the ensuing kickoff 46 yards to the Virginia 48 to pave the way for Henderson's game-winning kick. the end of the quarter the Bucs had built a convincing 35-6 lead.

The Pirates calmed down a little in the fourth period with the reserves getting some playing time. The final Pirate score was made by Mike Olson when he slipped four yards into the end zone, to move the Buc advantage to 42-6, The Patriots were able to get only one more score when Dick Barnes ran two yards for the final score of the game. The Pirates dominated the game gaining 236 yards on the ground and adding 51 more yards with their air arm. The Patriots were able to gain only 190 yards both on the ground and in the air, and losing two fumbles added to their miseries. The Pirates will enjoy an open date before moving back into action against Bowman in the season's finale.
