17, 1968 Florida State held a 14-7 lead by virtue of a blocked field goal attempt by State's Gerald Warren in the first quarter and a 52-yard drive following a Wolfpack fumble. nia Rips Tulane 63-47 By ED YOUNG AP Sports Writer CHAKLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) Virginia's interminable wait between winning football seasons ended after 16 years Saturday as the Cavaliers outscored Tulane 63-47 in a fantastic game that produced more than 1,000 yards of offense. Quarterback Gene Arnett touchdown passes threw four and halfback Frank Quayle scored three times for the Cavaliers, who racked up 597 yards against the defenseless Greenies --but didn't tuck away th'e dech sion until the last seven minutes. It was the sixth victory in nine starts for Virginia, assuring the Cavaliers a winning record for the first time since they finished 8-2 in Art Guepe's final year as coach in 1952.

Tulane, now beaten seven times in nine games, didn't find the Virginia defense much of a puzzle, rolling up 408 yards in offense itself and producing the day's most spectacular touchdown play--a 59-yard run by fullback Warren Bankston in the second period. Virginia never trailed in the frantic scoring battle after turning a blocked kick and a fumble recovery into a first-period touchdown. Defensive end Tom Patton blocked the punt on the Tulane 41, picked up the ball and ran to the six, only to fumble it there. But Virginia's Al Senesky was Johnny-on-the-spot, scopped up the football and ran for the TD that gave the Cavaliers a 7-3 lead.

Virginia, however, stowed away the triumph and its much-coveted winning record-with two touchdowns by Quayle late in the final period. The first came on an eight-yard run, the second on an acrobatic, underhand pass of seven yards from Arnette with only minutes remaining.

Two of the third quarter scores were set up by- State fumbles and the third followed a pass interception. The last 'two drives by Florida State were after Wolfpack punts.

The Seminole seemed to be in a lull during the opening moments of the game, being stopped on their first drive while State moved the ball fairly well before finally being stalled on two of their drives. It was on the second drive that Warren attempted a 46- yard field goal when Florida State's Walt Sumner blasted through the line, blocked the attempt, then scooped the ball up and outraced State's Jack Klebe 58 yards to the goal line. Grant Guthrie then added the first of his six extra point for the night. Florida State made it 14-0 early in the second quarter after Floyd Ratliff fell on a Charlie Bowers fumble and the Seminole marched down to the State 13 where quarterback Tom Cappleman hit end Phil Abraira for the second score. The drive covered 49 yards.

State got into the scoring column late in the second period on a 61-yard drive climaxed by two passes from Klebe to wingback Jimmy Lisk which covered 30 yards. The final pass was a 10-yard toss in the end zone. The second half opened just as the first, with the Wolfpack moving the ball well, pushing it deep into Seminole territory after forcing them to punt. On a first down play at the Florida State 26, however, the Seminole fell on another Bowers fumble. It took them only five plays to score from their own 29 with Cappleman hitting on passes of 35 yards to All- America flanker Ron Sellers and 15 yards to fullback Tom Bailey.

Bill Gunter charged in for the score from the 11 and the Seminole were off and running. The second third-quarter score for Florida State came (See SEMINOLES on 9-C) Floriaa Summary. .7 7 21 13--48 N.

He saw the Duke-Wake Forest football game Saturday, and it's still on his mind.

The real Leo, however, is Leo Hart, and he was dressed up in a Blue Devil uniform. And he did do in the Wake Forest Baptist, and on the Methodist Fiats of Durham, commonly referred to as Wallace Wade Stadium. This Leo, the Duke quarterback, put on a display of aerial wizardry in a record-shattering performance that led the Blue Devils to an 18-3 victory over the Deacons in an Atlantic Coast Conference football game.

Hart gained 333 yards passing and running to run his year's total to 2,121 and become the first ACC player ever to gain more than 2,000 yards in total offense in a single season.

He also set an ACC record for pass completions in a season by connecting for 20 of 28 attempts, bringing his total to 140. Duke used long drives to score two touchdowns in the first half, carrying 78 yards on one and 60 on the other, and then struck suddenly for its third score on Hart's long pass play. Passes by the 6-3, 194-pound whiz kid from Kinston, accounted for 53 yards on Duke's first touchdown march, with Phil Asack carrying over after a final pass play of 14 yards moved the ball to the one-yard line. Another series of Hart passes moved Duke to its second touchdown with only 35 seconds to play before intermission. A pass to Henley Carter from the six yard line achieved the score.

Hart threw five times for 54 yards in the 60 yard drive. Duke's final score came three minutes after the second half began with Wes Chesson on the receiving end of Hart's pass. The Blue Devils took over after Wake had punted, and after the first play from scrimmage Duke didn't go back into the huddle. Instead the team lined up and Hart dropped back into the pocket. He threw to Chesson down the right sideline who caught the ball at the Wake 37 and ran the rest of the way in.

C. Sophomore tailback a Yauger is picking. up where Buddy Gore left off, and Gore isn't even officially gone.

Yauger, who started in the Clemson backfield in place of the injured Gore, rushed for 202 yards in 35 carries Saturday afternoon, personally wrecking the North Carolina defense in a 24-14 Clemson victory. The 190 pounder used the Atlantic a Conference game to break Gore's sophomore year record at rushing. He has 760 yards this year. And Gore has been one of the top rushes in the ACC for three years. In the process, however, Yauger broke his left forearm and will miss the important game next, weekend against South Carolina.

Coach Frank Howard reported after the game that Yauger may have broke his aarm late in the game. Yauger was taken to Greenville Hospital. The victory puts Clemson in line for its third straight ACC championship if it whips arch rival South Carolina this. Saturday. The Tigers have only a tie to mar their record.

If Clemson loses its last game, the championship will go to North Carolina State. Yauger scored only one touchdown, but his power through the line left Carolina defenders shaking their heads and grabbing air.

(AP) Ken Edwards and Terry Smoot of Virginia Tech ground out the yardage on two long scoring drives to drop South Carolina of the Atlantic Coast Conference 17-6 Saturday night. Edwards, a converted linebacker, also caught a short pass from Al Kincaid in each of the drives to keep them alive for the bowl- minded Gobblers.

South Carolina missed on two field goal attempts and was caught by the clock at the VPI nine at the half, but managed a third period touchdown on Tommy Suggs' 19-yard pass to Warren Muir. i Kincaid helped on both drives, first with an eight-yard burst on GAMECOCKS on Page 9-C) from one tackier and sneaked his way to the end zone. On the next series, Billy Ware intercepted a Gayle Bomar pass at the Carolina 30 and returned it to the nine, setting up the next touchdown. Yauger carried four straight times, the last one got him over from the one. Carolina put together an 87 yard drive at the beginning of the fourth for its second touchdown.

Ken Borries carried over from the two. There were eight minutes left when that score came, time to get back in the game. Bomar missed on a pass to Tony Blanchard in the end zone with 4:21 remaining that would have brought UNC within a couple of points. The visitors had another drive halted in the closing moments that would have made the game closer. The other touchdown that was made by Carolina was set up on an interception by Mark Mazza at the Carolina 48.

He returned the ball 50 yards to the Clemson two. Bomar hit Blanchard on the first play for six. It was an interception that set up Clemson's first score.
