White had lost his starting job to Gervais two weeks before whfen the Beavers were wtiipped by Ohio State. In the early going, the Beavers were their own worst enemy as they were penalized nine times until White gained control of the helm. SMU's Wishbone-T offense sputtered at times as the Mustangs lost four fumbles to the Beavers. The Mustangs piled up 463 yards over land against the Beavers. Momon was the top rusher oi OSU with 93 yards on 14 carries.

A smallish crowd of 16,958 rattled around in the Cotton Bowl as SMU jumped to a quick 170 lead on Garner's two touchdown runs and Tech Thompson's 27-yard field goal. Oregon State rallied to pull within 179 in the third period on a 17 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Steve Ger-vais to Brown. Wesson fumbled the ball at the SMU end zone to give OSU a safety. The Mustangs pushed the score to 249 on Wesson's scoring run and Morris' touchdown gallop put the game out of Narrow Nod To Wolfpack RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Roland Hooks scored two touchdowns Saturday and unbeaten, eighth-ranked North Carolina State came from behind to nip determined East Carolina 24-20.

East Carolina quarterback Mike Weaver led an aroused Pirate team to a 14-7 first-half lead but the Wolfpack's depth proved too tough for the Southern Conference visitors in the second half. State took the lead at 21-14 in the fourth period when Hooks skirted right end on a nine-yard touchdown run, then sealed the victory with a 27-yard field goal by John Huff. East Carolina came back with a last-ditch drive that culminated in a five-yard burst by Bobby Myrick, but time ran out on the Pirates. Weaver, running sweeps and options from a Wishbone set, led the Pirates on a 94-yard drive in 14 plays. He had carries of 18 and nine yards before Ken Strayhorn scored the touchdown on a one-yard plunge.

The Pirates' Wild Dog defense held the Wolfpack in check until East Carolina started an 80-yard drive that took 10 plays and carried them to a 14-0 lead.

against Minnesota. Staubach was intercepted three times and trapped on six occasions by the Giants. "Staubach is No. 1 but it doesn't mean I might not change if the game isn't going well," Landry said. A 16-yard gain on a pitchout to Lytle moved the Wolverines to Stanford's 21 and Franklin ran a keeper over the right side from the 12 for Michigan's go-ahead score.

Oilers Entertain Upset Win Over Pitt To Tar Heels CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -North Carolina, utilizing the passing of Chris Kupec and the running of Mike Voight, exploded in the third period to score a 45-29 upset victory over 17th-ranked Pittsburgh Saturday. Sophomore tailback Tony Dorsett circled right end for 12 yards on the first play from scrimmage. He scored 14 plays later on a three-yard burst. North Carolina went ahead on two quick touchdowns.

Kupec passed 43 yards to Jimmy Jerome for one and James Betterson plunged one yard for the second. Pitt retaliated just as quickly. Bob Haygood returned the ensuing kickoff 49 yards. Quarterback Bill Daniels rounded left end for 48 yards on a keeper on the next play to tie the score. Betterson put the Tar Heels ahead on another short plunge.

Then Daniels passed eight yards to Karl Farmer to make the count 21-20 in Pitt's favor at halftime. But North Carolina took control of the game after the intermission. In addition to Voight 's scoring runs, Dick Oliver got his first touchdown of the season on a one-yard plunge that capped a 90-yard 'drive. The Tar Heels built their lead to 45-21 on Ellis Alexander's 35-yard field goal so that a final burst of fireworks by Pitt, an 80-yard scoring run by Elliott Walker, did not affect the final outcome. Pitt's record dropped to 2-2.

Iowa State Uses Defense AMES, Iowa (AP) -Fullback Phil Danowsky bolted over for two touchdowns and Tom Goedjen kicked a pair of field goals as Iowa State, taking advantage of an opportunistic defense, defeated New Mexico 27-3 in an intersectional football game Saturday. A fumble recovery and two long punt returns set up scores, including a 46-yard pass by Cyclone tailback Mike Strachan to sophomore Luther Blue. Danowsky scored on runs of two and one yards as Iowa State finished with 314 yards total offense, eight less than the visitors, who dropped to 1-2-1 on the season.

Goedjen booted 30 and 29-yard field goals for Iowa State and, in the process, had a Big Eight Conference career record by running his total to 32.

Cowboys Host Minnesota STANFORD (AP) -Quarterback Dennis Franklin ran for two touchdowns within a minute to bring the fourth-ranked, unbeaten Michigan Wolverines a 27-16 triumph over Stanford Saturday.

South Carolina, which has now lost its first four games of the year, outplayed Houston in Southern Tramples LOS ANGELES (AP) Senior Southern Cal defensive back Charles Phillips scored his first college touchdowns Saturday, returning two fumbles 83 and 98 yards in helping the Trojans overpower Iowa, 41-3.

The victory for the ninth-ranked Trojans raised their record to 2-1. Iowa, of the Big Ten, fell to 1-3. Landry said the Cowboys must play "errorless football to beat Minnesota. It's hard to puncture their defense. You have to fight for everything you get and with (quarterback) Fran Tarkenton in there you never know what he will do." Minnesota beat the Cowboys 27-10 last December 30 for the NFC championship.

It marked a record eighth consecutive appearance for the Cowboys in the National Football League playoffs. Viking Coach Bud Grant said, "We had to play one of our finest games to beat Dallas in the playoffs last season. We'll have to play the same way if we hope to win again." Minnesota has defeated Green Bay, Chicago ahd Detroit while Dallaihasbeaten Atlanta and fallen to Philadelphia and the New York Giants. The Viking defense has allowed only three touchdowns and none via the pass. "They probably have the best defensive team in professional football," said Cowboy assistant Ermal Allen.

"You don't get behind against a team like this and expect to win." Cowboy quarterback Roger Staubach was booed for the first time in his professional career last Sunday in the loss to the Giants, but Landry said, "He's my quarterback." However. Landry indicated that backup quarterback Craig Morton would see action if Staubach is having a poor day DALLAS (AP) Struggling Dallas faces the undefeated Minnesota Vikings Sunday in a rematch of their 1973 National Conference title game with the Cowboys trying to overcome their worst start since 1964.

Edwin Williams added a 35-yard TD run while Fabian Lara notched three two-point conversion runs. Steelers "I still have great confidence in this team," said Landry. "We don't panic. We're not out of it win or lose Sunday.

We won 10 games in a row once to get into the Super Bowl. But we haven't picked the best week to make a comeback."
