(AP)-Vir- Cinia Military Institute's Keydets, led by quarterback Charlie Bishop end halfback Bob Habasevich, rolled up 546 yards in total offense Saturday and overpowered Davidson's Wildcats 46-21 in the Southern Conference football opener for both. Bishop hi I on 11 of 16 passes for 213 yards and picked up 74 more yards on the ground as he accounted for more than half VMI's total yardage--only four yards short of the school record for a single game.

The other went 66 yards to Jim Burg.

Habasevkh rushed for 93 yards on 26 carries, scored VMI's" first touchdown on a 20-yard run, kicked two extra points and ran for another conversion. He completed one of two passes he threw for another 46 yards. The Wildcats had their own star in a losing cause as quarterback Jimmy Poole threw for two touchdowns. All told, the Wildcats completed 21 of 41 aerials for 248 yards. Defensive standouts for VMI were linebacker Bob Schmalzriedt and safety Kerr Kump.

It was Kump who set the Keydets In motion for the first touchdown, recovering a fumble on the Davidson 41. Habasevich went over from 29 yards out three plays later. After Bishop had hit Easterly with the scoring toss on which mey combined, the Wildcats marched 63 yards with Poole passing the last yard to Pete Glidewell to make it a 15-3 game. Davidson still was in the game early in the fourth quarter after matching a third-- period VMI touchdown which came on a two- yard run by Chuck Marks. 42-yard Poole-to-G-reg Cox aerial narrowed the Wildcats' deficit to 22-15.

Bishop's heave to Burg came just 50 seconds later, however, and the Kevdets scored twice more before the Wildcats put the lasf six points on the Scoreboard. The final VMI touchdown came on a scrambling 52-vsrd run 'by sonhomore quarterback Quay after he was trapped try- Ing to pass.

He was six-under-par for the Royal St. George's links and shattered the 33-year-old course record, set by Henry Cotton in the 1934 British Open.

Jacklin won $4,200 and boosted his winnings on both sides of the Atlantic this season to $19,600. Jacklin, with previous rounds of 69, 74 and 67, finished the tournament with an aggregate of 274. He was three strokes ahead of another Ryder Cup star, Neil Coks. They started final level. East Carolina Wrecks Tribe By JERRY REED Progress-Index Spurn Writer WILLIAMSBURG-What Hurricane Doris did not do to the upper Virginia peninsula Saturday, the East Carolina University football team'did.

The East Carolina Pirates ran roughshod over the William and Mary Indians, 27-7, here in the Southern Conference opener for both. It was the first meeting between these two teams since the opener in 1966 which ended in a 7-7 tie and which forced the two to share the SC crown. It was strictly no contest for the visiting East Carolina team from the opening whistle to the end. William and Mary, in fact, was not able to advance further than its own 20-yard line in the first quarter and success spoiled the Indians since a fumble occurred on the same play. William and Mary did manage lo advance inside East Carolina territory briefly just before the first half ended, but it was not until early in the third quarter before the Indians could make a sizeable dent in the ECU zone.

East Carolina opened the scoring in the second quarter when wingback Tom Grant connected on a 10-yard pass play to end Bob Withrow. Don Tyson added the kick to mak; a a score 7-0. Single-Wing Not Dead Yet, Pirates Declare WTLLIAMSBURG The old fashioned Single Wing offense ain't so old fashioned--at least at East Carolina University. Clarence Stasavich, in his sixth year as head coach at ECU and one of the nation's foremost Single-Wing coaches, proved his type offense, at least here at Gary Field Saturday, is a better offense in the mud. Stasavich's Pirates embarrased William and Mary.

27-7, the same team with which it was tied for the Southern Conference championship a year ago. Stasavich, pipe in hand, reviewed the relatively easy victory over the Indians. "I was disappointed that we didn't score the first time we had the ball," the graying coach said Jn the confines of his team's locker room.

The East German finished in minutes, 40.2 seconds after grabbing an early lead and holding it the. rest of the way. Tummler was fully 20 yards in back of Matuschewski when he began his final kick and succeeded in making up all but one yard of the deficit.

pushed to within 25 yards of the William and. Mary goal line but was forced to punt after two incomplete passes. As far as the sudden turn of bad weather was concerned, Stas- avich maintained that his Pirates followed the. game plan with the exception of the passing attack. "We didn't pass as much," he asserted, "as we had planned." It was against William and Mary in 1966 that the East Carolina eleven was made a co-champion of the Southern Conference and not outright king.

This, more than anything else, probably gave the Pirates added incentive going into Saturday's game. "We wanted them to play a good game against William and Mary," the veteran coach admitted but for a different reason. "We have a lot of players on our team from Virginia." The East Carolina roster is sprinkled with 11 Virginia athletes, including senior Paul Hutchins from Honewell. At the opposite end of the stadium, William and Mary coach Marv Levy, talked with reporters in the somber atmosphere of the Tribe dressing room. "Well, yeah "he hesitated when approached on the subject of top many penalties.

"I guess we did." Levy continued: "Their trapping game was very good. It was, in i'act, the strong part of game. "They played well." No one ventured a guess as to what might have happened had riot Hurricane Doria threatened Cary Field throughout the day. As potent as East Carolina's offense looked, the score could have been much Or, William and Mary's running game may not have stalled deep in its own territory so often. "I just don't know what it was," Levy answered.

He emphasized the fact "that East Carolina had a chance to scout us" a week ago, was not "the reason they beat us." William and Mary, committing nearly every infraction listed, was unable to counter until the third period. Fullback Joe Pilch provided the Indians with their first serious threat when he shot up the left sidelines 68 yards and was dragged down from behind on the Bast Carolina seven-yard line.

Buck Buchanan tied the score with his conversion.

It was in the explosive fourth quarter that East Carolina finished what it started at the outset. Fullback Butch Colson, operating in the familiar Single- Wing offense of ECU and coach Clarence Stasavich, plunged over from one yard away with 9:09 left in the game. Colson, who would not have received the chance to play had not regular George Gay been sidelined early in the game, addec his sound touchdown when he scooted up the midle for 40 yards and a score with only seconds left to play, Sandwiched in between was an insurance touchdown by tailback Neil Hughes, scored from the 14- yard line with 6:49 on the dock. William and Mary's play matched the miserable weather in all departments. The Tribe was penalized 82 yards and four of ECU's first downs came via WM penalties.

The Indians also fumbled seven and lost possession on three occasions. Colson topped all ground gainers with 130 yards on 26 attempts. Mahnie was WM's major rusher with 60 yards on 12 carries. In contrast to last week's dorrr- nation of Quantico, WM Saturday gained on total offense 225 yards. Against Quantico the figure was considerably larger--337.

Passing-wise, William Mary gained 14 yards while East Caro- ina managed 32 on a soggy field windy, rainy weather. William and Mary plays at Virginia Tech next Saturday at 1:30 p. m.

RALEIGH, N. C. (AP) -Quarterback Al Woodall's running and passing led Duke's Blue Devils to a convincing 3113 victory over Wake Forest Saturday night in the football opener for both Atlantic Coast Conference teams.

A crowd of 22,452 saw Duke get a field goal in the first period, a touchdown in the second quarter, two in the third and one in the fourth. The game was the second half of a day-night doubleheader involving North Carolina "Big Four" football teams. An overflow crowd of 42,300 watched North Carolina State defeat North Carolina in the afternoon 13-7. Duke, impressive at times, had trouble getting its offense going. The Blue Devils missed two good scoring opportunities in the opening seconds when sophomore tackle Dick Diddle intercepted a pass on the Wake Forest 23 and moments later recovered a Wake Forest fumble on the Deacons' 20.

(AP) A 55- yard touchdown pass play from quarterback Jim Donnan to end Harry Martell gave North Carolina State a 13-7 victory over arch-rival North Carolina Saturday in their Atlantic Coast Conference football opener.

Duke met Wake Forest in the night game. Gerald Warren kicked field goals of 44 and 33 yards as N.C. State avenged 10-7 losses to North Carolina in 1965 and 1966. The Wolfpack struck with lightning fury for its winning touchdown. Following a North Carolina punt, State look over on its 38.

On the first play, Bobby Hall reeled off seven yeards. Donnan then fired a pass to Martell who caught it on the North Carolina 25 and easily outran the nearest defender.

The touchdown was set up by tailback Frank Ryan who made a brilliant diving catch of a 44-yard pass from Woodall on the Wake Forest five. Wake Forest came back to cut the margin to 10-7 "when Summers went over for his first score. A 28-yard-pass from Summers to Rick Decker set up the touchdown. The Blue Devils struck for two touchdowns in the third period.
