Simpson, a junior speed mer chant, began his memorable run from the Trojan's 36, ran to the left toward the USC bench, reversed the field, opened the throttle and raced on in with no one touching him.

Colts, Lions Clash Today BALTIMORE A Good samples of whether running or passing is more likely to win a football game will be on display in Sunday's match between the Detroit Lions and Baltimore The Colts lead the National Football League in passing and the Lions in rushing yardage. But Baltimore is undefeated while the Lions have won only three of nine games.

Touchdowns explain the i ference. The Colts have run for By JACK FULP Projfrrss-Indrx Sports Editor WILLIAMSBURG A long, dry spell was broken by the Richmond Spiders here Saturday afternoon, one which had lasted. as they banged out a 16-7 victory over the William and Lilians. Spider halfback Joe Kellum, a ransfer from Montgomery Junor College, ground out 107 yards on 31 carries in playing the work- role, and Mike Bixiones, who also played at Montgomery last season scored two touchdowns to lead the Spiders to their victory. The victory brought the Spiders' record lo 5-4, and now they need a win at Fairfield, against Parsons College Saturday to bring home a winning season, which also be the first of its kind since 1962 at Richmond.

All of the scornig in the hard- hitting battle, except for a third quarter field goal by Spider kicking ace Mike Bragg, was done in the first period, but Coach Frank Jones' Spiders managed to keen control of the game just about all of the way. A counle of graduating Spiders, former Prince George star Wayne Collins at linebacker, and Dave Delgardo at guard, turned in tremendous defensive efforts, and another of Coach Jones' newcomers, sophomore Jim Crenshaw, gave an excellent account of himself on both offense and defense. period. The Blue Devils ended heir scoring with a touchdown early in the final period on a 12-yard pass from Larry Davi Frank Ryan. A 22-yard run )y Davis set up the touchdown Duke fought desperately score again late in the perioi out could get no farther than North Carolina 39, when three passes fell incomplete.

Bomar ran 21 limes for 7 yards and completed 9 of 1 passes for 111 yards. Duke fullback Jay Calabrese collected 91 yards to set a Duke career rushing record of 1,801 yards. Ray Carlton held the record at 1,785. Riesenfcld attempted two field goals, one from (he 44 in the first period, the other from the 29 on the first play of the period. Both were short.

The Blue Devils offered two scoring threats in the first half, driving to the North Carolina 18 in the opening minutes of the game and again to the Tar Heel 28 midway the first period. In the third period, Duke took the kickoff following North Carolina's third touchdown and rolled from its 26 lo Ihe Tar Heel 12 where il was halted when a pass was intercepted in the end zone by Lynn Duncan. The loss gave Duke a final 4-6 record. North Carolina 7 7 6 0-20 13, three more than Detroit, and scored 18 on passes to nine by the Lions. Although the passing of quarterback John Unitas is the eye- catcher, the Colls aren't exactly slouches at running with the ball.

But still are 331 yards behind the league pacesetting 1,388 by the Lions. On the olher hand, Ballimore has gained 2,543 yards passing, more than Iwice as much as Delroit. Unitas has thrown 17 passes for touchdowns while the two Lion quarlerbacks, Milt Plum and Karl Sweetan, have hit for only nine. Despite their seven victories and two ties, the Colts have not been able to relax as they have only a one-game edge over tenacious Los Angeles in Ihe Coaslal Division.

The Indians managed 122 net yards but 72 of tho.se yards came when Jeff Lund took a pitchout from quarterback Dan Darragh with about two-thirds of the firsl period gone and swept around Ihe righl side for the Tribe's lone touchdown. Collins sort of set the tone of things to come on the opening kickoff when he got down and smeared the Indians' Chip Young at the 22 on the return.

The Spiders marched to a touch down the first time they got their hands on the ball, going 66 yards on 12 plays, with three of being quick passes from quarterback Buster O'Brien to hi.s favorite tarsst. end Walker Gillette at the sideline.

Kellum, Crenshaw and the 3'Brien lo Gillette aerials moved the ball to the Indian three, from where Bixiones hit at the line once to the one, and then divec over the line into the end Bragg kicked the point and the Spiders led by 7-0 with 6:44 Icf in the period. Lund returned the kickoff back to the WM 20, and then it took three plays for the Indians to tie the score. Lind got a yard on the first one, and then Darragh passed to Jim Cavanaugh for eight, but that may have been costly as Cavanaugh was injured and this ace pass catchers' pass catching for the day was over. Lund then took off on his 72-yard TD jaunt, and Gordon PtHi' i npan kifkod the point, but that was day had picked up 1,056 yards passing this year, could manage only 63 against Ihe staunch Spider defense, while O'Brien completed 13 of 21 for 108 yards. The next lime the Indians got the ball after Lund's touchdown the situation was a bit dif- 'ercnt.

On the same lype play, he tumbled this time and Ronnie Goff. recovered for the Spiders at the Indians' 33. O'Brien and Gillette were up to their old tricks again, as the junior quarterback hit his playmate up the middle and put the ball at the 18. Kellum went to Packers A To Face GREEN BAY, Wis.
