Sunday, Nov. 12, 1967 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. The longest 12 inches of football turf in N. C. State's history put the Wolfpack out of the elite class of the undefeated here Saturday.

That's where it was stopped Penn State in the final boy minute as a gallant comeback by the North Carolinians failed by just that much, Penn State, a young team on the move, won the national headliner, 13-8, on a quick punch that gave it a 13-0 lead after only six minutes and 50 seconds of play and on its goal line stand. State, with its high national ranking and a perfect season at stake, dominated the second half but fell just short of a tying or winning score. After the failure, Penn State gave up a safety to account for the final two points.

CARR NORFOLK, Va. Duke struggled with Navy for about 35 minutes in the Oyster Bowl here Saturday afternoon, then chased the Middies out of storied Foreman Field with its biggest offensive explosion of the aging football season. Some 30,000 fans had watched the inspired Middies take a 10-7 halftime lead, buy by sundown, the Blue Devils were rocking and rolling with a 35- 16 triumph that brought their three-game losing streak to a resounding halt. Quarteroack Larry Davis, voted the game's most valuable player, took charge of the offensive after intermission. Four straight times Dukes marched for touchdowns, wringing all the suspense out of this skirmish long before the end.

Davis, who grew up just a long pass from here (Portsmouth), scored once on a 13-yard maneuver to send Duke ahead in for good 14-10 early in the third period. Moments later, he was torturing the Middies' defense again, this time hitting Henley Carter on a 15-yard scoring strike. The Dukes went on to score on their next two possessions with Pete Schafer bursting over from the 4 and Jake Devonshire crashing over from the 2. By then, it was no contest, and Duke had victory No. 4 against five losses wrapped up.

Even though Navy was leading en at halftime, there was the genuine feeling that the Devils were in command." Their redoubtable defenders constantly harassed heralded Navy quarterback John Cartwright, dumping him five times for minus 40 yards in the first 30 minutes and forced him out of his normal pattern on other occasions. While the Blue Devils' front was applying the necessary pressure, LARRY DAVIS Star of game the secondary was covering relatively weil, and twice came up interceptions, one of which was a deflected pass. By day's end, Cartwright, who is threatening to rewrite all of famed Roger Staubach's career passing marks, had completed four of seven passes, one for a touchdown. But he had been thrown for minus 18 yards. The day started Navy's though, as John Church boomed a 43-yard field goal the first period following Chip Estey's recovery of a Pete Schafer fumble at the Duke 36.

That lead diminished by the middle minutes of the secona period as the Blue Devils, capitalizing on a short Middie punt, pushed 35 yards to score with Schafer climaxing the march from the one. It was fitting that Schafer got that touchdown, because he cracked three yards on a fourth and one situation at the Navy 26, then went 18 yards to the Middie 1 moments later. But Navy was not about to wilt, not yet. Cartwright had his team out front at the half. After pitching a perfect 21- yard strike to Ted Murray from the Duke 33, he teamed up with end Rob Taylor for the touchdown moments later.

Taylor ran a sideline route on fourth and one at the eight, and Cartwright was on target. When the first half ended, though, Duke had the football just inches away from tre end zone. With Al Woodall firing a 10- yard pass to Jim Dearth, a nine-yarder to Carter, and a 19-yarder to Carter, the Blue Devils pushed to the Middie 9. They tried to race with the clock and when time ran out, Woodall was lying across the goal line with the ball, but the referee said no touchdown. Apparently that made Duke mad, because Blue Devils came back in the second half with renewed vigor.

Onside Kick They tried an onside kick at the start of the second half and it worked, with Ken Homa falling on it at the Navy 46. But Duke had to wait until its next possession to start its string of touchdown marches. They launched the first one from their own 41, and Woodall pulled off the big play, going 30 yards on keeper, to the Navy 22. Four plays later Davis took it in from the 13, cutting back over left tackle, and Duke was on its way to an easy victory. They went 54, 50, and 2 yards with ridiculous ease for touchdowns.

On the 54-yard jaunt, Woodall and Davis, alternated at quarterback throughout the afternoon, came up with the big plays. See DUKE, Page 5.

There are close football games and there are close football games, but few could be any closer than the one here Saturday especially for Wake Forest.

The Deacons stopped Tulsa on the 1-yard line on the final play of the game, preserving a 31-24 victory the third straight for the resurgent Wake Forest team. Digit Laughridge, a defensive left halfback, was the man of the hour for Wake Forest. He broke up one possible touchdown pass with less than 10 seconds left, with the game over, he and Butch Henry stopped Tulsa's Rick Eber at the 1. Had Henry not been behind Eber, Eber could have fallen into the end zone for the touchdown. in the period Laughridge had provided Wake with its winning margin.

He intercepted a pass by Tulsa quarterback Gary Collett and returned it 59 yards for a touchdown. It was the first time since 1959 that any Wake Forest player had returned an interception all the way. When Wake's Tom Gavin recovered a fumbled punt by Tulsa Doug Wyatt at the Tulsa 39 with about two minutes left, it appeared that it might be all over. But it was not. Some fast-thumping 103rd Year 13-8 first six points on two field goals by Gerald Warren, who now has kicked 15 of 20 for the season.

The defeat did not take State out of the major bowl picture, and it is quite likely the Sugar Bowl will issue an invitation on Monday the first day any such bid can be made by anyone despite the loss and despite the fact State plays at Clemson next week. This was two different games. Penn State was much the superior team in the first half. N. C.

State was equally dominant in the second, but it could not get that final yard on fourth down. Interceptions, which have not hurt State badly this season, ultimately decided the outcome. Penn State's second touchdown came on a 67-yard return by linebacker Denny Onkotz, a brilliant sophomore. Then late in the game with the Wolfpack on the 13-yard line, second down and two, an interception by Tim Montgomery in the end zone stopped an impressive drive that had been made on the ground. After this interception, State ECU Is Buffaloed By 37-13 By JOE TIEDE W.

Morris, certainly the fastest back seen in these parts for some time, scored three touchdowns and gained 224 yards rushing to personally seal the second ECU defeat in nine games. So dominant a figure was Morris, a 190-pound junior from Pittsburgh, that just the threat of his outside running opened up the Pirate middle for big gains by fullback Albie Owens. Owens, a 215-pounder from Carlisle, sprinted 74 yards for touchdown and picked up 161 yards in all. Quarterback 1 Roy Winters got into the act by pitching a 38-yard scoring pass to Charlie Henderson.

But the Buffaloes really didn't need to throw at all with Morris around. East Carolina moved the ball on the Texans, but twice it was stopped on fourth down plays at the West Texas 17 and 42. But there wasn't much the Pirates could do when Morris got the ball. They just couldn't catch him. Morris, who wore number 22 while Owens wore 00, scored on runs of 44, 12, and four late yards.

in It the was third his period yarder really put the game out of reach, because the Pirates had just scored to make it 23- 13. The Buffaloes went 75 yards in 12 plays for that one, as Morris and Owens ran the Bucs dizzy. Winters would pitch to Morris running outside one play and then he would fake the pitch and give on See BUCS, Page 5. had to start from its 32-yard line. It was good enough to take it from there to within a yard of the goal.

There on fourth down, halfback Tony Barchuk dived over the middle of the line, but the Lions met him there just a foot short. The Wolfpack had a remote chance after that as it forced a safety with eight seconds to play. The kick from that was carried by Leon Mason to midfield. Then with two seconds to go a screen pass to Barchuk was carried to the Penn State 35 as time ran out. This left the Wolfpack at 8- 1, and its national stature should not suffer a great deal.

This is was billed as the top football game of the season in the East, and certainly the finish provided as much excitement as any. State won the opening toss and decided it would take the wind that was blowing at about 12 miles an hour on a day on which the temperature was 55 degrees. This did not work out well as Charlie Pittman brought the opening kick out to the Lions' 41-yard line. In seven plays they had a 7-0 lead. The touchdown came on a perfect pass play from the 18- yard line on second down and two yards to go.

He made a couple of fakes, rolled out to the left, and found tight end Ted Kwalick wide open in the end zone. He had to stretch to make the catch. Sherman kicked the extra point for the 7-0 lead. Then the score quicky was 13-0. The Wolfpack returned the kickoff to its 29 and moved to the Penn State 43.

Then on third down and eight Donnan's throw down the middle was intercepted by Onkotz at his 33. He found room to his right and picked up a couple of blockers as he moved into State territory. They screened out Donnan, the last State man with a chance, and went into the end zone. Sherman's extra point kick was wide, but the Lions had 13-0 lead with only 6:50 played. For the remainder of the half Wolfpack was fortunate in keeping the score at that figure.

Penn State got to the Wolfpack 11-yard line, but there the drive was stopped when Greg Williams came up with an interception in the end zone. The Lions came right back a few minutes later and went from their 43 to the Wolfpack 5-yard line. There on fourth down a and only a yard needed, See LIONS, Page 2. Sugar Bowl For State? By DICK HERBERT UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. North Carolina State is likely to receive Monday an invitation to play in the Sugar Bowl.

The Wolfpack, The News and Observer has learned, probably will be asked even though it was defeated by Penn State, 13-8, here Saturday.

Chick George missed a 28- yard attempt and Tulsa took over at its 20 with 1:01 remaining. On fourth-and-11 at his 19, Tulsa quarterback Glenn Dobbs, son of the coach, completed a 36-yard pass to another quarterback, Mike Stripling. On the next play Dobbs ran for 12 yards and Tulsa picked up an additional 15 because Wake was holding.

That moved the ball to the 18 with 17 seconds left. An eight-yard Dobds-to-Eber pass moved the ball to the 19 with 10 seconds left. Laughridge then came up with the two key defensive plays, and Tulsa's 19-game home winning streak was ended. Tulsa wasted no time in showing off its touted passing game. The Hurricane breezed 67 yards in eight plays on its DIGIT LAUGHRIDGE hero first ball possession, with Stripling completing four of five passes for 48 yards.

The payoff was a one-yard sneak by Stripling. On Wake's first offensive play quarterback Freddie Summers danced around right end before being separated from the ball by Bob Joswick and Bob Junko. Ronnie Allford recovered for Tulsa at the 26. Tulsa was unable to capitalize, missing a 42-yard field goal. The Deacons finally got a break with about seven minutes remaining in the first period.

Brant Conley's punt traveled only 20 yards to the Tulsa 33. Speedy Jack Doblin, Wake's beakaway tailback, ran 22 yards on the first play and then Summers passed nine yards to fulback Ron Jurewicz for the touchdown. Wake drove 50 yards before a drive fizzled at the Tulsa 16 early in the second quarter, but George gave the Deacons three points with a 33-yard field goal. The Deacons got another big break on the ensuing kickoff. Richard Hill, trying to catch the bouncing kick on the run, lost control of the ball and Gavin recovered for Wake on the Tulsa 30.

In five plays Wake got the touchdown. Jurewicz got good blocks from center Joe Dobner and Buz Leavitt and ran nine yards around left end. George's con version made 17-7. A fumble at the Tulsa 22 provided the next touchdown for Wake. Leavitt ran 11, Summers lost seven and Dolbin scampered 17 on a draw play for the touchdown.

With 4:59 leit. That made it 24-7. Tulsa was momentarily stopped at the Wake three late in the half by an interception by Henry. But Wake was unable to move outside the 10. After a 22-yard punt by Laughridge, Stripling passed to Eber for the touchdown.

Tulsa went for the two-point conversion and made it with the same combination. The halftime score was 24-15. Apparently fired up by the late first-halt score, Tulsa stopped Wake on the first series on the second half. Tulsa drove to the Wake 10 and Wyatt kicked a 34-yard See WAKE, Page 5.

Quayle, rated the best running back in the league, scored two touchdowns and for 75 yards. Anderson scored once and gained 106 as Virginia picked up its third win in eight games.

(AP) Mike Haggard's 30-yard field goal in the second quarter gave Orezon State a 3-0 upset victory over top- -ranked Southern California Saturday, despite O. J. Simpson's 183 yards gained rushing. The Beavers, who earlier in the season upset second-ranked Purdue, and last week tied UCLA, No. 2 at the time, got the game's only points with 5:05 left in the first half when points in shutting out Maryland.

Carolina utilized just two ball carriers during the game, quarterback Gayle Bomar, who rushed 18 times for 35 yards, and fullback Tommy Dempsey of Clinton, who carried 17 times for 83 yards. Dempsey scored both Carolina TDs. The 40 points scored by Virginia was the most the Cavaliers have scored this fall. It was also the most points the Tar Heels have allowed this season. The Cavaliers got a touchdown out of their second possession, going 59 yards in seven plays with Quayle covering the final six.

Braxton Hill converted, which he did Twice bad snaps from center foiled conversion tries. David Riggs returned the ensuing kickoff 60 yards to the Virginia 26 but just a few plays later Cavalier defensive back Dennis Borchers stole a lateral and ran 79 yards to score and send the Cavaliers ahead, 14-0.

With fourth and about a foot at the UNC 25, Quayle got more than enough. However, the infraction put the ball back at the 36 for a fourth-and-12 and a deep pass attempt failed. Carolina moved it out to the 46, but then linebacker Peter Schmidt intrcepted a Bomar pass at his 45 and returned to the UNC 29. Quayle took advantage of this break not long afterwards, scooting around left end from the seven.

He was untouched. Tar Heels Rally The big play in that series was a 10-yard pass from quarterback Gene Arnette to end Joe Hoppe on the fourthand-six. It put Virginia on the Tar Heel 15. A bad snap from center spoiled Hill's conversion attempt and it was 20-0 with 6:47 remaining in the half. Carolina didn't fold, coming right back to score on a 60- yard march with the following kickoff.

Dempsey went over from the two on his fourth consecutive rushing attempt. Bomar ran for 12 and passed for 11 in that drive and Dempsey had runs of 12 and 15 prior to scoring. Don Hartig kicked the point and it was 20-7, the same as at the break. The Tar Heels got a break very early in the third period and it seemed they would get back in it after Mike Smith came up with a fumble by Anderson at the Virginia 25. However, on second down, there was another mixup on a pitchout similar to the fatal one earlier.

But Dempsey covered this one at the Cavalier 31. For a loss of eight. Bomar got four on the next play, leaving fourth-and-12 at the 27 and Hartig came in to kick a perfect 44-yard field goal to make 20-10. Virginia immediately retaliated, driving 82 yards to score with the ensuing kickoff, all of the yardage coming on the ground except 15- yard pass from Arnette to Stan Kemp.

Then the OSU attack was three yards and a splash of mud until the Beavers got within field goal range.

Simpson threatened to run away with the game in the first half, racking up 131 on 18 carries. His longest run was 38 yards in the second quarter. Oregon State's 230-pound fullback, Bill Enyart, gained over 100 yards- including 47 on a run ended by his fumble on the USC 19.
