Don McCauley, the heavy duty running back who was player of the year in the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1969, ran for 160 of 284 ground yards; and Paul Miller, a junior lefthander from Ayden, completed six of nine passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns. Ken Craven of WinstonSalem, who came out for the team when Coach Bill Dooley advertised that he needed a placement kicker, provided field goals of 28 and yards. This made it a balanced attack against a team that stresses defense.

The veteran Tar Heel defenders shut out the Wildcats in the second half. Kentucky got its touchdown after a pass interception and its field goal after recovering a Carolina fumble. for these two errors, Dooley's fourth Carolina squad lived up to its high pre-season ranking and served notice on future foes that there are few problems here. The new men in the secondary handled their assignments well for most of the bright afternoon. McCauley was called upon 28 times and displayed the same power and balance of his other two outstanding seasons here.

Kentucky knew to stop the senior from New York, but the veteran offensive line opened holes for Sports Index Sports Observer Page 2 Scoreboard Page 2 Mets, Bucs, Cubs Page 2 U. S.

He knew what to do with his opportunities. To cap another great performance, he took a pass from Miller for a 48-yard touchdown on the first play of the final period that sent the Carolina lead to 20-10.

That broke the back of the Wildcats, who found the Tar Heel defense too rugged for allowing a sustained attack. Miller, who never played in a losing high school game at Ayden, showed complete recovery from a back injury that put him out of action at midseason of last fall. He won the starting assignment in a three-way fight with Johnny Swofford and sophomore Mike Mansfield. Miller's winning job was not announced, and Kentucky may have been surprised to encounter a lefthander. The Wildcats were caught with their defenses down when Miller would roll in one direction and throw back to the other.

He showed the ability to add home run punch to the bruising ground attack. Kentucky, in the second season under Johnny Ray, is supposed to have a much stronger team than last season's. It rushed for 143 yards and passed for 108, but the Tar Heels outgained the Wildcats running and passing, 425 yards to 251. Kentucky scored first, taking advantage an interception that gave it the ball on the Carolina 38.

CARR Staff Writer 33 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The lights dimmed quickly in the Gator Bowl, and Florida's football team fled through the shadows to their dressing room, undoubtedly delighted that they did not have to see anymore of Duke and Leo Hart. It was over after what had seemed like an eternity it was over, and the Gators had escaped with a 21-19 victory before some 53,000 partisans who were sweating due to the heat generated by both Duke and the weathermen. The Gators' defense bent and wavered and snapped several times due to the i incessant thrusts of Hart and relentless runner Steve Jones, but they also toughened many times when backed into the shadows of their goal line and got enough big plays to win it. Alvarez Goes 67 They seemed to have it all wrapped uD 13 seconds left in the "third quarter, because fleet Cuban Carlos Alvarez triggered the most electrifying play of the night, returning a punt 67 yards for a touchdown.

It was a beaut. He started toward the right sidelines, cut up field behind several blockers, then broke back across the middle of the field and sped into the end zone for a 21-6 Florida Moments before Mike leadat. Kelly had almost decapitated Duke's receiver, Dennis Satyshur, who was trying to catch a pass from Hart. All the signs seemed to portend a sudden Gator runaway. But it was not to be.

Suspense saturated this game to the end. For Duke scored twice in the final 7:43 seconds with Hart hitting Satyshur on a an 18-yard maneuver, then sending the rugged sophomore, Jones, cracking around end from nine yards out with 1:26 left. That made it 21-19, Gators. Fumble Hurts The big hangup came, however, after the Satyshur score. Duke simply botched its two-point conversion attempt, fumbling and it just might have been the killer fumble.

Florida, however, could not run out the clock on its next possession, and punted high to the Blue Devil 30. Now there were 18 seconds on the clock and 70 yards to travel. Not even Leo Hart could overcome those odds. Three times he tried the bomb a desperation move but he never pushed the right button, and the game belonged to Florida, which was playing its first game under new head coach, Doug Dickey The statistics both team and individual also shed some light on the closeness of the contest. It had been billed as a passing duel between Duke's Hart and Wes Chesson, and Florida's John Reaves and Alvarez and all four contributed immensely.

It's very hard to beat a football team that is equally capable of ramming the ball down your throat and coming up with the long bomb. Particularly if you make mistakes. Wake Forest found out in its opening game against The Saturdaurprised the Nebraska Cornhuskers by taking an early 3-0 Nebraska's lead. But ability mistakes come a and up with the big play quickly proved Wake Forest's undoing.

Nebraska stormed 29-5 halftime lead and coasted to a 36-12 victory. But the Deacons had no reason to embarrassed. They showed an ability to move the ball, both on the ground a they" the air although stuck mainly to the ground. Nebraska, with more speed than in previous years, should beat some Big Eight opponents more handily than they did the Deacons. It was a cold midwestern day, and 66,103 spectators were on hand the largest crowd Wake has ever played before.

The temperature, which reached 78 Friday, was only 54 at kickoff time and a sharp wind made it seem even more chilly. With fullback Larry Hopkins providing some good running, Wake managed to strike first after nearly seven minutes when Tracy Lounsbury kicked a field goal. A long bomb soon erased the lead. A fumble put the Cornhuskers in a position to strike again. In the second period, Nebraska ground out the yardage for another score with their familiar power offense, and then put the game out of reach with another lightning thrust.

The Cornhuskers had a 29-5 lead at the half, but to Wake Forest's credit the Deacs refused to wither away in the second half. Nebraska took advantage of another fumble for a third quarter touchdown. The Deacons turned the ball over on their own 29 and Joe Orduna scored on a twisting 20-yard run. But that was all the scoring for Nebraska, and the Deacons finally managed to get a touchdown of their own with 53 seconds left. After putting Wake Forest in position with his passes, quarterback Jim McMahon who sat on the bench until the final period hit Gary Johnson on a 12-yard touchdown pass.

But for a couple of additional fumbles in the fourth one by McMahon on his first play Wake might have scored some more. A fumble recovery by defensive back Frank Fussell set up Lounsbury's early field goal. The Deacons had driven See CORNHUSKERS, Page 6 5 TOLEDO, Ohio Mike McGee's first game as a head coach was a nightmare for the former Duke All-America as Toledo's explosive Rockets handed East Carolina a 35-2 pasting here Saturday night. Although the Pirates put a respectable performance in the final three periods of the season opener, early mistakes proved costly. The Mid-American Conference and Tangerine Bowl champions, coming off an 11-0 season, showed no mercy.

The Rockets of Coach Frank Lauterbur went for the Pirates' throat at every opportunity before 14,106 fans in the Glass Bowl. Toledo raced to a 21-0 lead before the first quarter ended, and held a comfortable 28-2 margin at the half. first half proved decisive and only one touchdown was chalked up in the final two periods. The Rockets put seven points on the scoreboard the first time they got the ball, marching 57 yards in six plays. Junior fullback Charlie Cole got the touchdown on a 13-yard scamper around left end with only 2:13 elapsed.

East Carolina made its first mistake on its opening possession and Toledo had 14 points tallied. On a third-and-three play from his 25, Pirate John Cassazza, a junior college transfer from Chowan, made a bad pitch on an option play. Under a heavy rush, Casazza's pitch to tailback Les Strayhorn was high and wide, and end Bob Rose pounched on the ball for Toledo at the ECU 11. Two plays later, tailback Joe Schwartz went off right tackle from five yards for the second touchdown with only 4:44 elapsed. The second mistake was a blocked punt.

Back against his 21 own goal on fourth down, Earl Clary was unable to clear the See TOLEDO, Page 8.
