a 2-11 The News and Observer, Raleigh, N. C. Sunday, November 2, 1975 Joe Tiede No Roses for McKay It's no reflection on John McKay to say he'll find pro football a vastly different proposition from college football. There's no denying the outstanding record he compiled at Southern Cal. But geography is the number one factor in determining college football success and USC is exceptionally well-favored in this regard.

McKay obviously received an offer that was very difficult to refuse. But he isn't any more likely to stand the NFL on its ear than was former Oklahoma Coach Chuck Fairbanks, who's in his third year with New England. It's a different game and a different world. For two years at Chapel Hill, Robert Pratt and Ken Huff played side by side on Carolina's offensive line. Now they're playing the same position with the Baltimore Colts and Pratt, a second-year pro, is starting ahead of Huff, a first-round rookie, at left guard.

Playing beside Pratt at left tackle is Chapel Hill native David Taylor, a 6-6, 257-pounder who went to Catawba. Taylor's a third-year pro. ACC schools have been picking up quite a bit of loose change this season as a result of four conference appearances on regional television. The total comes to over $80,000 each for members not involved in the games and more than that for participating schools. State has made two appearances, one at Michigan State and one Saturday against South Carolina.

Virginia was on for its VMI game and Maryland for the game at Kentucky. A regional TV game is worth $180,000 to each team, but the ACC divides the kitty eight ways, with the participating team receiving two shares. Wishbone teams in college football are outdoing all others in yards rushing, total offense, and points scored. A statistical breakdown shows Wishbone offenses averaging 277.4 yards rushing, compared to 205 yards for Veer teams, 196.5 for 'I' teams, and just under 180 for all others. NCAA figures show 17 major teams running the Wishbone, 32 the Veer, 42 the 'I'.

and 43 other offenses such as wing and multiple 1 T. Lou Holtz and Jim Carlen had one thing in common as they directed their teams at Carter Stadium Saturday. Each had produced bowl teams the last three seasons. An additional similarity is that each would like to make it four. South Carolina will be favored in its remaining games against Appalachian, Wake Forest and Clemson, but State will be an underdog next week at Penn State.

Football Rematches State Athletic Director Willis Casey believes the -day will come when home and home dates are scheduled in college football, just as they are in college basketball. He favors the idea. "Expenses would be cut and I believe such games would draw better than many others on the schedule," he says. Casey feels, for instance, that a second Wake Forest-State game this year would be a popular attraction, as would a State-Carolina rematch. "You'd have to start out with just one of these, but I think it's worth a First step towards such an idea would be passage of a national moratorium on scheduling, which i is presently being done 10 to 12 years in advance.

Casey believes there's a good chance a six-year limit on scheduling will be passed by the NCAA, if not at the next convention at least in the near future. Wake Forest graduate Norm Snead hasn't received as much publicity as the others, but he became the fifth player in pro history to pass for over 30,000 yards. He reached the figure last week, joining John Unitas, Fran Tarkenton, Sonny Jurgensen, and John Roman Gabriel, a college contemporary of Snead's, is currently the third-ranked passer in National Conference statistics. Roman has fired 10 touchdown passes, second high in the league. A new collection of sports trivia entitled "Triviata" reveals that the first night baseball game was played in 1883 in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

It was witnessed by 2,000 spectators. Another item concerns the longest fight in history. It was listed as a 110- rounder between Andy Bowen and Jack Burke in 1893. The seven hour. 19 minute bout was declared no contest.

Vandy Rallies By Cavs, 17-14 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)- Lonnie Salder rushed for 147 yards and scored twice and teammate Steve Curnutte intercepted a pass at his 2-yard line with 1:23 left as Vanderbilt trimmed Virginia 17-14 Saturday afternoon in a non-conference college football game. Vanderbilt broke a 3-game losing streak and evened its record as Sadler scored on runs of 1 and 2 yards. But Virginia quarterback Scott Gardner marched the oftbeaten Cavaliers to the Commodore 7-yard line in the last four minutes before Curnutte picked off a pass. Sixth Straight The loss was the Cavaliers' sixth straight defeat and left them with a 1-7 record.

After a scoreless first quarter, Sadler scored from 2 yards out in the second period, but Virginia tied it on a 1-yard run by Gardner later in the quarter and then went ahead on a 12-yard pass from Gardner to David Sloan just before half time.

Leo Jenkins, chancellor of East Carolina University, announced Saturday the promotion of William Earl (Bill) Cain to the post of ECU athletic director. Jenkins accepted the recommendation of a special committee in naming Cain to succeed Clarence Stasavich who died a week ago. Cain, who had served as assistant athletic director since 1973, was named acting athletic director upon Stasavich's death. Cain, 42, is a Rockingham native who starred in football at ECU and was co-captain of the football team in 1959 and an all-Carolinas Conference end in 1958 and 1959. He graduated from ECU in 1959 and got his master's degree in 1961.

(UPI) Chris Bahr's 40-yard field goal halfway through the final period Saturday gave ninthranked Penn State a 15-13 victory over ranked Maryland. Maryland placekicker Mike Sochko missed a chance to win the game when his attempt from 42 yards with 15 seconds left fell wide to the right. The victory was the Nittany Lions' 14th in a row over Maryland. Penn State scored three times in the first nine minutes but not again until Bahr's kick with 7:24 remaining in the game.

Bahr, who missed field goals in the second and third quarters and was only one for four all season from 40 to 49 yards, made the crucial kick after the 15th ranked Terps held the Nittany Lions for nine straight series of downs. Sochko Puts Terps Ahead Sochko had put Maryland ahead 13-12 on a 31-yard field goal midway in the third quarter after defensive back Jim Brechbiel stole the ball from Penn State's Larry Pirates Topple Suhey, who was 21 yards into a possible 88- yard touchdown run. Brechbiel caught up with Suhey at the Maryland 35, hit him and stole the ball. Maryland Coach Jerry Claiborne elected to go for three points with fourth and one and the 14 and the score 12-10 in favor of Penn State. The same decision by Penn State Coach Joe Paterno worked in the final period when his team faced fourth and one at the 21.

Scouts from five post season bowl games attended the contest along with almost 59,000 others, the largest crowd ever to witness a sports even in the Washington area. Maryland fumbled on its first two possessions and allowed Bahr, the nation's top field goal kicker, to hit three-pointers from 37 and 44 yards.

-Jim Bolding, the nation's top pass interceptor; picked off another one against Furman's David Whitehurst, giving him eight for the season and 17 for his career. Saturday night's pickoff by High Point enabled him to equal the Southern Conference career mark (17) set by Davidson's Whit Morrow from 1967-69. East Carolina had it easy on just one play against the rugged, hard-hitting Paladins. That was Strayhorn's 62-yard jaunt on the Bues' first play from scrimmage that lifted them into a 7-0 lead. It was an important scamper, because the Bucs never trailed after that big play.

The Pirates came back after a 31-yard Furman touchdown pass to take a 14-7 halftime lead on a three-yard run by Mike Weaver, then seemed to lose their offensive energy in the third period. Furman took advantage of the lapse to capitalize on a short punt, marching from the ECU 49 to the 15 where the bid stalled. On fourth and two, Andy Goss booted a 32-yard field goal to cut the margin to 14-10, which rekindled for Dye memories of the loss to Richmond. Midway in the final quarter, however, the Pirates put together their first sustained drive of the second half a 59-yard effort that was keyed by Strayhorn's 26-yard gallop and his eight-yard touchdown burst around left end. On the next series, Bolding intercepted a halfback pass by the Paladins to virtually clinch the victory.

Although no scoring resulted, Furman's Baker felt one of the game's big plays came early in the fourth period when ECU punted. The low, driving punt by Tom Daub hit Jimmy Kiser on the shoulder pad, and alert Terry Brayboy jumped on the ball for the Bucs at the Paladin 24. The Pirates eventually reached the Furman six, but Paul missed a 23-yard field goal on fourth down. "We had the momentum going until then," said Baker. "'We had been holding them and we had been moving the ball.

Jimmy usually fields the ball well, but this was just one of those things." The fumble certainly helped the Pirates get back on the pattern they had established in the first half, when Strayhorn set them in motion. Taking a handoff from Weaver on first down, Strayhorn appeared headed for a short gain on the dive play at left tackle. The shifty runner saw that the hole was closed, so he cut sharply to the oustside and broke into the clear around left end. He out ran the panting Paladin defenders to the goal line for a 62- yard scoring jaunt. Larry Paul's placement made it 7-0 with just three minutes elapsed in the contest.

Late in the quarter, Furman began a more methodical march toward the end zone the talented Whitehurst keeping the 70- yard alive with occasional passes. Finally, after being dropped for a two-yard loss back to the ECU 31, Whitehurst faded back and launched an aerial to wide receiver Tommy Southard, who snagged it on the goal line and tumbled into the end zone with defender Bobby Myrick draped around his legs. Andy Goss' kick, only six seconds into the second period, tied the score. Furman recovered an onside kick and launched another drive, but the bid was halted when linebacker Harold Fort picked off a Whitehurst pass at the eight and ran it back to the 19. Weaver then took command.

He kept twice for 19 yards, gave to Willie Hawkins twice for five, then kept again for nine more. He hit Hawkins on a 29-yard pass, handed to Strayhorn for five to move the ball to the Furman 21. Five plays later, from the three, Weaver ran the option to the left side, kept himself and scored standing up. Paul's boot made it 14-7 at the half. Furman East Caro.
