21 1 RICHMOND, Va. Someone forget to tell Richmond's Buster O'Brien that when it's pouring down rain, you aren't supposed to pass as the tall, lean Spider quarterback picked the Furman pass defense apart to protect Terrier Comeback Upends Newberry ern Conference with a 34-0 victory here Saturday night. While most of the running backs spent the night slipping and sliding on a muddy field, O'Brien couldn't have been sharper. He used an old favorite of his, Walker Gillette, as his prime receiver. O'Brien threw four touchdown passes and three of them went to Gillette, who smashed the Southern Conference receiving record with 198 yards in O'Brien and Gillette first connected in the second quarter on a 69-yarder, teamed up for a 58-yarder early in the third quarter and then came right back for a 48-yarder the next time the Spiders were in control.

For good measure, O'Brien threw in a four-yard toss to Tommy England in second period. For the night, O'Brien connected on eight of 13 passes for 239 yards. Gillette was on the receiving end of five for 198 yards. Richmond watched the Palad-1 ins spend the first half in frustration as they missed out on two scoring opportunities and then took control. After opening a 14-0 lead at halftime, O'Brien continued his aerial assault.

The Spiders failed to move the ball on their first try in the final 30 minutes, but O'Brien then spotted Gillette the two combined for 58 yards to make it 20-0 with 5:30 left in the third period. The next time Richmond had control, O'Brien and Gillette gave the Spider fans plenty to rave about when they hooked up for another bomb, this one for 48 yards and the spiders had their third straight conference win safely tucked away with a 27-0 lead and only 1:37 left in the third period. Reserve quarterback Charlie Richards also got in on the passing act. The Spiders recovered a fumbled punt on Furman's 45-yard line and marched in for the score. Facing a fourth and five situation at the six, Richards hit Joe Bisese for the score to make it 34-0 with 6:05 left in the game.

The Paladins dominated the first period, but failed to cash in on two big scoring opportunities. Midway through the first half, Jim Livesay had a punt partially blocked deep in his own territory and the Paladins had their first big chance with possession on the Spiders' 21. Three running plays carried to the 12 and, on a fourth inches situation, halfback Pete Malone was dropped for a twoyard loss. Only minutes later, The Paladins were knocking on touchdown door again when they took over on Richmond's 37 following a short punt by Livesay. A 12-yard pass to Jordan carried to the Spiders' 19, but the Paladins failed to move the ball on three plays, and Marshall Williams missed on a 35-yard field goal attempt.

Then the Spiders air attack began to click. Following the missed field goal, Richmond took over on its own 20 and, on the fifth play, O'Brien hit Gillette, who raced 68 yards for touchdown with 13:25 left in the half. Reserve quarterback Charlie Richards and O'Brien each had a hand in the spiders second TD. Richards hit Livesay for a 22-yard gain that carried to the Furman eight to set up score.

An inspired Newberry defense earned a 7-7 first half stale mate, but the strong Terriers scored a third period field goal and a fourth period touchdown, both set up by their defense. Newberry quarterback Gary Welchel fumbled at his own 39 in the third stanza and, after a motion penalty, Wofford drove to the Indians' eight where Bob Deale booted a 26-yard, fourthdown field goal with 5:53 left in the period.

Wofford nursed its 10-7 advantage into the fourth period when the Terrier defense, led by Bruce Johnson, forced Welchel's bad pitch to Don Burton and Wofford recovered at the Indian 36. The Terriers went the remaining distance in 11 plays, aided by a face mask penalty, and Ted Phelps gained the final yard with a leap over right tackle with 8:35 to play in the game. Deale's conversion gave the visiters their 17-7 bulge. Newberry, held to minus three yards on the ground in the second half, desperation the Wofford 20 in a attempt to narrow the gap before time ran out. The Terriers are now 2-3, while Newberry's record plunged to 1-4.

Wofford's offense was inconsistent throughout the evening. The Terriers rushed for 222 yards and 18 first downs, but became bogged down four times in Newberry territory.

Taylor swept left end on the first play, but fumbled at the goal.

The ball rolled out of the end zone for a touchback and Wofford took over at its own 20. The Terriers, who were stopped three times in Newberry territory in the first half, tied the score with 39 seconds left in the half. Randy Bringman returned a Newberry punt 18 yards to the Indian 22 and on the next play, Phelps took a screen pass from Pitisci behind a solid blocking wall and hurdled the final Newberry defender at the one to score.
