By RANDY LANEY State Sports Writer up with their best effort of the A year, the Tigers' defense must get the lion's share of the plaudits. Tech managed only one first down that on a later interference penalty and 20 yards total offense in the second half, 10 rushing and 10 passing.

So completely did Clemson's defense bottle up the Yellow Jackets in the final 30 minutes that Tech ran only 19 plays from scrimmage. Clemson got on the board first when Fellers lofted a 12-yard pass to Cunningham which the 6-5 junior made a leaping catch of in the end zone for a 7-0 Tiger lead with 14:13 left in the second quarter. But Tech cranked up its attack, cut the margin with a Denny Smith 33-yard field goal less than two minutes later and went ahead on a one-yard Clemson's Ken Staff Photo By Vie Tutte Turning The Corner (See CLEMSON, 6-D, Col. 1) Misses Tackle.

The fireballing right-hander became only the fifth pitcher in major league baseball history to hurl three no-hitters.

Ryan joined Sandy Koufax of Los Angeles, who had four no-hitters, Larry Corcoran of the Chicago Cubs, Jim Maloney of Cincinnati and Bob Feller of Cleveland, who had three apiece, in the select circle. It was the third no-hitter of the 1974 season, all of them coming in the American League. The 27-year-old Ryan struck out 15 batters and walked eight en route to his 22nd triumph against 16 defeats. He struck out the side in both the first and second innings. Ryan's previous no-hitters were May 15th, 1973 a 3-0 decision over the Kansas City Royals and July 15, 1973 a 6-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

The previous no-hit efforts this season were earned by Kansas City's Steve Busby who stopped Milwauke June 19th and Cleveland's Dick Bosman who turned the trick against Oakland exactly one month later.

Georgia, which had been having its trouble on defense on the first two weekends of the season, also dominated South Carolina's offense. The Bulldogs limited the Gamecocks' potentially explosive veer offense to 216 yards on the ground and just one completed pass, that for 21 yards.
