by Anthony Grier the next time Howard got the ball and State turned that break into points with a 78-yard drive Ragland took care of the bulk of it with a nifty 31-yard sprint and Mix gin added a second-effort nine-yard run to the 15 Reed scored untouched two plays later from the five showed our superiority on offense when we ran straight at Davis said has a good defense They're ping to beat

the NCAA Division I-AA ratings and third in the Sheridan poU of Black Colleges held the expected big margin with a 17-0 lead with 1:11 left in the first half against Howard But the Biaons made things interesting by exploding for 17 quick points and Coach BUI team had to get a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns to avoid a HOLLEMAN SCS FO Gartttar SCS Ragland 1 run iGardnar kick) SCS ROM rut (Gardvn

COURTNEY'S fumble recovery at the Howard 17 and a pretty 17-yard spring by Chris Ragland got the go-ahead score with 8:12 to play and Rocky Cunningham put it away with a superb 66-yard punt return for a touchdown with 6:06 remaining The Bulldogs were dominant in the first half and eagerly turned Howard turnovers into points But the Bison struck with 53 seconds left in the half on a 74-yard Ronald Wilson to Tracey Singleton pass Singleton split two defenders to get the catch and legged it most of the way as the defenders fell by the wayside Howard Ward kicked 42-yard field goal with 5:31 left in the third quarter and then Doug Jones pounced on a State fiimble at the Bulldog five It took three playi for Wilson to get into the end zone and Ward kicked the point to forge 17-17 deadlock But Howard which suffered four turnovers in the first half coughed it up to give State the edge it needed to run its record to 4-0 DAVIS was not altogether pleased with the way his club played more touchdown would have put it he moaned didn't have the killer instinct on offense" Ragland had about everything else He rushed for 152 yards on 32 carries to key an overland attack that gobbled up 349 yards 224 of them in the first half Mack Reed added 90 yards on 12 carries but his only attempt in the second half resulted in a three-yard loss SC State took advantage of a couple of turnovers and breakaway running by Ragland and Reed to build its 17-0 lead Mike Triplett fell on a fumbled punt at the State 47 with about four minutes left in the first quarter Reed broke off right tackle for 21 yards a couple of plays later to get A1 Gardner in position for a 26-yard field goal with 46 seconds left in the opening period Reed also broke one for 43 yards one play after Ward vr through 'V -1

Saturday night at Snyder Field that a time-consuming running game la better than passing game as the Terriers defeated Carson-Newman 28-14 The Lenny Best led Wofford's ground assault with 158 yards and two touchdowns and the Eagles failed to take advantage of opportune tes created by four Wofford fumbles touchdowns included a 40-vard run in the second quarter His other touchdown was a one-yard run in the first quarter Jeff Sarvis ran two yards in the second quarter and Charlie Bradshaw scored on four-yard run in the fourth for the Wofford win with Rob Andrews kicking the points after Canon-Newman scored in the second quarter on a one-yard run by Hugh Rutledge and again in the fourth quarter with Jay Andrews running three yards for the touchdown and Doug Jennings kicking the points after WOFFORD ranked eighth in last NAIA District 6 poll is now 4-0 while Carson-Newman dropped to 2-1 Wofford took control of the game in the early going running 28 plays to Carso d-Newman's eight in the first quarter On only their second possession the Terriers plowed 49 yards in 12 running plays to take a 7-0 lead The big plays were an 11-yard reverse by Richard Ross and an 11-yard sweep' by

Andrews converted the PAT again Carson-Newman finally got going on its next possession as quarterback Jay Andrews hit Charles Gibson for a 25-yard gain and Jimmy Henson for 10 on a 14-play 68-yard march A pass interference call against Tony Painter in the end zone gave Carson-Newman the ball on the me and Hugh Rutledge scored two plays later WOFFORD countered with a six-play 74-yard drive to go up 21-7 The bulk of the drive came on 40-yard cutback scoring run had to be pleased with our overall said Sasser look too good in the fourth period I hated to see the fumbles We fumbled three times in one quarter after going 15 quarters with only three fumbles And I'm dissa-pointed that we control the ball st the end of the game anytime you can hold a team like Carson-Newman to 14 points done a good Job defensively They've averaged 27 points per game over the last seven games" Gamble Paid Off (Con tin Red From 1-D) comerback Chuck Finney Taking over it that point the Gamecocks stormed to the game-winning touchdown practice we worked on everything and we weren't surprised when they pulled a fake punt on said Carlen were playing for the fake punt the whole way and the gamble paid off I feel that stopping them at that point was the turning point of the MICHIGAN Coach Bo Schembechler said the noise of the crowd over 104000 was a factor in the Wolverines failing on that crucial fourth-down attempt intent was to run if they gave us die run and they he explained later were trying to run a safe play but two players at the point of attack couldn't hear the signals and it cost Schembechler who suffered only his 21st loss since coming to Michigan 12 years ago said he did not consider trying a field goal in the dying seconds when he' had the ball inside Carolina's 10 don't think the team would have wanted a tie in a non-conference he said it had been a conference game we definitely would have considered the field goal".
