Happiness Is A Homecoming, Win Ufa So PD 7 1 Ground Game Sparks SIU's 31-13 Spree By Lon Eubanks Of The Southern lllinoisan Happiness is a homecoming football win. Southern Illinois University warmed up a chilled crowd Saturday in Carbondale with a 31-13 victory over East Carolina that sent the 14,000 homecoming fans home happy. Coach Ellis Rainsberger's Salukis treated their alumni visitors to their best performance of the season. The first homecoming win in three years boosted their overall record to 3-3-1.

The win was stitched together by a brassy 306-yard SIU splurge on the ground, top output by an SIU team since 1962, and solid defensive play more lively than at any time this season since the year opening upset of Wichita. Halfback Charlie Pemberton and fullback Hill Williams sparked the Salukis outburst. Pemberton cranked out 141 yards and Williams accounted for 116. Roger Kuba added 63 although carrying only nine times. Pemberton and Williams each scored twice and kicker Tim Kelley accounted for all the extra points and a field goal.

That tally seemed to ignite the Salukis on both offense and defense. SIU exploded for two more touchdowns and a field goal in the fourth quarter and the defense was superb. SIU marched from its own 13 for the first score of the quarter with Williams roaring 33 yards up the middle for the payoff. Kelley again hit the kick from placement.

SIU quickly regained possession when defensive end Jim Anderson pulled in a Pirate aerial shot and carried it 15 yards to the East Carolina 11. The Salukis' try for another TD bogged down on the six yard line, but Kelley slanted in a 23-yard field goal to boost SIU's cushion to 24-13 with 12-34 left. Blazing running by Kuba set the stage for SIU's final touchdown. His 21 and 22-yard pickups paved the way for Williams' two-yard plunge for the tally. Kelley's successful kick with remaining made the final margin 31-13.

Notre Dame Scores Win Over Navy Philadelphia (AP) Terry Hanratty turned on the Notre Dame ground power when Jim Seymour' absence crippled his air arm Saturday and led the top-ranked Irish to their sixth straight victory, 31-7 over Navy. Four interceptions, three of them by linebacker John Per-gine, helped Notre Dame throttle the Navy offense. The middies did break the Irish three- game shutout string when John Bergner blocked ob Glad-ieux's punt and recovered for a fourth period score.

Hanratty sneaked over for two Notre Dame TD's and Lar ry uonjar and uiaoieux eacn scored once. With both the 6-foot-4 Sey mour and Paul Snow, his nor mal replacement, unable to play because of injuries, Han ratty was far from the passing marvel of early season. He completed only three of 14 and had two intercepted in the first half.

ITie Pirates took over at the start of the second quarter and marched 76 yards in 14 plays for a touchdown of their own.

Fullback Jim Flowe cracked over from three yards out for the payoff with 11:07 remaining in the period. Peter Moe, the Pirates' soc-cor-style place kicker, missed on the extra point try, however, leaving the Salukis a 7-6 edge. The Salukis threatened on their next try at offense before the drive was halted on the East Carolina 23. An exchange of punts put the Salukis in a hole later and the Pirates grabbed the lead after an SIU punt to the East Carolina 34. After a loss of a yard, half-back Mike Bridges bolted around end for 33 yards and a touchdown with 3:16 to go.

Moe's kick was good for a 13-7 East Carolina lead that stood at half-time. The Salukis went on top to stay in the third quarter, marching 43 yards in 15 plays for a go-ahead seven-point parlay. Pemberton rolled around right end for four yards to cap the surge and Kelley connected on the bonus boot. The key to? the surge came Ml fop ground gainer in the game for the Salukis.
