Conference Roundup

By E. Rufus Dempsey
Cavalier Daily Staff Writer

It was unpleasant - very
sultry - last Saturday
afternoon; certainly not the
cool, crisp autumn weather
that makes football a must on
such a day. Nevertheless,
players and coaches sweltered
through the heat and tensions
of their contests while fans
were making everything
bearable with spirits and
coolers, as the still infant 1970
football season aged through
its third weekend. The Atlantic
Coast Conference was no
exception as its teams partook
in three intra-league games
(including the Virginia-Duke
joust) and two battles with
out-of-Conference foes.

At Raleigh, N.C., South
Carolina's favored Gamecocks
had to come from behind in
order to tie N.C. State.

Both teams played sloppy
football and between them
suffered a total of seven lost
fumbles and four interceptions.
In fact, a fumble in the third
quarter cost South Carolina a
touchdown when Tommy
Simmons dropped the ball
after carrying into the end
zone untouched following a
Tom Suggs pass. Mike Joyce
recovered for the Wolfpack.

South Carolina's lone score
came on a two yard pass from
Jackie Young to Doug
Hamrick, and climaxed a
60-yard drive, which included a
30-yard pass from Suggs to
Mike Haggard.

Pat Kenney had scored a
first-quarter State touchdown
on a 29-yard run two plays
after another Gamecock
fumble.

Each team failed within the
last minute in an effort to win
on a field goal. A 19-yard kick
by State's Mike Charron went
wide and a 47-yard kick by
Gamecock Billy Dupre fell
short. Both kickers had failed
on earlier attempts.

The tie followed two earlier
losses for the Wolfpack while
South Carolina defending ACC
champion, is 1-1-1.

At College Park, Maryland,
a Don McCauley-led North
Carolina team blasted
Maryland by a score of 53-20.

The Tar Heels took
advantage of three fumbles and
an intercepted pass in rolling
up the most points ever against
the Terrapins eclipsing a 50-0
drubbing by Duke in 1941.

McCauley and Ike Ogelsby
each scored twice for Carolina,
while Lewis Jolley, Rick
Lanier, and John Swofford
each tallied once for the
Tarheels.

Maryland's scores came
on two runs by tailback Alvin
Thomas and on a fourth and
20 pass from second-string
quarterback Robert Tucker to
Bob Mahnic with nine minutes
left in the game.

At Tallahassee, Florida, the
barefoot toe of Frank Fontes,
smallest man on the squad,
gave Florida State 13 points
and a 19-14 win over a
stubborn Wake Forest team.
The Seminole kicker connected
on boos from 22, 37, 39 and
47 yards in setting a single
game FSU record.

At Athens, Ga., Sophomore
quarterback James Ray's
passing and fullback Robert
Robert Honeycutt's running
led Georgia to a 38-0 stomping
over Clemson, snapping a
six-game Bulldog losing streak.

The lone bright spot for the
Tigers was the rushing of
Senior ailack Ray Yauger,
who carried 14 times for 71
yards. His longest run of the
day of 30 yards got Clemson
into Georgia territory for only
the second time of the game in

Thus, it seems as if Duke
and North Carolina have
emerged as the teams to watch
in the ripening ACC. Next
weekend, all the ACC clubs go
outside the league with the
exception of the Cavaliers and
Wake Forest.
