SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 1967 THE C0UR1ER.J0URNAL TIMES, LOUISVILLE, KY. Rugged Defense, Two Field Goals Win for Western Junior halfback Dickie Moore set two school career marks: Most yards gained (he now has 2,238 compared to the old record of 2,188 set by Gene McFadden from 1950-53); Most rushing attempts (390 to Mc-Fadden's 373). Although he was a marked man, Moore collected 142 yards on 31 carries. So thanks to the defense, Atwood and Moore, Western pulled out its third victory in as many games. East Tennessee now owns a 0-2-1 won-lost record.

Western started out on an alarming note. At least it looked that way when Western quarterback Mike Egan fumbled on the second play of the game and East Tennessee recovered on the Western 31. But the defense came in and stopped the visitors cold, throwing ballcarriers for three straight losses totaling 11 yards and forcing the Tennesseans to punt. Western appeared to be on its way to a touchdown midway through the period, taking over after an East Tennessee punt rolled dead on the Western two-yard line and then using the strong running of Moore to march upfield. The drive was stopped, however, at the East Tennessee 34, when Ron Overbay intercepted a pass by Egan.

While the offense muffed a chance to sparkle, the defense didn't. East Tennessee began to move late in the opening quarter after gaining possession on the Western 40 as a result of a short punt. the Western five-yard line on one occasion and got inside the 36 on four other occasions. But the best it could manage was a 34-yard field goal by Pat Hauscr. That came with 11 minutes, 34 seconds remaining in the game.

Tennessee Can't Budge And the amazing thing about it was tht East Tennessee could get nothing more than the field goal after recovering a fourth-quarter fumble at the Western 16. Elrod's charges just didn't let the Ten-nesseans budge. They gave up one yard on a run, threw another ballcarrier for Mike Young's 17-yard run and a piling-on penalty against Western gave the main impetus, and East Tennessee was on the home team's five-yard line as the scoreless period ended. It looked bad for Western. But again the defense came through.

In three downs, East Tennessee got nowhere. In fact, it went backward, losing the ball on downs at the Western 8. The only points of the first half came with 8:34 to go when Atwood booted a 21-yard field goal. The three-pointer was set up by safctyman Bill Muller's recovery of Young's fumble on the East Tennessee 10. Moore netted six yards in two carries and Egan failed on a pass before Atwood kicked the field goal.

a two-yard loss and forced East Tennessee quarterback Larry Graham to throw a bad pass before relinquishing the field goal. And that set the stage for Tom At-wood's heroics. With only 1:56 to play, Atwood became the first player in OVC history to kick two field goals in a single game. It was a 23-yarder and it won the game (along with the defense, of course, Coach Elrod). Atwood had staked Western to a 3-0 halftime lead with a 21-yard boot in the second period.

Besides Atwood, one other Western offensive player MUST be mentioned. By GARY SCHILTZ Couritr-Journil ft Timet Stiff Writtr BOWLING GREEN, Ky. It was two jurs before the Western Kentucky-East Tennessee football game and Turner El-rod was scolding a sportswriter. "Why is it," the Western defensive roach inquired, "that all we ever read about is offensive players? The defense deserves some recognition, too." The Western defense certainly does, Coach Elrod. So here goes: Thwarting East Tennessee threats time and again, Western Kentucky's DEFENSE paved the way for a 6-3 victory in an Ohio Valley Conference football battle here yesterday.

Millsaps drew within two points at half-time but Daugherty booted a 36-yard field goal to give Georgetown some breathing room in the final period. It was the first loss in two starts for Millsaps. Tolliver, who now has three touchdowns, led a bruising ground attack that racked up 251 yards.

Southwestern, however, came back on a 59-yard pass from Bruce Cook to Bubba Clark which put the ball on the Centre 7. Randy McKean scored on a one-yard run with 2:10 left, making it 20-19. Southwestern then went for the two-point conversion, but Cook's pass was short of the mark. Centre's second win in as many games was sparked by the 67 yards rushing Schenz picked up in 24 carries and the 39 Ingram made in 10 runs. Also, Centre's defense led by Buck Rogers, Joedy Sharpe, Dick Edwards and Bill Silvey limited Southwestern to 13 yards rushing.

However, the visitors amassed 306 passing. LaMonica completed 14 of 24 passes for 163 yards for Centre, which visits Lexington, next Saturday to play Washington and Lee.

The field goal, a 27-yarder by Jimmy Keyes, came on Ole Miss' first series of plays after it stopped Kentucky at the 16-yard line. The touchdown came after Tommy James intercepted a Terry Beadles pass and returned it 33 yards to the Kentucky 16.

Quarterback Bruce Newell went over from the nine-yard line with 13 minutes, 40 seconds left in the first half. Seven minutes later, Wade broke loose "We had hands all over him," Bradshaw said. "It was ridiculous" and it was 17-0. At halftime, Bradshaw made a change in his offensive game plan. "We had Lyons confused with all that stuff we gave him," the coach said.

"So we took away about three-fourths of it and gave him three or four running plays and a couple of passing plays." That helped. UK wound up with 147 yards total offense against a team that has eight holdovers from last year's defensive unit which was third-best in the nation. Lyons completed 6 of 17 passes for 62 yards. His backup man, Beadles, was 0 for 5. Sophomore tailback Dick Beard led UK's ground gainers with 61 yards in nine carries.

Lyons had 45 yards in 17 tries. Ole Miss' Steve Hindman and Wade each picked up 85 yards Hindman in 21 rushes. Wade in 7. UK wasted little time in scoring after the halftime intermission. The second time it got the ball in the second half, Lyons drove the team 80 yards in 12 plays to its first touchdown.

Beard ran for 50 yards in that march, and Lyons completed a fourth- yara iieia goal by lieyes, tnen on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Newell to Mac Haik that ended a 75-yard march. Haik's catch "Our defensive backs got crossed up," Bradshaw said put Mississippi on top 26-7 with 9:46 left. Kentucky's final touchdown, seven minutes later, came on Lyons' two-yard run. Lyons set it up with three passes to split end Phil Thompson, good for 37 yards. Then, UK tried that onsjde kick and was successful.

But that was followed by a delay-of-game penalty. Then Lyons lost 12 yards trying to get off a pass before the big, fast Ole Miss defenders grabbed him. Beadles came in, and he lost 15 yards. A holding penalty against UK moved Ihe ball back to the 12-yard line and it was third down and 52 yards to go for a first down. A pass went incomplete.
