It's enough to nake a football coach go crazy. Many a game has been lost because,of the players having their minds on the pretty young girls and not on football and it almost happened to Georgia's Vince Dooley Saturday. "We weren't ready to play," Dooley said. "It took us awhile to realize we had a game on our hands." The Bulldogs were down 21-3 when the realization hit home. They drove in for a score but USC's All-America candidate Dickie Harris returned to ensuing kickoff for a touchdown and really made Georgia mad. From that point it was all Georgia. The Bulldogs scored again just before the half to make it 28-18 and then put 34 more on the Cavan 's to USC( By JOE GENOVA Sports Writer Fifty-seven thousand, three hundred ninety-one fans watched and waited for a few agonizing moments as Mike Cavan, Georgia Mike Cavan When you know it's for keeps Happily, all your special symbolized forever by yc wedding rings.

Senior 4ignal caller Tommy Suggs, who enjoyed one of the finest afternoons of his career, got the Gamecocks off and winging before a regional TV audience. The smallish quarterback connected with fleet Jimmy Mitchell on a first down play from the twenty and Mitchell legged it in for a touchdown. Georgia then started moving the ball like they were expected to do. The Dogs tore off yardage from the twenty to the Carolina 19 in 13 plays. Georgia quarterback Mike Cavan rolled right at the 19 and heaved a desperation pass toward an open receiver but Harris stepped in front and raced 94 yards to paydirt. "If therie's a better back around than Harris," Dietzel said, "I'd like to see him." Harris -and Suggs helped thrill the 57,391 on hand as well as the TV njury prot ;amecocks starting quarterback, lay on the ground after being stopped by a fired up Gamecock defense. Cavan left the game, in the second quarter of last Saturday's 52-34 USC loss to Georgia, with his teammates behind 21-3, and Paul Gilbert a senior quarterback listed with the third string came off the bench and riddled the USC defense for 270 total yards, ran for three touchdowns and passed for another. "This is o4e of the biggest days of my life," said Gilbert, inside the confines of a very happy dressing room. "We thought we would '-low them off the field. You just have to give them a lot of credit." "We set our defense to ston Cavan," said Paul Dietzel, USC head coach. "We had nothing on Gilbert. They moved Ricky Lake and Robert Honeycutt into the backfield and tried to run. "We worked all week long to stop the run.

Gilbert, who has tolled at fow different positions for the Bulldogs, completed 13of 20 passes for 243 yards and one touchdown. "We're as proud of Gilbert as we can be," said Dooley. "His performance was one of the finest we have ever seen. "Man, they (USC) had some home run hitters. I've never seen anyone score against us as quick. as they did. They made it difficult to fight back but we did and I'm real proud of the boys. "Harris is something," Dooley continued, "but we knew that. We talked and talked about him returning kicks. The greatest weapon we had to use against him was Rajecki (Georgia placekicker, Peter). When you can kick it out of the end zone there's not much you can do." Dooley also had praise for Suggs. "He's a dandy. His performance ;es more c than Bu found out they could pass," Dietzel said. "We scored quick, and tht defense went right back on the field. They just got tired.

He also completed 13 passes but his was good for 276 yards. Suggs, however, had to try and do it all by himself. While Georgia was amassing 218 yards on the ground Carolina had only a pathetic 14. The Gamecocks had to play with out top ground gainer Billy Ray Rice and the remaining backs were hemmed in by the Georgia defense. "We were pleased with our ef fort," Dietzel said. "We played an exceptional game but didn't play well enough to win. "We got some back breaks late in the game but anything I would say about that would sound like sour grapes so..." The loss was the fourth this year for USC against three wins and a tie, far below preseason ex pectations. The Gamecocks plight doesn't get any better next week. Tennessee comes to .Qarplina'. (a maging !ldogs yard kickoff return by Harris gave USC a quick 21-3 lead. In a game that was not even supposed to be close Carolina was beginning to make it look like a mismatch. Georgia, though apparently stunned by the sudden USC scoring spree, failed to give in. Gilbert engineered a 50 yard scoring drive, capped by Honeycutt's one yard plunge. Tight end Billy Brice then grabbed a two point conversion pass from Gilbert, making the score 21-11. After Carolina came back with a 40 yard Suggs to Haggard touch down pass, Gilbert spearheaded another scoring drive with less than three minutes remaining in the half. Six piays later, the Bulldogs had traveled 73 yards downfield. Gilbert was unable to find a receiver open, and carried the ball the finai eleven yards himself. Georgia had another scoring opportunity erased when a Gilbert pass intended for Putnal was in tercepted in the end zone by Harris. "We played an excellent game, but just not good enough to win," Dietzel commented. "I really felt good at the half. But it turned out to be too bad that they scored just before the half," he concluded. .Send the Gamecock home!

Trailing 16-0, Tech took the lead on a 49 yard toss by sophomore quarterback Eddie McAshan. Tech wrapped the victory up in the closing seconds when David Beavin intercepted a pass and scampered 75 yards for the score.

Tennessee, who took a 20 point lead into the dressing room at halftime, stumbled in the third quarter and put up a 14 on the scoreboard in the last period to smash Wake Forest 41-7. The Deacon offense enjoyed some fine moments on the ground but could not cross the goal line save for a 61 yard dash by Junior Moore on a trap play through the left side. The Vol defense easily keyed on Deacon running back Larry Hopkins, holding him to 66 yards in 21 carries, way below his average per carry and effectively con tained Deacon QB Larry Russell.

Sensational Don Kelley stunned Maryland with two electrifying returns in the fourth period, an 85 yard punt return for a score and a 56 yard sprint with an interception setting up another, as Clemson ended a five game losing streak with a 24-11 vanquish of the Terps at College Park Saturday.
