About a team with heart and guts tha't rose up and burst a Purple bubble. Yessir, Oneonta 13. Norwich 7.

Say it over and over again. Sweet to your cars. Norwich coach Kurt Beyer, his mu ch time In the dressing room, players and the socalled experts Quinn klcki off from hii 25 to were dumbfounded. They ronsid- the OHS 35, wind In favor ered Oneonta mediocre. But they Jurash returns to the 42.

Konstanty tries some passes, Incomplete, sneaki 5, Sweeney slants off tackle to the 8, loses a yard and fumbles on an end run.

Norwich recovers on the 9. OHS bottles 'em up, and Quinn punts from the 11 to the OHS 39.

Score still Norwich 7, OHS I TouHh quarter: Sweeney goes 6 to the 23, but Dick Natoli recovers a fumble for Norwich on the 25.

And on the next play, Bouton skips down the left sidelines 30 yards to paydlrt The fans go wild as Konstanty sneaks It over for the extra points. Score OHS 13. Norwich 7. Norwich tries to drive upfield after kickoff. Caravaglio and Quinn mix It up to the 47.

Quinn takes It to the OHS 39. then the 33. An offside penalty puts it back to the 38. They gain three more, lose one on a raizle-dai- zle reverse which had no one fooled except this sportswriter QUINN passes to Brown for a first down on the OHS 21. Brown goes to the 16.

But the Tornado again are penalized 5 yards offside. Caravaglio is stopped at the 17. Quinn throws a pass. Sweeny deflects It, John Mouyos intercepts at 7, runs it back to the 14. OHS docked yards offside, back to the 9, with minutes left to play.

Sweeney runs It back 14 to the 23, gets a first down on the 31, another on the 43, then OHS eats up the clock at midfield as the game ends. SIDELIGHTS--This was the best officiated game OHS had all season. The Syracuse officials deserve a lot of credit-referee Ted Webster, umpire Bill Metz. linesman Tom Niland, field Judge Tom Monforte. They controlled the game throughout, allowed no roughness, no stalling, no Inching forward.

Varsity quarterback Larry Santos was Baker's decoy, deserves lust as much credit as any other teammate. Norwich scouted him cold, but couldn't do anything with Konstanty. Big Jim didn't go to the pep rally the night before the game, slept soundly, didn't know he'd be in until he was sent In the OHS line, varsity and sophomore both, were terrific. Just before the second half, "Meathead" Hadsell tore a pro- Norwich letter off the OHS locker room bulletin board raced to the Norwich bench, handed it to Quarterback Caravaglio and taunted, "here, that's all you'll get today." HERE'S hoping a the boosters and the whole town get behind the team and give 'em a victory' dinner before too long It jeemed life most of the 2.000 fans were on the sidelines rather than In the bleachers the OHS band, color guard and cheerleaders did a Fn.I.lUCK CHUCK SWEENEr sweeps right end for yardage in OHS-Norwich game. 20 for Norwich is Lcvi Brown.

Syracuse Sees Bowl Game Fade By The Associated Frets Colgate.and Cornell took bou-s the winners' circle today while Syracuse packed away for another season its dream of a bid to a lost-season football bowl came. Colgate bounced back from IWD straight defeats to shut out Buck, nell 32-0 Saturday.

Long passes rom quarterback Ray Harding to 3ig AI Jamison set up two Red Haider tallies. Cornell ground out a 13-6 decision over Brown and moved up to third place in the Ivy League standings a spot that seemed lolly indeed compared with last year's sojourn In the cellar. a meanwhile, w-as Jim Komlintj Secrtt Weapon all add up to a tremendous psychological and moral victory for Coach Lloyd Baker. AMI FOR A team that never ijuit. A team that vas "up" all week.

A team that wanted to win no bad they could taste it. This was a team that shoved Norwich all over the field. The final score wasn't indicative ol Oneonta's supremacy. After the opening whistle, Oneonta wasn't to be denied. At least four times Oneonta was denied touchdowns by bad breaks- fumbles, penalties, luckless passing and chilly weather.

But the 'Jack ets shook off the breaks and came back downticld time after time. Konstanty, who sat on the bench all year but for a few minutes against Mohawk, undoubtedly was Baker'g "secret weapon." Norwich had regular Q. B. Larry Santos spotted cold. Every time Santos was in.

Norwich tackled him. whether he had the ball or not. IU.T they forgot Konstanty, son of a famous pitcher. Big. like his father, and rangy too, who wasn't even listed on the program, he guided Oneonta to A sophomore who was superb.

Sweeney's running w'as great. When O113 needed yardage, he got it. Bouton was his perfect foil. The no-hit pitcher ran like a scared jaekrabbit 20 yards down the sidelines lor the winning tally. Alter it was all over, the fellows threw their helmets in the air, whooped it up, and carried Sweeney off the field.

And although schrol ollicials forbade a victory parade, the ters loaded their team into twi trucks and rode up and down Main Street to the cheers ol the whole town. GAME first Ifuarter: Norwich kicked ell, Sweeney returned to the 22. a in at quarterback, sneaks a yard. Santos in, no gain. Sweeney gains 3.

Weir 3 more. Sweeney then raced 41 yards for a score. But OHS was detected ol clipping upfield. and the TD was nullified. HALFBACK DENNY WEIK scores first Oneonta touchdown In 13-7 victory over Norwich.

10 battle for a 3-year-old turf title was as wide open as ever today because Bold Ruler, a colt better krwwn for his speed than staying ability, soundly trounced Gallant Man and Round Table in the 350 Trenton Handicap at Garden State Park. The mile and one-quarter test rUuwucday was billed as the race for the 3-year-old title chiefly because most of the experts believed wxxild be a duel between Round Table, winner of 10 straight races, and the record smashing Gallant Man. Bold Ruler went to the front at the start. expected, but this time he did not fade in the stretch. He scored by lengths over Gallant Man who wtnt otf the favorite.

Round Table finished third and last, lengths behind Gallant Man. Trainers Molter of Round Table and Johnny Nerud of Gallant Man rach said before the race that Bold Ruler was th horse to fear. Each said that a speed horse had the advantage In a small field. Each said Bold Ruler would set the pace and if he ever got five or six lengths in front. It wwild be all over.
