lutely right. From the lucky 13th row where we sat we had a fan's eye view of our team and on defense It looked like Gene Hernandez was all over the field doing some great football playing. On offense, our line opened up some holes big enough for a freight train to go through and Claudia Brown, who has been thrilling us as we watched his fine running game on the JV's and the Varsity for a couple of years, looked kind of like a freight as he rolled over the hapless Edna defense.

The glamorous former first lady and her bronzed, silver- haired husband retired on their wedding night aboard the yacht without revealing their travel plans. At a -champagne reception aboard the Christina Sunday night, the man who rose from teen-age poverty in Turkey to a fortune estimated at $200 million to $500 million dollars said he and his bride hadn't decided where they would go.

The wedding ceremony in the simple, freshly whitewashed Chapel of the Little Virgin on Scorpios was a far cry from the lavish affair in Newport 15 years ago when Jacqueline Bouvier married John Fitzgerald Kennedy at a Roman Catholic Mass. For her second wedding, Mrs. Kennedy wore a beige chiffon and lace overblouse with turtleneck collar and a pleated skirt ending at the knee. It was designed by Valentino, her favorite Roman couturier. A beige ribbon was atop her head and she wore low-heeled shoes matching her dress.

Onassis wore a dark blue suit and red tie, and a white carnation in his buttonhole. Mrs. Kennedy's two children, John F. 7, and Caroline. 10, and the bridegroom's two, Alexander Onas- sis, 21, and Christina, 19, stood beside the couple as Father Polykarpos Athanassiou performed the ceremony.

The bridegroom's sister, Mrs. Alexander Garoufalidou, was the official witness. As a small choir chanted hymns, twin white wedding crowns were crossed over the couple's heads. The priest exchanged two gold rings to symbolize the unity of the couple "in the eyes of God." Unlike the Catholic wedding ceremony, there was no "I do" nor any pledge to love, honor or obey. The priest placed a New Testament encased in gold before the couple and each kissed it.

Wreaths of orange blossoms were then placed on their heads and they did the Dance of Isaiah, a kind of prance in which each tries to step on the other's feet. The one who stomps his partner first, says Greek tradition, will be the dominant partner. In the crowded chapel, however, it was impossible for most to tell who won, and the couple was not saying. Her dark eyes brimming with tears, the new Mrs. Onas- sis was radiant.

Many of the 40 relatives and friends in the little chapel wept with her, including her mother, Mrs. Hugh D. Auchincloss. The quiet, of the ceremony was punctuated by cries from boatloads of Greeks who tried to land on the beach 30 yards away. Coast guardsmen kept them at bay.

After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Onassis rode in a small beach car to the yacht moored nearby. Onassis drove, Caroline sat on her mother's lap, and the bride's sister, Princess Lee Radzi- will, sat in the back with her two children, Anthony and Anne Catherine. Caroline and John were to leave to go back to school in New York.

Their mother and their new stepfather have not yet announced where they will live. Both already have apartments in New York, and Onassis also has residences in Athens, Paris, Antibes and Montevideo as well as on Scorpios. Like her mother and her sister, Mrs. Kennedy went outside her church to marry again. Mrs.

Auchincloss incurred the Roman Catholic penalty of excommunication when she married Auchincloss after divorcing Jack Bouvier when Jacqueline was 10. The same penalty fell on Mrs. Kennedy's sister Lee, when she married Prince Stanislas Radzlwill after divorcing her Hrst husband. But several years later got an annulment of her first marriage from the Vatican Rota and remarried In the church. Vatican theologians said Mrs.

Kennedy also put herself outside the Church by marrying a man her church considers is still married to Tina Livanos, now the Marchioness of Blandford. Although Onassis has both Greek and Argentine citizenship, the marriage had no effect on the former Mrs. Kennedy's American citizenship..
