Navy kicker Frank Schenk, who missed a last-second field goal three weeks ago in a one-point loss to Delaware, said he knew before the fourth quarter started that yesterday's Army-Navy game was going to be determined by his right foot He was right.

There was no shank by Schenk this time. His 32-yard kick went straight through the uprights with 11 seconds left and gave the underdog Midshipmen (3-8) a 19-17 victory against Army (6-5). The victory for Navy was the first against Army in four tries, the Midshipmen having last Leaten the Cadets, 17-7, in 1985. "Incredible, just incredible," said Schenk, who was carried off the field by quarterback and holder Alton Grizzard after the kick went through. "All week, people told us you never forget beating Army.

Now I know what they're talking about. It's great." The kick culminated a 14-play, 67-yard drive that started with 5:09 left and Navy trailing, 17-16. Senior halfback Mike Burns, who entered the game with six carries for 37 yards in his career, led the way on that final drive with four rushes for 20 yards. But the key play came on fourth-and-2 from the Army 35. Grizzard slipped inside on a keeper and just barely made the first down with 90 seconds left.

"If we didn't make that first down, I don't know what I was going to do with the officials," Coach Elliot Uzelac said. Grizzard followed the first down with a 10-yard carry up the middle to the Army 23. Rodney Purifoy got another 8 yards before Schenk came onto the field with 11 seconds left. "After the Delaware game I told him, 'Son, you're going to kick the winning field goal against Uzelac said.

For The Pittsburgh Press PUYALLUP, Wash. Sometimes even the No. 1 team in the nation needs a little help to win a football game. Westminster College took advantage of a number of Central Washington miscues en route to a 21-10 NAIA Division II semifinal playoff victory yesterday.

The victory sets up a rematch of last year's championship game between the Titans and Wisconsin-LaCrosse next Saturday in Canton, Ohio. Wisconsin-LaCrosse beat Baker 21-6. The No. 2-ranked Wildcats outgained the Titans, but each time Central neared the Westminster end zone, the Titans' defense stiffened. Linebacker Pat Shannon intercepted two passes by Ken Stradley passes in the fourth quarter.

"The difference in the game was our ability to take advantage of their mistakes in the first half," said Westminster Coach Joe Fusco. "And they weren't able to take advantage of ours in the second half." Quarterback Joe Micchia completed 10 of 24 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown. He also scored on a 2-yard run in the second quarter. "They were blitzing us all day and really putting the heat on," Micchia said. "I read them well and the receivers picked them up and made some great catches.

But the defense was the major factor in the game." Central Washington (10-1-1) was leading, 7-0, in the first quarter, when the Titans' defense went to work, forcing the Wildcats to punt on fourth-and-45 from their own 27. A bad snap and a penalty gave the Titans the ball at the Central 7. Four plays later, Micchia went around left end to tie it. On the Wildcats' next possession, running back Pat Patterson fumbled at the Central Washington 43. Micchia threw 37 yards to Dave Foley and 6 yards to Brad Tokar for the score and the Titans had all the points they needed.

After a Central Washington punt, Micchia led the Titans 77 yards for another touchdown, the biggest play a 49-pass from Micchia to Matt Cruny that took the ball to the Wildcats' 13. Tokar took it in from there. The victory extended the Titans' winning streak to 26. "We haven't even thought about being defending national champs," Micchia said. "We're a different team with a different identity.

The only thing that's the same is our goal."
