Allegheny quarterback John Lo-gue completed only four of 10 passes for 26 yards for in the rain-soaked game, but one of his completions was a 10-yarder to Derek Paxton for the Gators' touchdown in the first quarter.

The play was set up by a fumble recovery at the Ohio Wesleyan 17. Ohio Wesleyan, which did not complete any of its four passes, cut Allegheny's lead to 7-3 with a 24-yard field goal by Brent Stiffle in the fourth period.

Brad Tokar scored on a 5-yard pass from Joe Micchia and a 5-yard run, and Micchia scored on a 5-yard keeper after Westminster trailed at the half, 7-0. Jeff Shearer had scored for Buffalo State (1-6) on a 5-yard run. Tokar carried 30 times for 112 yards and Micchia completed nine of 17 passes for 85 yards.

I 7. 7 OR Includes: Ol CMU took over and drove to the Presidents' 20, where Jim Kelly missed a 37-yard field-goal attempt. Washington Jefferson led, 7-0, at halftime and Luckhardt did not expect much more scoring. "I thought it was a 10-7 kind of ballgame and the winner would be the team that didn't fumble the snap." With 2:59 remaining in the third quarter and the Presidents in a fourth-and-6 situation from the Tartans' 31, CMU's Mark Mittelhauser broke up Aigner's pass to Rob Dom-browski. Chris Hansen bulled his way in the end zone for a 3-yard touchdown with 12:52 remaining in the fourth.

But whatever hope CMU had of taking the lead were dashed when Paterno's two-point conversion pass was intercepted by Chris Bosser. The Presidents needed only four plays to secure the victory. Aigner down of the season, a PAC record, and 20th of the year, a school record. Ivory's point-after gave Washington Jefferson a 14-6 lead with 10:50 remaining. "Ostensibly, it was over," Luckhardt said.

"Our defense went back in and settled down and played well." CMU fumbled away its next opportunity before Paterno drove the Tartans from their 20 to 31 before fumbling again with 59 seconds remaining. "It hurts less when you play with the heart and desire these kids had today," CMU Coach Rich Lackner said. ranked fourth in the NCAA Division III South Region, closes out its regular season Saturday at Ithaca (8-1).

Washington Jefferson Coach John Luck-hardt was ready to call for an exorcist after losing fullback Bob Cervone to a broken arm, defensive back Arnold Tarpley to medical school, nose guard Jim Sevcik to financial reasons, fullback Rick France to personal problems and 11 other players to injuries. "I was trying like the dickens to remember if I made someone mad at me in New Orleans with voodoo. I wasn't sure if I had offended someone." Luckhardt might be offending the other coaches in the Presidents Athletic Conference. Yesterday's 14-6 victory against Carnegie Mellon at muddy College Field meant a third consecutive championship and fourth in five years for Washington Jefferson (7-0-1). The Presidents have lost only one conference game in five years, 24-17, to Carnegie Mellon in 1985.

"I'm awfully proud of this group of kids," said Luckhardt, in his sixth year with the Presidents. "We're 31-1 over the last five years and that's a tribute to the kids." It was the first PAC championship for freshman Larry Pitts but he had as much to do with it as anybody. He ran, and sometimes slid, for a game-high 99 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. John Ivory's kick gave the Presidents a 7-0 lead with 4:31 remaining in the first. Quarterbacks Steve Paterno of CMU and Pat Aigner of were ineffective because their receivers were slipping in the mud or having the ball slide off their jerseys.

Aigner threw an interception in the second quarter, stopping a drive at Carnegie Mellon's 7. "I thought that one might come back and haunt me because we were in scoring position," said Aigner, who was intercepted twice. However, the Tartans could not capitalize and lost the ball on downs. next possession ended in a missed 36-yard field goal by Ivory. It was the first of four misses by Ivory.
