The unbeaten Baltimore Colts. 28-0; Play Lt ft thriving on the brilliant generalship of quarterback Johnny By Associated Press College football's optional "go for broke" two-point con-j version was nut In this year to add excitement to the game and' 1 to reduce ties.

It has succeeded in the first of these purposes but, by coincidence or not, there have been more draws among the big teams than any year of the modern era.

The victory, achieved dramatically before a Homecoming crowd held to 5,200 on a dank, dark afternoon, was one of the most satisfying in head coach Dave Nelson's eight-year career on the Newark campus. Nelson was particularly pleased with the efficiency of his defense.

In pointing out that Connecticut's vaunted offense was unable to produce a first down until the final two minutes of play, Nelson said: "There is no question about it. This was the finest defensive performance by any team 1 have ever been associated with anywhere." The figures justify the superlatives. Nelson's line, tutored by Mike Lude, and secondary defenders, coached by Harold Raymond, limited the Yankee Conference power to 2 first downs, 69 yards rushing and 4 yards passing.

Only Oklahoma, No.

The Hawkeyes' severe test comes three weeks hence agaiist Ohio State, the defending champion who is in eligible to return. The resurging Golden Bears of California, led by Joe Kapp, took the lead in the Pacific Coast Conference with a 23-6 victory over defending titlist Oregon. Oregon State, beaten in the season opener by Southern California, remains solidly in the race after a 14-12 tri umph over Washington.

Louisiana State, the home product, is the No. 1 choice for the hoost spot in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans. Missis sipi played there last year. Auburn, on probation, is ineligible.

Southern Methodist plunged back into the limelight by handing Georgia Tech its worst licking in eight years. 20-0 The Orange Bowl at Miami still has an agreement with the big Eight, meaning the Colorado-Oklahoma winner probably will bask in the Florida sun shine next Jan. 1. But the At lantic Coast end of the is no longer committed. This means teams such as Clemson, Wake Forest and North Carolina are on the open market.

Jim Tatum's North Carolina team is coming fast after a slow start, Led by Jack Cummings, the Tarheels trampled Wake Forest 26-7. Duke won again, beating North Carolina State 20-13. Chances are the Deep South bowls will look to the East this year for competition, with Pitts burgh and Syracuse offering prime material. Pitt and Syra- cuse, the latter a 14-6 winner over Penn State, clash at Syra- cu.se Saturday in the big gime rnn. five.

In contrast, Delaware's crack backs. Jack Turner and Denny Luker, shredded Connecticut's veteran -manned defenses for nearly 200 yards. An additional 100 yards were contributed by Tony Suravitch, John Bowman and Dave Beinner. ntrequent DUt quarterDaCK Jim Breyer, who played superbly and ran the Wing-T with imagination, did complete a couple of aerials. He was 2-for-4.

Campy Pellegrini, who took over late in the afternoon, clicked once on three throws. The net passing gain was 43 yards. The arithmetic, somctimesj misieaaing, ions tne story per-i fectly. Connecticut, favored by two touchdowns, intent on remaining in the lead for the Lambert Cup and determined to challenge Mississippi Southern for the mythical national small college championship, took an awful licking. First U.

Conn Mistake The Huskies made their first mistake before the game started. They won the toss and decided to kick. Delaware responded to the generosity by staging a brief, but impressive, upficld drive. Luker and Turner took turns testing Connecticut's line. Neither found the going easy but both Rained ground consistently until the Huskies dug in and blunted the spearhead at Delaware's 47.

The march had "been mounted at the 20. Breyer, temporarily checked, in the nart san crowd expected in tne partisan croua expeuea Ingalls experienced backneld directed by quarterback Harry Drivas and featuring the power of fullback Norm Chaban plus the speed of DeSantis, to pierce Delaware's defenses. But nothing of the sort occurred. Instead, DeSantis and his mates were rushed unmercifully. The first series of plays they attempted Mere scrambled at the line of scrimmage or immediately beyond in the shallow secondary.

Thus, a pattern that was to prevail throughout the game was established. Delaware took the Huskies' first punt at the Hen 34, and promptly took off on a G6-yard touchdown drive. Turner, a tackle-trampling runner, opened the march with a 16-yard carrjj to midfield. After short-yardage dives by Suravitch and Luker, Breyer contributed a key pass; hitting Turner on Connecticut's 30. It was the only pass employed and the only one needed.

Breyer had found weaknesses In Connecticut's line. With savage blocking widening the gaps, Turner and Luker slashed through. Luker, on successive! cross, In which the quarterback (Breyer) gives to a halfback! (Dave Beinner) who, in turn gives to the other halfback (Bowman). In effect, a double reverse. Its effect on Connecticut, In each of Delaware's four scoring sorties, was stunning.

Bowman carried five times in the six plays Delaware re quired after the interference call and scored, from one yard out, on carry No. 5. Breyer's pitch to Broadbcnt, standing alone in the end zone, ran the count to 14-0. By now, play had progressed through four minutes of the second quarter and a UConn counterattack was due. It didn't come.

Rather, Delaware thrice again gained possession and twice threatened to score. However, a fumble recovered by Huskie lineman Joe Liodra at the Con necticut 35 aborted one bid. The second, occasioned by end Mickey Heinecken's recovery of a mishandled UConn hand- off at the enemy 24, died in the closing seconds of half. Jones Frustrated Captain Bob Jones, Delaware's sterling guard, wanted to try a field goal from the 10 but the pass from center went awry and the kick could not be launched. The way play developed In the third and fourth quarters.

it didn't make a bit of difference. The first half had been embarrassing for Connecticut, The second was nightmarish. Drivas, nursing an injury, had to be withdrawn. The loss of the No. 1 quarterback, plus the removal of star guard Bill Wall ner a 1 injure assured Connecticut's destruction.

Its offense evaporated and, with Wallner out, its defense weakened perceptibly. Connecticut tried to get back in contention by throwing passes. It was a mistake. The first one was intercepted by Jones. Delaware scored in six plays with Turner the tallier.

The second Huskie aerial also was intercepted. Suravitch made the grab. However, Connecticut, pushed to its 14 checked the surge and regained possession. But not for long. Within two minutes, Connecti cut threw a third pass.

And Beinner made the third inter ception of the third quarter, Beinner returned the ball to the Connecticut 23. Turner and Luker, with an assist from Suravitch, resumed their hobby of running through the tackles 'til Turner ended the fun with i five-yard sweep to the end zone PAT Pass Fails After Turner's first touch down, in the third period, Luker had attached two points with a give through center. But, this time, a pass to the goal line was broken up, leaving the score at 28-0. The Hens were still stealing footballs as the period pro gressed but they were to score no more, even though Breyer graDDcd a Huskie heave in Connecticut territory, at the 40, Fittingly, a Connecticut interception, by Halfback Bill Min-nerly, frustrated the Hens.

stunner. Pellegrini started it with a criss-cross, the ball go ing from Pellegrini to Beinner to Bowman. Then, as Bowman was challenged by the UConn secondary defenders, he later- aled to Pellegrini who moved an additional 10 yards. Minutes later, the Hens picked up 30 yards on the same play. Finally, Bowman ad libbed an electrifier, lateralling to End Al Huey at the Connecticut 10.

The Huskies may have been blinded by Delaware's dazzlers but they had fight enough left to stop this last, anti-climactic surge on the three-yard line. The Huskies' head coach, In-galls, also took the humiliating defeat without flinching. He met Nelson at midfield, managed a smile and said: "Davey, the least you can do is thank me for making your Homecoming a success." The victory, which lifted Delaware to 3-2 for the season, was decisive but it was costly. John Mordas and Ray Klapinsky, two of the Hens' better tackles, suffered painful knee injuries. They are regarded as "very doubtful" performers in next Saturday's long-awaited showdown with undefeated Rutgers.

The game will be played at Delaware Stadium, starting at 1:30 p. m. as will the final games of the season: Nov, 8 against Massachusetts and Nov. 15 against Bucknell.

Breyer Scores Connecticut steadied, momentarily, but couldn't prevent Turner from gaining a first down at the four. Luker hurried through the Huskies' left tackle, was clear for a second and, then was dropped a step from the goal line on a strong tackle by Connecticut co-captain Paul Scagnclli. Breyer rammed over on the play to give the IIens their f. nH fin first touchdown, and a 6-0 ad vantage. A pass to end Karl Frantz carried out of the end zone, failing to give Delaware an additional two points on the conversion.

The failure was to prove minor. The Hens, utilizing their aeiensive skills, regained pos session and hustled to a second TD. Suravitch, perhaps the best defensive player on the field, made it possible. The alert fullback from Chester covered i fumble by Connecticut halfback Bob Horan at the UConn 47. With the aid of a "break," Delaware capitalized.

Interference Call The break came on an offi cial's ruling. Breyer threw a pass intended for end Dick Broadbent.
