COLLEGE FOOTBALL Sunday, Dec. 6, 1987 The Philadelphia Inquirer 11-E Naval Academy opts for principle Arkansas downs Rainbows, 38-20; Marshall cruises By FRANK DOLSON Sports 1 'E -s r'f Jz 1 i I Emotionally, no football game transcends Army-Navy. It can be the best of seasons, the worst of seasons, adrenalin flows, pulses pound. Merely sitting in the locker room as game-time approaches must leave memories that last a lifetime. Surely, Mike Sweeney and Willis Herweyer will never forget the feeling.

They are Navy sophomores, a pair of offensive linemen you've never read about because, until yesterday until the 88th Army-Navy football game they were little-used subs. Under ordinary circumstances, Sweeney and Herweyer would have spent most of this game on the sidelines, watching senior guard Joe Brennan and senior center Matt Felt perform the intricate blocking assignments necessary to make Navy's wishbone go. What happened this week, however, was anything but ordinary. On the eve of the game, Naval Academy officials ruled that Brennan and Felt could not dress for what would have been the final football game of their careers, a game that means more to the competitors than all the others put together. Their benching was attributed to "administrative action" unrelated to football.

We don't know what the two seniors did; all we know is what they didn't do. Drugs were not involved, a Naval Academy spokesman said. Late Friday afternoon, first-year Navy coach Elliot Uzelac learned that he would be without the services of these two key players. Suddenly, Mike Sweeney and Willis Herweyer were starters. Granted, it didn't come as a complete surprise.

They had both practiced at times with the first team during the past week just in case a negative ruling came down before the game. "We found out for sure around five o'clock IFridayl," Sweeney said. Their excitement at starting in the Army-Navy game was tempered considerably by their sadness over the. way it had happened. "I feel extremely bad for the guys who played in front of us," Herweyer would say after Army's grind-it-out, 17-3 victory.

"In my opinion they are two of the finest men on the team." Even fine men make mistakes. From all indications we can be reasonably certain that what these Midshipmen did would not have been so severely punished in almost any other school you can name. Can you imagine Oklahoma officials making such a harsh disciplinary ruling on the eve of the Nebraska game? Not likely. But as big as the Army-Navy game is to the people who care, it isn't big enough to make the Naval Academy give preferential treatment to football players. There was a principle to uphold, and a message to deliver.

Football is important, but not that important. "I came to the Naval Academy, 1 learned a lot of things were more important than football," Herweyer said. "At the Academy we're under certain restrictions. We have to develop into a certain kind of person." So they understood why that harsh disciplinary action was taken against The Philadelphia Imiuirei CLEM MURHAY Army placekicker Bit Rambusch celebrates at game's end.

Northern Michigan (10-2) took a 7-0 lead on its first possession, going 77 yards in nine plays, with Steve Avery running 2 yards for the score. Portland State, which had a 22-10 advantage in first downs and a 403-, 219 margin in total yardage, sliced the lead to 7-3 on Mike Erickson's 21-yard field goal with 3:14 left in the first period. Division III semifinals Dayton 34, Central College of Iowa 0 Dave Jones scored three touch: downs, rushed for 118 yards and set a University of Dayton career scoring record as the Flyers defeated Central College of Iowa in Dayton, Ohio. The senior tailback from Newark, Ohio, now has scored 254 career points, breaking the previous record of 246 points held by Gary Kosins. Wagner 20, Emory Henry IS Greg Kovar completed 16 of 26 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns to lead Wagner to victory over Emory Henry in Abingdon, Va.

Hurricanes squeeze past Gamecocks MIAMI, from 1-E 28, setting up Mackie's which gave South Carolina a 6-0 edge. A sputtering Miami drive turned magical fast when Irvin turned an over-the-middle pass from Walsh into a 46-yard touchdown. Cox's kick put the Hurricanes ahead by 7-6. The Gamecocks countered Irvin's long TD with one of their own. On third and 12 from the Miami 47, Sharpe caught Ellis' pass over the middle and found the end zone.

With the conversion, South Carolina regained a 13-7 lead with 9:55 left in the half. Miami bounced right back, thanks to a successful fake field-goal try. On fourth and 4 at the South Carolina 30, the Hurricanes faked a 47-yard kick and sent holder Jeff Feagles off left tackle. Feagles wasn't hauled down until he reached the South Carolina 6. Two plays later, Bratton swept right to put Miami back up by 14-13, In the third period, Miami struck again.

Walsh hit Brian Blades over the middle on the first play of a series, and Blades raced to the end zone to put the Hurricanes up by 20- 13 with 9:39 left in the third quarter. Cox, however, missed the extra point his first miss after 43 straight, successes. The teams then traded punts before South Carolina drove 69 yards in 14 plays, only to settle for Mackie's 28-yard field goal, which whittled Miami's edge to 20-16 with 13:51 left! South Carolina got its last chance with 2:37 to play, taking possession at its 12. The game the season came down to one defensive scries for Miami. The Hurricanes were up" to the task.

The Gamecocks failed on downs. Miami then killed 84 seconds to finish its perfect regular season.

"I told Ithe coachesl last night, 'For me it's baptism by Herweyer said. "The older guys kind of summed it up for us," said Sweeney. "Right before the game, you have the jitters.

Once you step on the field instinct takes over. By the second series 1 wasn't nervous at all. I didn't even notice the crowd." "You first go out there," said Herweyer, "and it's like, but after that Once the game began and Wow! turned to Pow! they had too much to think about to remain nervous. "We had to rise to the occasion," Herweyer said. No, they didn't turn in all-America-caliber performances.

Nobody could have expected them to do that. But, with the help of Brennan and Felt, who watched the game from the sidelines, they gave it their best shot. "They were helping us make blocking adjustments," said Herweyer. "It was valuable to have them there telling us what we were doing wrong." Chances are, they did plenty wrong. Navy's wishbone was mostly wish yesterday; until Army had opened up a 10-0 lead in the fourth quarter Navy's deepest penetration was to the Army 45.

Obviously, the loss of two senior offensive linemen was a factor. "They made plays when they had to; we couldn't do it," an emotional Uzelac said. "We just didn't execute. We didn't do a good job up front." That was as far as he would go about the body blow he had received from the Naval Academy authorities the night before. "I'm not talking about that," he said when the subject was raised for the first time.

When it was brought up for the third time, he momentarily lost his temper. "Don't ask that again," he flared before regaining his composure. For Uzelac, it was a rough ending to a brutal season. "I'm not even talking about the season," he said. "The only thing I'm worrying about is this game." He paused, lowered his voice and added, "This hurts." It hurt every kid in that locker room, too.

And above all it hurt the two seniors who ended their football careers on the sidelines trying to help a couple of sophomores get through the toughest tests of their lives. As painful as it was, though, Navy's weekend shouldn't be considered a total loss. At least, the Academy proved that upholding a principle was more important than winning a football game even against Army. Tim Brown Won by 611 points COLLEGE SCORES FOOTBALL Arkansas 38.

It was Crawford's sleight of hand that made the TI) possible. The quarterback was wrapped up by Navy defender Daron Fullwood and appeared stopped before he pitched to Peterson. After Peterson's score, Navy, relying on promising freshman quarterback Alton Grizzard, finally moved forward with a 39-yard completion to Don Hughes that gave the Middies their deepest penetration at the Cadets' 34. On fourth-and-1 from the Cadets' 13, Uzelac opted for the field goal with 5:01 to play. Ted Fundoukos made it from 30 yards out, leaving Navy down, 10-3.

Fundoukos' field goal was his 10th consecutive one this year, and it set a Middie record as his 11th straight over two years. But it did nothing to shake the Cadets. Army didn't give back the ball until 35 seconds remained in the game, after Crawford had clinched it with his 7-yard run. "I have mixed emotions because this is the last football game I'll ever play," said Crawford, fighting back tears. "It's a landmark end to 14 years of playing the game.

Now it's time to move on to other things and have this as a great memory." Meanwhile, Army's defense played like a team that has practiced against the wishbone all season. Which, of course, it has. The Cadets simply snapped Navy's wishbone by holding the Middies to 132 yards rushing and allowing them past midfield only three times. "It sure helps that we practice against it so much," said Army defensive captain Dave Berdan. "I think they expected to run up the middle on us, and when we took that away, they had no other game plan.

We felt at halftime, when we had only three points, that we might not score again. So the defense just got together and said, 'Let's do "This means our senior class has beaten Navy three times," Berdan added with a smile. "And coach Jim Young said that hadn't happened since around 1950."

Yale 56 against the wishbone offense, lie-cause neither could move the ball with any consistency. It was ground warfare with neither team giving ground. Only once in the opening half did the Middies get into Cadets territory, and that was in the second quarter when Chuck Smith ran 8 yards to the Army 45. But that semblance of a drive stalled short of field-goal range, as Navy was able to gain only 3 more yards before its fourth and final punt in the half.

The Cadets took their 3-0 lead on their first possession when Rambusch blasted a 40-yard field goal with plenty of room to spare. It was Rambusch's longest -Id goal of the season and, as the half wore on. those three points started to look more like 33. A 25-yard run by Mayweather shoved the ball down to the Navy 29 and put the Cadets in field-goal position. Then Rambusch had a chance to better his personal standard for the season with 20 seconds to go in the half, but his 41-yard field-goal attempt sailed wide left.

But as the game wore on and the Cadets wore Navy down, the missed field goal was not a factor. "I very much wanted to win that one for the seniors," Young said. "We had a lot of adversity during the season, but we hung together for the win. The defense did an outstanding job, and the offense moved the ball in the second half, when we needed it."

"I don't have to apologize for Tim Brown," said Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz. "He's the best football player I've ever seen." The rub against Brown was that while he was versatile, he didn't finish among the nation's leaders in any single category, just the encompassing all-purpose yardage.

"I don't think he was anywhere close to being the top receiver," White said yesterday. "He's an outstanding punt and kick returner. But then they total everything he did. If he had a little more success at wide receiver, it wouldn't have been so bad." Still, Brown's impact on a game was undeniable. Notre Dame's average field position after kickoffs this season was the 37-yard line.

And opponents, so wary of Brown's return ability, averaged only 31 yards a punt against the Irish. "I don't think there's another player around where people kick out of bounds or put two or three people on him so he can't touch the ball," Brown said. "I don't think there's been another player like that in a while." Brown came into his senior season as the Ileisman front-runner. He appeared on the cover of every notable preseason football magazine. "He won it in the off-season," Hey-ward said yesterday.

Certainly, he was the odds-on fa- -vorite. McPherson, on the other hand, was a virtual unknown, as Syracuse was coming off a 5-6 season. Many think that Brown won the Ileisman on Sept. 19 when he returned two punts for touchdowns against Michigan State. Television exposure didn't hurt, either.

All 1 1 of Notre Dame's games were broadcast on national television, via network or cable. Whether he agreed with the choice or not, llcyward was conciliatory toward Brown yesterday. He offered nothing but congratulations. "Somebody had win it," Hey- ward said. "They picked a good man." .1.
