His repla.ement, Bob Tripicchio, came on and his long desperation heave was intercepted by safetyman Mike Neal at the 7. The issue was decided. "I'm all right now," Graustein said in the Penn locker room.

"I just got hit hard and my head snapped back." Can Penn snap back from its second 0-3 start in Gamble's six years here? "We're going to find out," the coach said.

Such was the ineffectiveness of the injury-riddled Penn State offense that its biggest play of the afternoon was a penalty a 36-yard walkoff for pass interference that led to Penn State's fourth-quarter touchdown. By Allen Lewis Inimrtr stuff Wnlrr 'For more than three quarters yes-. terday at misty Franklin Field, Penn's football team was sure-fingered.

In the last 11 minutes, however, one fumble led to the winning touchdown and another stopped the home team's last-ditch bid for victory as Columbia won, 14-10. It's not surprising then that Coach Harry Gamble, whose Quakers have now lost all three of their games, was distraught, and that Columbia Coach Bill Campbell was ecstatic over his team's first Ivy League win and its second victory in three games. "I need some luck," Gamble moaned after Penn drove to the Columbia three in the waning minutes before coughing up the ball. "It's the biggest one we've won since I've been here," said Campbell, clutching the game ball with his baseball cap on backwards. "It's the first time over .500 You gotta be good, and you gotta be lucky, and we were both." Penn led at halftime, 10-0, on a 37-yard field goal by Tim Mazzetti in the first quarter and a 1-yard Denis Grosvenor plunge to cap a 73-yard drive just before intermission.

But Columbia went 80 yards to score on Jay Hickey's 37-yard run early in the third period, then scored on a 14-yard dash up the middle by Hickey with less than 9 minutes left in the game. Columbia got the ball for its winning 66-yard, five-play drive after Grosvenor fumbled and the ball was recovered by tackle Tim Towler on the visitors' 34-yard line. Big gainer in the drive was an interference penalty assessed against defensive back Pete Knezevich on a Kevin Burns pass intended for split end Art Pulsinelli. That moved Columbia from its own 44-yard line to the Penn 22, and it took only three plays from there. Still, Penn had plenty of time to come back, and appeared to be on the way when it gained consistently on a drive that began at its own 18.

Quarterback Bob Graustein, who began the day as the nation's 15th best passer and finished on the bench after being knocked groggy with just over a minute left, got the drive started with passes to tight end Mark Iwanowski for 14 yards and to running back Kevin Tyler for 24 yards. After an incomplete pass, Graustein went back to pass again, but ran for 9 yards, then let Grosvenor buck for a first down at the Columbia 32. After two more passes good for a total of 9 yards it was back to work-horse Grosvenor, who banged the right side for 7, 5 and 2 yards. Graustein kept for 3 and a first down at the 6 and, with the clock ticking away, it appeared Penn would grind out the win. But on first down at the 6, Grosvenor, who led Penn with 67 yards rushing, was hit by linebacker Marty Fischer The ball popped loose and linebacker Chip Hillenbrand recovered for Columbia at the 3.

"I'm ringing, man, I'm ringing. He (Grosvenor) gave me a shot," Fischer said of the fumble play. Jt was just a big mess, a lot of people in a pile," Hillenbrand said. "I just grabbed it before it hit the ground. It's the best feeling I've had in a long time," added the senior from New Jersey.

To its credit, Penn wasn't through yet. The Quakers forced Columbia to punt and, with 1:48 remaining, started another drive from the visors' 41. With a third down and three on the Columbia 33, Graustein went back to pass, failed to spot an open receiver, and ran for the first down. But the senior quarterback was hit hard on 3 big-money tourneys listed in Australia SYDNEY, Australia (AP) Australian tennis officials say prize money totaling will be offered in three major tournaments late this year and early in 77.

"Do we have any valuables left?" He has, it seems, fewer and fewer valuables as the season progresses. Penn State came into the game crippled by injuries to its five top running backs. And on the second play of this game, witnessed by a capacity Commonwealth Stadium crowd of 57'-733, the team lost its No. 1 quarter Philadelphia Inquirer J. KINGSTON COLEMAN Komlo was super in the game-winning drive.

He started by going 18 yards behind a crushing block by fullback Gregg Perry, then hi1 an 18-yard, first-down pass to split end Larry Wagner. Another first-down completion this one to Tom James set up lhe TD, a one-yard run by Craig Carroll, who scored standing up behind Bob Toresco's bruising block. Temple, which had struck early on Carey's 37-yard pass to Anderson, never hit on another big play. It wasn't for lack of trying. Among Temple big-play bids that failed was an attempted fourth-period pass on third-and-inches from the Delaware 20.

Herb Beck, a sophomore defensive tackle from Malvern Prep, roared through to dump Carey for a crushing 14-yard loss. "We got humilia ed last year," Bello said. "Temple has a good ball club, but I think everybody realized they weren't -15 points better than us. If nothing eNe oni'ht, we wanted to gain some respect." They succeeded. And even then, it took Penn State three downs to punch over the single remaining yard for the score.

And when it was over, Joe Pa'erno sat on an equipment chest in a funereal locker room and reflected upon Penn State's first three-game losing streak in the 11 years he has been head coach there. He answered from the media until an equipment manager asked him 'o mov: so that the team's valuables could le doesn't matter now. We beat 'em." For some, it took a while for the enormity of that victory to sink in. "I was walking off," Tubby Raymond's son said, "and all of a sudden I started crying." Only a victory over Temple could create that kind of joy for the Raymond family. "I was really embarrassed by last year," Tubby said.

"It would be a sad thing if Temple football got away from us where we couldn't compete." But they were competitive last night, from beginning to end, against a Temple ream that may have had a letdown after last week's 21-7 loss to On the game's second play, the Hens went for broke as Komlo faked inside, then threw deep. The pass was about a yard too long, it was clear that the Hens had come with the intention of carrying the battle to the home team. And carry it they did, rallying for a 12-7 halftime lead, then going 60 yards in 7 plays midway in the third period after Wes Sornisky's 36-yard field goal had cut their lead to 2. 'Vst turned my back and didn't watch." The UCLA coach said his players weren't happy with the deadlock, which won't help the Bruins wrest pl-ce from Pitt in one national poll, "The players were very he said. "We thought we Ird a helluva chance to win," So why not go for the first down at the Ohio State 43? "By punting into the end zone we figured we would make them go 80 yards and our defense was playinr well," Donahue "We were hoping for turnover but didn't get one." this ballgame.

When you hand the ball off to people and they don't get any yards, it doesn't matter who's handing off." Fusina got Penn State's longest run himself, scrambling for 10 yards on a broken play late in the third quarter. By contrast, everyone that Kentucky quarterback Derrick Ramsey handed the ball seemed to devour yardage like candy. Fullback Rod Stewart finished with 103 net yards, halfback Chris Hill with 106. Ramsey himself netted 95 yards of his team's rushing total of 399. "We decided! not to do anything fancy," said Kentucky Coach Fran Curci.

"We wanted to just come right out and get after them." "We're not a very strong team," Paterno said. "I said early in the year I was worried about what would happen if people decided, to run at us. Would we be strong enough to stop them? Quickness is great, but when people run right at you, it doesn't help much. "That's what happened today. Kentucky came out and lined up with two tight ends and just came right at us." The Wildcats, now 3-1 and looking toward' their brightest season since Babe Parilli was a pup, began coming straight at Penn State after Rick Hayden intercepted a Fusina pass with nine minutes left in the first quarter.

Disdaining the forward pass, they marched 58 yards in 13 plays, the last a 3-yard jolt over right tackle by Hill. Penn State managed to cross the midfield stripe just once in the half, but defense kept the Nittany Lions in the game until the third quarter. Then came Armageddon. Early in the period, Rich Mauti a Kentucky punt and a Ken-tucliy tackier a split second apart. Th result was a fumble recovered the Wildcats' Bud Diehl at the Penn State 20.

Ramsey immediately connected on a pass to Woods to take care of 19 of those yards. Two plays later, Ramsey sneaked over, and John Pierce's conversion kick made it 13-0. Another fumble recovery quickly set up Kentucky's next score, a 43-yard field goal by Pierce. And late in the period, Kentucky took possession at its own 8-yard line, following a Penn State punt, and rolled to the touchdown that put the game away. On second-and-7 from his own 39, Ramsey raced to his right on the option play, kept it himself and streaked down the sideline to score.

That 61-yard run capped a seven-play drive that looked even more impressive than it sounds in the telling. By the time Hill fumbled away the football and Brian Kistler recovered for Penn State to set up State's fourth-period score, there was nothing left to salvage but pride. Pater-no's young Lions bought back a little of that, thanks to a pass-irrterference calL Fusina had moved his team from the Penn State 46 to a first down at the Kentucky 37 when he dropped back and threw long for Scott Fitzkee in the end zone. Two Kentucky defenders made a violent sandwich of Fitzkee shortly before the ball arrived, so Penn State got a first down on the Wildcat 1. Three plays later, unable to run through Kentucky's massed defense, Fusina passed to tight end Mick Shuler for the score that got Penn State off the blitz.

That touchdown gave Tenn State a total of three in its past three games, and Paterno said: "I don't know what we're going to do. I'm not going to panic. I'm going to have to sit down and take a long, hard look at everything." "Hard," may be an understatement.

Andress was hospitalized for treatment of a possib'e broken riqht collarbone, but Paterno refused to use that injury as an excuse. "(Sophomore Chuck) Fusina was ready to play," he said. "I don't think if' Andress had played the whole game it would have made any difference in Maryland rally tops Villanova VILLANOVA From 1-E we felt we had a chance," Bedesem said.

"Even though they had moved us around' (and Villanova the entire half had not made a first down)' things obviously appeared to be on our side." But in the third quarter, Maryland went 57 weary yards in 11 plays, blasting fullback Tim Wilson and tailback Steve Atkins at the Wildcats' middle. Wilson cracked the last 13 yards off left guard and Maryland led, 13-9, with 7 minutes 39 seconds left in the quarter. "If there was a turning point, it came on the next series," said Bedesem, "when we had good field position. Instead of getting a touchdown or at least a field goal, we turned it over (on a Serge fumble at the terp 35). And that's when they burned us and scored instead." Manges completed the first of the game to Bob Raba, a 13-yaroer that gained a quick first down, ahd then he lobbed the football through the flying rain from the Wildcat 48.

Split end Chuck White raced behind Villanova's Joey Clark and Dave Bauer, gathered in the pass at the 20, and splashed to the end zone. "We're not normally in a man-toman like that," Bedesem said, "but we knew they had straight-ahead power and we gambled and moved our (defensive) backs up a little. We weren't interested in looking good or coming close or any of that BS. We wanted to win the football game." They were close. But Maryland grabbed the water-wings instead.

"I saw the ball come low," the young man said. "The natural instinct is to get down in front of it." He scooped up the wet ball and got off his kick, but his knee had touched the AstroTurf. With 31 seconds left Temple had possession on the Delaware 36. "A million things were running through my head," Bello said.

"I figured they'd try to get 10-15 yards, then kick a field goal Carey threw two passes. The first, intended for split end Ken Williams, was high and incomplete. The second, intended for flanker Steve sailed over his head and into the arms of Delaware cornerback Rob Pietuszka. "That was the topper to everything," Bello said.

UCLA had taken a 10-7 lead at 5:32 of the final period by putting together a H-play, 83-yard march capped by quarterback Jeff Dankworth's 1-foot sneak.
