Bob Veale can't go with the Sox but he is escorting them safely toward the border.

Penn State went to guts tnd poise to slug Iowa into submission, 14-10, after everything else had failed on a cool dreary Saturday afternoon. Quarterback John Hufnagel, pulling out that little extra that he saves for such occasions, provided both the guts and poise as he marched the sagging Lions 80 yards in the final three minutes for the winning touchdown and set off a wild celebration in the record Beaver Stadium crowd of 58,065. It was a textbook march under stifling pressure "the kind that only a kid like Hufnagel can take you," said Iowa Coach Frank Lauterbur. THERE WERE two moments of extreme drama on the drive and Penn State, which had seemed intent on losing this game throughout the afternoon, carried both of them. The first came at the Penn State 43-yard line where the Lions went to their guts and sent halfback John Cappelletti on a sweep to the short side of the field on fourth and two AP Wireohoto ON A DAY of upsets the man at the top ws Auburn's Terry Henley (23), here scoring the touchdown that beat fourth-ranked Tennessee, 10-6.

The big lefthander promptly fired third strikes past Johnny Oates and Dave Johnson, then watched in delight as rookie catcher Carlton Fisk gunned down the lead runner on a double-steal try on Johnson's thrid strike. THAT PERFORMANCE secured a 3-1 Boston victory and left the Eastern Division-leading Red Sox as odds-on favorites to capture their first pennant since 1967. The Sox lead the second-place Detroti Tigers by IVi games with four remaining.

Unless the Red Sox lose and the Tgiers win this afternoon, Detroit will be forced to sweep the three-game, head-to-head series between the two teams next week to take the flag. That seeming inequity is a result of the major-league players' strike last srjing. Because of the strike, the Tigers play one more game than the Red Sox this season. And they now trail the Sox by two games in the loss column. UNFORTUNATELY, for the Red Sox, Veale is not eligible for the playoff or the World Series.

Boston acquired him from the Pirates' Charleston, W. farm team only 28 days ago, two days too late to make Veale eligible. But since joining the Red Sox, Veale has been a combination of Sparky Lyle, Tug McGraw and Godzilla. In four appearances, he has won two games and saved two. "When somebody still has confidence in you," Veale said after saving Pattin's 16th victory of the season, "I feel you should have the pride, the decency and the courgae to do the best you can."

Then, with the Owls leading, 12-7, defensive back Bill Anzalone hit Holy Cross halfback Fran Meagher so hard inside the Temple five-yard line he caused a fumble into the end zone that safetyman Dwight Fulton fell on for a touchback.

Kicker Nick Mike-Mayer and offensive guard Skip Singletary were standouts as Temple handed Holy Cross a 15-7 defeat and evened its record for the season at 2-2. Despite a rare miss on an extra-point attempt, Mike-Mayer provided the margin of victory with three field goals and he punted so superbly that Holy Cross never advanced a single one of his eight punts, fair-catching seven and losing four yards berance they displayed before, during and after the game, was more impressive. "It's amazing the part attitude has played in football around here (in the past)," said senior running back Bob Hoffman, who scored three of Penn's touchdowns. "Last year a guy would say, 'Why not talk it and somebody else would say, 'Aw, you don't have to do that in Not in Penn football, you didn't.

The operation was a success. But the Wildcats still died, 14-7. Hatty, out of Bishop Neumann High School, rescued an atrocious Wildcat offerrse from its usual case of the "blahs" by throwing a 42-yard touchdown pass to Gary Belmont with 5:36 left to play and then steering the Wildcats to within 11 yards of a touchdown with 21 seconds remaining. Before Hatty arrived on the scene in the third period the Wildcats offense had wasted excellent field position handed to it by the Villanova defense on almost every possession.
