Penn State sent its twin battering rams, Lydell Mitchell and Franco Harris, all over Iowa Stadium on Saturday in a performance that evoked memories of those fabled Army runners, Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard. They used to call Blanchard and Davis "Mr.

Inside and Mr. Outside." But with Mitchell and Harris there are no such restrictions. They both go inside, outside, over and around. Harris scored four touchdowns and gained 145 yards on 28 carries, and Mitchell picked up 211 yards on 29 carries as Penn State easily defeated Iowa, 44-14, before 44,303 on a chilly, rainy afternoon. BLOCKING STRONG The slippery footing didn't hamper Mitchell and Harris, who were the beneficiaries of another outstanding day of blocking by the offensive line.

Harris' four touchdowns tied an Iowa Stadium record held by Clint Jones of Michigan State, Leroy Keyes of Purdue and Jim Carter of Minnesota. Penn State's offense was devastating for the second straight week. Last Saturday the Lions beat Navy, 56-3, and amassed 547 yards. This week State had 549 yards, 459 on the ground and 90 passing. TAKES 3d PLACE Mitchell's performance moved him into third place on Penn State's all-time rushing list behind Lenny Moore and Charlie Pittman.

He has 1,681 yards with nine games remaining. Harris took fifth place behind Bob Campbell with yards. It could have been worse for Iowa (0-3). With Mitchell and Harris setting the tone, the first time Penn State had the ball it marched 79 yards to the Iowa one where a bad handoff gave the Hawkeys the ball. The next time State had the ball it marched 63 yards only to be frustrated again when Harris was stopped at the seven on a fourth-down play.

We had two turn Atlanta's Darrell Evans homered over the right field fence in the fourth to make it 3-1. Atlanta. Los Angeles rallied in the sixth when Crawford singled in Richie Allen, who had doubled.

Mota then singled and Sims cleared the bases with his fourth homer of the season, chasing Braves' starter Ron Reed and putting the Dodgers ahead, 5-3. The Braves got a run in the sixth on singles by Mike Lum and Evans and a ground ball by Jackson.

In between, Ron Dawson, a swift junior tailback who returned to football after quitting the squad last year, scored on rushes of one and two yards.

"I was much more impressed with his offense than with his defense," said Lehigh coach Fred Dunlap, who set some sort of rceord by losing two straight to Gamble at two different schools. Gamble's Lafayette team beat Lehigh in its 1970 finale.

Recollections of that game bolstered Gamble's confidence.

Duke Sims blasted a three-run homer Saturday to give Los Angeles a 5-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves and bring the Dodgers to within a game of first-place San Francisco in the National League's hot West Division race.

The Dodgers, who opened their Atlanta series three games behind the Giants, took their second straight while the Giants were losing their second straight to Cincinnati, 6-5. Each contender has four games to play. The Dodgers were trailing, 3-2, when Sims homered over Win, Trail by 1 Saturday to give Notre Dame an 8-7 win over Purdue. The Fighting Irish, ranked No. 2 and a 20-point favorite here, were outplayed almost all the way, and but for a last-minute break, Purdue would have held on for a shutout win.

It rained before the game and almost constantly throughout, so the rain and wet field had as much to do with the outcome as either team. Yet until only 2:58 remained neither side had fumbled. Then fortune kicked the Boilermakers in the head. With the ball on the Purdue 14 and the Boilermakers in front, 7-0, Scott Lougheed stood on his goal line to punt out of danger a feat he had performed 11 times previously with no problem. This time center Bob Hoidahl's snap was low and to the side, and the wet ball slipped from Lougheed's hands.

He picked it up, but before he could put his foot to the ball, Notre Dame's 235-pound defensive end Walt Patulski crashed into him and the ball bounded free in the end zone. Fred Swendsen, the other end Continued on Page 14, Column 8 IN 1960 THE Philadelphia Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers, 17-13, and won the National Football League championship. That same year the new-born Dallas Cowboys played 12 games without a victory. Eleven years later the winners have become losers, the losers have become winners. Now the Cowboys are the best team in the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference.

The Eagles, in all probability, are the worst. The Cowboys have a lineup filled with big names. Lilly Hayes Howley Neely Pugh Adderley Jordan. The Eagles have a lineup filled with big holes. How did it Why are the Cowboys so good, the Eagles so bad? Why did the Eagles get burned on so many high draft choices, while the Cowboys' draftees plus an inordinate number, of free agents caught fire? Wolman Learned Hard Way THE EAGLES' plunge has been a tragedy of errors reflecting the uncertainty, the instability, the ignorance of top management.

First the Wolman years, then the Tose years. No continuity. No sense, of direction. Mostly chaos. "I've learned an awful lot," Jerry Wolman said recently.

"When I got into it, I knew nothing He learned the hard way. Now Tose is doing the same. The confusion at the top inevitably led to disaster on the field. It is an incredible truth that not one player drafted by the Eagles four years ago will be in uniform today at Veterans Stadium; that the Cowboys have dene better with free agents in the last decade than the Eagles' have with No. 1 draft choices.

But ii is no accident. The Cowboys did not stumble onto those free agents the Cornell Greens, the Pettis Normans, the Dan Reeves, the Continued on Page Column 1 By CHUCK NEWMAN Of The Inquirer Staff John "Babinecz was almost embarrassed. Quarterback Drew Gordon was looking for a place to hide in the huddle before the end of the game. Daryl Woodring was disgusted. So were most of the Wildcat offensive linemen.

Would you believe Villanova won? The handing the ball to VMI five times on fumbles and incurring five illegal procedure calls among others, managed to outstagger the Keydets, 13-3, Saturday at Villanova Stadium. Coach Lou Ferry expected a letdown from his team after the heartbreaking loss to Toledo in the final 12 seconds last week. "But I never thought it would be this bad," the Wildcat coach admitted. The Wildcats were consistently bad after running up two quick touchdowns within eight minutes of the first period. They managed to fumble the ball away on four straight the center field fence in the sixth.

Jim Brewer pitched scoreless ball the final 2 2-3 innings to preserve Don Sutton's sixth victory against 12 losses. The save was Brewer's 21st. The Braves, who had been shut out by the Dodgers for 29 straight innings, jumped to a 2-0 lead in the third on singles by Sonny Jackson, Felix Mil-Ian, and Ralph Garr. Garr's hit kept alive a 20-game hitting streak. The Dodgers got a run back in the fourth when Manny Mota tripled in Willie Crawford, who had reached first on a fielder's choice..
