"The defense played it close to the vest, except letting their speedster get loose one time," Baughan said. Actually the Bison speedster, Earl Beecham, got loose twice. He ran the opening kickoff 90 yards to a touchdown.

After the Red had scored its fourth TD in the fourth Beecham shook loose on a 72-yard-er from scrimmage. While Baughan had praise gener ally for all hands, he was disappointed about the special teams. "They had numerous breakdowns," he said. They began with letting Beecham get away so that the Bisons were up by 6-0 after 13 seconds. There were two Bison blocks of conversion tries, a partly-blocked punt and after the final points were recorded and Bucknell was still in the contest the Red specialists let the Bisons get away with an onside kick.

But the defense was up to it. In fact it stopped Bucknell, on four of its Turn to FINALLY, Page 14 first Chip Knapp and then Shawn Maguire went down with injuries. "Marty has surprised us," said Baughan. "He had been doing well with the jayvees but was anything but sensational. He did a good workmanlike job with them; but nothing like he has done since he has been with the varsity.

He sure is a welcome additon." The 236 yards was the most passing yards for a Cornell passer since Kevin Sigler had the same figures against Colgate in 1974. The three TDs were the most since Mark Allen set the school record of four home finale with Columbia Nov. 16 or in the season finale at Princeton, Nov. 23. "It felt good it was a long time coming," commented third-year coach Maxie Baughan.

And Big Red well-wishers everywhere echoed his sentiments. Junior quarterback Marty Stallone led the way, throwing three touchdown passes, two to Jim Per-rello and one to Todd Pressley, and completing 12-26 for 236 yards. It was Stallone's first start. He saw his first varsity action the week previous against Dartmouth after against Columbia in 1973. Perrello, senior from Lancaster, caught five passes for 123 yards.

He caught his first TD pass in two years or since the clinching catch from Maguire in that big win over Princeton. Last year, in the Bucknell game, at Lewisburg, he suffered both a broken arm and collarbone. Baughan expressed pleasure with the manner in which the defense had improved in a week. Dartmouth backs had ripped the line apart. While the defenders did well so did the running backs, with Bombers survive Hobart scare, 15-12 TV By KENNY VAN SICKLE Journal Staff Cornell footballers put some points on the board Saturday on a cold, raw day at Lewisburg, beating Bucknell, 26-13.

They were the most since the 1983 finale when they beat Princeton, 32-30. And it was their first victory of the season after six losses; seven straight losses counting the 1984 finale with Pennsylvania. It was victory No. 499 in its 98 years of football. Now for No.

500; maybe it will come this week over Yale at New Haven, or else in the Reycroft happy with Red-White By TOM FLEISCHMAN Journal Staff Cornell University hockey coach Lou Reycroft was generally pleased with what he saw at the annual "Red-White" scrimmage game, played Saturday night at Lynah Rink. The White squad, which consisted of most of the Big Red's top skaters, won the game, 5-3. "All in all, it was good," said Reycroft, who begins his fourth season at the helm this Saturday against Western Ontario. "Of course, any time you play against yourself, there's going to be some good and bad. But I think we got out of the game what we wanted.

We tried to duplicate a real game-type situation, and the intensity picked up as the game went along and I thought our execution improved. We did a good job." Eight different players had goals, with last year's scoring leader, Duanne Moeser, getting a goal and two assists to lead the White team. Other scorers for the winners included Pete Marcov, freshman center Stewart Smith, Dave Crom-been, and Mark Major, a winger who is being tried out at de-fenseman to shore up a thin blue-line corp.

In 1983 at Boswell Field in Geneva, a 67-yard pass play with two seconds to play gave the Statesmen a 23-20 victory. Last year at South Hill Field, Ithaca safety Brian Dougherty intercepted a two-point conversion try following a touchdown with 3:16 to play, staving off a Hobart rally and preserving a 14-13 Ithaca win. And Saturday, back at a chilly Boswell Field, the last-second fireworks were no less spectacular. Down by three points with 3:14 to play, the Statesmen drove the ball from their own 34-yard line to Ithaca's four, and had first-and-goal with less than a minute to play.

Four chances to get into the end zone, and Hobart put the burden of responsibility on the shoulders of fullback Dave Ralph. A logical choice was Ralph, the 5-11, 200-pounder who rushed for nine touchdowns last year and had already scored Hobart's only TD Saturday. Four times they gave the ball to Ralph. And four times, Ithaca's defense stopped him. Ithaca (6-1) clinched the Independent College Athletic Conference title with the 15-12 victory, completing its three-game conference slate unbeaten.

More importantly, though, the Bombers should at least maintain their No. 10 position in the national rankings, and keep their NCAA playoff hopes alive. Butterfield had nothing but the highest praise for his team. "The thing that really gets me," he said, "is that these damn kids were under the gun, and things weren't going well. But when it really counted, and they had to do it or else, they jumped to the situation and handled it.

They did an excellent job, an outstanding job, I don't think they could have done better." The game marked the return of quarterback Steve Kass, who had missed three previous games with a sprained ankle. The senior tri-captain carried the ball 14 times for 46 yards, scored the game-winning touchdown on a seven-yard keeper, and completet' seven of 16 passes for 78 yards.

Young's 777 total, the highest in the city this year, is one pin shy of his career high. Young, who has been bowling for nine years, used a Columbia Yellow-Dot ball on lanes 1 1 and 12 in registering his first perfect game.

"I've come close a number of times, gotten the first nine (strikes in a row)," he said. "But I'd always leave a 10-pin." There was no question on his final three strikes this time, though, as he buried shots 10, 11 and 12 and dropped to his knees as the last one hit. Even though he'd come close before, he admitted that he was "nervous as hell." Young, a 1981 graduate of Cortland High School, works as a clerk at the Grand Union grocery store in Cortland.

KENNY VAN SICKLE NFL ROUNDUP you're going to get a second I don't know how he knew it." The game was one of three won in the NFL Sunday by last-minute field goals. Tony Zendejas kicked a 38-yarder with 14 seconds left to give the Houston Oilers a 23-20 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs and Gary Anderson kicked a 25-yarder with nine seconds remaining as the Pittsburgh Steelers edged the Cleveland Browns 10-9.

Elsewhere, the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Buffalo Bills 23-17 in another close one to throw the NFL's Central Division race into a a top-to-bottom tie. The Browns, Bengals, Steelers and Oilers all have 4-5 records. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears Turn to STENERUD, Page 13 From Journal Staff Reports Minnesota's Jan Stenerud could have kicked himself after missing a field goal late in the fourth quarter against the Detroit Lions. But he didn't get mad he got more than even. "Sure, you get upset with yourself, but you can't afford to let that snowball," the 43-year-old, 19-year National Football League veteran said Sunday after kicking the winning field goal as time expired in a 16-13 decision over the Lions.

Stenerud had missed a field goal try with 4:12 to play, but he said he eventually blocked it out of his mind. "You've got to be ready to get that second chance," said Stenerud, the NFL's second-leading all-time scorer and most prolific field-goal kicker ever with 365.
