Jeff. 27, Hiram 14 By FRANK BENSON Joural Staff It was all so easy. Just why does the Ithaca College football team run the ball so much? "Well," says head coach Jim Butterfield, "no one has stopped us yet." Certainly not the Hobart Statesmen. Saturday at South Hill Field the Bombers improved to 8-0 with a 58-0 victory and sent 4,991 Parents' Weekend onlookers home happy on a cold but clear afternoon. "We knew we needed to get off to a good start early and, well, it didn't happen," said Hobart coach Dick Taylor.

What did happen was a Bomber explosion. It didn't matter that Hobart came in with an 0-6 record. This Ithaca College team was poised and ready. The foot was on the accelerator early and it remained there even when the bench was emptied. It was 24-0 before the first quarter was over, nearly before the crowd had settled in their seats.

"We came out wanting to pass the ball but that didn't work out as well as we'd hoped," said Butter-field. "So we went to what we do best and that's when I think we took control." On the first two series the Bombers went to the air on first down once and on second down another time each resulting in incomple-tions. But the Bombers still took a 3-0 lead thanks to a school-record 'm pfi I OX. fc 1. MM 11 50-yard field goal by Matt Sullivan.

Sullivan's boot broke the previous best of 46 yards, set by Scott Billings in 1976. Sullivan, who hails from Gulliver Prep in Miami, doesn't know what to make of this cold weather and admits he still needs to go out and pick up some winter clothes. After the record field goal, IC got a kick out of its running game. The Bombers racked up 405 yards on the ground and ran for six scores. The most spectacular, of course, was reserved for Mike Scott.

IC's most explosive weapon the senior with jet engines in his cleats took off on another one of his special runs. This one covered 68 yards and was punctuated by his trademark, the spinning back-flip in the end zone. It came early in the second quarter and made the score 30-0.

"But this keeps our momentum alive. Now we're ready to go for it all the next three weeks." the big plays." Lafayette went for the tie after the Cornell defense hardened, forcing a fourth-and-10 from the Big Red 18-yard line. Baur threw 16 passes on the march that began from his own 4. "We struggled all afternoon and I couldn't see coming away with nothing," said Lafayette coach Bill Russo. "Frank (Baur) got us through a couple of fourth-and-lOs but the Cornell defense was playing well.

It would have been asking a lot to get another first down." Cornell's defense arguably played its most savage game of the season, sendng no less than four Leopards to the sidelines. The Big offense with sophomore quarterback Chris Cochrane taking over from Aaron Sumida in the second quarter also had its moments. Cochrane entered the game late in the second quarter and took no time to pay dividends. On just his fourth play, the 6-foot-2 kid split the seam up the middle to Sam Brickley, who beat corner Walt Johnson in single coverage, on a 43-yard scoring play to give Cornell a 14-10 lead.

Baughan experienced chest pains Friday morning on the team bus ride to Easton, Pa. Hospital tests proved negative and he rejoined the team that day.

According to Cornell athletic director Laing Kennedy, Baughan is in New York City today where he will undergo a series of preliminary tests at a Manhattan hospital. Baughan is expected to return to Ithaca later today. Lee, Scott win ECAC honors The Eastern College Athletic Conference has honored Cornell's Mitch Lee and Ithaca College's Mike Scott after their performances in football Saturday. Lee made a team-high 14 tackles in a 21-21 Cornell tie at Lafayette. Scott ran for 122 yards and two share of it.

If Cornell wins its last three including a Nov. 19 Schoellkopf date with Penn the Big Red is assured of at least a tie for the championship. Cornell (4-2-1, 3-1) wanted so much more against Colonial League heavyweight Lafayette (6-1- Mitch Lee Baur strafed the Cornell secondary for 296 yards on 22-of-45 passing.

Baur was the Leopards' offense on a 16-play, 78-yard game-tying drive, scrambling for 14 yards on a fourth-and-10 and later completing a 16-yard pass to Gary Wroblewski on fourth-and-15 from midfield.

Dawson caught two TD passes, the first for 13 yards that capped a five-play, 35-yard drive. The second a 4-yard reception came after New England recovered Wendell Davis' fumble of a punt at the Chicago 13. "To beat Chicago you have to keep them off balance," Coach Raymond Berry said.

"Starting with the long pass early and using Lin were part of thai." With McMahon out, Chicago Coach Mike Dilka played musical quarterbacks with Mike Tomczak and Jim Harbough. Neither had much success. "We were trying anything and nothing worked," Ditka said. "It took enough of our concentration just to run a play, let alone try and compete with New England."

Ever since Chicago beat the Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX in 1986 and Flutie was traded from the Bears to the Patriots last season, New England has waited. And the perfect opportunity came Sunday as the under-. 500 hosts battled the NFC front-running Bears.

The Patriots (4-5), with Flutie having his most productive game as a pro, shocked Chicago, 30-7, dropping it to 7-2 in one of the most stunning results in the NFL season to date. Adding to the Bears' woes was a knee injury suffered by quarterback Jim McMahon in the second quarter. He was diagnosed as having possible ligament and cartilage damage in his right knee and is expected to miss four to six weeks. "We came in with a game plan that we knew could work," said Flutie, who completed just 6 of 18 passes for 165 yards but threw for four touchdowns an incredible percentage for big-play efficiency. "When the first play worked, we were flying.

After that the offensive line took over and dominated."
