In winning its first seven games for the first time since 1960, Navy never had trailed. But the Midshipmen lost two fumbles in the first 3W minutes yesterday they committed five turnovers in all and fell behind 104 on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Joe Montana to Kris Haines, and Chuck Male's 38-yard field goal. Navy, which led the nation in total defense and scoring defense, had allowed only 35 points all season, never more than 11 in a game. But a 3-yard touchdown burst by Heavens at 3:49 of the second period boosted the lead to 17-0, and it was clear sailing after that On Notre Dame's seventh rushing play, a 29-yard dash by Ferguson with less than five minutes elapsed, the Irish ground total reached 60 yards against a team that had yielded only 57 per game.

Heavens contributed 100 on 21 carries. Despite Notre Dame's obvious superiority, Navy helped sink itself by fumbling controlled the line of scrimmage and they were stronger." Ferguson broke the Notre Dame record of 200 yards set last year by Jerome Heavens against Army when he barreled through the left side for 13 yards on the final play of the third period. It was the 14th of his 18 carries for the afternoon. "I've said both Ferguson and Heavens were great runners," said Welsh. "That's the first team we've played this year with backs like that.

I don't feel deflated at all. We're still 7-1 and we have a chance to redeem ourselves the next three weeks." Notre Dame Coach Dan Devine, who said before the game that Navy could turn out to be "the Cinderella team of the century," was satisfied with bis team's total of 530 yards in offense. "We executed extremely hard," he said. "We bit hard, we got turnovers and -went in and got scores. You've got to give real credit to our players and coaches that week after week they have to rise to CLEVELAND (AP) It was approaching 2 p.m.

on the shores of Lake Erie when the clock struck midnight for Navy's Cinderella Midshipmen yesterday. On the second play from scrimmage, they coughed up the first of three fumbles. With tittle more than two minutes gone, 15th-ranked Notre Dame had a 7-0 lead and Vh hours later, the Fighting Irish came away 27-7 winners over the previously unbeaten, Uth-ranked Middies. Notre Dame's Vagas Ferguson was the chief villain against the Middies. He shattered bis school's single-game rushing record by galloping for 219 yards including an 80-yard touchdown jaunt with five minutes left in the second period.

That carry gave the 192-pound junior speedster from Richmond, 177 yards on just nine first-half "I think they were just better than us," said Navy Coach George Welsh. "They kicked the heck out of us physically. They were that much better today. They the football away three times in the first half. And the margin could easily have been higher, but Heavens fumbled into the Navy end xone, and Tommy Thompson intercepted a Montana pass at the 6-yard line.

It was the sixth consecutive victory for college football's defending national champions, following a pair of setbacks. They also posted their 15th straight triumph in the nation's oldest continuous intersectional rivalry and lead 42-9-1 in the series, which has been played every year since 1927. Notre Dame's final points came on a 42-yard field goal by Male at 5:04 of the fourth quarter. The Irish defense failed in its bid for a second straight shutout when Bob Powers, Navy's second-string quarterback, threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Phil McConkey wth 12 seconds to play, capping a 98-yard drive. Navy had yielded only 158.1 yards per game overall in its first seven outings, including a total of 399 on the ground.

But Notre Dame piled up 375 rushing and added 155 through the air.

Instead senior QB O'Brien ran for his first three touchdowns of the season and sophomore Dunn for the first two of his varsity career. -T O'Brien already had his three on the board when Hill, a junior from Oak Grove, brought the Yale Bowl crowd of 23,000 to its feet to open the second half by dashing down the right sideline with the longest kickoff return in the more than a century of Yale football. He was untouched, and unchallenged after passing kicker Keith Manx at the Cornell 40.

Dunn's 63-yard scoring run later in the quarter was the Blue's longest from scrimmage this season. Yale's defense was able to contain Joe Holland, who had come into the game the leading major-college rusher in the nation, to 55 yards in 18 carries. His previous low this fall had been in the 80s, against Colgate. Cornell, which until IS days ago was unbeaten and in second place in the Ivy League standings, plunged into a tie for the cellar with Perm, each 1-3-1. Cornell is 3-3-1 overall, Yale 3-2-2.

Cornell's two touchdowns came in the last four minutes, on a 1-yard run by Ken Talton and a 20-yard pass by sophomore quarterback Mike Ryan to A Tom? Weidenkopf. Ryan, who'd thrown only one i pass this season, was 5-for-10, playing much of the second half. Yale used reserves throughout the fourth quarter or else it might well have topped the modern Eli high against Cornell, a 47-21 game in 1954. The only higher figures were in the 1880s. Cornell injuries included third-string tailback Brian Quinn, who suffered a shoulder separation.

Brad Decker, starting tight end, suffered a toe injury, extent of which wasn't known last night. 17-7 Colgate win on Colosimo TDs interrupted last weekend at Maine, when as yesterday it had to go without its top two quarterbacks, Gary Urzelack and Hawaiian Scott Sautter, both injured against Penn. Fill-in Mike Fritz was 7-for-25 for 78 yards, suffering four interceptions which cornerback Paul Lawler and safetyman Tom McGarrity split. QB Fritz was his team's leading rusher with 13-for-54, Ed Rogusky with 17-for-52 and "local boy" Brian Musician, co-captain who is a Sherburne-Earlville graduate, bad 5-for-32 as the Leopards' starting Colgate, which has won the teams' last nine meetings, is 2-6 and finishes with road games at Bucknell, Delaware and Rutgers. fJV ja A -lllifl rj i fi vVN A CanwN (It 1414 Yak 7 14 II 1-41 Yale O'Brien 11 run (Schawl! kick) By SUNDAY Wire Services HAMILTON Junior fullback Angelo Colisimo scored two first-half touchdowns to help stake Colgate to a 17-0 lead as the Red Raiders hung on to claim a 17-7 victory over Lafayette here yesterday.

Colgate jumped on top when Colisimo scored on a 1-yard plunge at 8:57 of the first quarter, capping an 80-yard, 13-play march he had helped keep alive by catching a 27-yard pass from quarterback John Marzo. The Raiders moved 59 yards to Lafayette's i before stalling arid settling for a 22-yard field goal from freshman Pete Fenner, boosting their lead to 10-0 on the final play of the first quarter. Colisimo, who netted 128 yards on 32 carries plus 45 yards on four pass-catcbes, dove over right tackle from the 1 to tally Colgate's final with 2:35 left in the half. Lafayette scored midway through the third quarter after senior safety Jim Medes picked off a Marzo pass near midfield. Nine plays later, senior quarterback Mike Fritz combined with wing-back Max Shoemaker on a 14-yard touchdown pass.

Safety Tom McGarrity and cornerback Paul Lawler each intercepted two Lafayette passes as Colgate's defense stifled the Leopards' attack, limiting it to 221 yards in total offense. The Raiders amassed 360 yards in total offense, with Owego junior Marao hitting on 9-for-16 for 113 yards. He also picked up 28 yards on 6 carries to remain the team's No. 2 rusher, back of only Colosimo.
