Press and Sun-Bulletin from Binghamton, New York • 21

Sept. 13, 1981 The Sunday Press, Binghomton, N.Y. 5-B Owls don't give a hoot for Syracuse The East Just before halftime, Murphy drove the Owls 53 yards in seven plays, the last his scoring pass to Ermert. r- As was the case last week against Rutgers' Ralph Leak, Syracuse's pass rush and deep defense has been able to make previously mortal QBs look like Dan Fouts and Ron Jawor ski rolled into one. Neither suffered an interception against the Orange.

MacPherson's only consolation at this point is that the last Orange coach to lose his first two, Frank "Buck" O'Neil, is now in the Foot ball Hall of Fame. After losing to Carlisle and Colgate, the 1913 team won its next two- but was playing Hamilton and Hobart. MacPherson has to face Illinois and Indiana followed by Maryland, Penn State and Pitt. ing a pass by Syracuse quarterback Dave Warner. In the first half, the Temple rush limited Warner to 25 yards passing though he finished with 14-for-21 and 126 yards.

Syracuse sophomore running back Jamie Covington tore tendons in his leg leg, the same leg he broke on opening night a year ago, and will be admitted to Upstate Medical Center today. A pivotal play for Syracuse came early in the second period when, trailing 7-0, they drove from the Orange 20 to the Temple 49. But on fourth and less than a yard, Warner was stacked up on a keeper. Murphy then drove the Owls for their second score, with passes to wide receivers Tracy Hall and Gerald Lucear covering 31 of the 51 yards. From Press wire services PHILADELPHIA The last time Temple's football team went to Syracuse, coach Wayne Hardin pulled his team off the field.

Last night's 31-19 Temple victory was the second straight Syracuse trip here in which SU's head coach wished he had a different team to put on the field. "Our defense iust isn't stopping anyone and our offense simply didn't get the job done," said first-year Orange coach Dick MacPherson last night. "We've got to shore up everything." The defeat, atop last weekend's 30-27 Carrier Dome upset by Rutgers made MacPherson the first Syracuse coach since 1913 to lose his first two games. than 50 points a game in a 3-game stretch. Myers is a rarely-used sub now.

Brown, who scored four touchdowns in the Owls' opening 42-0 win over William and Mary, tallied on two 1-yard runs to give Temple a 14-0 lead. Murphy's 2-yard scoring pass to tight end Jim Ermert made it 21-0 at halftime. Brown, a 175-pound junior from Kingston, N.Y., finished with 94 yards on 27 carries. Morris finished with 72 in 15, but 48 came on one late-game carry and he was held to 10 yards in first-half frustration. during which the total-offense gap was 191-43.

Temple linebacker Tom Kilkenny rumbled 21 yards for a lockup fourth-quarter touchdown after intercept Junior tailback Jim Brown no relation to the Syracuse immortal of the same name ran for two Temple touchdowns and completely outshone all-time SU rushing leader Joe Morris, before a slim Veterans Stadium crowd of 15,091. Syracuse won last year's meeting 31-7, during which a verbal and physical outbreak frustrated Temple players and fans in the stands, prompted Hardin to take his team to the locker-room for several mid-game minutes. The year before, MacPherson predecessor Frank Maloney suffered a 44-17 thumping here in which freshman Sherman Myers scored five Owls touchdowns on an Orange team which was being billed as major-bowl material after averaging more Forks' Pratt nails IC i. Mmm i 1 mtrnxmmmmmmm- Special to The Press ITHACA- Tom Pratt, Albany State junior quarterback from Chenango Forks, twice teamed with senior tight end Mike McGuire for touchdown passes in a 17-7 upset, of Ithaca College yesterday.

After Ithaca reached the 1 in vain after an early fumble recovery, Albany made it 7-0 at the half when Pratt connected with 6-foot-5 York-town Heights product McGuire from the 7 with 0:28 remaining.

Two passes to Bob Brien, one followed by a fa-cemask penalty, were big plays in the 68-yard drive. Albany made it 10-0 when Tom Lincoln kicked a 32-yard field goal that kissed off a crossbar to cap the first drive of the second half. Ithaca didn't get on the board until only 9:05 remained in the game when Kevin Didio dove over from the 1. Ed Kracke's kick pulled the Bombers within 3. Albany clinched the win as Pratt-McGuire teamed up for their second 7-yard scoring pass play with 3:53 Ithaca, which had scored 40 points in last year's Albany opener (with Pratt only figuring in one play), was without running back John Koob, who will miss at least two games with a slight shoulder separation.

It generated only 45 yards on the ground while quarterbacks Doug De-Carr and Corey Davies missed on 25 of 37 passes. Cortland thumped BUFFALO Quarterback Marty Barrett completed four touchdown passes and flanker Joe D'Amico es-tablEFied a single game pass reception fecord to lead SUNY-Buffalo to a victory over Cortland State yesterday in the season opener for both teams. Barrett hooked up with D'Amico for three of his touchdown aerials. D'Amico finished the afternoon with five receptions for 218 yards. Barrett, who completed lO-of-18 passes for 297 yards, hit D'Amico on the first play from scrimmage for a 66-yard TD pass.

With "7:16 remaining in the first quarter, Barrett and D'Amico combined on a 33-yard touchdown pass to cap a 7-play, 94-yard drive for the Bulls. Buffalo linebacker Gerry Quinlivan intercepted a pass thrown by Cortland's Jay Cieply at the 6-yard line to start the drive for the Bulls and stop a Red Dragon scoring threat. Cortland got its only score of the game with 7 seconds remaining in the first half. Cieply, who completed 10-of-31 passes for 173 yards, completed a 37-yard TD pass to Frank Brum and Steve Armstrong added the. luck.

Penn Continued from IB liams, a 40-yard field goal by Franco and a 1-yard touchdown plunge by-Joel Coles consummated the rout in the second half. For Cincinnati, the lone beacon in an otherwise dank offensive performance was 5-foot-9 senior tailback James Bettis. Cut from the team in 1978, he made it as a walk-on in '79 and accounted for 48 percent of its offense in 1980, when he rushed for 1 1,106 yards. Yesterday he gained 113 yards for a team that compiled 125 yards in total offense. He did much of it by running through holes of his own making.

Warner, on the other hand, had the help of an offensive line that averages 260 pounds and boasts a pair of all-America guard candidates Sean Farrell and Mike Munchak. "WeTiave a great, experienced of-fensjre- line," said Warner, 11th on the alHtime Penn State rushing list (Bobhji Campbell is 10th). "And I'm reading defenses better. I worked out a lot this summer. Upper-body and leg-wise, I'm stronger." "I've said all along that Warner is in the best shape of his career," Lions coach Joe Paterno noted.

"And he's smarter. He knows what it's all about." So does Gottfried, who built Murray State (Ky.) into a small-college power in 1979-80 and has been asked to restore Cincinnati football to a position of respectability.

Rutgers needs 2 FGs, 1 bomb to edge Colgate From Press wire services NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J.- Maybe next month's renewal of the Syracuse-Colgate series isn't the mismatch Colgate pessimists fear. Their Red Raiders lost by only 13-5 yesterday to Rutgers, which a week ago led Syracuse all the way in a 29-27 Carrier Dome success.

Except for one Rutgers it was a 6-5 game yesterday. Colgate went the entire second half with freshman Long Islander Steve Calabria at quarterback, but three QBs could amass only 59yards. The Oct. 31 game at Syracuse resumes the once fiercely-even rivalry which was discontinued in 1961 after 71-0, 61-7 and 47-0 embarrassments. Yesterday's battle was reminiscent of the 1976 finale of Fred Dunlap's first year as Colgate coach, in which an 11-0 Rutgers team barely escaped with a controversial 17-9 win at Giants Stadium.

Though Ralph Leak, who had thrown for 211 yards and two TDs at Syracuse without an interception, added 133 aerial yards yesterday, he was intercepted four times (once by Endi-cott linebacker Dave Wolf Two field goals by Alex Falcinelli who last year was No. 3 in major-coltege FG output plus the 37-yard touchdown pass play from Leek to Eric Johnson was all the Scarlet Knights were able to manage. Colgate had a 125-121 rushing edge, led by fullback Tom McChesney'J 104 yards in 22 carries. Colgate had taken an early 2-0 lead when a bad snap on a punt landed in the end zone. Defensive end Andy Carino set up Rutgers first scoring drive midway through the first quarter when he recovered starting Colgate quarterback Brian Plunkett's fumble at the Colgate 41.

I Falcinelli topped the rally with a 32-yard field goal that put the Knights bn top 3-2. Defensive back Bob Ciampaglio's interception of a Plunkett Vh minutes later positioned Rutgers for a 2-play drive and a 10-2 advantage. Leading rusher Albert Ray moved the ball nine yards, and Leek followed with a 37-yard bomb to Johnson for the touchdown with two minutes remaining in the first quarter. The second period was scoreless, marked by a brief Colgate quarterback switch to senior Tom Rosenfeld and numerous errors by Leek that led to two interceptions. Colgate missed a chance to even the score early in the third period when Calabria's sweep into the end zone was nullified by a holdiig call.

Instead, the Raiders went for a 34-yard field goal by Brian Byrne, narrowing the gap at 10-5 before 18,655 spectators at Rutgers Stadium. HOLY CROSS 14, BOSTON UNIVERSITY Sophomore fullback Mark Covington scored one touchdown and had yards on 19 carries to lead Holy Cross to a home win and give new coach Rick Carter his first win as the Crusader head man. NAvi 17, CITADEL 7 Second string quarterback Marco Pagnanelli scored twice on runs of three and two yards to help lift Navy to a season-opening victory in Annapolis. Pagrianelli's performance overshadowed the running of senior tailback Eddie Meyers, whose 136 yards moved him from fifth to third on Navy's list of all-time rushing leaders, moving ahead of Joe Bellino and Bob Jackson. tiCSSLE if urn TZ' m.
