COLLEGE FOOTBALL The Sundav Press Now 13. 1993BinqhBmton. Erenberg rumbles for 212 as Colgate romps From Press wire services a Nov. 26 NCAA Division 1-AA playoff opener. A fifth straight 200-yard game for Erenberg would match the record set three years ago by Marcus Allen of Southern Cal.

Ironically, he wasn't the leading rusher of yesterday's game. Richmond's sturdy Jarvis Jennings, a 212-pound senior from Jefferson City, ran for 221 yards on 37 rushes. Richmond, 3-7, scored on its initial possession when sophomore quarterback Bob Bleier hit Leland Melvin with a 34-yard touchdown pass. The Spiders added a 2-point conversion. Colgate struck back to the Richmond 12, but a poorly thrown Steve Calabria pass was intercepted.

The Spiders moved to midfield, gained more ground on an exchange of punts and drove to a first down at the Colgate 7 only to have Jennings' second-down burst to within a yard of the goal end in the bobble that Lopus recovered in the end zone for a Erenberg's backup, 155-pound junior Stacy Hall, got the HAMILTON It took Rich Erenberg a few extra minutes to get his motor purring this time, but when he did Colgate's troubles for the afternoon were over and Erenberg was off to his fourth straight 200-yard football game. The nation's leading collegiate rusher carried 26 times for yards including the first two Colgate touchdowns of a 43- victory over Richmond yesterday. The visitors took an early 8-0 lead during Colgate's failure tj) get up steam and barely missed a quick second touchdown when they fumbled at the Colgate 1-yard line and a Raider Recovered in the end zone. 1 Colgate scored on seven of its last eight possessions after failing to cash in on its first four. 1 The Raiders, 7-3, complete their schedule on Saturday at Connecticut where victory probably will earn a trip south for narmiesstoucnnacK.

Colgate finally marched 67 yards in eight plays early in the second period with Erenberg running for an 8-yard touchdown to make it 8-6. On Colgate's next possession Erenberg romped in from 44 yards out. Calabria's extra-point passes failed after both scores, but Mike Powers added a 38-yard field goal 54 seconds before the half The second quarter was not all good news for the Raiders, however. Fullback Gil Terenzi, the team captain and a valued blocker for Erenberg and Calabria, suffered a leg injury that will shelve him for the season. His backup, junior Bob Clark from Syracuse's Westhill High, proceeded to score two of Colgate's next three touchdowns, starting with the final five yards of the 49-yard drive that opened the second half.

other two second-half Colgate touchdowns. It was Colgate's 14th straight victory at Andy Kerr Field, where coach Fred Dunlap's record is 24-3. They've won 24 of their last 27 against Division 1-AA opposition, with two of this year's defeats by Div. 1-A Wyoming and Rutgers. Erenberg's 112 points exceeds by one the Colgate record set in 1925 by Eddie Tryon and also breaks the Div.

1-AA mark. The 193-yard tailback from Chappaqua has 1,717 yards after successive 200-yard days against Wyoming, Lafayette, Penn and Richmond. He's two yards short of the single-season 1-AA mark and is 175 short of replacing Herschel Walker as the third best in any classification.

Quarterback Jeff Hostetler, in his final home game, threw for three touchdowns and ran for another yesterday as 15th-rjmked West Virginia moved closer to its third straight bowl appearance with a 35-7 college football victory over Rutgers. "Jeff has gotten better every game," said West Virginia coach-Don Nehlen, whose Mountaineers played before scouts from 'the Liberty, Hall of Fame, Peach, Citrus and Gator bowls. "He really hasn't had a bad game all year; he's just gotten better all the time.

"I don't know where we are on the bowl picture, but I'm sure we're in somebody's bowl picture. When you win eight games, there's not too many teams who have done that." Hostetler completed 17 of 28 passes for 279 yards as the Mountaineers improved to 8-2. West Virginia scored on three of its first four possessions as Hostetler, who passed the career total offense mark, directed scoring drives of 65, 61 and 74 yards. He (Sassed 40 yards to Gary Mullen for one touchdown, hit Willie Efrewery with a 45-yard touchdown pass on the next series and ran for a 1-yard touchdown as the Mountaineers built a 21-7 Eilftime lead against the 3-7 Scarlet Knights. cOn the first pass and the second pass, we saw they were levering short, so we just went long," explained Hostetler, completed seven passes to Rich Hollins for 97 yards.

"We $ist went right past them and wore them down as the game fcienton." West Virginia receivers continually found the open seams in Rogers' pass defense.

The game was glayed in 13-degree wind chill factor weather and whipping CORTLAND In a radical turnabout from last year's Cortland State football windup against playoff-bound St. Lawrence, yesterday was strictly the Dave Cook Show in a 28-0 Cortland State romp. The junior from Vestal took over the one-game, one-season and career rushing records for the Red Dragons in a spectacular 276-yard display that included touchdown runs of 57, 83 and 19 yards. That's in contrast to the 4-yard day to which Cook was held in a 40-27 defeat last November at St.

Lawrence, when three of the Saints went over 100 yards to complete a 9-0 schedule. Much of that St. Lawrence running attack was back this year, but with Lelan Rogers and Bennett Steans sidelined by injuries, the visitors' rushing was just a 79-yard whisper yesterday. The other Cortland score was a 58-yard scamper by senior veteran Tom Lee, starting at quarterback in his first collegiate game at that position. A high school quarterback, Lee had spent his Cortland career as a halfback and kick-return man.

He passed for only nine yards yesterday. Cortland's first touchdown was vintage Cook ex-temporaneity. Apparently piled up on a try at the left side, he tugged away from the pack, cut across the backfield to the right side of the snowy field and went the route down the right sideline for the only first-half score. His 83-yard score was a straight shot off tackle and down the middle of the field. On the the 19-yar-der, a sweep to the right, he put a move on a defender, then put a hand on a teammate to regain his bal- ance and was gone again.

It came on Cook's last carry of the game, though 6:42 left on the clock, and it took him three yards past 1983 graduate Mike Bowe's career record of 2,299 yards. While Cook has another season, fullback Greg George's career is complete after a remarkable consistency by the the Bainbridge-Guilford graduate who wasn't converted from linebacker until the season was under way. He wasn't stopped for a loss on any of his 64 carries, including an 8-for-36 farewell yesterday. Cook's 28 touchdowns rushing are another Cortland career record. His 1,057 yards make him the first player in the Dragons' 58-year football history to in a season.

Cortland finishes the season at 4-5, which is nine games more than the Dragons were expected to play during grim days last winter when the institution's president announced that he was discontinuing ball as an economy measure. At that stage, Cook was giving serious thought to transferring. Despite the sport being reinstated, coach Ed Decker resigned in protest to limitations, and previous assistant Larry Czarnecki took over the team. St. Lawrence finished 5-3-1.

BOSTON U. 35, BUCKNELL 8 Junior tailback Paul Lewis ran for three touchdowns, passed for another and broke Boston University's career rushing record with 2,774 yards in a rout of visiting Bucknell.

HOLY CROSS 24, DELAWARE 0 Quarterback Peter Mul-doon threw for 174 yards and two touchdowns to lead Holy Cross, 9-0-1, to its shutout at Delaware. NORTHEASTERN 21, DELAWARE ST. 21 Mark Curtin's three touchdown runs were negated by a last minute 7-yard score by Delaware's Gene Lake as the teams fought to a tie at Northwestern. McCall, a 6-foot-l, 190-pound senior tailback from Miami, gained 133 yards by half time as the Panthers opened up a 17-0 lead. McCall's yardagetotal was the fifth highest in Pitt history.

"I give the ground crew a lot of credit, too," said Pitt coach Foge Fazio, after praising McCall. "About 7 o'clock this morning, the field was a sheet of ice." HARVARD 28, PENN 0 Quarterback Greg Gizzi scored two touchdowns and Harvard charged into a tie for the Ivy League lead by blanking visiting Penn. The victory, coupled with Dartmouth's 25-7 loss to Brown, left Harvard tied with Penn and Dartmouth with 4-1-1 records in the league. The championship, which ended in a three-way tie for the first time last year, will be decided next week when Harvard plays at Yale and Penn is host to Dartmouth. Harvard, beaten soundly by Dartmouth last month, rode a hard-nosed defense, Penn penalties and a running game' powered by Steve Ernst, Mark Vignali and Tim McGugan to the one-sided triumph.

BROWN 25, DARTMOUTH 7 Sophomore kicker Chris In-gerslev hit four field goals to lead visiting Brown over Dartmouth. Quarterback Joe Potter capped a 67-yard drive with a 22-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Brad McCaulley at 4:31 of the first quarter to give Brown a 6-0 lead. Jon Gallen-der was wide on the extra point kick. Less than seven minutes later Ingerslev connected on his first field goal, a 27-yarder to give Brown a 9-0 lead. It never Syracuse.

Union QB extends streak Continued from 1C The 10-0 winners are ranked No. 3 in the Division III N.Y. colleges Bombers end season with a win From Press wire services Union College junior Dan Stewart fired a 9-yard touchdown pass, the 19th straight game in which he has thrown for a touchdown, and Greg Sticka kicked field goals of 27 and 28 yards for a 13-3 victory over Hamilton. The Schenectady hosts' second 8-1 season in Al Bagnoli's two years as head coach kept alive their hopes for an NCAA Division III playoff berth, although last weekend's loss at Middlebury still may prove costly. Hamilton ends its season at 2-6.

Until Stewart's fourth-quarter touchdown pass, it had been strictly a duel of field goals, with Hamilton's Rich Strabley making it a halftime tie with a 22-yarder in the second period. Until this year, the NCAA record for consecutive-game touchdown passes was 18, but Brigham Young's Heisman Trophy candidate, Steve Young, extended his string to 21 yesterday. Battaglia carried 13 times for 105 yards and scored early on runs of 21 and two yards as he led Hobart to a 21-0 halftime lead. J.C. Stein caught a 34-yard pass from Tommy O'Hare in between Battaglia's scores.

Until then Rochester led, 7-0, on a 24-yard touchdown run by freshman Sam Guerri-eri. Stark, who set a Syracuse U. record that still stands with four TD passes in 1952 against Fordham, later was SU's quarterback coach in the national-championship 1959 season, before moving to the Rochester job. Both teams finished 4-5. STONY BROOK 28, BROCKPORT 17-Jorge Taylor scored twice as the visitors finished 0-10 in their first season under former Buffalo Bill safetyman Keith Moody.

Brockport's two TDs included was a 76-yard pass from Gordon Bukaty to Phil Ellis late in the third quarter. WAGNER 41. KEAN 7 Tim Kelley threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Seahawks, after a slow start this season, completed their schedule 7-2-1. when O'Hare ran in from 1 yard out and when Jim Baldacci ran in from the 7. Three kicks failed and one attempt for a two-point pass conversion failed in the second half.

BUFFALO 47, ALFRED 17 Marty Barrett added to his passing records for the host Bulls, completing 23 of 42 throws for 370 yards and six touchdowns. He set Buffalo season records of 2,379 yards and 18 touchdowns and career marks of 6,945 yards and 44 touchdowns. The Bulls 8-2 completes the school's best season since 1959. Buffalo flanker Chris D'Amico had nine receptions for 134 yards. Alfred quarterback Glenn Law completed 27 of 51 passes for 304 yards but only one touchdown.

The Saxons finished 4-5-1. HOFSTRA 31, COAST GUARD 10- The unbeaten Long Island Dutchmen remained the No. 1 Eastern candidate for a Division III playoff invitation as Bob McKenna scored touchdowns on runs of 15, 5 and 17 yards. SU junior defensive back Ron Hobby, an Eastern Massachusetts High School Player of the Year who got away from the Eagles, hopped on the ball. Flutie was out of aces and SU quarterback Todd Norley was ready to play his last one.

Staring at a third-and-two from the BC 28, Norley fcecuted a play-action fake and lofted a TD pass to ght end Marty Chalk, who was cutting across the thought it was the best call of the game," said Ifiorley, a sophomore who survived three interceptions to throw for two TDs and 180 yards while picking up 48 more on the ground in a Flutianlike effort. "Their defense had been aggressive with stunts aid blitzes," Norley said. "It caught them off guard short yardage." tj Chalk said the play, which was called from the jiench, would have worked in the first half, but Nor-fiy was sacked before he could get it off "It's like Jamie Kimmel said. The defense made 1 the big plays, but the offense had to have something to do with it," said MacPherson, whose best year was in 1981 when the club went 4-6-1. "I mean, jfihey did put 21 points on the board." i They did, but that was mostly due to a defense Jat has had the last two ECAC's defensive players ff the week in Kimmel and linebacker Tony iRomano.

JSU's first score came off its only legitimate scoring drive, a 63-yard march that took seven plays and as capped by Norley's 26-yard TD pass to Mike $ano just 3:52 into the game. In the second quarter, linebacker Rich Roche Jfjelped SU break a 7-7 tie with a diving interception of a Flutie pass that was batted down by Winter. Five plays later, Jamie Covington waltzed into the jjJ4 zone standing up with just 32 seconds left in the "The idea was to contain him (Flutie)," Kimmel tiaid "We didn't want him getting outside on us. 'Seah, I got a little tired chasing him, but it wasn't MacPherson and his players downplayed the bit-jferness of the rivalry. It's a bitterness that surfaced ijfter last season's 20-13 loss that Flutie pulled off (with magic in the last minute.

It also grew from a day four years ago when a winless BC team shocked If Syracuse, which was eyeing the Tangerine Bowl. was before BC won, 27-10, which sent SU to the idependence Bowl instead. Ithaca College's sturdy defense kept the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy silent for all but the final nine seconds, and the Bombers scored two second-half touchdowns to post an error-filled 12-7 victory at Captain Tomb Field at Kings Point, Long Island. The Bombers completed their season with a 7-3 record.

The Merchant Marines finished 4-5. Ithaca intercepted five passes, but fumbled the ball away four times and had two passes intercepted. The Bombers were penalized 11 times for 133 yards, the Mariners nine for 74. And although Ithaca never trailed, it allowed the Marines two desperation passes in the final eight seconds after the Marines recovered an onside kick. Ithaca limited the Marines to 44 yards rushing on 39 carries.

Nose tackle Bill Sharon led Ithaca with 15 tackles and two quarterback sacks. After a scoreless first half, IC took a 6-0 lead on senior halfback Joe Sirianni's 56-yard touchdown run. Sirianni, who led all ball carriers with 111 yards on 15 carries, sped around right end for the score. The Bombers expanded their lead to 12-0 with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter on a 13-play, 86-yard drive. Quarterback Steve Kass kept the march alive with a 9-yard run on third-and-one from the Ithaca 23 and a 9-yard pass to Craig Chiesa on third-and-two from the Ithaca 38.

The Mariners forced a punt, but Ithaca's drive remained alive when punter Jeff Lacey was roughed. Kass concluded the drive by scoring from the 5. A pass interference penalty in the final minute gave the Marines a first-and-goal from the 1, and quarterback Don Dumbrowski threw 1 yard to Boren Chambers with nine seconds left. The Merchant Marine recovered the onside kick at midfield with eight seconds remaining, but Dum-browski's desperation heave into the end zone fell incomplete as time expired. Ithaca was penalized, however, for unsportsmanlike conduct, and the Marines lined up at the Ithaca 35 for another heave.

This one was picked off by cornerback Roy Anderson, his second interception, to end the game. Tioga's Howard Horton rushed 15 times for 80 yards. Kass completed four of eight passes for 51 yards. Backup QB Jeff Flanders was l-for-6 for 9 yards. He had one pass intercepted.

Cornell runs wild, 31-6 "I don't think that has anything to do with it," Kimmel said. "It just feels good because they were flo. 13." Witkowski and Harmon last weekend took over the Ivy passing and rushing leads respectively, but the Lion passer was held to 134 yards yesterday, compared to his 308-yard average in five previous league games. He completed 16 of 36 passes but had three passes intercepted. Cornell, with Harmon rolling, threw only six times.

The loss dropped Columbia to 1-6-2 oh the season and 1-4-1 in the league, while the Red raised its record to 2-6-1, 2-3-1 in Ivy play. Columbia has been one of Cornell's few dependable whipping-boys in recent years. Baughan's predecessor, Bob Blackman, escaped a winless season in his 1977 debut with a 20-7 victory over the Lions and the Big Red has swept the series since. varsity seasons but the only other player with 1,000, at least in the era of statistics-keeping, was Joe Holland who was a national leader in 1978 with 1,396. Harmon scored the Big Red's first touchdown of the day on a 2-yard run around left end midway through the first quarter.

He gained 75 yards rushing on the 83-yard, first-quarter drive. He added a 4-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. The Big Red upped its margin to 18-0 in the second quarter on a 2-yard run by flanker Terry Thomas, Harmon's 2-point conversion run, and Pete Baccile's 23-yard field goal. Columbia scored its only touchdown on a 6-yard pass from quarterback John Wit-kowski to tight end Dan Upperco midway through the final guarter. From Press wire services ITHACA Tailback Derrick Harmon became the third back in Cornell football history to post a rushing season yesterday with a career-high 220 yards in a 31-6 Ivy League rout of visiting Columbia.

Harmon had reached the 200-yard mark for the first time last weekend against Yale, gaining 210 as the Big Red gave Maxie Baughan his first coaching victory. Harmon had 34 carries yesterday, and if he had stayed in to the finish he might well have threatened Ed Marinaro's school-record 281 yards, set as a 1969 sophomore against Harvard. Harmon had 162 yards on 23 carries by halftime. He has 1,085 yards going into Saturday's finale at Princeton.
