Waters, who replaced starter Kerry Ped-ley when U-E (3-0) was forced to pass trailing by nine points, in the closing minutes, completed his last five attempts to five different receivers for 85 yards in the final four minutes. On the decisive TD with 39 seconds Waters was forced out of the pocket, rolled to his right to avoid a flock of Wildcat linemen, and hit Adamson behind the JC secondary at about the 10-yard line. "I don't know what happened on that play," said JC coach Cal Rucker.

"Somebody said one of our guys was screened out, but we missed a few tackles, too." JC got the ball back after the ensuing kickoff at its 25-yard line, and proceeded to the U-E 10 pn three plays including a 51-yard pass from Joe Karusha to Matt Stein-fort on the first play of the drive. But time ran out on the Wildcats (2-1) as they lined up for one final play. It appeared U-E's comeback attempt had stalled when, with 2:05 to play, Johnson City's John Franey recovered the Tigers' onside kick at the Wildcats' 43.

Shocked at trailing by two touchdowns at halftime yesterday, Syracuse responded with 28 unanswered points to defeat Virginia Tech, 35-21. Syracuse's 4-0 start is its best-since 1960. The Hokies, who lost only two games last season, sank to 0-3 be-Fore 33,000 fans in Lane Stadium. "We took a gut check at half-time," said Syracuse coach Dick MacPherson, whose team is ranked No. 18 by United Press International.

"We know what kind of team we are now." Syracuse, which had not been behind at any point during its first three games, escaped to its locker room at the intermission trailing, 21-7. "At halftime," quarterback Don McPherson said, "I told the defense, 'We're coming back. Keep 'em down. We'll put it in the end McPherson made good on his promise, engineering back-to-" back, eight-play scoring drives of 80 and 71 yards. Chris Barnes capped the first drive with a 4-yard touchdown run with 6:59 left in the third quarter.

McPherson completed a 17-yard TD pass to Tommy Kane on SU's next possession. The extra point by Tim Vesling tied the score at 21-21, with 1:16 remaining in the period. "We had to get back to 21 and take the momentum away from them," MacPherson said. "That was important." The Orange took the game away, from Virginia Tech when tailback Robert Drummond raced 51 yards for a score on a trap play with 10:54 left. "After that, they got down on themselves," said Drummond, who rushed seven times for 80 yards and caught five passes for 44 yards.

An 11-yard TD pass from McPherson, who was 13-for-21 for 186 yards, to Kane on Syracuse's next possession finished the scoring.

Colgate starter Gary Aurora suffered three second-quarter interceptions and Dunlap On the opening play of Colgate's first fourth-quarter possession, Phelan hit split end Buddy Brown for an 82-yard score. Then, less than a minute apart, Kenny Gamble and Phelan added untouched touchdown runs of 27 yards and 1 yard, respectively. Those all came before a Cornell field goal. The significance of the three-pointer was probably lost on the Schoellkopf Field crowd of 18,000.

Carolina, 13-6 6D Mississippi From wire service reports NEW YORK Dwight Gooden was the lone New York Met in the clubhouse, verbalizing the required but empty optimism. It was over, the drubbing of Gooden by the Pittsburgh Pirates, who beat him yesterday, 8-2.

quite possibly, the Mets' season may be over. Coroner's report: Seven games left, the Mets are 3V2 games out of first place, four down to the St. Louis Cardinals in the loss column. Barring a mira- cle, the Mets' season will end at St. Louis in six days.

"Anytime you lose a game down the stretch it's frustrating," said Gooden, who was roughed up for five runs in three innings. "We still have a shot, but we're skating on very thin ice." Counting St. Louis' 5-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs and the Mets' loss to the Pirates, the magic number is five. Any total of five Cardinals wins and Mets losses means New York's season is finished. Bobby Bonilla had three hits and two RBI and Barry Bonds had two hits and two RBI to lead the Pi rates, who have won 22 of their last 31 games.

Right-hander Doug Drabek (10-12) pitched eight innings of six-hit, two-run ball and knocked in two runs with two hits. Gooden, coming off back-to-back complete games, had admonished the Pirates for over-celebrating while winning two of three against the Mets in Pittsburgh last week. In print, he had called their high-fiving act the behavior of "Little Leaguers." And he stated flatly that they Would not beat him. Going in, Gooden's lifetime record against Pittsburgh was 7-0, with a 1.47 ERA. "I said what I felt when I was asked," Gooden said.

"I don't regret it." Mets manager Davey Johnson said he disagrees with a published report that he would quit as manager unless he receives a contract extension. The New York Times reported yesterday that Johnson intimated to friends that he does not want to run the team next season as a lame-duck manager. He is in the second year of a three-year contract.

The Colonials' best start was 6-0-2 in 1975.

After yesterday's loss, they are 6-1-1. "Nobody will go unbeaten in Division III of the net out of the reach of SUNY goalie Adam Napell, who had eight saves. Cope's goal was on a free kick and Barker scored on what Schum called, a "semi-breakaway." SUNY outshot Union, 17-10. Union, which has played in the last four Division III playoffs and is ranked eighth in the state, is 3-0-1. SUNY's is at Elmira College Wednesday.

(in New York)," Colonials coach Tim Schum said. "We feel we played the four toughest teams on our schedule and came out with two wins (against Colgate and Ithaca), a tie (Oneonta State) and this loss. We are headed on the downhill stretch now." Schum said the match was played on an improvised practice field because the regular field was under water. "The ball didn't bounce as true," Schum said. "Not every pitch is Wembley Stadi um." Schum credited the play of Union goalie Denning McTague in keeping the Colonials off the board.

McTague made a diving deflection of a shot by Andy Szalaji, the Colonials' leading scorer with seven goals, from outside the penalty area early in the first half. McTague, who had 12 saves, also stopped striker Ian Grusd on a hard shot in the second half. Both Union goals found the upper corner Questions or comments?
