They had a lot of turnovers, but part of that is the hard hitting. We're going after the ball and doing some other things that a good defensive teams does. Offensively, we just were too much for them.

We are playing very, very well. Well find out next week in South Bend. Almost at the time Paterno was speaking, the Notre Dame-Pitt score (24-16 in the fourth quarter) came in and Paterno ajusted his horned rims and smurked, "Sure, I have an interest in that game, but I'm not sure which way I want it to go. We know we have a tough football game to play next week and then we have our shot at Pitt after that So, it really doesn't make much -difference. We have a three-game playoff now for the national championship.

We have to handle our own affairs and not worry about anyone else."

PITTSBURGH (AP) Joe Howard caught a 54-yard touchdown pass from Blair Kiel on a trick play and Allen Pinkett shocked top-ranked Pitt with a dazzling 76-yard touchdown run as unranked Notre Dame rallied to upset the previously unbeaten Panthers 31-16 yesterday.

This one was scored on Novak's 22-yard TD pass to Jack Gatehouse. The extra point attempt failed, but who.

cared? The score was 26-0 and the Lafayette contingent on hand was ready to return to their tailgating parties with victory well in hand. Or was it? that mark didn't last too long. Lafayette came out smoking with Kowgios scoring two first quarter touchdowns. The first six-pointer capped a 61-yard drive which Kowgios ended with a spinning six-yard run around the left end. He was back in the end zone just three minutes later, this time with a 20-yard scamper set up by a punishing block from fullback Craig Williams.

The 14-0 Leopard lead was increased further early in the second quarter when quarterback Frank Novak hit split end Frank Corbo with a three-yard scoring strike. A 70-yard punt return by Ryan Priest goes way, way back to 1927 when Jack O'Reilly raced for 252 yards in a contest The new mark was pleasing to the 5-11, 210-pound junior, but was not the best part of his day. "Sure, I'm happy about the record," said Kowgios. "But it's more important for us to pull out a big game like. This was a very important win for us.

We've set our sights at finishing 7-3 and that's what we're going to do." Going into yesterday's game, Lafayette's record against Princeton had been a less than awesome 1-26-3. In fact, the Leopards had never scored more than 14 points in a game against the Tigers. Needless to say, ten by any of the 12,417 people on hand to see it. It was an offensive spectacular, pure and simple. How else could you describe a game which featured 12 touchdowns and 1,037 yards in total offense? There were several records shattered.

The most impressive and perhaps the most significant to the outcome of the game was set by Lafayette halfback Nick Kowgios who gained a Leopard record 270 yards rushing and scored four touchdowns. Not a bad day's work. Kowgios' rushing output broke a Lafayette record for rushing yards in a game that By KEITH GROLLER Call-Chronicle Sports Writer PRINCETON, N.J. The public address announcer at yesterday's Lafayette-Princeton game was so busy telling the crowd at Palmer Stadium about broken records that by the end of the contest he was starting to sound like one. Yes, there were broken records, yards Eiled up, and plenty of points put up on the oard and when the dust settled on this chilly afternoon in central New Jersey, the Leopards came away with a with a 47-37 victory in a game that will not be soon forgot Before anyone could get through the first chorus of "Turn out the Lights," the Tigers had clawed their way back into the game.

"But they got a quick goal and the momentum started to shift" Just 31 seconds after the Pates second tally, Bob Tucker brought the Spartans to within one. In the midst of a long kick from midfield, Freedom keeper Dave Jan-owski came out and collided with John Frankenfield, who was trying to head the ball toward the net. All Tucker had to do was direct that dribbling sphere homeward.

Both teams had good opportunities to score in the second quarter, but only Southern Lehigh was able to capitalize. With eight minutes remaining in the half, Tucker slipped past two scrambling defenders and uncorked a shot which hooked wide left. But disastrously, Freedom fullback Joe Pinter tried to direct it back to the safety of his keeper only to have the ball roll just an inch over the goal line and stop. The ultimate sin had been committed. Freedom had given its opponents a foal.

Having been outshot 7-3 in the first quarter, outhern Lehigh was now taking it to the Pates in the second period. The pendulum appeared dipped in blue and white. But while the Spartans stuck with their bang-it-out-without-looking style of offense, Freedom remained patient and calm. This control style of game resulted in what would be the deciding goal at 5:08 of the third period as Matt Wasel scored unassisted. At 54 seconds of the fourth quarter, Simoncic tallied his second and Freedom's last "It's a nice way to finish up a career," smiled Rodenbach.

"I can't say this one means anything more to me, but it's great for the kids because they lost in the district final three out of the last four years. In that respect, it means a lot to them." When questioned if he was disappointed with the PIAA's decision to only allow the District 11 champion to move into interdistricts this year rather than the first and second place teams as in previous seasons, Solehi's Barnes just shrugged his shoulders. "We had our opportunity to be number one," he said simply. The softhearted were, undoubtedly, rooting for Southern Lehigh last night in the finals of the District 11 soccer tournament at Bicentennial Park. Striving for their first district championship in the history of the school, the Spartans were probably the underdogs simply because they represented the Colonial League.

With them rode the well wishes of mothers, the kisses of some cheerleaders and the blessing of a parish priest or two. Its opponent, Freedom, was the coldhearted, methodical one. Surveyed by the granite chin and folded arms of Coach Skip Rodenbach, the Patriots were bidding for their seventh district title in 16 years. They didn't need a mother's back pat a girlfriend's peck or divine intervention. When it comes to soccer, Freedom is a machine.

Last night before 1,780 fans, the biggest crowd to ever witness a district final it showed just that With gears churning and gauges quivering, the Patriots controlled their way to a 4-2 victory. Freedom will now meet the District 3 runnerup, Carlisle, at 8 p.m. on Wednesday at Bicentennial Park in the first round of interdistricts. "Freedom is an outstanding soccer team," said a crushed Southern Lehigh Coach Dave Barnes afterward. "Their outside people played extremely hard and it seemed we were always chasing them.

Only our keeper, Robert Klein, kept the score from being a lot higher." The Patriots began the game playing an inspired, nearly flawless brand of soccer. In fact just three minutes and two seconds into the first quarter, Scott Reimer headed in a cornerkickfrom Kal Sarkozy and the black and gold fans were given to some early rejoicing. Freedom continued to press and at 12:20 made it 2-0 as Ken Simoncic rifled a shot into the upper right hand corner of the net "The way wev were playing at that point I thought we were going to get a lot more goals," said Rodenbach, Call-Chronicle photo Chuck Zovko Freedom players are mobbed by their fans following 4-2 win over Southern Lehigh in District 11 championship game last night 3 De9 Wai deps By JOHN JAY FOX Call-Chronicle Sports Writer Sixers defeat Celtics in 2 overtimes C6 4 Complete end of talks is averted Mediator Sam Kagel ended face-to-face meetings in the National Football league strike last night and reverted to shuttle negotiations in an effort to save the foundering talks C9 Author William Du Bois remarked that the return for your labor must be the satisfaction which that work brings. Moravian labored for 60 minutes yesterday before falling to Delaware Valley Valley 14-6 for its sixth loss of the season and Greyhound head coach Rocco Calvo pronounced, "If there is any satisfaction in the loss, it was the outstanding play of this football team." "You can't ask for more," Calvo noted. "This was the best football game we played all year." Moravian entered the contest at home a 14-point underdog.

The Aggies strolled into town with six wins the latest, a 23-20 win over Division II Mansfield State and were packing a defense that had allowed just 30 total yards on the ground in their last three appearances. The Greyhounds greeted the vaulted Aggie by -rushing for 259 yards as Scott Rhinehart (84), Jimmy Joseph (72) and Dave Latourette (60) teamed for 216 yards. The Greyhound defense held Del Val to 150 yards rushing and 145 yards passing, but two big plays decided the contest. After a scoreless first period, Delaware Valley opened the second session with its scoreboard lighting ceremony. After a Shawn Phillips punt to the 33, Cosmo Lasko gained three yards on a dive, and quarterback Tom O'Neill tossed to Dan Glowatski for a 17-yard strike in the left flat.
