Later in that same period, junior Kennan Startzell kicked his third field goal of the game, a 28-yarder that sealed it. Also watching the Scarlet Knights claim their ninth consecutive victory of the season were two members of the "As far as I and our coaching staff are concerned, we have to be very, very proud of these kids," said Rutgers coach Frank Bums.

"I'm sure a lot of fans can't understand the kind of pressure they were playing under today. I couldn't be prouder of this team. Cross played a very good game but when they got ahead of us It didn't seem to bother our players." Burns also stated, "We would be very proud to represent the East in the Garden State Bowl and I definitely ity to play in it." Junior quarterback Bob Hcring (15 of 28 passes for 180 yards and one touchdown) considered the victory in this light: "We had an undefeated season two years ago and that brought us into the national limelight. But we had one other undefeated season before (1961) but we have never been invited to play in a bowl game. This could be the start of big-time football for us."

For most of the Rutgers players, it was the biggest game of their career and when the Scarlet Knights triumphantly trotted off the field with a 31-21 victory over Holy Cross yesterday, they were confidently awaiting a bid to the Garden State Bowl. They were not disappointed. The bid from the GSB committee came several hours later. Field aims to plant a community By JOE CANTLUPE Home News staff writer FRANKLIN Jack Field lives in the heart of Franklin. Look outside bis window and nowhere will you see the spread of suburban housing developments that slice through other parts of the township.

Instead, outside his Butler Road home in the center of a plush 2,000 acre estate that spreads from west of South Middlebush Road to Route 27 is a picture of serene, rolling countryside. But that setting is one the former advertising executive is willing to trade for another: a "dream" of thousands of housing units, leisure facilities and commercial buildings on his land. Field says he has no plans for an ordinary suburban development; rather a unique, self-contained community. And he took the first steps in that direction last week by filing an application with the Planning Board that includes a proposal for some 2,644 townhouses and garden apartments on a 396 acre tract bordered by Claremont Road, Vliet Road, Old Stage Road and Route 27. Under existing township zoning conditions, Field said he could have filed for the approvals a long time ago, but held off.

The reason, he said, "is because it would have had a negative impact on the township." He has asked the Planning Board to reduce the zoning density on the tract, from some seven units per acre to 3.5 units, on the average. With that reduction, Field says, he could develop a high-quality residential environment in four villages along Route 27. If the Planning Board approves, he See FIELD, pageA20 i---ft Like many other towns in the Raritan Valley, Woodbridge and North' Brunswick have been plagued with juvenile problems.

Across Middlesex County in New Brunswick, the 45-49 Dennis Street, apartment house bespeaks poverty and neglect, Its once-elegant window ornaments chopped in pieces, its original brick covered with peeling asphalt The church has been lovingly restored: the apartment house bears evid- ence of some attempt at maintenance.

But both are flawed projects, examples cited in a county whose architectural endowment largely has been ignored, harmed or destroyed, often with the best of intentions. The process continues. A little more than a year ago, Middlesex County's Cultural and Heritage Commission hired Heritage Studies of Princeton, a consulting firm in architectural history and historical preservation, to survey the county for buildings that might be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Working on tips from local historians, the Heritage Studies staff has photographed almost 2,000 buildings since the study began. But in Perth Amboy alone, three downtown buildings have been damaged since they were catalogued, their 19th-century fronts torn down to make way for modern facades, according to William See CITIES, page B23 UNDERSTANDING PAYS DIVIDENDS PART Horsemen gamble with insurance costs This is one of a continuing series of stories on the Intricacies of insurance which will be appearing each week In The Sunday Home News.

"People tend to insure horses of value," explained Rebecca Wassen of the Clay Ward Insurance Lexington, an agency that insures some members of the syndicate that owns the great thoroughbred Secretariat.

Jim Friess, controller of the Clariborne Farms in Lexington, where Secretariat and 25 other throughbred stallions stand at stud, explained that most of the stallions are syndicated: that is, several people buy shares in the ownership of the horse.

Story and photo on page A2. By ROD HIRSCH -Home News staff writer A bucket of oats, a bale of hay, a trough of water, mud-caked boots, the clang of a blacksmith's anvil these are the trappings of New Jersey's horse industry, a business that like most others, bows to the odds and protects itself with high-priced insurance policies. However, unlike businessmen in other fields, there are horsemen willing to gamble their livelihoods against the odds, citing high costs as their reason for not insuring their horse(s) or stable.

The quiet countrysides of Somerset, Monmouth, Middlesex, Hunterdon, Mercer and Warren counties are home to the majority of the estimated 75,000 horses stabled in New Jersey, accord-' ing to the state Department of Agriculture. There are racehorses, show horses, and saddle horses, each bred for different purposes and each insured accordingly. Racehorse owners, breeders and trainers are concerned primarily with mortality insurance, loosely described as life insurance for a horse by Peter Rhulen of the Rhulen Agency in Monti-cello, N.Y., the largest insurer of racehorses in North America. The other large segment of New Jersey's horse industry, the private owner and the riding academy and public stable owner, is interested in liability insurance, coverage that will THANKSGIVING Gift. Cardt, Candy at Family RX Gift Shop, Mllltown Friess said it is the decision of each individual shareholder whether to insure his share of the horse.

But there are exceptions. The giant Clydesdales, used by the Anheuser-Busch brewery of St. Louis in its advertising campaign, are not insured, according to Bill Meyer, manager of the brewery's Clydesdales program. "You can't put a price on the time and training we put into these animals," he explained. But there's another reason why there's no insurance on the powerful, white-maned animals.

An extensive breeding program, begun in 1933 when the brewery first started using the animals, guarantees a complete back-up team of horses, Meyer said. New Jersey has its share of sho-whorses, too, and along with quarter-horses, Palominos, Appaloosas, Arabians, saddle horses, horses bred for hunting, Shetlands, Morgans and Pin-tos, there are 60,000 in the state. However, it is the 15.000 stan-dardbred and thoroughbred racehorses that have helped New Jersey gain respect nationally, so that today, it is ranked with New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio, Kentucky, Florida and California as a prominent training and breeding state.
