Rutgers experienced a lot of trouble getting its offense moving against the Wildcats' defense in the first half. The Scarlet didn't get a first down until the final minute of the first period. By that time, Kentucky owned a 7-0 lead as the Wildcats cashed in the first time they had the ball.

The Wilcats crossed up the Rutgers defense by using running back George Adams in the slot on some early plays. Sophomore quarterback Bill Ransdell completed four passes in the 10-play, 59-yard drive, the last of 17 yards to Adams for tlie-touchdown. Rutgers didn't get into Kentucky territory until Will Dunster recovered a fumbled punt by the Cats' Brian Wlliams. The Knights still couldn't get a first down, but got good field position as Gary Liska's punt was downed at the Wildcat one yard line. After Kentucky punted back four downs later, Rutgers had the ball at the Wildcat 45 and launched a 12-play drive that resulted in a tying touchdown.

After the teams again exchanged punts, Kentucky took over at its 39 and drove to the Rutgers 29 in five plays. From there, Higgs got his first carry of the half, taking a pitchout from Dooley around the left side where he eluded a couple of tacklers and went the distance for a go-ahead touchdown. Quarterback Bill Ransdell's pass for a two-point conversion failed, but the 'Cats were in front to stay, 19-14.

Higgs' second touchdown came with dramatic suddenness early in the fourth period. With UK in sec-ond-and-six situation at its 24, Higgs, a 5-9, 185-pound speedster, broke off the right corner, cut back and faked a couple of would-be tacklers to complete a 76-yard scoring run. Higgs, who is Kentucky's all-time scholastic rushing leader with 6,721 yards and 75 touchdowns at Ownes-boro High School, carried the ball only four times and gained 116 yards. The Wildcats' two first half touchdowns were both scored by George Adams, the man Rutgers it figured it had to stop. Adams gained 144 yards on 28 carries.

Rutgers made one last bid to score in the game, driving from its 4 to the Kentucky five on the passing of Hochberg before the drive fizzled and Kentucky took over on downs with only 2:20 remaining to play. By JOHN BRUNS News sports writer LEXINGTON, Ky. Two scintillating touchdown runs by freshman Mark Higgs in the second half ended three-game Rutgers winning -streak and dashed the Scarlet's hopes of climbing into college football's Top 20. Higgs' touchdown bursts of 29 and 76 yards wiped out a 14-13 Rutgers halftime lead and gave undefeated Kentucky (4-0) a 27-14 victory before a record Homecoming crowd of 58,010 last night in Commonwealth Stadium.

The unbeaten Wildcats defeated the Scarlet Knights to gain their fourth victory of the season. Garvey's HR in 9th answers Padres' prayers SAN DIEGO (AP) Steve Garvey drove in five runs, two with a first playoff of their 16 years as a franchise. Game 5 of this series will pit Game 1 starters Rick Sutcliffe of Chicago and Eric Show of San Diego against one another to decide the National League pennant. The Cubs last won the National League pennant in 1945, so both of these teams knew depravation. This night, however, belonged to the Padres.

With one out, Tony Gwynn started the winning rally with a single up the middle off Lee Smith. Smith threw one ball to Garvey before the veteran first baseman lined a pitch into the right-center field bleachers for the winning runs. The game once again was played with substitute umpires officiating, but there were no controversial calls of any consequence. Some questionable baserunning by Larry Bowa took the Cubs out of their first scoring opportunity in the third inning. Bowa led off with the first hit off Lollar, a double down the left-field line.

After Cubs starter Scott Sanderson bunted foul for a third strike, Bob Dernier came to bat. Dernier hit a two-hopper to Padres shortstop Garry Templeton, and Bowa tried to advance to third. Templeton fielded the ball, spun and threw to Nettles at third, easily getting Bowa, and Ryne Sandberg lined to center to end the inning. And it was Templeton, who helped get San Diego started in the bottom half of the inning. Templeton led off the inning with a soft blooper into shallow center.

Dernier, misjudging the ball, took a step back before charging, and the ball fell in off the tip of his glove. Templeton then stole second as San Diego starter Tim Lollar struck out, but he held at third when Alan Wiggins singled sharply to center, despite the fact that Dernier bobbled the ball. Gwynn, who led the NL with a .351 average, drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly to left field, and Wiggins scored all the way from first on Garvey's double down the left-field line. The Padres, cheered at every move by the unlaid-back Southern California crowd, led 2-0, and, for the first time in this series, had the early advantage. It did not last even one inning.

Lollar, who led the club allowing 105 walks during the season, walked Gary Matthews to lead off the fourth inning. Lollar got two outs Keith Moreland on a fly to center and Ron Cey on a pop to short before lightning struck. Davis, who had 19 homers during the season, drove a 2-2 pitch from Lollar into the left-field seats, about five feet inside the foul pole, and the score was tied 2-2. Lollar threw two pitches one ball and one strike to Durham before he homered on a line to right field. It was the eighth time in league playoff history that consecutive homers had been hit four times in each league.

ninth-inning home run, and the San Diego Padres clawed their way to a 7-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs last night, evening the National League Champioship Series at two games apiece in an unprecedented comeback. After falling behind 0-2 in the best-of-five series in Chicago, the Padres now have won two straight at home. V-. Not only has no team in the National League rebounded to win an NLCS after losing the first two games, none had even sent the playoffs into a fifth game. Game 5 of this series is scheduled for this afternoon, with the winner headed for a World Series showdown Tuesday night with the American League champion Detroit Tigers, who swept Kansas City in their playoff.

Garvey now has a major-league 20 playoff RBI. He passed teammate Graig Nettles and Reggie Jackson of the California Angels, who have 18 each. Garvey's first RBI capped a two-run third inning that gave the Padres' the early lead. The Cubs then took the lead with consecutive homers by Jody Davis, a two-run shot, and Leon Durham in the fourth inning. That made it 3-2, Chicago.

But Garvey's RBI-single in the fifth tied the score, and he drove in a run with a single in the seventh as San Diego scored twice to make it 5-3. The Cubs, however, tied it with two runs in the eighth off ref ief ace Rich Gossage, and that left it for Garvey to keep the Padres alive in the 1. -it Brown's Potkul 'too big' for Princeton to handle 251 yards with no interceptions. His counterpart, Doug Butler, hit on 24 of 48 for 393 yards, two of them for TDs, but threw four interceptions. Both teams combined for nearly 1,000 total yards 491 for Princeton, 484 for Brown but the Bruins were far more effective on the ground (233 to 98) while presenting a much better-balanced offense.

"I felt our offense had to do the job against Princeton and I was very happy the way we played offensively," said Rosenberg. Princeton coach Frank Navarro said, "We got started too late with too little. Our defense did not tackle or pursue, particularly in the beginning of the game. I didn't feel it was one of our better games as far as See BROWN, Page D3 By KEN O'BRIEN Home News sports writer PRINCETON Jamie Potkul, regarded as too small to play football for Princeton, was too big yesterday for the Tigers to handle. The 5-foot, 10-inch, 170-pound junior tailback from Green Brook rambled for 138 yards on 28 carries and returned four kickoffs for 100 yards while emerging as a key figure in Brown's 32-30 upset of Princeton which lost for the first time in three games.

"This was one of my better games," smiled the 1981 Home News Somerset All-County player, "This was the first time I've played this close to home since I've been at Brown and my entire family and most of my friends were here and that gave me some extra drive." Playing here in Princeton helped provide some of that drive, too. "I came here on a recruiting trip while I was still in high school," Potkul recalled, "but the indication I got was that I was too small." Yesterday, he stood too tall in the eyes of the Tigers as he helped Brown retain a share of the Ivy League lead with a 2-0 record and 2-1 overall as Princeton dropped to 1-1 in the league and 2-1 overall. "Essentially," said first-year Bruin coach John Rosenberg, "this was Jamie's first start. We wanted to feature him in this game because we wanted to get more speed in the backfield against Princeton Potkul gave him exactly what he wanted. Junior quarterback Steve Kettel-berger also played a big hand in the victory, throwing for two touchdowns while completing 17 of 30 for nA PARCELLS' TEAM UNBEATEN AT HOME Giants to host 5-0 Niners safeties (two of them blocked punts in the end zone) and the suddenly-errant toe of Ali Haji-Sheikh (two missed extra points, one missed field goal), not to mention the deplorable running attack that netted a mere eight (8) yards in the entire game.

Those three safeties are a National Football League record for a single game and the Giants managed to yield all three in the same quarter. But out of that ruin emerged quarterback Phi! Simms whose 24-of-48 for 276 yardi and one TD with no interceptions would have been considerably better had it not been for six dropped passes, holding penalties on completions and blown assignments on five sacks. "I thought Phil threw the ball extremely well," said Parcells. "He hung in there tough all the way, despite the adversity, and I admired his courage all the way. He took a lot of hits." But Simms, who ranks fourth among the 14 National Football Conference's quarterbacks with a 94.0 rating, isn't concerned about individual stats.

"None of that really concerns me," Simms said. "I'm not looking to prove anything. I just want to be part of a winner. I was throwing the ball pretty well last week but not See SIMMS, Page 03 By KEN O'BRIEN Home News sports writer EAST RUTHERFORD The good news is that the Giants play at home tomorrow night where they are undefeated in three games. The bad news is that they play the San Francisco 49ers who are undefeated everywhere in five games.
