"We're not going to win it by winning one and losing one.

We've got to get a couple of well-pitched ballgames and get runs like we're capable of scoring.

The network reportedly was the vFox Broadcasting although NFL management and an 'owner said the games would be "illegal. All this came amid charges that 'l management was using the issue )of free agency to cover up a union-' breaking scheme. Three days of negotiations ended Friday in Phil- adelphia with no further talks scheduled as the strike continues. John Jones, a spokesman for the f- NFL Management Council, said it didn't appear the two sides could meet again before Thursday.

Jason clicked on 14-of-26 passes for 208 yards while Judd, a sophomore halfback, galloped for 101 yards on 17 carries. Judd and John, a senior wide receiver, grabbed four passes apiece from their brother as the trio proved no match for the Wildcats, who suffered their 15lh consecutive loss and the fourth this season. Princeton rolled up 524 yards 316 on the ground while holding Davidson to a mere 179. The Wildcats did not score until the final 2:49 when backup quarterback Mark Skoczynski went across from the 2 on a keeper, capping a drive in which Skoczynski passed to tailback Lee Wagner for 32 yards, the longest play of the season for Davidson. By that time, however, Tosches already had freely substituted his troops.

The longest play of the game, in fact, was by a Princeton sub junior Kris Keys, who rambled 88 yards for the final touchdown by the Tigers. "He just slanted through the See TIGERS, Paged 2 pretty much set" until the end of much for us. When we had his receivers covered he would scramble away and then find someone open 6r run the ball." Winning coach Gary Reiter was equally as impressed with his star. "He played with a lot of poise and is a very unselfish ballplayer. If you send in a running play, he'll run the ball without complaint.

He's a winner," Reiter said. The 64, 205-pound senior didn't waste any time, moving his club 51 yards in 10 plays to get on the board with 5:22 left in the first period.

If Osborne's theory holds true, the lopsided win could be the spark that moves Edison into contention in the CMC Red Division championship race, even though the game was a crossover and didn't count in the conference standings.

It was a solid performance by all the Eagles, but the guy that stood out above the rest was Mike Boslet He played like the third-year veteran he is and it was the difference. He passed and ran with equal skill, scoring twice and passing for one. "Mike Boslet played an outstanding game and that might be an understatement," said Kennedy coach Bob Lanigan. "He was too By GENE HALEY Home News sports writer WOODBRIDGE Ron Osborne, the veteran coach and now athletic director at J.F. Kennedy High School, was saying near the end of yesterday's Kennedy-Edison game how each year a team has to develop its own personality.

He went on to say how the opening game sometimes goes a long way in developing that personality and cited last season, when Kennedy beat Edison 14-6 to lay the groundwork for the Mustangs to go on an enjoy a 8-2 season and a place in the playoffs. Osborne also mentioned that the game seemed to take the steam out of the Eagles and they never really recovered in going 3-6. It will the week, Jones said. When NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle called off this weekend's game, he waited until last Thurs- day before making the announcement. By that time, it had become clear that it was too late to save the weekend's schedule.
