The Sioux City Journal, Sunday, October 9, 1 988 3 MMPfl 1 yWflllfiLUi.i4Rl Columbia streak ends at 44 losses Less just before halftime. But Pollard missed the extra point and Princeton held a 10-9 lead at the half. After Lutz's second field goal, a 27-yarder at 5:44 of the fourth quarter, Columbia ran into a third-and-one situation at the Princeton 31 before Mayhew gained seven yards on a bootleg to the left. Abbruzzese then carried for gains of 8, 5 and 9 yards to give the Lions a second-and-goal at the Princeton 2. Johnson surged over right guard for the touchdown.

The game was far from over, however, and in fact looked like loss No. 45 in a row when Princeton came back to score on Judd Garrett's 22-yard run. But the touchdown was nullifed by a clipping penalty. After an exchange of punts, Princeton had a last chance to tie, but Lutz's 48-yard field goal attempt on the final play was short. Fans unused to celebrating stormed onto the field and tore down both sets of goal posts.

Columbia, which had lost 33 straight Ivy League games, is 1-2 in the conference, while Princeton is 2-1. NEW YORK (AP) Columbia snapped college football's longest losing streak at 44 games on Saturday, riding Solomon Johnson's 2-yard scoring run with 5 13 to play to a 16-13 victory over Princeton. Greg Abbruzzese rushed for 182 yards as Columbia won for the first time in 47 games, since a 21-18 defeat of Yale on Oct. 15, 1983. Since that game, Columbia had averted defeat only by tying Bucknell and Dartmouth later in 1983.

Johnson's touchdown run capped a 53-yard drive after Princeton, 2-2, had taken a 13-9 lead on a Chris Lutz field goal. Princeton led 10-0 midway through the second quarter. Lutz kicked a 31-yard field goal in the first quarter and Kris Keys sprinted three yards around left end for a second-quarter touchdown. Matt Pollard's 33-yard field goal cut the Princeton lead to 10-3 and the Lions, 1-3, then had a chance to tie it after Bruce Mayhew's 9-yard pass to tight end Matt I Cjt-i' y5v "'1 y--'-i Darling's wildness helps Dodgers from page D2 ed the opportunity to come back with his ace right-hander on three days rest and give Tudor another day to recover from spasms in his right hip. During the season, Hershiser was 3-1 with a 2.17 earned-run average on three days rest, including two shutouts.

Hershiser took a 3-1 lead and a two-hitter into the sixth when the Mets scored two runs on four hits. Hernandez led off the Mets seventh with a single and Strawberry followed with an opposite-field single to left field that Gibson mishandled on the wet turf. Hernandez was on his way to third when he fell and was thrown out as he crawled toward the bag. Strawberry moved to second on the play and McReynolds reached on third baseman Jeff Hamilton's throwing error that was juggled at first by Mickey Hatcher. After Johnson forced McReynolds at second, Gary Carter's ground single to right scored Strawberry and sent Johnson to third.

Backman followed with a grounder that deflected off Hatcher's glove toward second, allowing Johnson to score. In the first game of the series, Hershiser blanked the Mets for eight innings before New York rallied for three runs in the ninth and a dramatic 3-2 victory. The Dodgers took advantage of Ron Darling's wildness in the second inning of Game 3 to score two runs. Darling, 14-1 at home during the season, had two-strike counts on both Mike Marshall and John Shelby before walking each to open the second. Scioscia dropped a bunt between the mound and the first-base line and Hernandez's backhand flip eluded Backman covering first, allowing Marshall to score and Shelby to advance to third.

Scioscia was given credit for a single and Hernandez, a 10-time Gold Glove winner, was charged with an error for allowing the run to score. SkL A struck out the first two batters in the Dodgers eighth and appeared to have ended tlje inning when Mike Sciosia hit a grounder back to the mound. While making his throw to first, McDowell slipped on the wet turf and his throw was wild, allowing Sciosia to move to second. Jose Gonzalez ran for Sciosia and the Dodgers loaded the bases with a single and a walk. Danny Heep was sent up to pinch-hit for Hershiser, but when the Mets went to the bullpen to bring in Randy Myers, Mike Sharperson replaced Heep.

Sharperson walked on a 3-2 pitch to force in a run. Sharperson had walked one time in 64 plate appearances this season. Hershiser pitched seven innings and allowed six hits.

(AP) -Nebraska's immediate goal against Kansas, said Husker quarterback Steve Taylor, was a quick getaway." In that, they were a huge success. The ninth-ranked Huskers scored the first six times they touched the ball and rolled to a 63-10 conquest of the winless Jayhawks. "We've been getting off to a slow start in the past and we didn't want to do that this time," said Taylor, who ran for two touchdowns and passed for a third. "We were pretty proud of ourselves," Taylor added. "We had better concentration than we've had for a while." Nebraska, 5-1, mounted a 49-10 lead at halftime despite giving up their longest scoring play in 12 years.

"I was generally pleased with our performance," said Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne. "I think Kansas played hard. Their offense is probably comparable to Kansas offenses we've seen in the past. Their defense is probably as bad as any we have played against. That's due to injuries and people quitting." It was the most lopsided loss in Kansas Coach Glen Mason's career.

"I've got mixed emotions about the outcome, but when you take into account the number of true freshmen who went out and played their hearts out, I was pleased with the effort," Mason said." Kansas, outscored 124-2 in its two previous meetings with Nebraska, scored on a 50-yard field goal from Brad Fleeman and an 89-yard pass-run from Kelly Donohoe to Willie Vaughn, the third-longest pass play in Kansas history. But there was never any doubt as to the outcome. Nebraska rolled up 33 yards in six plays with its first possession, with Taylor diving across from the 1-yard line. Taylor's 22-yard pass to Todd Millikan capped a 7-play, 97-yard drive a few moments later, then Tyreese Knox made it 21-0 with a four-yard run with 3:28 left in the quarter. Morgan Gregory fielded a Kansas punt late in the first period, broke two tackles and sailed 64 yards into the end zone.

Nebraska needed only four plays to soar 65 yards and go up 35-0, with Lance Lewis bulling into the end zone from five yards out. Bryan Carpenter scored the Huskers' sixth touchdown when he burst through a big hole at the line and sped 31 yards. Fleeman's field goal hit the cross bar and bounced almost straight up before falling over for three points. That made it 35-3, and the Huskers immediately answered with Carpenter's touchdown. But a few seconds later, Donohoe on first down stepped into the pocket and hit Vaughn streaking down the right sideline.

Defensive back Bruce Pickens trailed Vaughn down field, one step behind. It was the longest scoring play Nebraska had yielded since Missouri's Joe Stewart went 98 yards in 1976.

A Spencer win over Spirit Lake would clinch at least a tie for the conference championship for the Tigers. At Holstein, Ida Grove, which had won its first five games, also lost co-leadership in the Maple Valley Conference race in the loss to Galva-Holstein.

Ida Grove faces another difficult assignment next Friday at once-beaten Battle CreekAnthon-Oto. Galva-Holstein faces Woodbury Central next Friday. No. l's won some and lost one in South Dakota prep action Friday night. Unbeaten conference leaders Platte, WakondaGayville-Volin, Flandreau, West Central and Pierre all remained perfect in loop play with victories.

WakondaGayville-Volin, No. 1 in Class 9-A, pushed its nine-man record to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the Tri-Valley Conference with a 48-30 whipping of Parker. Platte, coached by Morn-ingside graduate Tracy Hirt, went to' 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the Southeast South Dakota Conference, by walloping winless Scotland, 39-0. Platte is ranked No. 1 among South Dakota's Class 11-B squads.

Flandreau (5-0, 5-1) maintained its Big Sioux Conference leadership with a 32-8 sprint past Elk Point, while third-ranked Pierre upended second-ranked and previously unbeaten Rapid City Stevens 31-21 to go to 4-0 in the Eastern South Dakota and 6-0 overall. In the Big Eight, unbeatens West Central and Brandon Valley prepped for their showdown clash next Friday with wins. Brandon Valley escaped Madison's upset trap, 21-14, while West Central did pull off a major upset, knocking off Winner, 27-20. Winner entered the non-conference game with a 5-0 record and ranked No. 1 among South Dakota's Class 11-A teams.

West Central, ranked second, will likely go against fourth-ranked Brandon Valley as the new No. 1 in 11-A. West Central is 6-0 overall and 5-0 in the Big Eight. Brandon Valley is 5-1 overall and 4-1 in the conference. SEE WESTERNERS continued on page D6 The well-worn "agony and ecstasy" cliche in sports fit a pair of Siouxland prep football games perfectly Friday night.

At Holstein, Galva-Holstein, ranked second in The Journal's Siouxland Division II rankings, wore the ecstasy mantle after knocking off No. 1-ranked Ida Grove, 7-0. It was sheer agony, emotionally and physically, however, for a Sibley-Ocheyedan team that fell behind Spencer 41-0 early in the second quarter and then forfeited. It wasn't a Bob Knight-mentality that caused Sibley-Ocheyedan Coach Dan Mehlbrech to forfeit, but a deep concern for the welfare of his players. Sibley-Ocheyedan entered the contest against The Journal's third-ranked Siouxland Division I powerhouse with several players sidelined with injuries.

Then, two other key players 200-pound two-way lineman Glenn Greenfield and quarterback Dave Beving sustained injuries that sent them to the sidelines. "It was a terribly agonizing decision to make and I've thought about it about every 10 minutes all day long," said Mehlbrech Saturday night. "It was a decision of putting the health and safety of the kids ahead of the game and I'll always do that," added Mehlbrech. "We only suited up 18 or 19 kids for the game and that included all of our healthy sophomores on up," said Mehlbrech. "It was something that could have happened in any game this season and last year.

"I told the officials and Gary (Spencer Coach Gary Swenson) before the game that there was a possibility of something like this happening. "Right now, we plan on playing next week and the rest of the season. I hope to get some of our injured players back." The Generals were also playing without Tom Doeden, an outstanding pass receiver who drew some notice as a sophomore last season. Adding to the evening's misery was another unfortunate incident. Not only did the lights on the field go out early, but when the players from both teams got to the locker-rooms, the power had failed in the gymnasium in Sibley and the teams had to shower and dress in the dark "We had flashlights and lanterns in there all over the place.

It's a night I'll probably remember for a long time, but one I'd like to be able to forget right now," lamented Mehlbrech. "I'd like to say, too, that in no way did I think Coach Swenson was trying to run up the score. I know he was upset to end the game that way," Mehlbrech said. Spencer ran just eight plays from scrimmage in the abbreviated contest with the defense scoring two touchdowns and a punt return accounting for another Tiger touchdown. The game ended with 9:46 remaining in the first half.

Spencer, also Iowa's sixth-ranked Class 3A club, went to 6-0 overall with the victory and 5-0 in the Lakes Conference. Winless Sibley-Ocheyedan is 0-6 overall and 0-5 in the Lakes Conference. In picking up the triumph in bizarre fashion, Spencer set up a showdown with its closest technical pursuer for the Lakes Conference crown Spirit Lake next Friday in Spencer. Spirit Lake improved its Lakes mark to 4-1 and overall standard to 5-1 with a 27-12 victory over Storm Lake. Emmetsburg, ranked sixth in The Journal's Siouxland Division I rankings and third among Iowa's Class 2A teams, is also 4-1 in the Lakes and 5-1 overall.

However, Spencer has already clouted Emmetsburg (27-0). 011T 16" REGULAR PRICE LESS DISCOUNT 50.00) 028 Super Wood Boss 18" REGULAR PRICE LESS DISCOUNT 70.00) $199.95 $329.95 YOU PAY ONLY YOU PAY ONLY CHAIN SAWS THAT LAST.
