By Ken Murray Evening Sun Staff WASHINGTON For three quarters, Kelvin Bryant was a reluctant running back. But when reluctance gave way to necessity in the fourth quarter, Bryant became a game-breaker. "I looked at Kelvin two different limes and asked if he could run the ball on first down," coach Joe Gibbs said after his Redskins squeezed past the New York Jets, 17-16, at RFK Stadium yesterday. "He said, 'No, my hamstring doesn't feel too But then it comes down the stretch and he makes the big plays." Nursing a tight right hamstring, Bryant declined the first start of his two-year Redskin career.

In the end, it was his pass receiving that helped the post-strike Skins (5-1) stake a two-game lead in the NFC East. Bryant caught four passes for 67 yards, including three during a fourth-quarter touchdown drive. A 39-yard catch-and-run set up his 2-yard touchdown reception with 5:55 left in the game. "During warmups, I didn't feel I could go in and run the ball," Bryant said. "I didn't want to pull the hamstring." By the fourth quarter, with the Redskins trailing 16-7, Bryant went in with the passing offense.

"There was no conversation with Gibbs," he said. "It was just go in. We had to pass the ball. It his leg didn't bother me because I wasn't running full speed." "When the game's on the line, he's a competitor," quarterback Jay Schroeder said of Bryant. "He got all pumped up and came in and made a couple of big plays." On the Skins' game-winning drive, Bryant ran the ball three times for 17 yards, putting Ali Haji-Sheikh in position for a 28-yard field goal.

With George Rogers limited by a sore big toe, and Bryant nagged by his hamstring, Keith Griffin started at running back for the Skins. He gained 79 yards on 20 carries. ft SpLkewiMM -J INTERMEDIATE Are you an adult with too much exper ience for a beginner league, but not enough for an advanced league?

J'Even when he was young, the Pedskins' 14th-year tackle did not run up impressive numbers. Butz has always been sort of there, like the National Cathedral or Union Station.

He is usually so there that at feast two opposing linemen have to keep him there. While that is going fin, the Diron Talberts and Dexter Manleys of the Allen and Pardee and Gibbs administrations have been unleashed to plunder enemy backfields. Yesterday was different. For one IJhing, the returning Redskins seemed prodigal, determined to find a way to lose to a Jet team that is not their equal. With less than six ifiinutes remaining, the Skins' disorganized special teams had allowed tie Jets a 57-yard kickoff return.

When Ken (18-for-27) O'Brien hit Johnny Hector for a first down at the Washington 33, it appeared New York would extend its 16-14 lead and Jock the game. In such a situation, as Butz put it after the 17-16 victory, "you've got to have some people come through." Butz did not seem a likely hero. The people at Arlington (Va.) Hospital had to take the intravenous needle out of his left wrist at 9:30 a.m. just to get him to the stadium on 'time. i A He had checked himself in 12 'hours earlier, when he drank a glass of water and it didn't stay down.

The intestinal virus had begun bothering him for more than a week, Butz said. But now it was acute. He had lost six quarters, or four 'pounds, of body fluids, Butz said. j'They gave me 500 ccs," he said. "They called it a No.

16 needle, and that's a beeeg needle," he said, spreading his massive fingers to illustrate. So there wasn't so much there when Butz suited up yesterday morning. The official report, that he "had fallen away to 292 pounds, was understated, Butz said. "I did get a little dizzy a couple of times in the second half," he said. "But I didn't realize how bad I was until I got on the scale.

I was down tO'287 pounds. From 313. "It was," Butz said, "the first S' Itui $600 GASH REBATES 770 WARRANTY money," Butz said. Then, after a 45-yard punt return put the Jets on Washington's 11, the capacity crowd went schizophrenic. It began to stomp, with the sympathetic vibrations that have threatened to crumble the 26-year-old stadium since it was new.

Generally, this has been a go-go encouragement when the home team was in position to score. On the second play of the final quarter, with the Jets leading 13-7 and the ball on the Skins' 10, a Schroeder pass tipped Bryant's fingers. "We want scabs," a chant seemed to say. Two plays later, when the Jets fumbled a punt return and the Skins didn't recover, the chant was articulate: "We want scabs!" It came again when Schroeder threw a pass away, and a crescendo of boos followed when a pass was intercepted. "They didn't want to get rid of us," pragmatic center Russ Grimm explained after the game.

"They were just fed up with the way we were playing. Hell, we were fed up with the way we were playing." JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY time in 15 years that I've weighed under 300." Still, somebody had to come through. So when O'Brien dropped back to pass again, Butz nailed him. The whole nine yards made it sec-ond-and-19. The Jets, whatever their methodology might have been, were obliged to throw again.

Butz came through again, literally. He didn't get another sack, but O'Brien had to unload and the pass fell incomplete. Mel Kaufman and Rich Milot (the Skins' linebackers were efficient all afternoon) broke up the third-down play. The Redskins got the ball back and won with it. In Butz's locker was the shaving kit he would carry back to Arlington Hospital, "to get another 500 ccs." There were also two cans of Sprite, for the road, and a new football.

It is customary, after even such a marginal victory as yesterday's, to pass out "game balls" as trophies to the outstanding contributors. "That's the only one today," said Neal Olke-wicz, the player representative. Butz said he heard the boos, which began in the seventh minute of the third quarter, when two of Jay Schroeder's passes went off Art Monk's finger tips and a third off Kelvin Bryant's. "They pay their 3 CREDIT IS GOOD AT ALL Haji-Sheikh figures he earned his keep with his game-winner with 54 seconds left. "It makes me feel like I'm not just along for the ride," the Redskin placekicker said.

"It's good to show the team when it comes down to pressure situations, you can do it." Haji-Sheikh, signed before the strike when Jess Atkinson dislocated his left ankle, missed a 40-yarder in the third quarter. He also missed a 33-yarder in Atlanta in Week 2.

3636 $9,990 '88 DODGE D-50 PICK-UP Al PRICE r- "Short throws and big runs" was the way Schroeder described the sequence that cut the Jets' lead to 16-14 with 5:55 left. The Redskin defense in general and tackle Dave Butz in particular did their part to set up the winning drive. After a 57-yard kick-off return by JoJo Townsell put the Skins in jeopardy, the flu-weakened Butz took them out with a critical sack, Washington's seventh of the game. With 3:32 left, the Skins got the ball back on their own 21. There was an 11-yard pass to Clark, who had scored on a 20-yarder in the first half.

And there was a 39-yard heave to Ricky Sanders when the Jets double-teamed Monk down the middle. At the Jet 29, Gibbs opted to play it safe. He called four straight runs to set up Haji-Sheikh, a Redskin for all of two games now. "You're always torn about whether to go for the field goal or the touchdown," Gibbs said. "We took a good shot at scoring on Jay's rollout on second down, but he tripped.

I really didn't want to take a chance of putting the ball up." Haji-Sheikh's kick was true and Gibbs' strategy went uncontested. The next step is getting the fans to forget the strike. "It may take a few more games," Schroeder said. "But winning takes care of everything." SKINS, From Dl did the unthinkable. Right after Schroeder under-threw a wide-open Gary Clark deep, the crowd chanted, "We want the scabs, we want the scabs.

"I expected the crowd to boo before we got on the field," Schroeder said. The Redskins' replacement team had given the regulars a tough act to follow, going 3-0 during the strike. This, however, was more than the regulars bargained for. have a right to boo," center Russ Grimm said. "We've been bpoed here before.

But bring back the scabs kind of hit home a little bit. Everybody said we better win tHis thing or it'll be a rough week." If there was a turning point, Gibbs decided the fans made it. "Everybody was waiting to see hew the players played," Gibbs said. happened in the fourth quarter, the fans sensed we needed them. They deserve a large part of the credit for getting us going in the fourth quarter." was left to Schroeder to carry out the assignment.

When the offensive fog finally lifted, it took him four passes three to Bryant to get. the Redskins into the end zone. A 39-yard pass-and-run to Bryant set up the 61-yard drive. A two-yard toss to Bryant finished it off. ONLY 99.76 Per Month OVER 15 IN STOCK '99 DN.

"You could see the frustrations building," said Ebright. "At one point, Dean DeFazio was thrown out because he launched an attack On a Binghamton player who appeared to have nude a dangerous run at Alain Lemieux. "The thing about this situation is that we don't need an entire revamping of the team. It's just that some help in key spots could turn the whole thing around the same spots that we were told would be taken care of when we set out to save this franchise." The Jacks hope to end the 0-7 streak Wednesday night (7:30) when they host the Moncton Hawks at the Arena. 1 JACKS, From Dl bench a better chance to develop their skills.

"An example of what I'll be talking about is the case of Ian Armstrong. Ian was an extra defenseman with Hershey, but when we asked the parent Philadelphia Flyers to use him in Baltimore they agreed, and it should benefit everyone. "At present, there is an AHL rule which states a player on loan cannot be returned to the same team during the same season, but I'm going to ask officials to waive this rule. I can understand why teams would hesitate letting a player out of their system for the entire season." The Jacks' 10-1 loss in Binghamton Saturday night was the most embarrassing of all.
