15 47-172 "I guess they moved but never crossed the line of scrimmage," he said. "1 guess well they called it against us." Asked if he thought the films of the game would prove the call incorrect, MacPherson snapped, "It doesn't matter what the films say. They won." Naviaux, who sat calmly accepting congratulations and answering questions, might have had the best answer, for what happened at the end. "Somebodv up there liked us today," he said. Rick Mason and Russ Clarke led the Connecticut rushing attack with 51 yards each and Palmer passed 18 times and completed seven 5 for 104 yards and a TD.J MacLellan nabbed four for 69 yards.

Three Mass. quarterbacks threw 15 times, and con The drama of the ending began when UConn's John Lis got off his only poor punt of the day, giving UMass the ball on the Connecticut 40 with 3:57 to play. Tripuka, keeping the ball himself five times, and handing off to Torrance seven, ate up the time and had picked up three first downs by the time time was called with :05 to go. UMass had tried twice to score from the three through the middle, but had been stacked up both times by a Connecticut defense that was rock-hard. Then the field goal team came on the field with time enough left for one play.

UMass coach Dick Mac-Pherson, sitting dejectedly with his shoes off in the locker room, did not'dispute the officials' call in words but obviously found it difficult to.aecept.

Connecticut, which had not scored in the third period in any game this season, made its most memorable points of the year in the first 5:33 of that stanza Saturday. The rugged Thompson hit Bill Coleman with an explosive tackle and Jim Bree recovered the resultant fumble for UConn on the Mass.

24. Three plays later Sinay, who missed five previous tries this season, pumped his field goal just over the bar from 35 yards away and it was 9-3. "I went out there just knowing I could do it," revealed Sinay. "I've been practicing hard for two weeks I didn't get into the game last week. I knew it was over when I kicked it." Thompson intercepted a Mark Tripuka pass only two plays after the field goal and gave the UConns the ball again on the Massachusetts 33.

Then quarterback-Bernie Palmer, who went all the way, lofted a pass toward Al MacLellan, the Huskies' most respected receiver, in the end zone and MacLellan soared high above defender Les Brown and clutched it for the touchdown.

McLaughlin, a six-foot, 185-pound senior, connected on 22 of 36 pass attempts, good for 325 yards and two TDs. McLaughlin also scored on a 10-yard run in the waning moments and was on the passing end of a pair of two-point conversions.

"We're not going to play anybody who throws the ball like him." stated a relieved Loika. The Central mentor was also pleased with the defensive effort against the Profs' running back Robbie Reid, a transfer from Morgan State. Reid, who rushed for over 1,300 yards last season, was held to 62 yards on 19 carries and only one touchdown. The leading rusher in the fame was Central halfback lark St. Germain with 112 yards on 15 carries.

St. Germain scored a pair of touchdowns in the wild first half and had a third called back Amherst increased its series lead over Wesleyan to 40-31-9. The setback dropped Wesleyan to 2-4 on the season. SCORING Amherst Wesleyan 7 7 7 3-17 0- 7 Scoring-Amh Brian run (Strassburg kick). Marsh kick).

Driscoll started down the line, cut through tackle and then went against the defensive grain for a pretty touchdown run. Again, Strassenburg added the point. Wesleyan never got inside the Amherst 40 after that while Strassenburg added the final three points in the fourth period with a 29-yard field goal.

St. Germain ran six yards behind a good block by Campanello for another score but the kick was wide leaving the Blue Devils trailing, 22-21. Glassboro picked up two more points after a 63-yard punt by Greg Francis put Central on its own two. A pitchout was fumbled out of the end zone for a Glassboro safety making the score 24-21. Central moved 80 yards in only six plays near the end of the first half with O'Brien going over from the two giving the home club a 28-24 lead.

Glassboro's Dom An-tonini booted a 33-yard field goal with six seconds left to make it 28-27 at the half. After the Spittel-to-Gia-quinto dazzler at the start of the third period, both teams played a much tougher defense. Antonini connected on a 48-yard field goal with 14 seconds left in the period to make it 34-30. O'Brien made it 41-30 for Central with 10:26 remaining on a one-yard run and then the defense, took over.

(UPI) -Halfback Rich Remondino scored on a 74-yard first period run and quarterback Paul Ryan tallied on a 14 yard sweep around the right side in the second period Saturday to lead Rhode Island to a 13-7 Yankee Conference victory over Boston University. Remondino, who had 140 yards in only 12 carries, bolted through the middle of the Terrier line with only 11:37 gone in the game to give Rhode Island a 6-0 lead.
