Askea wnat would be the best way to stop Zachery, Teevins shot back: "Kidnap him." Cozza apparently didn't them to settle for a field goal. On their next drive, they had a irst-and- 10 at the Yale 27 and ran three times for two yards, then missed on a 40-yard field-goal attempt.

Just before the half, the visitors got to the Yale 11 but had to settle for a field goal. "Offensively, when we had to come up with the big play we didn't," Teevens said. "That's the bottom line." Dartmouth didn't waste its first opportunity of the second half after taking over on Yale's 47 following a poor Elis punt. The 6-foot-4, 185-pound Johnson took care of the last 31 yards with a high-stepping dash into the end zone and Dartmouth led, 13-12. Yale established its dominance mark for the fourth straight game, during which he has gained 519 of his 624 yards.

He carried 26 times and had no minus yardage. Zachery's consistent effort and another steady defensive performance by the Elis completely overshadowed what was supposed to be one of the league's most potent passing attacks, featuring premier receiver Craig Morton. Dartmouth quarterback Mark Johnson completed 17 of 30 passes for 179 yards but no touchdowns. Morton, a senior split end with 4.3-second speed in the 40, caught five passes for 69 yards and was not a factor. "Their defense kind of removed Morton from the game," Dartmouth Coach Buddy Teevens said.

"If you noticed, there were two or three men around him most of the time." later in the third quarter, going on a 19-play drive that ate up 9 minutes, 27 seconds. It resulted in Scott Walton's third field goal, this one a 24-. yarder, to put the Elis back on top 15-13 with 11:58 left in the game. Dartmouth ran three plays and punted, sending the same tired defense quickly back onto the field. Zachery stuck on the first play, racing through three tackles 57 yards into the end zone to make it 22-13.

"It was a perfect hole," the 5-11, 186-pounder said. "There was some interference, but I shook that and then somebody came at me from I don't know where. I was running for my life. I kept my balance and then got in the clear. All I had to worry about was somebody catching me from behind, which would have been Yale's game plan, according to Coach Carm Cozza, was not to let Morton be a factor.

"We knew we had to take No. 25 Morton away or we would have no chance," Cozza said. "He's one of the finest receivers I've seen in many moons." Yale led 12-6 at the half, with each team connecting on a pair of field goals. Elis quarterback Darin Kehler got the other score on a 36-yard scramble on what was supposed to be a passing play. Dartmouth, which threw 53 times a week ago in a losing effort against Cornell, was determined to establish a running game, putting the ball in the air only 11 times in the first half.

The Big Green (2-5, 1-3) got to Yale's 2-yard line on the first play of the second quarter but a penalty forced By GEORGE SMITH Courant Staff Writer NEW HAVEN It has taken Buddy Zachery longer than expected, but the former East Catholic star is finally enjoying life as a running back at Yale, with only three games left in his college career. Zachery, who spent his sophomore year as a defensive back and last year on the bench with a congenital spinal problem, rushed for a career-high 174 yards Saturday, including a back-breaking 57-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, to lead the Elis to a 22-13 victory over Dartmouth at the Bowl. Yale (2-4-1, 2-1-1 in the Ivy) is in third place in the league. League leader Penn is 7-0, 5-0. Zachery surpassed the 100-yard Cadets Zachery had 174 yards when he re- moved him late in the game to a nice SI round of applause from the crowd of 17,351.

"I don't know what he had today. He must have gone over 100 again," Cozza said in his postgame remarks. "He had 174? Wow. I guess he had a very good day."

QB Glover keeps Penn undefeated Associated Press surprise Bantams By TOM YANTZ Courant Staff Writer Thirty-three times Scott Huerter ran the football Saturday at Jessee Field in Hartford. Thirty-three times he bulled for yards with two, three or more defenders trying to wrestle him down. They never did. Huerter symbolized the Coast Guard team strong, resolved and in the end, triumphant. Huerter ran for 173 yards, including 13 for the winning touchdown with 5 minutes, 12 seconds left in the game, and caught one pass for 51 yards, to lead Coast Guard past Trinity, 28-27.

The victory keeps Coast Guard (7-1) in contention for an NCAA or ECAC Division III playoff berth. Trinity, which led 27-12 in the third quarter, is 4-1-1. "I just kept running, but I'm just an extension of our offensive line," said the 225-pound Huerter. "Myself and everyone else we were not going to lose this game." Coast Guard looked to have plenty of reasons to lose, but it persevered. It had many key injuries: starting quarterback Ty Rinoski did not play because of a sprained ankle, halfback Dan Kenny missed the final 2 quarters with a bad ankle, linebacker Mike Monago was out for the final three quarters with a strained left knee, and strong safety and defensive signal caller Tom Miller was missing for more than a half with a sore hip.

"We showed a lot right here," Coast Guard linebacker Ryan Eck-holm said, pointing to his heart. "Walter Green comes in and runs for a touchdown 2 yards in the final quarter, linebacker Gary Tomasulo and safety Andy Bruzdzinski come in 0 to bring down Trinity's Darren Toth. Coast Guard scored the final 16 Penn quarterback Malcolm Glov- er threw for 289 yards and twov" touchdowns Saturday to lead the un- defeated Quakers to a 31-23 victory over Princeton in Princeton, N.J. Trailing 7-3 after the first quarter, Penn intercepted a Jason Garrett tool pass and took advantage of a rough- 1 2 ing the kicker penalty to set up a 31-yard TD pass from Glover to tight 11 end Dolph Tokarczyk. It was Gar-rett's first interception in 179 at-y tempts this season.

Princeton then tied the score with a 32-yard Chris Lutz field goal. Penn -V scored again in the final minutes of the first half as Glover threw a 54- yard pass down the middle to Scott Sandler. Glover then threw a 29- 'Z yard TD pass to Sandler, giving the Quakers a 17-10 halftime lead. Glover threw two passes to Marty White for 38 yards to set up Jim.m Beato's touchdown dive that put the Quakers up 24-10 with 8:43 left in the third quarter. 3 Princeton narrowed the score in caught touchdown passes.

Jensen had booted a 33-yard, first-quarter field goal. And nose tackel John Romeo had picked off a fumble in the air from quarterback Doug Subocz and ran 27 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. Though Subocz, a senior making his first start of the season, was impressive, throwing a 49-yard touchdown pass to Delano Adams and passing for 144 yards, the Cadets trailed 24-12 at halftime. Coast Guard had thrown for only 239 in its first seven games. But thanks to a double-team on split end Terry McNamara, who had caught four pases for 58 yards, and a the fourth to 24-16 on a Garrett 9-yard TD pass to his brother Judd.

Jo- Coast Guard's David Beck stretches off the bench and do the job." The Cadets showed ability, too, dealing Trinity its first loss. They limited the Bantams to one pass completion and only three points in the final half. Coast Guard's fortunes looked dark, however, with 7:45 to play in the third quarter when Tim Jensen bounced a 41-yard field goal twice on the cross bar and over to give Trinity a 27-12 lead. The Bantams were running and passing well and their defense was containing Coast Guard's wishbone. Mike Davis (35 yards in the first quarter) and Steve Redgate (31 just 25 seconds before halftime) had deiro, all but destroyed Central's defense.

The Yellow Jackets (4-4) had 568 yards total offense and limited Central to 244 yards. They had 434 yards rushing and 134 yards passing. Cordeiro completed seven of 16 passes for 129 yards, three for touchdowns, tying the school record for most TD passes in a season (20). He also rushed for 72 yards. "They really did a good job running the ball and throwing the ball," Central Coach Mike McGlinchey said.

"And Cordeiro, it seems like he is the best I've seen this year. He has made some great things happen." Sophomore halfback Hugh Henry also tore up Central's defense, rushing for 123 yards and three touch Cordeiro, AIC too much for Central, 40-6 stingy defense against the run, Coast Guard throttled Trinity in the second half. Excellent punting by Jeff Farley, who averaged almost 44 yards, also kept the Bantams bottled up. Farley was not the only Cadet with a strong foot. James Roth booted three field goals, including a 41-yarder into a gusty breeze in the third quarter.

Trinity stopped itself with penalties 13 for 130 yards, 55 in the final half. "We killed ourselves with those," said Griffin, who completed nine of 23 passes for 151 yards. "They switched up their coverage on Terry, but we didn't adjust well enough or from Rodney Baron. As most teams have done this season, AIC avoided kicking to Baron. But from halfback, he rushed for 93 yards despite carrying the ball only nine times.

He also scored Central's only touchdown. And now for the gory details. AIC wasted no time and scored on its first drive of the game, a Cordeiro 35-yard pass to Allan Monteiro with 11 minutes, 54 seconds left in the first quarter. The Yellow Jackets scored again on their next possession on Cordeiro's 25-yard pass to Paul Goodwin. AIC recovered a Dan Kennedy fumble on Central's 40-yard line, which set up a 22-yard touchdown run by Henry.

AIC scored again on a Glover later tnrew a s-yara pass to White during a 75-yard, six-play scoring drive that ended with a an Keys scoring run with 5:36 re- maining.

make the plays to counteract it." "They hit some big passes," Trinity defensive end Jeff Buzzi said of Coast Guard's season-high 184 passing yards. "That really hurt us." So did Huerter. His 173 yards was not a school record. He ran for 240 against Norwich earlier this year. But his performance Saturday was more noteworthy because of the opponent and what was at stake.

"We expect such great things from Huerter," Coast Guard Coach Tom Bell said of his team's leading rusher with 775 yards. "It was simple: if we lost, we were out of the playoffs. Huerter and everybody else wouldn't let that happen." 16-yard Henry run with 5:56 left in the half. 4IC went up 34-0 in the third quarter on a 21-yard Cordeiro-to-Mon-teiro TD pass. Baron scored on a 33-yard run with 3:56 left in the third quarter for Central.

But AIC wasn't finished and, with no time left in the third quarter, Henry scored from 7 yards to make it 40-6. "A lot of times when we get on top of people, we seem to let up a little bit," McGlinchey said. "They didn't let up one inch." Central meets Southern Connecticut Saturday in New Haven.

By ROBERTO GONZALEZ Courant Staff Writer SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Last season Central Connecticut State University and American International College played an exciting game that ended in a 40-40 tie. This time the game was a little lopsided.

OK, very lopsided. The Blue Devils lost 40-6 to AIC Saturday at Miller Field and the Yellow Jackets did everything right, leading 28-0 at the half. Last week, the Blue Devils' defense looked solid against Western Connecticut, holding the Colonials to 157 yards total offense. AIC's offense, led by quarterback Mark Cor Wesleyan Staff and wire reports Kieran Clair completed a 41-yard touchdown pass to tailback Geoff Brunner with 13 minutes, 7 seconds remaining Saturday, giving Hamilton a 10-7 victory over Wesleyan in Clinton, N.Y. Wesleyan took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a 2-yard run by Steve Usher, but the Cardinals (3-3) were unable to extend the margin despite moving the ball inside the Hamilton 30 on their first eight possessions.

Hamilton (4-2) got to 7-3 on a 30-yard field goal by Nate O'Steen with 1:37 left in the third quarter and Owen Canfield Continued from Page CI and Coast Guard's 225-pound running back, Scott Huerter, were surrounded by fans. A man pushed his young son toward Subocz, saying, "This is one of the greatest victories Coast Guard ever won. Go shake hands with him." A man complimented Subocz on his performance and the quarterback handed the praise right off to Huerter and the rest of the team. of downs on seven carries. On his last touchdown, in the third quarter, the 5-foot-10, 225-pound Henry pushed free safety Jeff Roy 5 yards into the end zone.

"We've got to hang together and realize -we just got beat today," McGlinchey said. "They played a great football game we didn't play a very good game." He wasn't kidding. Central (3-3-1) fumbled nine times, losing five. "I really thought we should have had three touchdowns in the first half," McGlinchey said. "And we just coughed the ball up." Central also had nine penalties for 65 yards.

The bulk of Central's offense came Hamilton has won five consecutive games against Wesleyan. Brockport State 33, Western Connecticut 10: Quarterback Scott Bowerman passed for three touchdowns and ran for another to lead Brockport State (3-5) in Danbury. Bowerman opened the scoring on a 12-yard run in the second quarter. Western (3-5) came back to take a 10-6 lead on an 8-yard touchdown run by Anthony Grant of Glastonbury and a 25-yard field goal by Martin Caulfield. But Bowerman connected with halfback Pete White on scoring passes of 18 and 42 yards as Brock was not at all surprised.

"You know," Rinoski said, "we're both seniors and all through four years, competing for the same job, there has been no resentment We're the best of friends. But this was just his day. His time to shine. And I'm as happy as I can be for him." Until Saturday, when the Coast Guardsmen sailed in under their new captain and subdued Trinity by a single point, they had never been State scored the winning touchdown on its next possession. Hamilton forced four turnovers two interceptions and two fumbles and blocked two kicks to offset a weak offensive performance.

Wesleyan had some large statistical edges: 85-50 in offensive plays, 339-168 in total yards and 21-9 in first downs. Wesleyan quarterback Jim Lukowski completed 18 of 25 passes for 160 yards. Usher rushed 24 times for 92 yards, 82 in the first half. port State opened a 19-10 lead after three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Bowerman hit Frank Ojeda with a 9-yard scoring pass and White scored his third touchdown on a 23-yard run.

Western gained 242 yards on the ground but was outgained passing, 143-18. New Haven 34, Springfield 15: Pierre Fils returned a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown and scored on a 43-yard pass from quarterback Mike Horton in West Haven. The Chargers (6-2) used a balanced offense (216 yards rushing, 213 passing) for the victory. They also got two touchdowns from fresh able to beat the Bantams two years in succession. Though the game was a bitter loss for Trinity, ending what had been very viable hopes for an undefeated season, the Bantams (4-1-1) had as many outstanding contributors as did the Bears.

Until he was injured late in the game, free safety Darren Toth of Monroe was terrific. Tight end Rocco DeMaio from New Haven was impressive. Terry McNamara, 1 Another in the clot of admirers around the day's most celebrated performer reminded him that he might be back on the sideline the rest the season and postseason because Rinoski is on the mend and sure to be ready by Coast Guard's final game, Nov. 12. He just smiled.

"That's my role," he said. Someone told Rinoski what his backup had said. He is an admirer of the man from Northampton and thus best remembered in connection with.n this football Saturday. He took com-n mand, threw 12 times, completed six for 184 yards and a touchdown, he ran the wishbone show ly. Under his direction, when the pressure was most severe, the Ca-dets scored the last 16 points of thee game and they needed every one.
