Princeton sent sophomore El lis Moore crashing for five touchdowns and blasted favored Harvard, 45 to 6, today in a renewal of an Ivy League rival ry started 1876. Moore, a fullback in Princeton's old fashioned but still effective single wing attack, set an ivy record in scoring four (Continued, Page A 4, Col. 5) The 1967 International was a tremendous horse race, and I don't want to take a thing away from the performance of Fort Marcy.

He was extremely well conditioned by Elliott Burch, perfectly ridden by Manuel Ycaza, and he out-raced Horse of the Year Damascus in a thrilling head-and-head duel that lasted from the head of the stretch to the wire. On this beautiful fall day and over the Laurel turf course, he was the better of the two United States representatives who faced the best the rest of the world had to offer and ran one-two. But, when it was all over, I thought Eddie Arcaro summed it up best in the jockeys' room. Damascus Would Win On Dirt "The big difference," he said, "was that Fort Marcy is unquestionably, a superior grass horse, while this was Damas-cus's first shot on the turf. I honestly believe that if they were to run on the main track Damascus would beat him by five or six lengths.

He always has. "It was the same thing with Kelso," added the man who rode that great gelding to his first of three consecutive seconds in the International before he finally won it in 1964. "I never thought Kelso was a great grass horse. Oh, he was a good one all right, and he always gave a good account of himself. But he just didn't dig in the way he did on the dirt.

"When he ran against T.V. Lark it was the same as it was with Damascus and Fort Marcy today. T.V. Lark was a superior grass horse, and it was Kelso's first time on the turf. If they had run on the dirt that day Kelso would have beat him, the way he always did before.

The grass made the difference. "But," concluded Arcaro, "the International is a turf race. (Continued, Page A 8, Col. 7) TERPS FALL TO GLEMSON RALLY, 28-7 5 Tigers Score 3 Times In Second Half To Break 7-7 Tie By JOHN W. STEWART iBy the Associated Press Clemson, S.C., Nov.

11 fired-up University of Maryland football team shocked Clemson with a second-quarter touchdown, but that was it for the 24- point underdog Terps and the ligers went on to a 28-to-7 Atlantic Coast Conference victory. The result put coach Frank Howard's team at 4-0 in the conference, setting up next week's battle here with North Carolina State for the cham pionship. It left the Terps at 0-4 in the A.C.C. and 0-7 on the year for eleven losses in a row over a two-year period, tying the school record that depart ment. Year's Second Touchdown A two-yard pass from Paul Fitzpatrik to Billy Gillespie accounted for Maryland's second touchdown of the year early in the second period and Rick Carlson who had all 15 pre vious Terp points this fall added the at-that-time tying point.

Clemson broke the tie late in the third period. A short punt by Billy Van Heusen gave the home team possession at the 1 (Continued, Page A 2, Col. 8) once. They also have a tie their eight starts. Despite Baltimore's obvious superiority, reflected in the only unbeaten record in the N.F.L., 6-0-2, and the 17 points by which the Colts are favored, Falcon fans are undismayed.

The game is a 58,850 sellout, the first of the year in Atlanta. WMAR-TV (Channel 2) will televise the game in the Baltimore area. It is apparent that the weaker teams prime themselves for the Colts The unbeaten record is something to shoot at and gives the down clubs an addi tional incentive. It is also apparent that the Colts aren't as well prepared mentally for the weaker clubs (Continued, Page A 6, Col. 2) BULLETS TOP SEATTLE BY 134 TO 129 Scott Scores 31 Points To Pace Win Over Expansion Team By ALAN GOLDSTEIN The Bullets, coming off a depressing 115-to-114 loss in Boston, were flat at the Civic Center last night, but they still managed to survive a fourth quarter rally by Seattle to nip the fledgling Supersonics, 134 to 129, before 4.685 fans.

Seattle, down by as many as a dozen points in the second half, fought back to within a point, 115 to 114, with 4.17 left to play. Baltimore appeared to get some breathing room wnen rookie Ted Manning and Gus Johnson hit consecutive baskets to stretch the lead to 121 to 115 with 3.20 remaining. Ohl Hits Foul Shots But Al Biaochi's West Coasters, who resemble last year's Baby Chicago Bulls with their never-ending hustle, kept breathing down the Bullets necks and rookie Bob Rule's basket made it 124 to 122 with 1.49 left. Don Ohl followed with two throws only to see Tom Mesch-ery match this with a short jumper. But this was as close as the Sonics came to catch ing up.

4) INTERNATIONAL FINISH DUKE WHIPS MIDDIES BY 35-16 SCORE Blue Devil Rushers Amass 301 Yards; Cartwright Off By W. LAWRENCE NULL Sun Staff Correspondent Norfolk, Nov. 11-Duke's season-long prayers for some points were graciously answered by Navy today and the Blue Devils rolled to a 35-to-16 football triumph in the twenty-first annual Oyster Bowl game before a sellout crowd of 30,000 at Foreman Field. Other than a couple of wild last-quarter thrusts when the decision was already out of reach, Navy reached into Duke territory just twice, scoring a 43-yard field goal in the first quarter and a touchdown in the second. Leads Wasted Duke, limited to a single touchdown in each of five games this season, went on a wild scoring spree, ably assisted by a porous Navy defense and a couple mistakes by the Middle offense.

Navy led at 3-0' and 10-7, but it was all over when Larry Davis, Duke's alternate quarterback, sprinted over from the 13 early in the third period. Navy's running attack, never very exciting, was stopped cold and the passing of quarterback John Cartwright was throttled by an experienced Duke secondary led by former McDonogh star Andy Beath. The Blue Devils unleased four backs who gained most of Duke's 301 yards on the ground. Woodall Sharp Davis, the game's outstanding player who comes from nearby Portsmouth, gained 89 yards. Sophomore Pete Schafer, sub bing for regular halfback Frank Ryan, added 97, quarterback Al Woodall picked up 50 and full back Jay Calabrese, of College rark, Doomed tor 52.

Woodall completed 6 of 9 passes for 71 yards and Davis connected on 2 of 4 for 35 yards. Cartwright, under great pres sure, completed only four of seven passes for 45 yards, and had two interceptions that led to Duke touchdowns. Over-all, Duke amassed 407 yards total offense to 188 for the Midshipmen, who are now 4-4 (Continued, Page A 2, Col 5) By ALBERT R. FISCHER Sun Staff Correspondent Hershey, Nov. 11 Today was Veteran's Day and the Her shey Bears made Clipper net-minder Joe Daley feel like a real ice war veteran as the Bears edged the Baltimore club, 3 to 2.

Except for Daley, the score would have been much higher, since his mates did little to help him. Daley Stops 30 Bob Leiter's goal at the 12.04 mark of the final period was the winning tally after the Clippers twice came from behind to deadlock the score, both times with Tom McCarthy getting the tying goal. It was only through Daley's work that the Clippers were in the game at all. Joe made 30 stops in the first two periods, while the Clippers tested his Oregon State Upsets S.

11 (in The Beavers of Oregon State killed another giant today. They knocked off No. 1 Southern California, 3-to-0 on a soggy field, before a record crowd of 41,494. It was Mike Haggard's 30- yard field goal with 5.05 left in the second quarter that stood up through a bitter defensive battle in the second half. With 18 seconds left, in the first half Haggard missed on a 28-yard field goal attempt and missed again in the fourth quar ter on a 45-yard attempt.

U.S.C.'s Rikki Aldndge missed on a 36-yard attempt in the first quarter. Beaver linebacker Skip Vanderbundt set up the field goal by recovering Steve Sog- ge's fumble on the U.S.C. 48. Then the O.S.U. attack was three yards and a splash of mud until the Beavers got within field goal range.

Tough Defense U.S.C.'s O. J. Simpson threa tened to run away with the game in the first half, racking up 131 yards on 18 carries. He was bottled up in the second half and finished the game with 183 yards and 35 carries. His longest run was 38 yards in the second quarter.

Oregon State 230-pound full back, Bill Enyart, gained over 100 yards including 47 on a run ended by his fumble on the U.S.C. 19.

11 A grass-course specialist, Rokeby Stable's Fort Marcy, gave the mighty Damascus a lesson in running on the turf in the sixteenth running of the $150,000 Washington (D.C) International at Laurel today when he accomplished a nose victory over Mrs. Edith W. Bancroft outstanding dirt-track champion. Damascus drew to even terms with Fort Marcy in the early stretch, but was unable to pass and a clear nose separated the two American horses for the final sixteenth of a mile while they finished two and a half lengths in front of Australia's Tobin Bronze. Well Off Course Record Much credit for Fort Marcy's upset victory will go to Manuel Ycaza, who was riding the Paul Mellon home bred for the first time in ten months and obviously staged a stronger finish than Bill Shoe-( Continued, Page A 8, Col.

6) Trainer Lauds Role Of Ycaza By DALE AUSTIN tSun Staff Correspondent Laurel, Nov. 11 Fort Marcy, Paul Mellon's bad luck gelding of late, got a sudden change of fate today by winning the Washington D.C. Interna tional, but trainer Elliott Burch pointed out that it was only a slight change, and at that he got a couple of big assists. Burch attributed much of Fort Marcy's success to Manuel Ycaza, who "bugged me into letting him ride the horse when I really didn't trnk we had a shot at beating Damascus. He had more confidence than I did.

I thought Damascus was unbeatable." The trainer then sent out a special thanks to Fort Marcy's backers on the American selec tion board, which picks the United States representatives.

If this form continues to run true the Colts are in for another squeaker tomorrow at 1.30 P.M. when they meet the tailenders of the Coastal Division, the Falcons, at the Atlanta Sta dium.
