BOSTON si. MjAV 21-14 Covinffton runs, URI errs HC wins from there. A two-point conversion try failed. The winning touchdown was scored by big defensive end Paul Natasavage. URI was pinned on its seven after a fine Tim Barry punt and on the first play from scrimmage URI was pushed back to the two.

On second down, a Terry Lynch pitch went wide and Natasavage recovered it for the touchdown. Malt Michaud kicked his third extra point. URI hung in tough and scored again on a 61-yard five-play drive behind Lynch's passing. He capped the drive with a 38-yard scoring toss to T.J. Deisanto in the left corner of the HC end zone.

Cross? I wanted a small school so I applied to Holy Cross and some Ivy League schools. Holy Cross made me the best offer." Holy Cross scored twice in the second quarter. Doug Pietrick scored from the one over the middle and Mike Redding was on the receiving end of a 38-yard scoring pass from Dave Murphy, who took over the duties from Dave Bois-ture after the first two series of downs. The first HC score was set up by a Pete George interception on the HC 38. The big plays were 18 and 19-yard passes from Murphy to Redding and John Ahern.

the latter bringing the ball to the one. The second touchdown also started with a turnover when John McNally recovered a fumble on the HC 28. Murphy moved the club nearly both times. Wheelwright said. "I consider Boisture and Murphy both starters.

They know that. If one failed to do the job, the other would go in." Murphy offered. "I didn't start, but I wasn't angry. Tom just didn't get the club moving. I went in and was lucky.

I still look at both of us as the starting quarterbacks. We're good friends and try to help each other." URI got on the board early in the fourth period (0:11 seconds). Jon Rodgers, who was spelling the injured (foot) Leroy Shaw, broke a 43-yarder to the HC two and Joe Brooks hit gave up a total of 413 yards, yet Crusader coach Neil Wheelwright believed his club played a strong game on defense. "1 was pleased with the entire club." said Wheelwright. "The defense forced many of those turnovers.

I guess the best way to describe the contest was that it was a typical opener for both teams. Overall. I'm pleased. And I have to admit that Rhode Island is a good deal tougher than it was a year ago." Covington, a 5-9, 210-pounder, said. "I feel good.

No I didn't expect to carry that much. Last year in high school I just carried about 12 times a game. But I don't mind. I had good people working up in front of me.

This was going to be Connecticut's Big Debut, the Initial look at a new Wishbone offense that hopefully would give the Huskies their first winning season since 1973. It would be an offense better suited to UConn's wealth of fast running backs, reasoned coach Walt Nadzak. What Nadzak found out yesterday is that his running attack still needs a lot of work.

But his and kicking game can do the job when necessary as Ken Sweitzer threw two touchdown passes to Reggie Eccleston, and Bob Segar kicked Jtwo field goals in a 20-10 victory over New Hampshire in the season opener for both teams. The Wishbone netted only 152 yards on the ground. 48 of those by QB Sweitzer, staistics that will remind absolutley no one of Oklahoma. "We were a little rough today a lot rough." Asaid Nadzak. "We just haven't put it (Wishbone) together yet.

We've got a long way to go." What UConn didn't do. however, was make the 'costly mistakes New Hampshire made. A fumble by Mark Nichols led to Connecticut's first agcore, a 23-yard field goal by Segar at 9:59. On its next possesion, the Wildcats marched 1'fxom their 26 to the UConn five before Jim Quinn fumbled on first down with Darrell Wilson making the recovery.

The 76-yard TD was the fifth-longest in UConn's history. "The victory was Connecticut's first over UNH since 1974; and Nadzak's first ever. For his efforts, the coach was doused with champagne.

Glassboro coach Dan Gilmore said he "had a few stern words for his squad between the halves." He was especially upset with his star winger, Scott Salisbury (the MVP in last year's Division 3 nationals) who kicked one over an empty net in the closing moments of the first half. Glassboro State next takes on the University of Lowell tomorrow at Lowell. In an exhibition match at New Haven, Yale defeated Cambridge, England, 4-1. Harry Gruner scored the game winner with 10 minutes left to start a barrage of 3 goals within an 8-minute span. Other goal scorers included Mark Rozells, Willie McMullen and Kevin Maher.

"Bobby Wilder pushed it across to me and I just got a foot on it," Francis said, describing the game winner. As he reached the ball, Keene defender Ted McGahn threw his body in front of the shot. The trouble was that Dietrich was also diving toward the ball. "We hit and the next thing I knew we were both down," said the goalie. The ball came out of the pile of bodies and rolled into the net as Keene partisans groaned.

Keene dominated the first half of play and got its goal, an unassisted one by Tony Pearce, who knocked in a rebound off a Glassboro defender at 39:15. Mike Burdick had lofted a perfect throw-in to the goal mouth that freshman striker, John McCully from Nauset, headed at the goal. It hit the crossbar, and came back off the defender to Pearce. In the By Barry Cadigan "Globe Staff -C-' KEENE, N.H. With 15 minutes to go the game, Keene State allowed striker Garfield Francis to score two in a minute and 35 seconds, which was all Glassboro State needed to spoil the Owls' 1980 debut, 2-1, before an crowd of 1500 here yesterday.

On his first score, Francis collected the at midfield, beat a pair of defenders wand coasted into the penalty area un-cmarked. He bombed a perfect left-footed shot to the corner of the net, way out of each of Keene State goalie Kyle Dietrich. The second goal was a gift, although Francis hit it pretty hard that time, too.
