On third and goal from the 9. quarterback Tim Fontaine hit Garry Pearson with a pass over the middle that the sophomore tailback carried to the 1.

On fourth down. Pearson went over the right side of his line behind a block from fullback Brian Heyworth, giving Massachusetts a 17-14 lead with 6:03 to play. The 10.400 at Alumni Stadium battled fog and drizzle to watch this game with the perennial small-school power Blue Hens merely went totally wild. Delaware, which had lost the week before in the final 37 seconds to Lehigh, had not dropped two games in a row since early in the 1978 season. The jubilation, however, was 5 minutes and 54 seconds "Scully tinds the guy open and Wood makes the big play.

Field goal? I wasn't thinking any field goal. If I'd a' kicked a field goal, I'd a' been parboiled back home." UMass blitzed on the play, and Scully just got the ball away before he was hit, UMass had taken its 10-0 lead on a 37-yard field goal by Herb Newland and Pearson's 2-yard run in the first quarter. Delaware cut it to 10-7 in the second quarter on Scully's 17-yard TD pass to Gino Olivieri and took the lead on Ed Braceland's recovery in the end zone of a punt he blocked in the third period. "Our offense showed a lot of poise making that comeback," said Pickett. "And the defense played really well.

The end was, well, just a shame." touchdown rushed 11 men. Ray Lar-yard just got the punt off. with the ball rolling to the UMass 48. Delaware had a fourth and 5 from the 43 before Rick Scully found Wood coming out of the backfield for a first down at the 36. At that point, there were 39 seconds to play and Delaware was out of timeouts.

A pass interference call on Jones moved the ball to the 29. Then, on second down, with nine seconds to play, Scully found Wood in back of Pete Spa-dafora in the end zone. "He just ran an out-and-up," said Scully. "He was open all day on that pattern." "We were just doing the best we can." said Delaware coach Tubby Raymond. By Harry Eisenbcrg Globe Correspondent AMHERST The pain "will linger long after the bumps and bruises have healed.

The University of Massachusetts will not soon forget yesterday's 21-17 loss to the University of Delaware. "Without a doubt the toughest loss I've ever had." said UMass coach Bob Pickett, a statement with which anyone who saw the game can empathize. The Minutemen. who had a 10-0 lead at the end of the first perjod, found them-, selves trailing. 14-10.

midway through the final quarter against a Delaware defense that seemed to get tougher as the game progressed. But then the UMass offense came back to life, methodically Delaware could do nothing on its next possession against an exemplary UMass defense and was forced to punt from its 3. The Minutemen took over on Delaware's 37 with 5:07 left, but could gain only two yards in three plays and punted. Delaware took over on its 20 and moved to the UMass 30 before the Minutemen got what appeared to be their big break. Here halfback Ed Wood fought his way around right end before he was belted by several defenders and coughed up the ball.

Max Jones recovering with 2:37 to play. But once again the Delaware defense shut down the UMass ground game (92 net yards), forcing the Minutemen to punt from their 20 with 1:17 to play.

BU expected passes to the tight end and a big performance from junior fullback Ray Sinclair, who had averaged 154 yards a game. Instead, the BU defense held Davidson to 390 yards total offense, and though Sinclair came up with 143 yards, the rest of the backfield produced only three yards more.

"Davidson found out they couldn't run on us early, said BU coach Rick Taylor, "so they switched to those short passes." The strategy worked between the 20-yard lines, but almost every time it threatened inside the 20, Davidson was put into reverse. In the first quarter, BU proved that it wasn't dwelling on last week's humiliation. The whole team went out for the coin toss; the whole team then tackled Davidson. Reggie Robinson forced a fumble that Al Deluca. who later grabbed BU's first interception of the year, picked up on the Davidson 26.

BU (4-1) recovered with a flourish against Davidson (3-2). beating the Wildcats. 35-14, before 2440 fans at Nickerson Field. "We worked on emotion and enthusiasm all week," said quarterback Jim Jensen, who completed 9 of 14 passes for 155 yards and scored two touchdowns. Jensen, who is unabashedly aggressive, is one of the few quarterbacks in North America who will lead the blocking on a run up the middle.

"Hey," he said, "you gotta get in the act." BU and Davidson, the national offense leader in Division 1-AA, had never played pitcnout to Drew.

The game was played for a 260-year-old flintlock rifle called The Brice-Cowell Musket. And in the end, it was the University of New Hampshire's ability to stop Maine's own big gun, Lorenzo Bouier, that allowed the Wildcats to register a 19-13 homecoming win yesterday. The UNH defense victimized Maine freshman quarterback Dave Rebholz for six interceptions and held Bouier to 96 yards.

The sophomore tailback, who has been held under 100 yards only twice this season, had only 56 yards heading into the final period. Although the UNH defense came through with the six interceptions and a fumble, the Wildcat offense only capitalized on one occasion. UNH led, 13-7, entering the fourth period, and Ron MacDonald picked off pass No. 4. Eleven plays and 53 yards later, reserve tailback Dave Kass went over from the 1 to give UNH a 12-point bulge.

The Wildcats, who have won two straight after an 0-3 start, led, 6-0, early in the second quarter as freshman Rusty Foster connected on field goals of 42 and 30 yards. Rebholz put Maine on top with a 9-yard scoring strike to John Nockett with less than two minutes remaining in the half. UNH put together a 74-yard drive midway through the third period.
