80 BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE SEPTEMBER 28. 1980 HCc 9 .4 an conver 1 7' I'iH Si: fci WW i a Kaau. arvard. escapes Copplnger intercepted Boisture's final pass as time expired and the 18,000 Stadium spectators almost did likewise. Harvard dominated the first half.

QB Brian Buckley marching his team up and down the field. But the Crimson could cash only two of four scoring opportunities Paul Connors' forward fumble on a 6-yard sweep being recovered in the end zone by his tackle, Dave Anderson, and Buckley himself plunging 2 yards for the other touchdown. Dave Cody kicked both conversions after these 71- and 79-yard scoring marches, seemingly unnecessary points at the time but eventually the margin between winning and losing. Still. Harvard went to halftime leading only 14-7.

A high center snap by Mike Jacobs had put HC on the Crimson 2 midway through the second quarter, and fullback Doug Pietrick quickly plunged over for the touchdown. The identical situation occurred one minute into the third period. But this time. Harvard stacked Pie-trick on first down, and senior tackle Tim Palmer recovered Covington's fumble on second down. "We had enough breaks to win it and just couldn't pull it off," said HC coach Neil Wheelwright.

"My team showed character by adjusting defensively to shut out Harvard in the second half, and we also put on our: best march (88 yards) of the season to pull within, a point. Then the missed point? Well. I don't think either Joe (Harvard coach Restic) or I would have been satisfied with a tie in this game." By Ernie Roberts Globe Staff Ah. the fickleness of football fortune in Harvard Stadium. Seemingly betrayed by a weird kicking game.

Harvard eventually defeated Holy Cross, 14-13. via that same weapon yesterday. And HC quarterback Dave Boisture. apparently destined to be the Purple's hero by completing 15 of 25 passes after his second-quarter entrance, instead was 'guilty of two late-game miscues that led to his team's final frustration. After the keyed-up Crusaders had closed to within a point on Mark Covington's 6-yard scoring plunge late in the third quarter, placekicker Matt Michaud attempted to tie the score with his 26th consecutive successful conversion.

But holder Boisture bobbled the center's snap, and Michaud's hurried kick was wide left. "It was a tough snap, but I had plenty of time to put it on the tee and couldn't." said the junior quarterback. "Usually it is a bang-bang play, but today Matt had to take a stutter step and didn't catch it cleanly." HC still needed only a field goal for victory after it drove 62 yards to the Harvard 19 late in the fourth period. However, on third down and 9, Boisture was sacked by Chuck Durst back to the 27, That added distance was too much for placekicker Michaud to handle. His subsequent attempt at a 45-yard field goal was scuffed only to the Harvard 7.

"I was looking for my split end on a post pattern on that third-down play," said Boisture, son of former HC coach Tom Boisture. who now is personnel director of the New York Giants. "He was covered. I should have thrown it away, but I didn't want to give it up on an interception. Then I just ran out of time and they sacked me." HC actually had one final fling as linebacker Curt Bletzer, outstanding on defense all day with an interception and three sacks, forced.

Harvard to punt from its end zone. Twice earlier, soaring Crimson centering 'snaps had given Holy Cross the ball on the Harvard 2. But this time. Jeff Lawrence's snap was perfect, and punter Steve Flach rode it out to the 40. Then Peter tf--r I vis 4- Harvard, 14-13 at Harvard 7 7 0 0 14 0 7 013.

The key-play of the goal-line stand was a jarring backfield tackle by Eli linebacker Scott McKenzie on third and inches that left the Huskies three yards shy of the end zone. Most of the second quarter was played on the Yale end of the field. But despite many opportunities, Connecticut could manage no more than a lone field goal by Bob Segar and trailed. 7-3.

at the half. For the afternoon. Connecticut ran 85 offensive plays to Yale's 61, had 21 first downs to Yale's 10. and led the Elis in total yards. 294-176.

But Yale stayed ahead in the second half on big offensive plays. The first such play was a 77-yard punt return by tailback Rich Diana that gave Y'ale a first and goal at the Connecticut 10 early in the third quarter. Diana then took a third-down pass from Rogan and won a footrace to the corner of the end zone to give Yale a 1 3-3advantage. The extra-point attempt failed. Yale's defense continued to bend but never broke, holding fast in every crucial situation.

Connecticut's final points of the day were scored by the Husky defense. Jody Webb blocked a Tony Jones punt with 1:21 gone in the final period, and defensive end Peter Rostosky carried in the loose ball for a touchdown from the Yale 5-yard line.
