They made it very hard to believe the non-Ivy mauling they had earlier absorbed from Rutgers and Colgate. But the Tigers are undefeated in the Ivy set, with Yale and Dartmouth confrontations lying just down the track. Virtually everybody the 28,909 congregation who viewed them in action yesterday left the real estate convinced of their title potential.

i i It has been three years since the local rhinos, the Patriots, were involved in a crucial game. Few of them remember what it was like the special tension, the gense of being involved in something very important, the feeling "this is the big 1 4 1 one." But here they are again, after all this time, at a crisis: the Dolphins are in town this afternoon to challenge the Patriots for last place in the Eastern Division.

After the first 27 minutes of play Princeton withdrew both Moore and Brian McCullough, another guy who gulps yardage the way college boys of another generation gulped goldfish.

During those 27 minutes, of course, Princeton put a lock on the game. Detailing -the carnage is like reporting a train wreck. The Tigers not only put 31 points on the board 10 of them within 55 seconds at the top of the second quarter but controlled, the ball for 44 plays to Harvard's 16. They played 21' minutes into their first punting situation of the game. next time they were so situated Moore dropped back the conventional 12 yards then threw a 40-yard pass completion.

In addition, Moore left a dumbfounded Harvard delegation at his mercy in on a fourth-down, five, kicking situation at the Johns' -45 in the second quarter, Princeton leading by 24 he hurled a pass from kick formation. Harvard was engaged in a kick-block play at the moment. Moore's pass sailed unchallenged over, their onrushing operatives and lodged in the hands of Princeton flanker Pete Hauck almost for another TD. Linebacker Gary Far-neti nailed the receiver on the Harvard five.

QB Scott MacBean scored from there on fourth down when everybody was looking for Moore to carry for another TD. i- i ft I i ECSTATIC Buffalo's Mike Luiny (34) exults after intercepting B.C. pass in fourth period.

But the way Cleve's Rushians coming there seems to be little chance they can qualify for the rights to the No. 1 player of the campuses. There's also fearful competition in the other league, the N.F.L., from Chicago (0-7), New Orleans (1-6), Pittsburgh (1-6) and. San Francisco (1-5-1).

Las Vegas says the Patriots will stay in the race for first choice by losing today. But in the other Las Vegas the original in New Mexico 15,000 dissenting citizens will sit in front of their 8-inch Muntz TV sets screaming for Boston. 'V "Yessir, Las Vegas has become a Patriots town," ays John Levra, who has lived there four years. "And you aren't going to have a last place team as long as you have Carl Garrett." Garrett's longevity as a Patriot is uncertain now, for he is facing another kind of draft call military on Nov. As Good as Anyone, Anywhere Levra, one of the New Mexican converts to Patriotism, may not be entirely objective on the matter of Garrett, the new kid who has put rushing into Rush's of- -fense.

But John Levra, who coached Garrett at New Mexico" Highlands University in Vegas, insists he isn't onesided. "Watched Carl on TV last Sunday, and he's still not blocking very well. 3 "That'll come. He didn't really begin applying him-self till Spring practice in 1968. Lots of ability, but a difficult background and his attitude wasn't the best.

But the important thing is he got himself straightened around, and he's ready to play football as good as anybody anywhere. "Carl has never had it easy," said his college coach. 'He came out of a very bad high school academically Negro school in Denton, Tex. and studies were hard for him here. He didn't graduate."

The club now has won three and lost seven. One reason for Boston's weak offensive showing was the absence of Larry Siegfried who strained his knee against the Warriors Friday night and. didn't make the trip to Chicago. Boston made its best run early in the second half when they cut Chicago's lead to three points, but the Bulls immediately spurted off on an 18-2 tear to go in front, 68-53. The Celtics never recovered from that deficit.

Chicago's hustling Bob Love had 27 points, Bob Weiss had 17, Jerry Sloan 12, Walker 16, Clem Has-kins 11 and Tom Boerwin-kle 10. CELTICS Page 78 By TOM FITZGERALD dob sun DETROIT Troubles piled up on the back-sliding Bruins last night as they floundered through their fifth game without a win, dropping a 3-2 decision to the Red Wings. In addition to the setback which dropped them down into fourth place in the East Division standings, the Bruins may have some worries over the condition of goalie Gerry Cheevers. Twice late in the game, Gerry was crashed or fell to the ice, obviously aggravating the chronic con Any semblance of competition which the 51-20 tally on the Stadium scoreboard suggests was belied by what actually occurred on the turf itself. The Tigers with a T.

scored three touchdowns and a field goal the first four times they got the football, ran up a 31 to 0 lead and spent most of the final 30 minutes activating a horde of lowercase operatives. The first three touchdowns of the game were scored by Ellis Moore on runs of six, eight and 11 yards amid scenes of almost unparalleled jubilance in the south stands. The significance was extraordinary. Two years before, as a sophomore Moore had scored five times against Harvard in this same setting. Now, dition of dislocation in his left shoulder.

With a recent record of three defeats and two ties, the Bruins are how three points behind leading New York which has played two more games. The Red Wings hit quickly and early in the game for goals -by Billy Dea and Nick Libett and got what proved the on a Garry Unger tip-in during a power play at 13:52 of the third period. Ace Bailey came through for Boston in the first minute of the second period, but the other Bruin ever going to contain Bob -Griese it should be this afternoon at Boston College's. Alumni Stadium.

Celtics. Boston's demise was idi-rectly attributable to Chicago's General Manager, Pat Williams, a transplanted Philadelphian. 5 All; Williams did was trade Jim Washington to the 76ers for Chet (The Jet) Walker who zoomed in toward the basket from his corner post for the clutch baskets which broke Celtics' rallies in every period. Williams has promoted the lowly Bulls so well that they drew 13,509 fans last night an all-time team record.

"The early part of the game was disrupted by a constant procession on and off the benches as Harry Sinden tried to prevent a confrontation between the Esposito and Howe lines.

Edge, 27-13 By ERNIE ROBERTS Glob Staff Boston University's Bruce Taylor, the astrojet of the Astroturf, was not riding his magic carpet yesterday.

The Terrier senior was held to three yards on two kick returns by Rhode Island. However, his pres- ence intimidated the Ram punting game into two-, over-cautious bloopers which B.U. seized upon for a 27-13 victory. This was B.U.'s seventh victory in eight games, thereby equaling the most triumphs of any team in Terrier football history (1554, 7-2). B.U.

has two games remaining (Delaware and Temple) to exceed that mark. Rhode Island now is 2-6. Rhody's Jay J.Ionaghan, warily eyeing Taylor up-field, kicked an 11 -yard B.r.

"We play some real poor teams," says Levra, who has been unbeaten for three seasons, "and Carl was wor-; ried if he could play in the A.F.L.

"But Carl Garrett exhuberates confidence," says his coach, "and af ter he gets used to a place he knows he can play anywhere. "But, you know," laughed Levra, "we don't miss him hardly at all. We got a freshman, Henry Villareal, that took Carl's place, and has 990 yards rushing in seven games. HeU probably break all Carl's records.

Apparently Highlands is a pleasant academic grove to prepare one for pro football.

"Most of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders were cowboys from this area, and every Fourth of July their official reunion is held right here," said Levra. Only four men are left from Roosevelt's eivalry regiment, and just one is strong enough to make the reunion.

For the last few years, Jesse Langdon of New York has shown up in Las Vegas for a reunion of to reminisce about charging up San Juan HiH through the Spanish line in 1898. He won't last long, but fortunately for the citizenry of the lesser Las egas, Carl Garrett is well able to keep a Rough Rider tradition going for them.
