SHORTS 65 Boston Sunday Globs October II, lf70 Penn State buries BC, 28-3 If 6 By Jerry Nason, Globe Staff Perm State's formerly flub-dub football squad has successfully auditioned for the gravedigging roles in "Hamlet." It had contrived with an epidemic of errors to bury its own 1970 aspirations at Boulder, Colo, and Madison, within a fortnight Yesterday it interred those of previously unbeaten Boston College, 28-3, at Alumni Field in a sensational form reversal. The interceptions- which had plauged it for two games flipped over and it was Penn State i'hien was now catching passes the othe guy's. They picked seven BC passes out of the fog. which enshrounded the field, six of them', juried by the marksman they most feared Red Harris. pulled o'f a kick-block play from which they directly harvested seven points on linebacker Jack Ham's recovery and 39-yard scoring run behind a convoy.

They did it with successive defensive gems that broke the back of the BC attack Tackle Frank Ahrenhold on the left blitzed passer Harris for a 10-yard loss on a third down pass attempt, then State pulled off a kick-block play from which they directly harvested seven points on linebacker Jack Ham's recovery and 39-yard scoring run behind a convoy. Gary Gray, the outside linebacker, barreled through the premeditated gup to block the kick, smashing the ball off John O'Hagen's foot. It skittered to the left, where the mobile Ham plucked it off the turf and fled without opposition for the touchdown, 14-3. BOSTON Page 70 The air-defense performance matched the" all-time State record, made against Missouri in the '69 Orange Bowl contest and just about answers the inevitable query, "whatza matter BC?" A what was the matter with BC which drew first blood with a Larry Bcr-ridge field goal 11 minutes into the game was a tremendous effort by State's defensive unit. This aggregation of shaggy monsters set up the first touchdown with George Landis' interception of Harris and 20-yard run back to the 28 in the second quarter and actually scored the second, which broke a tough game wide open at 3:50 of the third quarter1.

But Brooks, who started the World Series a year ago by being absolutely sensational with his glove against the Mets, made a practically unbelievable play starting off the Reds' sixth with Lee May at the plate. Brooks Robinson's glove and one swing of his bat slopped the Big Red machine yesterday, although the Reds -were talking about a big blunder by an umpire in the Orioles' 4-3 win the opening game of the World Series.

i The Reds, who were locked in a 3-3 tie at the time, followed with a walk and single, so it was obvious how important Robinson's play was. After the walk and single, which sent Bernie Carbo to third base with only one out, plate umpire Ken Burk-hart was blasted long into the night for a decision he made which the Reds will always claim he never saw. SERIES, Page 68 territory. Somehow Brooks, who is rather slow afoot, got to the ball with his backhand. He was at least 10 feet outside the line.

But quick as a cat, he found the sight of first base out of the corner of his eye and threw to big Boog Powell at first base. The ball landed about 10 feet in front of Powell and went to the first baseman for the putout. May was astounded, and as he headed towards the dugout, the Reds' first baseman kept peering back at Robinson. The victory went to Jim Palmer, who clinched the Orioles' chances of entering the series when he beat the Twins last Monday in Palmer, bounced a ground ball close to the third base line, and it took a weird kick td the left and into foul Dartmouth tramples Princeton By Ernie Roberts Globe Staff HANOVER, N.H. Dartmouth's hardnosed defense and surprising double-wing offense pulverized Princeton, 38-0 and eclipsed the gorgeous hardwood ridge of color on adjacent Balch Hill here yesterday.

The undefeated Indians treated the capacity crowd of 20,306 to the largest Dartmouth margin over Princeton in history. Field boss Jim Chasey startled the Tigers with a double-wing attack for five touchdowns by as many players. One was scored by the irrepressible Tim Copper, who returned the first Princeton punt in bounds for 64 yards and the game-breaking touchdown at the top of the second period. "I hope this habit keeps up," grinned this 150-pound junior, who now has provided punt returns of 73 56, and 64 yards in Dartmouth's first three -ictories. "That blocking of ours is getting to be awe-seme." Senior quarterback Chasey scored the first touchdown on a one-yard keeper after a 44-yard pass to playmate John Short.

He also directed scoring drives of 61 yards, capped by Stu Simms' short plunge, and 49 yards, completed by Shorts' six-yard sweep. DARTMOUTH, Page 72 Columbia turns tables on Harvard By Joe Concannon Globe Staff NEW YORK Don Jackson, a poised, confident sophomore quarterback, and his band of hungry brothers served definite notice yesterday that Columbia, long a weak football sister in the Ivy League, has turned the corner and may be on its way back. Jackson gave a sound, frequently superb performance before 11,428 at aged Baker field, and fired a team heavily-weighted with sophomores to an upset 28 to 21 win over a Harvard team that showed signs of sluggishness after a day-long ride here Friday. Jackson, one of 11 sophomores in the two Columbia starting units, completed nine passes for 26 yards and two touchdowns and, in critical third dowm situations, came up with the play or the individual effort for first downs on 11 out of 16 times. Columbia notched its first win over Harvard in nine years and its first win over a member of the Big Three since a victory over Yale in 1965.

With two wins and a near-win a week ago against Princeton, Columbia is off to its best start since it shared the Ivy title with Harvard in 1961.

(AP) Strange plate incidents old hat in Cinci HAROLD KAESE BU slips past UMass on FG by Rapoport By Francis Rosa, Globe Staff AMHERST Fred Rapoport, a scrawny, mustachioed, kicking specialist from Framing-ham, kicked two field goals the second with 47 seconds to play to give Boston University a 13-1Q victory over UMass here yesterday.

Rapoport's winning kick was from 29 yards, high and true. Earlier in the last period he had -tied the score with a 36-yard field goal at 8:05. "I'm sure it will be a big thrill when it sinks in," he said after the game. Rapoport is the center on BU's dummy practice drills and doesn't work too long on place kicking. The-game, played before 9500 at Alumnt-Stadium, was a "comedy of errors that turned into a tragedy of errors for UMass" in the words of Coach Vic Fusia.

For BU Coach Larry Navi- -aux it was "a game we had to BU, Page 72 Three different versions from the three principals. Why didn't Carbo go back and tag the plate? "He'd already called me' out" said the runner. How did the umpire see the tag while he was falling? "I don't remember, but I did see it." If Burkhart did not see it, he shouldn't have called Carbo out. He should have said nothing, but he was in no position for cool, calm reflection. He was being double- teamed by a charging base-runner and a catcher who was desperately trying to get to him.

He was under duress, The run would have put the Reds ahead, 4-3, in the sixth and left them with two men still on base and only one out. But Cincinnati is a city for strange goings-on at home plate. It was here, at old Crosley Field, that Ernie Lombardi flopped and needed a derrick to hoist him up as Yankees ran around the bases in 1939. From the sound-proof press box here, it appeared that if Hendricks touched Carbo at all, it was with a mitt that did not have the ball in it The Reds were victims of a similar decision in Atlanta this season. One of them was called out when catcher Hal King tagged him with his mitt while holding the ball in his right hand.

Russ Gibson, it will be recalled, did that successfully to a Cardinals' base-runner at Fenway Park in the 1967 World Series. i This may be the way they play ball in Manchuria, but it's not the way it's supposed to be played in the motherland, especially by umpires striking to raise salaries that already may be too high. KAESE, Page 68 CINCINNATI -The Big Red machine had a fender ruined when the Orioles came from pehind to win the first game of the World Series, 4-3, and the echoes from the crash will reverberate through the canyons of baseball for many a year. What posterity will decide when all the evidence and testimony has been accumulated, sifted and weighed is a mystery, but at nightfall it seemed that the Reds had lost because an umpire kept one of their runners, from tagging the plate. He also kept a catcher from tagging the runner, but that was not the way he saw it as he called the runner out.

"A two-handed tag," said Ken Burkhart, the umpire who was caught in the middle of the action in the sixth inning. "He didn't tag me at all," said the runner, Bernie Carbo, who missed the plate because he hit the umpire trying to get to it. "I tagged him with one-hand," said the catcher, Elrod Hendricks.
