i i 'f tlosion bunday Uiobe November ly, la2 COLLEGE FOOTBALL Defense rescues Dartmouth; Foster ignites Harvard Ml w) itv if L' jky-f Goal-line stands deny Cornell 31-22 By Joe Concannon, Globe Staff ITHACA, N.Y. Up in the hills of Hanover. N.H., they have talked with understandable pride about the great defensive records established by the good Dartmouth football teams in recent years and how, on so many occasions, the defense has come to the rescue when Dartmouth needed it most. Well, if Dartmouth wins one more football game this season to wrap up its fourth straight Ivy League championship, they can point to the game Dartmouth played yesterday against Cornell in freezing Schoellkopf Field and say just about anything they want about the performance of the Dartmouth defense in its 31-22 victory over the Big Red. For what seemed like an interminable stretch of time, Dartmouth had its back against the wall but, on three successive sequences early in the second half, Dartmouth stopped Cornell on the seven yard line, the 12 yard line and the one inch line to give the team some great big reprieves.

After that, In the final, wild nine minutes and 56 seconds of the game, each side punched across two touchdowns and, when Rick Klupchak busted one 70 yards for the final Dartmouth touchdoiwn with one minute remaining, Dartmouth emerged with the win and breathed a giant sigh of relief. It may have been the most improbable of all the improbable Ivy games in this crazy season. Cornell, yesterday, played a superb defensive game and, in that second half, indeed seemed destined to win. You have to replay every play, really to appreciate what happened. And then you wonder.

The score was Dartmouth 17, Cornell 7 at the half. After an exchange of kicks. Cornell marched to the Dartmouth three. On third down, Barrett Rosser was thrown for a loss to the five. On a fourth down gamble, quarterback Mark Allen, rolling out right, slipped and fell on the artificial turf.

Cornell held and Pete Knight returned the ensuing punt to the Dartmouth 20. Bill Malone (27-for-128 yards) went up the middle on the next play and fumbled. (He hurt an ankle and never returned.) It was recovered for a gain to the 12 by Cornell. Allen was then nailed for two big losses. Bill Murray had to punt and the ball rolled dead at the one foot line.

Dartmouth promptly fumbled and Cornell again had it at the five. Dartmouth held on four successive plays and the drive expired at the once inch line. Klupchak proceded to quick kick it out on the next play. Cornell finally took it in and Allen hit George Milo-servic for the two point conversion. It was Dartmouth 17, Cornell 15 and Dartmouth had run only 12 offensive plays in the half.

The momentum, clearly, had swung but, given a chance to operate with field position, Steve Stetson brought Dartmouth to life. He engineered an 84 yard, time consuming drive, passing effectively over the middle to Chuck Thomas and big Greg Brown and took it over himself at the 10:50 mark of the fourth quarter. So what did Cornell do? Cornell moved 66 yards in nine plays, kicked an extra point and it was Dartmouth 24, Cornell 22 with 1:27 left. The onside kick attempt was recovered by Thomas. Two plays later, Klupchak caught Cornell in a desperation defensive blitz, cut over right tackle behind Doug Lind, put a fancy move on the sole Cornell safety and went 70 yards to end it and seal Cornell's bid for the Ivy-title.

The steady, dependable back picked up 131 yards on the day. "We kept coming back," said Cornell coach Jack Musick, "after making so many mistakes. But you've got to hand it to Dartmouth. We started to squeeze them and they had a lot of poise. They put together a good effort.

I don't think I can ever remember a tougher defeat. It was crushing. Klupchak clicks, Cornell checked 'Sucker play' TD runs submerge Brown, 21-14 By Ernie Roberts, Globe Staff It was typical of the poor gridiron fortunes which have dogged Brown football and brought the resignation of coach Len Jardine. His Bruin players, particularly defensive tackle Brian Ball, hit Harvard Stadium at an emotional peak yesterday, but left as losers again, 21-14, through a series of Crimson long-ball plays and weird misfortunes. Harvard heads into this week's Yale finale over .500 (4-3-1) because fullback Rod Foster (remember him?) broke for 84 and 29-yard "sucker play" touchdowns and end John Hagerty gratefully accepted a Brown handoff of Eric Crone's 33-yard scoring pass.

Pete Beatrice kept the Bruins alive with two second-half touchdown passes, including the longest in Brown football history, an 80-yard combination with flanker Chip Regine. But when converted linebacker Dan Walua fumbled in the foruth quarter going over the goal line, the Bears were dead for the day and Jardine's farewell in the Stadium was his saddest moment. The 10,000 spectators were drowsing through a sloppy first half when Foster unexpectedly broke away on the sixth-longest run in Harvard history. He hit on a delay over right guard, slipped through a half tackle at the scrimmage line and stayed behind a couple of good blocks to go all the way, 84 long yards. "It's our sucker play," explained the former quarterback who hadn't scored since the Princeton game two years ago.

"We pull our guard to the left, then delay back through his slot, hoping their left guard will go with the motion. I was able to keep my balance and outrun their last man." Foster also scored on the identical play from 29 yards out to give Harvard a 14-0 lead in the third period. Did his performance yesterday (159 yards in 13 rushes) make up for his previous disappointments "Well, let's just say I'm happy to be playing now and that the team is winning. I've finally realized I'm not at Harvard just to play football. I almost quit the team earlier this season but my father persuaded me against it," said Foster, a tremendously talented athlete who had carried the ball only 10 times prior to yesterday.

The battling Bruins came back with a touchdown only 25 seconds after Foster's second score and it was another spectacular. Beatrice, who had completed only four of 13 passes in the first half, dropped back from his 20 and fired deep right to flanker Regino at midf ield. Chip, the secondary receiver on the play, had made a short cut to his right, then gone deep. He was all alone, 10 yards beyond H's Bert Broyer. Even though he had to wait momentarily for the pass, Regino coasted into the end one effecting the longest pass play in Bruin history.

Now it was time for the weirdest play of the afternoon. Crone had driven his Crimson troops 40 yards to the B. 33. On third and eight there he passed deep right for end Hagerty. Brown safety Doug Jest had the pass in his sights all the way, timed his leap perfectly to pluck off the ball in the end zone.

But somehow the ball diverted from his grip to Hagerty who accepted it and the touchdown with a startled smile. The starry Beatrice from Swampscott was not conceding yet, even at 21-7. He drove his gang 89 yards in seven plays, tossing seven yards to end Jeff Smith on the first play of the final quarter for the TD. Brown then got two big breaks for a change. A 65-yard touchdown run by Crone was nullified by clipping and Ted DeMars promptly fumbled at his own 40.

Beatrice hit Smith up the middle for 30 yards, but with third down on the H. 2, Walus took the ball for the first time this season and fumbled to Harvard's Fred Smith when it appeared he had the tying touchdown. ran for two touchdowns, one an 84-yard jaunt, to pace Harvard to a 21-14 triumph. (Danny Go'shtigian photo) QUICK CUT Harvard's Rod Foster cuts sharply while picking up yardage against Brown yesterday. Foster Bogus Cornell paper panics hockey followers practice and everybody was packing their bags, pretending they were going home." Seaver Peters, the Dartmouth athletic director, was momentarily fooled when he arrived in town for the football game with Cornell Friday night.

He picked up a copy of the paper at a newsstand and caught the headline. "Hey," he said, "this can't be true. I'm the chairman of that ECAC committee." The kicker to the story was that the whole article was written by Cornell Daily Sun staff member Dave El-enbaas. Elenbaas also doubles as the Cornell goal-tender. "I told him," said Bertrand, "that the next time he does something like that, he can spend the day answering my phone." JOE CONCANNON ITHACA, N.Y.

A story in a bogus issue of the Cornell Daily Sun put out for the annual fall weekend by staff members of the paper caught the athletic community at Cornell a little off guard. The headline read, "ECAC Bans Canadian Hockey Players," and, at Cornell, that would mean the entire hockey team would be ineligible. The paper was picked up on the local newsstands, read, absorbed, and a few people panicked. "A lawyer," said Cornell hockey coach Dick Ber-trand, "called me at 9 in the morning and said he had an injunction already prepared. He said the ECAC couldn't do this and he was willing to fight it in court.

"My phone was ringing all day. You wouldn't believe how many people read it and believed it. Even the team picked it up. I walked into the locker room before Perm rally keeps Ivy title hopes alive The Quakers came back on a two-yard end run by Adolph Bellizeare as the first half whistle sounded, but the Quaker offense did not look impressive. Don Pinto, Penn's third quarterback of the day, then led the trailing Quakers into the third period with a quick scoring drive.

He picked up 17 yards on a keeper and passed to replacement halfback Ron Dawson on a 32-yard play before Dawson carried the ball over from the one. Part.

He got his second from the five-yard line on exactly the same play again diving for the corner. And he scored his third from the three-yard line. Each of those touchdowns was set up by a Princeton mistake.

The first came when Brian Magaziner called for a fair catch of a Yale punt, fumbled it and Jauron who else? recovered the ball at the 26. Jauron has another game to play next week at Harvard and Clarke has that game and another season to play. The victory kept Yale in the Ivy League chase along with Harvard, Penn, and let's see who else? Oh yes, Dartmouth, which can win it alone by beating Penn next week no matter what happens at Harvard Stadium. Jauron got his first touchdown on a SECOND PERIOD Harvard 7, Brown 0.

The low pass went between his legs and Kelly Peddicord recovered for Yale at the 21. And the third came when a short punt (30 yards) was returned to the 18.

Princeton had stopped Yale at the goal line when Yale forgot it had Jauron and then the Tigers had to punt. Yale didn't forget Jauron this time. He carried four times to score from the three. Yale got a 26-yard field goal from Clarke for a 17-0 lead early in the second period. Princeton then put together an offense for the first time and went 68 yards in 12 plays.

Quarterback Dave Mistretta began to connect with his passes and this loosened up the Yale defense which had been jamming the ground game. After Jauron's third touchdown put Yale ahead, 24-7, Roly Purrington became the Yale quarterback and passed the Elis 69 yards in seven plays for the 31-7 count. Jauron carried 16 times for 88 yards, and Tom Doyle and Purrington totaled 10 completions in 21 passes between them. Harvard will have its hands full next week. By Francis Rosa Globe Staff NEW HAVEN With four minutes to go in the first period the PA announcer at Yale Bowl said, "Dick Jauron has broken the Yale career scoring record with his 25th touchdown." Yale was lined up for the kickoff and two of Jauron's teammates at the 40yard line began to applaud.

That's how the Swampscott star rates with a classmate, Fred Danforth, and sophomore Don Vigli-one. Jauron had scored a touchdown before that to tie Calvin Hill's all-time mark and scored another later. The three-touchdown afternoon by Jauron led Yale to a 31-7 victory over a Princeton team that spent all afternoon fighting the ball. Princeton fumbled fair catches, kick-offs, and bumped Yale's pass receivers around too openly. When a team plays like that you know what happens it self destructs.

Yale had something to say about the destruction, too. And this Yale team pror duced another team record. Brian Clarke's 12th field goal of his career to break Chuck Mercein's record by one. Yole Princeton Yale 14. Princeton 0 Yale 31, Princeton 7 Rudy Green It-yard run ot Clarke kicked ooint.
