ryiiy 70 xjitolon bun -ay Globe October 7, 1973 Harvard sputters, but 3 Tetirick field goals drop Terriers, 16-0 By Ernie Roberts winds and a maturing BU defense rirettv mur-h stm Globe Staff A kicking specialist out of Columbus, Ohio, pushed past Charley Brickley on Harvard's all-time kick-scoring list yesterday and. that was the only notable item during the Crimson's 16-0 triumph over Boston University. Senior Bruce Tetirick thumped over three field goals (35, 35, 21 yards) to boost his career point total to 80, three more than the legendary Brickley. (He's still 17 behind leader Richie Szaro.) Stadium historians estimated that not since Brick-ley's day (1912-14) had a Crimson kicker made three field goals in one game. But don't read anything immortal into yesterday's windblown exhibition as the 13,000 spectators and even coach Joe Restic will attest.

After Harvard scored the first time it had possession on a nifty 13-yard passing combination between Jim Stoeckel and Pat Mclnally the constant, gusty Harmon Hudson pass brought the ball to Harvard's 17, but clipping, holding and illegal motion penalties moved BU back to fourth down and 29 at midf ield. A bit later the Terriers moved 72 yards to the Harvard nine but Harvard captain Dave St. Pierre then intercepted a pass at his eight and rambled all the way back to the BU seven, the fifth longest interception return in Crimson history. It was Harvard, 10-0, at the end of 12 minutes, 13-0 after three quarters and Tetirick's third field goal with 2:30 to play accounted for the final margin. The main thorn in the Crimson's side was BU defensive guard and tackle Dave LaRoche.

This 213-pound junior from Gardner made 12 unassisted tackles and recovered a fumble. "We just couldn't block the guy," said Restic. A word of praise should, go to BU punter John An the Crimson attack; "We had to change our game plan completely after we realized how strong the wind was," explained Harvard coach Joe Restic. "The wind was blowing our pitch-outs behind the runner and then we ran into some quarterback-center fumbles on the snap. They weren't on the count." Seven fumbles, four going over to BU, harnessed Harvard.

Ninety-five yards in penalties hurt BU. "Some of our sophomores reacted with mistakes to the pressure situations," said new BU coach Paul Kemp. "Yet the kids hung tough in there and I'm very proud of our defense." For the poor BU offense, frustration once again was the word. The Terrier offensive unit hasn't scored a touchdown in its three games. In yesterday's fourth period, a George Jerina to derson.

He had to kick eight times in the Stadium wind-tunnel and averaged 40 yards despite enormous rush pressure by Crimson defenders. He made only one mistake. On his first punt attempt he tried to run and was stopped a yard short of first down at his 35 by Harvard sophomore George Newhouse. Stoeckel brought Harvard a touchdown from there in only five plays. The scorer was -a rollout left by Stoeckel at his 13 and then a quick pitch to Mclnally in the left end zone.

"That was an individual call to Pat, allowing him to go one on one with the BU halfback," said Jim. "I thought we'd run BU off the field after that early one but they played us tough the rest of the way. Harvard, now 2-0, has a lot of work to do on offense before hosting Columbia next week. Defense? Let's just say it didn't let down much from its opening performance against UMass. i 'wni, nltm, mnmL BU stubborn, Crimson finds Hungry Crusader freshmen put bite on Dartmouth, 10-0 Harvard BU FIRST DOWNS Total 15 11 Rusbina 9 4 Passing 5 3 Penalties 1 4 RUSHING Attempts 51 40 Yards sained 191 119 Yards lost 44 42 Net yards gained 147 77 PASSING Yards attempted 102 54 Passes attempted 16 24 Completed 9 6 Had intercepted 0 2 TOTAL OFFENSE Yards 249 131 Ploys passing rushina 67 64 Average gain per play 3.7 20 PUNTING of punts 6 8 Punting average 33.7 40 0 Punts returned 3 1 Yards returned 12 18 KICKOFFS No.

1'; JL 1 1 h' i- i 1 iM "Hepatitis," yelled Holy Cross senior Chuck Dyer, the only player lejt from that illness-wrecked team that in its last game of 1969 lost 36-6 to Dartmouth, "remember hepatitis. They rubbed our faces in the mud then. And today theirs are buried in it." By Peter Gammons Globe Staff HANOVER, N.H. This was a game that may tell us a lot about both teams. Holy Cross turned around from its previous week's humiliation, threw in a horde of freshman savages and did something it has wanted to do for a long time.

It completely shut off Dartmouth, which had gone longer than anyone in the country without being shut out, and stomped off with an emotional 10-0 victory before 15,700 at Memorial Field. In many ways, this was a strange game. It was played as if there was a hurricane, only it was a day ordered by the New Hampshire Chamber of Commerce. And for loyal Dartmouthites, whose team had not lost here in 17 games (1968), had not been shut out in 109 games (1960) and who had three straight Ivy titles, this was a tipoff. This is the year a lot of-people CAN get the Big Green.

"That," said coach Jake Crouthamel after watching countless mistakes and breakdowns, "is the poorest excuse for an offensive team I've ever seen." Part of it was due to the Holy Cross defensive unit, which, with four freshmen, overpowered Dartmouth and made a second-quarter Jerry Kelley field goal and a final drive, culminating in a Peter Vaas to Bill Campbell touchdown pass, stand up. Quite a turnaround after the 63-34 loss the week before when Temple rolled up 540 yards. "Those freshmen were fantastic for us," said coach Ed Dc-herty. "They were great. This was a game we really wanted to win.

It is comparable to the Harvard win." "The Harvard win" was the 1970 21-14 upset, the first game coming off the hepatitis. "To me," said senior defensive tackle Jim Griffin, "This one was even bigger. It proves we are good." The four freshmen who played so well were 6-4, 230-pound Carl Matasavage at defensive end; 6-3, 230-pound John Trimbach at tackle; Mark Vollman at linebacker; and Dave Frenette at tackle. All four came up with big plays as Dartmouth could muster only 268 yards total offense less than half of what Temple did the week before. Kelley hit his 40-yard field goal with the wind midway through the second quarter, capping a drive that began on the 30.

HC was able to move pretty well throughout the first half, thanks to Doherty's move of senior cornerback Tyree Blocker to tailback where he picked up 84 yards in a half. But he got his knee banged up and star tight end Mark Sheridan also got hurt. So Vass and a couple of other freshmen stepped forward. The two freshman running backs, Jiim Haldeman (no relation) and Grant Keith, both ran well. Haldeman picked up 40 of the 80 yards on the final drive that put it away, finished off with an 11-yard pass, which Campbell caught at the five and, when it appeared he was tackled, slipped away.

1 That missed tackle was typical of the afternoon for Dartmouth; which is now 0-2 and wobbling. They drove to the 16 and 23 and Ted Perry missed field goals. They got inside the 30 twice in the first half and had penalties turn them around. In the third period they had a good drive to the 34 and quarterback Tom Snickenberger threw away a pitch. They got inside the 40 in the final period and on a penalty and a sack were on the 50.

Add to this three interceptions, four fumbles and 122 yards in penalties not to mention serious offensive line inexperience And it was a great 'day' Holy Cross. "Today," Doherty said to his (4-1) club, "we came of age." Second Period No Scoring- Third Period Harvard 13, BU 0.

Brown, now 0-1, rolled to a 20-7 lead midway through the second quarter as Bob McNamara ran 11 yards for one touchdown, Bill Kairit caught a nine-yard scoring pass and Joe Violanti kicked two field goals, in-; eluding an Ivy record 48-yarder.
