a bang leaves UMass in dust, 24-7 got into the act in 21-7 triumph Texas 31. BC moved it to thr 26 and Fred Stinfoit came in and kicked a 43-yard field goal at the 32:5 mark to make it Texas 7, BC 3. Roaches ran the kickoff back 48 yards to the BC 49. Texas fumbled. Steve Turner recovered at the 34 and BC moved it out to the Texas 40 and punted into UMass quarterback Pcil Pennington 1 I 1 I band and Harvard's "own" cheerleaders opinod thr game with a bombshell.

He timk the kickolf with one foot in the end zone, ran behind a wall to the right and was never touched he raced 100 yards for a 7-0 start, 14 seconds into the game. Rut Texas became a fumbling team and defensive end Pat Bentzel recovered the first of three first-quarter fumbles on the vard's defense, a lot more advanced and sophisticated than the offense, stunted a lot in the line and put a lot of bliting pressure on both passer Pennington and punter Andy Dutka-nicz. They got to Pennington for four sacks and four tips and sacked his backup. Fred Kellihrr, once and intercepted him once. The rush put on punter Dutka-nicz forced sliced kicks that set up the first touchdown and the third (Miller).

On attack the Crimson showed more formations than the Rockcttes, but executed pretty shakily until they got organized. I may have lost count, but along the way I identified in Mr. Rcstic's offensive rrjiertoirc a pro a wing T. a slot T. a ill house and a slotted of a character difficult to del.

ne. Whatever they resorted to, they executed it well oitrn enough to bury the UMass opiosition on the yardage charts by 406 yards to 136. The inevitable first-game bloopers cropped up, like fumbles on their own 13 and 23 that UMass was htlo-less to convert into even three-pointers. The mobile Harvard defensive unit simply swarmed over them in the clutch. Thty estimated 19.100 in attendance.

It was Cambridge Day at the Stadium, with the townies coming aboard at $1 per head at the invitation of the HAA. There were a lot of them. They were still lined up at the old field house ticket windows when the first quarter ended on a UMass high note of 7-0. It looked like a cas of Gown waiting on Town. When their neighbors finally got seated Harvard really wont to work.

Alky Tsitsos and Miller started to run. and Jim to throw, and tall Patrick Mclnally to catch. And that was it, baby. 13. over UMass.

Texas had a chance to tie it at the start of the second quarter after moving it to the BC eight. Randy Haddox missed a field goal 'A a does some scrambling.

(Frank O'Brien photo) And so Turcotte sent Big Red out for the kill. "When he went by us," said Velasquez, "I thought we were gone then. But I just let him run his own way. I shook him up a little when Secretariat moved out but when we straightened out I asked him for more and he had it He pulled out and just kept running." The bewildered Turcotte said. "I just don't know what happened to him.

To be sure. Secretariat had a clean shot at all the marbles to be exact at the top of the lane. Turcotte had looked back over his left shoulder repeatedly, assessing his opposition and seeing what they had left for the drive to the wire. The French-Canadian rider had attempt from the 15 and BC proceeded to go on an 80-yard drive that took 14 plays and ate up 6:19 on the scoreboard clock for a 17-7 lead that nobody here was ready for. RC, after playing it conservatively a week ago in a 21-16 loss at Tu-lanc, opened it up on this drive with quarterback Gary Marangi running an option and passing effectively to 'lanker Howie Richardson and split end D.ive Zunibach.

A 48-yard fly pattern pnss to flanker Mel Briggs was nullit.ed by an illegal motion penalty. Maianti completed five passes in the drive. He hit Zumbach on screen pass that was good for 16 yards and a first down at the Texas Richardson caught three passes. The third gave BC a first down at the seven. Keith Barnctte was caught for a two-yard loss and Marangi dumped one over the middle to Zunibach for the score at 8:05.

Texas then proccded to go on a drive of its own that covered 72 yards in 13 plays. Texas stayed nn the ground for all but one play and that was the one that hurt. Jay found big end Dick Osborne over the middle on a play that covered 20 yards for a first down at the 12. Skip Walker ran it in from two yards out at the 13:28 mark and it wound up BC 17, Texas 14 at the half. Texas had a 209-149 yard total offense edge.

BC gained 92 yards on the ground and 57 in the air. Mike Ksnosito picked up 51 yards on 15 carries for BC. The Aggies went ahead 21-17 at 6:16 when Alvin Bowers put on a clicked from 17 yards out. Texas was in poor field position with a first-and-15 situation on its own 15, but scored in five plays. The big one was a 53-yard pass from Jay to Roaches to the BC 32.

Skip Walker set up the score with a nine-yard run to the BC 17 and Bowers just sailed by everyone. The L'agles didn't panic, but couldn't move the ball and were forced to punt. Ditto for A and M. Ditto for B.C. Late in the period A and took possession on the BC 40, moved to the nine in four plays and then the Kagles made a superb goal-line stand.

Big Red well out in the middle of the strip and Prove Out was just inside of him, both in the best part of the track. It appeared to be Secretariat's horse race from that point. But Velasquez reached for the reserve speed in Prove Out and found it Turcotte tried desperately to get Secretariat back in the hunt but Big Red came up empty, as if he were a dead short horse on conditioning. Cougar 2d just didn't have it and finished another 11 lengths astern under Willie Shoemaker, then came Amen 2d and Summet Guest. The second place money was worth $23,804 and hiked Secretariat's earnings to 1.155.893.

He now is seventh on the list of all-time money winning horses, moving ahead of Cougar 2d whose $12,934 for third put him at $1,152,725. Kelso is on top with $1,977,896. By Joe Concannon Globe Staff COLLEGE STATIOX, Tex. Boston College, a seven point underdog, scored 15 points with 2:08 remaining in the game to defeat Texas 32-24, last flight before 36,317. Carl Roaches, the tiny guy that BC coach Joe Yukica feared the most on the Texas team, for Stoeckle to knock UMass for 191 yards in the air.

Stoeckle threw for all three touchdowns, two similar running passe-. of seven yards to fullback Neal Miller, after he broke the ice with Mclnally. He came from 0-7 on the scoreboard to a 14-7 lead at the half the mark of a solid quarterback and wasn't hesitanMobrcak for the corners on keepers in the clutch. It was Stoeckle's two hits M-I-nally, for 23 and 18 yards, that let Harvard penetrate for Tetirick's 34-yard field goal late in the third period, the points that iced the game. In the battle of QBs, Stoeckle came out ahead of the tall and terrific Pennington of UMass.

completing 13 of 19 for 191 yards and three TDs to 8-23 112 and one score. But Pennington simply was r.iven minimal chance to operate.

But Prove Out's defeat of Big Red has to rate with the Titar.ic's loss to the iceberg.

The Az length decision, though, was a colossal hit with high-cost-of-living victims who wagered their deuces on Prove Out and collected $34.40. It was at Belmont that Secretariat, just two weeks ago, had run the fastest mile-and-an-eighth 1 :45 2-5th on dirt and proved to his detractors that he did have the credentials to hang it on hi older adversaries. But trainer Allen Jerkens, who proved that Secretariat "was human 'By Jerry Nason Globe Staff Surprise, surprise! Harvard spotted UMass's Yankee Conference champs a three-game head start into the '73 football season and beat 'em 24-7 in the Stadium opener yesterday. Made it look easy and that was the biggest surprise of all. "The Johns- Came on hard after UMass hit them with a quick one at 4:31, receiver Ed Hajdusek going up for a Peil Pennington pass with two defenders and coming down alone with the ball to sprint into the Crimson end zone on a 46-yard scoring play.

From there on, the sophisticated Harvard defense gave Pennington a very bad time and left his ball carriers with no place to go. Then the Crimson took the wraps off its own arm, Jim Stoeckle, and the Grim Reaper, 6-6 wide receiver Pat Mcl-nally. A promisins! sophomore in '72, Mclnally cmc on in lvs first fame as a junior like a Don Hut-on wi'h a boarding-house reach. He had eight catches on the day one for the tying touchdown in the second quar-ter and another on an underthrown ball that he reached back to one-hand as the Johns drove to a Bruce Tetirick field goal and a 17-7 lead in the third period Mclnally embossed his presence on the game with such authority that, wherever he went following that 21 -yard touchdown catch to create a 7-all deadlock, he took a lot of anxious UMass people along with him. This was an important psychological factor because it is a little easier for the Harvard runners to roll up 215 yards on the ground and Prove Out By Sam McCracken Globe Staff NEW YORK Another horse from Hobeau made Secretariat look like a bum.

The Social Register super horse whom the proletariat have adopted, had his ears pinned back by Hobeau Farm's obscure Prove Out in the $108,200 Woodward Stakes yesterday at Belmont Park. Thus, for the second time in seven weeks, Big Red had the big orange colors of Wall Streeter Jack Dreyfus's establishment blind him in the stretch. Onion, who also was not an established stakes performer, was the other Dreyfus Devil to kick the stuffing out of the colt whose conformation and classic acceleration prompted Pimlico official Chick Lang to exclaim, "It's as if God had made the perfect horse. Aaron hits 7J'ilh; oik; more lies Balm- I'iie92 Bruins lop Hawks, 15-2, story, lie Bed Sox win, 9-1, Pac 92 Secretariat in stunning Woodward upset Perhaps the majority of the crowd of 32.117 that established Secretariat an overwhelming favorite at 30 cents to the dollar wished trainer Lucien Laurin had not scratched Riva Ridge, who had to sit this one out because of the track conditions. Whether Riva, himself a holder of distinguished records in the classics including a mile-and-three-six-teenth world record of 1:52 25, would have shown a marked disdain for the chocolate pudding is conjecture.

But at least he would have insured his Gold Dust twin an honestly swift pace which was not there in the Woodward. For the yet to be proven Prove Out went out the first quarter in 25 seconds and the half-mile in 50 seconds and that is not exactly race- horse time. Ronnie Turcotte knew it and so did Prove Out's chauffeur, Jorge after all, 13 an accomplished professional horseman. Off cold dope Prove Out really had no license to do what he did to Secretariat yesterday. In his last race a week ago the Chesapeake Stakes at Bowie Prove Out had finished seventh, beaten 15 lengtns after hitting the inside rail when he was on the lead in the stretch.

That was only a mile-and-an-eighth, though, and the Woodward is a mile-and-a-half, designed for only those who have the fortitude to cover that demanding terrain. But Prove Out not enly dried out the sloppy gOin; but also established a stakes record of 2:25 4-5 for the 20th running cf this cvenL It was far off Secretariat's world mark of 2:24 set in the Belmont but Prove Out have to run it any faster yesterday..
