i'WW W4l MWiVi 1, 5-21 rown bomber Michalko brings down house, 3 By Will McDonough Globe Staff PROVIDENCE It was his last game in Brown Stadium and Paul Michalko wanted to give them something to remember him by. "They've been calling me the the Ivy League for decades, which is now on the threshold of a championship. "This one is sweet," said Brown head coach John Anderson, the guiding hand behind the revived Brown football program. "But we have one big one left (with Columbia in New York next Saturday). I told the squad that's their date with immortality.

"We win that one, and get the championship, then they won't have to be talking about 50 years ago and the (Brown) Iron Men. They'll be talking about this team as the first to ever win an Ivy League title." By winning, Brown stands at 5-1 in the Ivy League, and 7-1 over-all. This leaves Brown tied at the top of the Ivy League with Yale, and the final game for both teamss next week left to decide the title. But this victory over Dartmouth is also one to treasure. Brown had lost to Dartmouth every season since 1955, and had respect for that fact entering this game.

"I think Dartmouth is by far the best team we've played this year," said Anderson. "We put in some things for this game with our offense, and they became a big factor for us in scoring the way we did. And we needed those points because Dartmouth has such a fine offense, as we saw near the end of the game." Brown, with a 21 -point second quarter, blew out to a 28-7 lead at half, built it to 35-7 in the third, and then held on as Dartmouth dominated the final period of play. "I was worried when we were leading 35-21 and they had the ball on our 10 with five minutes left," said Michalko, "they had taken the momentum completely away from us. I thought we could have come back and scored again if we needed it, but you never know." As it turned out, what Michalko and his two fine wide receivers, Bob Farnham and Charlie Watkins, did in shattering the Dartmouth secondary in the first half was enough.

"I think every touchdown pass we had," said Michalko, "came from an automatic call at the line of scrimmage. Our coaches gave me some good reads of their defense before the game, and when I saw them coming we adjusted." W7hat Brown wanted to take advantage of, and did, was Dart-1 mouth's defensive gamble of playing man-to-man coverage in the secondary. "We didn't think they could handle our receivers man to man," said Anderson. Michalko and Farnham, who became Brown's all-leading receiver in the game when he caught 12 passes to bring his career total to 106, ripped Dartmouth apart in the first half. Farnham caught nine passes in the first two periods for 149 yards and two touchdowns.

He also threw TD passes to Watkins (40 yards) and Joe Mixie (33 yards). Mickalko was 19 for 29 for 314 yards, and notched a Brown record with his four TD passes. Kevin Case, the excellent Dartmouth quarterback, also likes to put the ball in the air. He threw 43 times for 282 yards and two touchdowns on 23 completions. But it wasn't enough to match the Mad Bomber Michalko.

"Now I have a nice way to remember my last game on this field." Mad Bomber around here," said Brown's senior quarterback, "but I really haven't been until today." And Michalko went out and gave .17,100 Brown faithful something to remember him by for a long time as he fired four touchdown passes on way to bombing Dartmouth, The victory was one of the biggest ever for Brown, the doormat of Michalko magnifique Harvard solves Penn but Kubacki injured 4 ProvtdMtcft TEAM STATISTICS FIRST DOWNS: Dart. 22 9 10 3 44 149 43 25 262 0 17 4 11 2 38 96 314 29 19 1 RUSHING: Attempts.

INDIVIDUAL LEADERS Rushing By Bob Ryan Globe Staff PHILADELPHIA This was your basic visit-to-the-dentist game, a scheduled Harvard appointment sandwiched in between emotional slices of bread entitled "Brown" and "Yale." Joe Restic is haptpy merely to have survived. "Penn can score points in a hurry," Restic said when it was over.

"I'm very happy to get this one behind us." Penn coach Harry Gamble should also be glad this particular game was over. Coaches don't ordinarily derive much pleasure watching their teams turn the ball over eight times and gift wrap 20-8 victories for the other side. The Harvard offense hardly had to work, for two main reasons. The first was that the defense kept handing them the ball in almost sinful spots on the couldn't do something when they keep taking over in places such as the other guy's 15, 23 and 16 yard lines? The second reason was the fact that whenever things bogged down during the first half, Jim Kubacki was there to make something up. The fenior quarterback was at his elusive best, rolling out, sprinting out and scrambling around at will before he had to leave the game with a back injury (displac-ed trarisverse process) with 1:46 left in the first half.

The score at the time was Harvard 17, Penn 0. Kubacki is in pain, but he is not in serious physical danger, and the word is that as long as he canstand the pain, he can play in The Game next Saturdays Back-up quarterback Tim Davenport he hasn't played all year" Restic) was unable to move the team in the second half, and it would be very hard to envision the Crimson handling Yale without Kubacki. A crowd of 8423 sat in on this affair played on a windy, but sunny afternoon, and they certainly had nothing to cheer about. Penn did manage to keep Harvard from scoring in the openim? and had an excellent chance to grab an early leStd', itself. A Crimson boner on a Penn fair catch' Qhieman Mike Beniger bumped into Penn receiver Kevin 'Tyler) gave the home team a first down at the Harvard 33 with 4:53 left in the first period.

On a second-and-10 at the Harvard 19, however, linebacker Tom Joyce stepped in front of a pass shouldn't have been thrown" Gamble) and made the first of six Harvard interceptions, the most by the Crimson in 30 years. Joyce returned the ball to the 38, whereupon' Kubacki took the team down to the Penn three in 10 'plays. Mike Lynch kicked a 20-yard field goal to opeii'the scoring three minutes into the second quarter. Thus was launched what had to be Penn's most-forgettable period of the season. Before it was ovei the Quakers would turn the ball over four more timesHar-vard's Gary Taubes, Bdb Baggott what a game this 'defensive end played and captain Bill Emper would all recover fumbles, while Emper would make a Spectacular drive-killing, diving interception at the Harvard five just before the half.

And Harvard would own a 17-Olead. Both scores were made by Kubacki. His first touchdown was a two-yard roll-out at 7:36 of the period. This capped a 15-yard, four-play "drive" begun when Taubes pounced on a botched pitchout from Penn Quarterback Bob Graustein to halfback Johnny Mason. Penn took the ensuing kickof and advanced no farther than its 28 when more bad things began to hatppen.

First tackle Steve Kaseta nailed Graustein for a nine-yard loss on second-and-five, then Craig Renfrow fumbled after making a four-yard gain, and Baggott recovered at the 23. A play-action pass to tight end Bob McDermott provided the Crimson with one first down; Tommy Winn (17 carries for 79 yards) moved the ball to-the eighth; and Kubacki rolled left and slithered in for the final Harvard TD.

Tom Joyce had intercepted pass it his own 18 and run the ball back to the 38. Key play: A combined Tom Winn run and lace-mask penalty that gave Harvard 27 yards and a first and goal at the Penn 9.

Harvard 10, Penn 0 Crimson capitalized on another turnover as Jim Kubacki completed 15 yard, four-play drive by rolling out from the two. (PAT: Lynch kick.) Gary Taubea recovered a botched pitchout attempt on the Penn 15. Kubacki finished off the drive with 7:1 4 left in the half. Harvard 17, Penn 0 Penn came up with a third damaging turnover when Craig Renfrow fumbled and Bob Baggott recovered at the Penn 23. Kubacki scored three plays later on an eight-yard rollout with 3:34 left In the quarter.

Drive of 16 yards was set up when Bob Baggott intercepted a pass at midtleld and returned it 34 yards. Harvard 20, Penn Denis Groavenor's one-yard plunge with 1:44 left in the game capped a 10-play, 64-yard march. The big plays were successive pass completions of 14, 11 and 15 yards from Bob Graustein to Tim Kelly, Ed Wood and Kelly; a diving first down reception by Phil Avila for a first down at the Harvard seven; and a pass Interference call in the end zone, which gave Penn a first down at the Crimson one.

Burns twice connected with flanker Dave McAvoy, once for 25 yards in the first quarter and again for 16 yards in the fourth period. Burns ran one yard for a second-quarter score as the Lions raised their record to 3-5 for the season and 2-4 in the Ivies.

Oddly, Burns was only 3-for-6 on the day. Fullback Jerry Fitzpatrick gained 104 yards in 16 carries for the Lions. Cornell scored first on a one-yard run by Joe Holland following a fumble recovery, but Burns's first ing pass to McAvoy tied the score and his one-yard run at 6:21 of the second period capped an 80-yard drive that put Columbia ahead. Cornell, which suffered its seventh defeat in eight games, tied the score again on a four-yard run by Neal Hall. But Columbia's Paul McCormick sprinted 49 yards to put Columbia in front to stay, 21-14, in the second period.

McCormick, a junior who entered the game after starter Bruce Stephens sprained his ankle in the first period, gained 130 yards in 15 carries.

Randy Carter missed the extra point, and an 8-0 lead didn't seem very safe.

Only in the second period, when Yale put together an 81-yard drive in 11 plays, all but one on the ground, was the die cast. John Tatem's six-yard power sweep up the middle set the tone for the rest of the day. Power rushing through the Tigers' tender underbelly (for 388 yards), stingy defense and complete command of field position. Princeton gained 29 yards on the ground, and most, of that against the Yale reserves in a fourth-quarter touchdown drive, "We were fortunate to win last week against Cornell," said Cozza, who said he would make a decision after the season on whether he would give up coaching to take over the job of athletic director on a full-time basis. "And we felt the Princeton team was just as capable as Cornell.

But that game might have been a blessing in disguise, for we really came out fired up. And after we scored again in the third period, it took a little of the fire out of Princeton. We started to score." By Larry Whiteside Globe Staff NEW HAVEN Every Yale senior knew what this game meant. The juniors and sophomores, too. So they made their final performance of the year at the Yale Bowl a brilliant one.

And their 39-7 victory over Princeton was every bit as impressive as the score indicates. "We were really up for this one," said junior running back John Pagliaro. "The seniors knew it would be their last game at the Bowl. And we think it might be the last one here for coach Carm. The intensity was there you could see it and feel it." But most of the 33,218 in attendance were'not talking about coach Carm Cozza, who might be stepping down, but about Pagliaro, who scored three touchdowns to lead the Eli to their seventh victory of the year, fifth in the Ivy League.

Pagliaro has 15 touchdowns this season breaking the Yale record of 14 held by Calvin Hill, and Pagliaro has gained 892 yards. But he was a secondary story to the play of Yale as a team, only one more heart-stopping game with Harvard at the Stadium from at least a share of the Ivy League title. Pagliaro gained 95 yards in 23 carries and deserved the praise. But the real tale yesterday was how Yale pulled itself together so that the coach would have his final chance for the one that has escaped him for two straight years. "We hadn't played well against Cornell," Cozza said, "and I was worried because Princeton has a tough defense.

But we really played well as a team today, everybody. It was no doubt our best performance of the season. Offense, defense, everybody. Princeton (2-6) did not figure as a major obstacle to Yale's title march, but their defense was of some concern to the Eli staff. After seven minutes of the first quarter, the only reason Yale was on the board was because of a high snap on fourth down that led to a safety.

Princeton kicker Bill Stein fell on the ball in the end zone. Even an eight-play drive, covering 48 yards, which led to Pagliaro's first touchdown run of the day, a two- Player (School) Att. Yds.
