102 BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE November 2, 1975 4 BU's Rich kicks field goal, beats Holy Cross's failed goal, 3-0: By Barry Cadigan Globe Staff WORCESTER A football game that figured to be a high-scoring affair ran into a near gale at Fitton Field yesterday, and the surprising result was a 3-0 upset for Boston University over Holy Cross. Neither team, could mount any kind of a ground game, and so resorted to passing, even though the 30 mph winds turned the compact field into a swirling windbowl. But all the passing did help Dave Quehl set a Holy Cross single-game record with receptions. In evening its record at 4-4, BU displayed its finest defense of the year, according to coach Paul Kemp. They earned that praise by holding Holy Cross's running game to minus 47 yards.

The Crusader quarterback, Bob Martin, was sacked six times, losing 67 yards. The only score of the game was a 33-yard field goal by BU's Bruce, Rich at 14:47 of the first period. The kick was made with the wind. It came after a Holy Cross field goal attempt couldn't cope with the wind and fell short. The Rich field goal was set up by a 33-yard pass from Greg Geiger to Steve Richards that gave the Terriers a first down on the Cross 30.

BU then moved to the 16, and should have had a touchdown. But Peter Kessel, BU's leading receiver, dropped a Geiger pass in the open on the Holy Cross five. Martin was able to move the ball well with down-and-out passes to Quehl, the nation's No. 2 receiver. And when BU gave Jerry Easton help on Quehl, Martin would go to his tight end, Mark Massa.

Altogether, Martin hit on 23 of 46 passes for 223 yards. But when HC reverted to the ground game disaster. "The win was a factor throughout," said Kemp. "It was as difficult to throw with the wind as against it. A lot of those passes that were overthrown were because of the wind.

But we knew we weren't strong enough to run against them." That's why BU was still throwing throughout the second half while trying to protect the slim lead. Forjtunately, the Terriers got some running at the right time. Four times they were inside the Holy Cross 30 the last quarter, but failed to score. Craig Cerretani, the Holy Cross -punter, was able to keep BU at bay in the third quarter with some fine kicking against the gale. BU's Jim Berluti had much greater problems, punting for just a few yards when the wind became too much for him.

A defensive game had to turn on a defensive play, and that came on the last play of the third quarter. The Crusaders were driving and could look forward to the wind at their backs in the last quarter. Martin went back to pass as BU blitzed again. As Martin retreated from the rush, BU's right lineback-- er, Tom Furino, pinned his arms. Martin tried to pull free and lost thf ball.

BU's Tony Danckert fell on it -at his own 22. BU then moved the ball" into Holy Cross territory before giy-ing it up, and kept the Crusaders pinned back most of the fourth peri-" od. They were aided by a pair of: pass interceptions, one that Kevin I Graham almost turned into the game's only touchdown. I A BU gain with the wind I v-r 4 tl 1 tr "ii a fcl?

The University of New Hampshire hardly will think about servering relations with the University of Rhode Island after their football game yesterday. The Rams left three gifts strewn on Meade Field, and the Wildcats knew just what to do with them deposit them in the end zone for a 23-6 win. Halfback Rich Remondino of Rhode Island is finding out now how things even up. It used to be that Remondino tore up a lot of yardage without any trouble, but this year he has had problems. Either the handoffs are going wild or Rich's arms are getting shorter.

He lost two fumbles yesterday, and these were converted into UNH's first two touchdowns. Even then, the Rams weren't through being donors.1 In the fourth quarter, quarterback Steve Crone looked for his lanky receiver, Bill Britt, in the left flat. UNH's Dick Duffy was right there with Britt. Crone let the ball go anyway, and it was like throwing a smelt to a tuna. Duffy took it at the Rams' 32 and fled down the right sideline for the game's final TD.

New Hampshire is now 7-1 and looking ahead to its Yankee Conference showdown with UMass next week. The Rams are 2-6, and Remondino is wondering what's ahead of him. Yesterday it was Bill Burnham of the Wildcats who looked like the best back on the field. In fact, if it hadn't been for defender Jim Belviso, who seemed to be the only Ram who knew where Burnham was going, Rhode Island might have experienced real disaster. It wasn't a fun day for football.

The wind was whistling around the place all afternoon, and the fans who stayed looked like chunks of granite at the end. But Burnham seems to like rugged afternoons. He now has nine scores in the Yankee Conference, and 13 for the season. New Hampshire was supposed to win, but not so easily. On a delayed draw early in the first period, Remondino got to the line of scrimmage and spit up the ball at the 21, where the Wildcats' Rick Kelly fell on it.

Burnham had the ball in the end zone, on a two-yard dive, six plays later. Al Parchuck helped by getting the ball from the 14 to the seven. The same delayed draw got Remondino in trouble again at 5:56. The road was longer for the Wildcats, since Remondino fumbled at the 47. Dave Rozunek recovered this time.

Parchuck bit off ll yards on one rush, and Burnham eventually went over from the two. R.I. finally had the wind at its back in the second period, but only was able to produce a field goal of 34 yards by Wally Christensen. When Christensen kicked another field goal, of 32 yards, to make the score 13-6 in the third quarter, the bobbles didn't look as insurmountable. But lo, there came another problem in the fourth period when Crone went back to pass to Britt and Duffy was there at the 32.

After that, the N.H. fans just had to freeze it out to the end.

He had a 32-yard field, goal in the opening quarter and 20-yarder in. the third period, as well as two extra points. UMass quarterback Fred Kelliher took over for Brian McNally late in the third period when McNal-Jy dove for first-down yardage and suffered a hand injury.

McNally had to be helped the field, staggering Kelliher quarterbacked the Minu-temen for the remainder of the game. Croasdales game-winning kick came after" Western Illinois quarterback Paul Bowens fumbled on his own 15-yard line and rover Steve Te-lander recovered. Two running plays and an incomplete pass later, Massachusetts went ahead to stay.

On a third and ten from the 27-yard line of Western Illinois, McNally hit tight' end Lee Harri-man across the middle for a first down on the twelve. After safety B. J. Luke batted away a McNally lob in the end zone, the UMass quarterback zipped a pass to Mark for the score.

Three plays later Tom Dickerson came on to kick a 27-yard field goal that tied the score at in the half.

The try for two failed and Maine led 26-0, with just two minutes into the second half. Bear defensive end Gary Dow recovered a fourth-quarter Swicklas fumble on a fourth-down play at the Maine 42 and the hosts threatened again. Reserve back Mike Roberts, who picked up 47 yards in the game, ripped off left tackle for 13 and went off right tackle for 10 "more.
