LwLiI SLItliAY GLOiii. UrUi 77 a 17 on res mrfaces mm 9 By Joe Concannon Globe Staff T' As he stood there, clutching a can of Coke in one hand. Mike Fallon talked about what it was like going "from the bottom to the top" in two weeks. "I re-- JalIy feel great about playing today," he on. "That's why I went to college.

ly disappointed! They looked at it the next morning and it wasn't as bad as they thought." For Fallon, 24, the entire odyssey, from the five years he spent playing for Hanna Club in the Boston Park League through two seasons at Ferrum Junior College in Virginia and three seasons at UMass, was all wrapped up in a tidy package in the gloom of Harvard Stadium. "I played, my freshman year at Catholic Memorial," said Fallon, "but I Ijroke my arm. I never played in high school again. I had bad grades. Academics.

When I got out of high school, I didn't have any idea of playing football. One guy asked me if I was interested in playing college football. I went to Fer-i rum Junior College and I sent some films around. UMass was interested." Given thegreen light to return to three weeks," said Fallon. "That's the first time we used it." Schubarth, a key man in a strong and effective offensive line said, "All I did was block at the contain man.

In the first half, we didn't come off the ball as well as we did in the second half." On the ensuing kickoff, Bob Kin-chen ran back 95 yards for an apparent Harvard touchdown. Earlier in the run, though, Harvard was called for a clip. Harvard had to start its drive at its 28 and, after that, Harvard crossed mid-field only three more times. On two occasions, Todd Holt of UMass picked off passes by starting quarterback Larry Brown (at the UMass 22 in the third quarter) and backup Burke St. John (at the Harvard 39 in the fourth quarter.) "I was sitting in the right place," said Holt.

"A lot of the credit has to go to the line. They put practice earlier in the week. UMass coach Dick MacPherson decided to start him against Harvard and, when the day was over, UMass had dealt Harvard its first shutout in the Stadium since 1965 and its first in 28 games. In a first half punctuated by turnovers, UMass took a 7-0 lead when Fallon hit Dennis Dent with a pass in the left flats and, picking up a key block at the line of scrimmage from tackle Ross Schubarth, Dent cut upfield and went 69 yards for a touchdown 23 seconds into the second quarter. "It was a 23 screen to the split end," said Dent.

"We ran it in practice all week. I was supposed to cut in, then cut out I got a great block from Ross. I stayed on the inside. I ran for the goal-line. I got in the game last year (Harvard won, 24-13) and fumbled.

Today we put it all together. Both ways." "We had that play in our offense for men that included Schubarth, Gerry' Greene, Mike McLaughlin, Bruce Kara-1 ball, Jim Penta and Kevin Cummings. i In particular, Kimball, a guard who re-1 quently pulled out on sweeps, was' superb. With quarterback Tim Davenport i ruled out for the season only last Wednesday night with a neck injury, Harvard coach Joe Restic turned to Brown, who had no previous varsity i experience. Harvard was able to generate only 132 yards total offense and it 1 may have represented a low in the Res- tic era.

"I'm very, very said Restic. "I'm particularly disappointed about being shutout. We tried to take some of the pressure off. It's like start- ing all over again. We have to find a quarterback who can move the team.

Nobody has emerged. But' UMass played a good, solid game." 1 so much pressure on them it was easy for us." "I said at half time that seven points is an awful big advantage on a day like this," said MacPherson. "That and the drive we had at the start of the third period were the big things. though we didn't get any points, we regained field position. And our defense was super." After that UMass drive was blunted by a Bill Coleman fumble at the three, Harvard was unable 'to move it out.

Punting from his end zone, Jim Curry had problems and shanked it out to the 20. Six plays later, Coleman took it in from the two and UMasS had a 14-0 lead. Dave Croasdale added a 20-yard field goal at 6:05 of the final quarter. A bigger team physically, UMass dominated the line of scrimmage. "We only passed three times," said Fallon, who preceded to run down a list of line- lo play football, i thought my life was over." If he over-dramatized it a bit, it was afe to say when he led the University of Massachusetts to a 17-0 win over Harvard yesterday in the drizzle and cold of Harvard Stadium, he was enti-' tied to feel a trifle elated.

Strong at evjery position but one quarterback. He had no one who had ever thrown a varsity pass. Then along came Mark Whipple.

Yesterday, against tradi- tional intrastate rival University of Rhode Island, he shjowed that the performance was no fluke, running for two touchdownscompleting four of seven passes inthe rain and scrambling for numerous key first dawns as Brown drummed URI, 28-10, for the 52d time in the 63-game series that started in 1909.

Rizzo completed nine of 13 tosses lo set up Yale's first two touchdowns.
