UMass appeared a little ragged when, four plays later, Jin. Hughes made one of Rutgers' three interceptions and returned it 26 yards to the Massachusetts 10. On the first play from scrimmage speedster Dave Dorn. who scored the Scarlet Knights' first touchdown on a 46-yard pass from Bob Hering, stepped around Duncan Gillan on a flanker reverse and went down the right sideline to make it 21-3. And that, basically, was the end of UMass's four-game victory streak.

The Minutemen did manage a final touchdown midway through the period but could do little more with a Rutgers defense that allowed them 173 total yards. Massachusetts in seven previous games had averaged 330 yards. "We had decent field position, but we just weren't able to sustain anything," said Pickett. "Rutgers had a great defense and an excellent punter (Deron Cherry, 39.8 average).

Massachusetts, however, was offside, giving Rutgers a first down at the 3. Two plays later, Rutgers scored a touchdown making the score The final tally would end up 21-11, but it was that offside penalty that would be remembered later, despite the fact that Rutgers dominated the statistical columns as it won its seventh in a row. "You have to think that's the play right there," said UMass coach Rob Pickett. "We practice blocking field goals all week, and we continually warn our kids about going offside." That touchdown, a 3-yard pass from Ed McMichael to tight end George Carter, seemed to take its toll on the sold as a sure cure for insomnia as the two teams i-ombined for 14 punts. Hntgers took a 7-0 lead when Dorn beat Steve LcMay down the right sideline at 7:52.

UMass made it 7-3 later in the same period when Sandro Vitielio heoied a 41 yard field goal. Then came the 22-point scoring spree in the fianl period, initmted by the ('Mass olfside on the missed field goal.

TUES W0, SAT I0AM-SPM IHURS. fRI tOAM-SM ONE SLOCK FROM LAST STOP OH M8TA RED LINE BU's Gregg Drew, who rushed for 136 yards yesterday, takes off on 25-yard scamper against Holy Cross.

The other guys gave me confidence and incentive. They got you going. The line fired out. They wanted to prove it wasn't a one man offense. Plus our defense gave good field position." Indeed.

Holy Cross, a team that won its first five before losing (31-25) at Brown last week, turned the ball over six times on three fumbles and three pass interceptions. EU tackles Tom Pierzga (two fumble recoveries and a blocked punt) and Mike DeGenova were all over HC quarterback Pete Colombo. "We took away their pitch," said Taylor. "I don't think they had one pitch all day. We let them ride up the middle and we wanted to force them into a situation where they had to throw." Said DeGenova, "We came up with the big play.

We worked to show what we are capable of doing." On its first possession, BU ran 13 plays, but came up empty. On its second possession. BU ran 10 plays and Jeff Pelin finished it off with a 39-yard field goal at 9:58 of the first quarter. In the second quarter, BU went on top, 6-0, on a 41-yard Pelin field goal set up by a Pierzga fumble recovery. After Glenn Verrett picked off an Art Smedberg pass and HC was penalized 15 yards for a face mask tackle, Colombo took his team By Joe Concannon Globe Staff Before the game began, there was actually a traffic jam on Commonwealth avenue and.

as much as anything else, that may have set the tone for the afternoon. Traffic jams, you see, are not exactly routine when Boston University is playing a home football game. OK, so the attraction was Holy Cross, a team on the upswing. Yet, many of the 8760 who filed into Nickersop Field yesterday afternoon were there to see BU and, when the game was history, John Silber. BU president, led the charge onto the field and into the loekerrocm.

The final was BU 15, Holy Cross 7 and, in realty, it was a lot more decisive than that. The Terriers ran off 84 plays to 51 for Holy Cross, had the ball for 39:31 of the 60 minutes, had a total offense of 338 to 211 for the Crusaders and, in effect, had this game in control What made it more significant was that BU went into the game without Mai Najarian, who had gained 1001 yards in seven games before separating his left shoulder last week against Rhode Island. In his place stepped freshman Gregg Drew, who responded with a flair of his own. Running out of the same I formation offense built around the tailback, Drew carried 28 times for 136 yards and one touchdown. "Wc didn't change one thing," said BU (5-3) coach Rick Taylor.

"We felt we'd practiced the same thing since Aug. 26. We're not a one-dimen 43 yards in five plays, with Brian Doherty scoring at 5:32 of the second quarter. When Mike Smith kicked the extra point, HC had a 7-8 lead. Before intermission on this foigy afternoon Pierzga blocked a Tim Barry punt, it squirted through the end zone and BU had a safety and an 8-7 lead.

In the third quarter, Wayne Clarke picked off a Colombo pass and, after Drew raced 24 yards to the one, he scored to make it 15-7. Pelin missed his third field goal at the top of the fourth quarter. One official said it was good. Another said it was not. The latter prevailed.

It then wound down to one q'-'i HC drive that expired as time ran out with Neil McGrath wrestling Colombo to the ground. "I never saw him coming," said Colombo "It's frustrating," said HC (5-2) coach Nen Wheelwright. "The things that were going well for us haven't been the last two weeks. We're a Veer team and we're not establishing the Veer. We're not controlling the line of rimmage.

You can't go out and turn the ball over like this and constantly put your defense under that much stress." So BU is 5-3, with its sights set on its first winning season since 1974 (5-4-1) and its best season since the 1969 team went 9-2 "When we lost Mai," said Smedberg, "everybody decided to pick it up. Everybody responded. You can't ask anything more from a freshman than we got from Gregg today." 4 Lfl "rT, Screw on Attach?"

Delaware scored the first three times it had the ball on a 24-yard pass from Jeff Komlo to Ivory Sully, a 4-yard run by Tom Ciccone and a 7-yard burst by Bo Dennis. "We played very well in thai first period." said Raymond.

"We played like we're capable of playing. After that, for one reason or another, we didn't phy as well as we can." One of those reasons was Kelly's inspired play. He wound up with fcur unassisted tackles, five assists, two fumble recoveries and a blocked field goal.

Jay Kelly was stunned.

The 6 foot 3, 234-pound defensive tackle from Randolph, had just spent a frustrating afternoon for the University of Maine. Delaware pounded the Black Bears. 48-0, in another frustrating afternoon in what has become a frustrating season for Maine. "We knew they were a good team you don't beat Rhode Island by 47-0 if you're not a good team," Kelly said. "But we had good practices al! week ar.d.

coming off last week's win (31-25 over Lafayette), we figured to at leas', be in it." Needless to say, the Bears never were in the game, much to the pleasure of 19.627 partisan Delaware fans.
